Let Us Demand Courage

"Let us demand courage. The world’s fate lies with the number of its people dedicated to courageous action. In all areas of influence, we must defeat our own fears and instill the same strength into those we care for and serve. We must motivate people not to talk but to act, never allowing others to let words substitute for actual effort."

-- Brendon Burchard

When I Get Tired and Want To Stop

“When I’d get tired and want to stop, I’d wonder what my next opponent was doing. When I could see them still working,  I’d start pushing myself. When I could see him in my shower, I’d push myself harder.”

--Dan Yable, Olympic Gold medalist in Wrestling

Just Figuring Out How Your Life Works

"When you fail you’re just figuring out how your life works. Every time I’ve failed since then I’ve been adding to the list of things that I know don’t work for me, or didn’t work in the way that I did them the first time."

-- Nicholas Haralambous

Your Energy and Ability to Work

“Average person puts only 25 per cent of his energy and ability into his work. The world takes off its hat to those who put in more than 50 per cent of their capacity, and stands on its head for those few and far between soul who devote 100 per cent.”

-— Andrew Carnegie

Imagination is a Faculty of The Mind

"Fortunate is the young man or young woman who learns, early in life, to use imagination, and doubly so in this age of greater opportunity. Imagination is a faculty of the mind which can be cultivated, developed, extended and broadened by use."

-- Napoleon Hill

The Desire To Grow

“The desire to grow is nothing less than the love of existence – a passion for being here and a deep desire to fully explore life.”

-- Dan Sullivan

What We Missed We Missed

"What we missed, we missed. Do not now add the weight of sadness. We can add nothing to yesterday, and we should attach nothing to what we did or did not do, for all those moments are in the ether now, stranded only in the stories in our minds."

-- Brendon Burchard

Remember To Take Power Breaks

"The grass always looks greener on the other side. Variety is the spice of life. Take power breaks if you are feeling burnout as it’s not the length but the depth in our work that counts."

-- Rupal Jain

When You Gave Up Blame and Take Responsibility

"To give up blame and take responsibility is to acknowledge that there is always something you can do. You never have to accept the illusion that you are powerless in the face of circumstances or other people’s behavior. You need to find the personal response, the change in your own behavior, that will lead to a different result."

-- Dave Corbet and Ian Roberts

Desire Without Belief is Deflating

"Consider the would-be entrepreneur, who wants to start a business but never leaves his job because he doesn’t believe he can make it on his own. These people learn a tough life truth: Desire without belief in self is ultimately deflating."

-- Brendon Burchard
