What Our Mind Attracts

"We know that our mind attracts what we think about, so if we mentally rehearse the changes we want, we provide it with a target at which to direct its subliminal attention. Seeing internal pictures of ourselves in the outcomes we want is one of the most influential habits we could ever cultivate in our desire for change."

-- Gary Dooley


"It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. ...I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing."

-- Oriah Mountain Dreamer


"Let me listen to me and not to them."

-- Gertrude Stein

How To Keep Your Dream Alive

"If your dream is to travel and see more of the world, keep your dream alive by having a photograph or picture of the places that you would like to visit on your fridge or your desk (use travel brochures). Don't leave it until it is too late: don't become one of those people who spent their later years regretting the things they didn't do."

-- Sue Hadfield


"We are each unique beings with a unique path in life. If we wish to be fulfilled, we need to go to our own hearts for direction. We might regularly ask ourselves:

"What do I really want to do?"
"What brings me greatest happiness?"
"How can I bring more of these into my life?"
Life wants us to go for what brings us most joy and meaning."

-- John Robson

How To Stretch Yourself To Succeed Forever

"To achieve a big goal, you are going to have to become a bigger person. You are going to have to develop new skills, new attitudes, and new capabilities. You are going to have to stretch yourself, and in so doing, you will be stretched forever."

-- Jack Canfield


"We don't always know what makes us happy. We know, instead, what we think SHOULD. We are baffled and confused when our attempts at happiness fail...We are mute when it comes to naming accurately our own preferences, delights, gifts, talents. The voice of our original self is often muffled, overwhelmed, even strangled, by the voices of other people's expectations. The tongue of the original self is the language of the heart."

-- Julia Cameron

Stop That Forever Thinking and Try Something

"We would advise anyone who is doing something they haven't done before is to constantly experiment.  Don't spend forever thinking, try some stuff.  It is works great.  But it's great if it doesn't work as well, as long as you learn and then adjust what you are doing.  The most important thing is to take action and make some progress."

-- Richard Newton and Ciprian Adrian Rusen


"Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge."

-- Carl Sagan


"What you must dare is to be yourself."

-- Dag Hammarskjold

Look At The Positive In Your Life

"Too often people dwell on their problems, but there are always positive things in your life that you should be thankful for.  You may have your health.  Thank God you do."

-- Barry Parker


"A critic is a legless man who teaches running."

-- Channing Pollock


"Unkind criticism is never part of a meaningful critique of you. Its purpose is not to teach or to help, its purpose is to punish."

-- Barbara Sher

You Have The Power To Find The Path

"We all have the power to find the Path that teaches us, strengthens us, and allows us to move away from the people and situations that hurt us."

-- Susan Jeffers


"Thanks to the power of our inner critics, most of us have a very poor opinion of ourselves. Yet self- contempt merely keeps us miserable and stuck in our mediocrity.

If we were to make only one change to transform the quality of our lives, we might try sending a little love our own way."

-- John Robson

Do You Know That Visualizing Your Result First Is More Important

"Visualizing what you want as if it has already happened takes your attention away from the how part of the change process and places it instead on the result. In this way, you stimulate your subliminal resources, causing the how to become transparently clear to you. How you get from A to B is less important than your ability to imagine what B will be like when you get there."

-- Gary Dooley


"In so many neighborhoods, if people want to buy a head of lettuce or salad or some fruit for their kid's lunch, they have to take two or three buses, maybe pay for a taxicab, in order to do it."

-- Michelle Obama


"If you had a friend who talked to you like you sometimes talk to yourself, would you continue to hang around with that person?"

-- Rob Bremer

Why It Is Important To Write Down You Goal

"It is important that you write down your goal, or your dream, or the kind of life you would like to lead (in whatever form – electronic or paper). Make sure that you can see it every day – there is little point in writing something down and then it disappearing into a folder on your computer or a page in your diary."

-- Sue Hadfield


"You must learn one thing: the world was made to be free in."


-- David Whyte


"Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair."

-- Khalil Gibran

What Is Concentration

"Concentration, in the sense in which it is here used, means the ability, through fixed habit and practice, to keep your mind on one subject until you have thoroughly familiarized yourself with that subject and mastered it.  It means that ability to control your attention and focus it on a given problem until you have solved it."

-- Napoleon Hill


"Beliefs separate. Loving thoughts unite."

-- Paul Ferrini


"As a holistic being you shatter the illusion of your separateness and reveal your connection to everything. This empowers you in a way that the ego-driven self could never contemplate."

-- Wayne Dyer

Where Does Your Achievement Begin

"All personal achievement starts in the mind of the individual. Your personal achievement starts in your mind. The first step is to know exactly what your problem, goal, or desire is. If you're not clear about this, then write it down, and rewrite it until the words express precisely what you are after."

-- W. Clement Stone


"Our ego focuses on how we are different from the rest of the world. Our soul lives when we experience how we are the same.  Any time you separate yourself from other people or from situations, you know your personality is in control. At such times, shift your perspective to build connection and you will move into soul.

As our picture of life becomes larger, more things make sense and we have a greater playing field for life to unfold - naturally."

-- John Robson
