Your Extraordinarily Powerful Thoughts

"Your thoughts are extraordinarily powerful, with the ability to make you mad or glad, positive or negative, excited or calm. The thoughts you think determine the emotions that you experience. When you find yourself at a crunch point, when you experience a sudden setback or reversal, your very first job is to seize control of your thoughts and feelings to ensure that you perform at your best."

-- Brian Tracy

Why Develop Your Mental Strength

Best Time To Work On Imagination

"The best time to work on a faulty imagination is at night, just as you are ready to go to sleep, for then the automatic or sub-conscious mind has everything its own way, and the thoughts or suggestions you give it just as your conscious or “day” mind is about to go off duty will be taken up and worked on during the night."

-- Napoleon Hill

The Bigger Future in the Vision

Obstacles Were My Life

"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin—real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way. Something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."

-— Fr. Alfred D’Souza (d. 2004),
Australian writer and philosopher

Knit Together Into Mastery

"Becoming an expert in something new, whatever the subject, means building small chunks of knowledge using day-by-day practice and repetition. Gradually, these small chunks can then be knit together into mastery."

-- Barbara Oakley

Bad For Those Who Never Made Mistake

"We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success; we often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.

-— Samuel Smiles (1812-1904), Scottish author and reformer

No Right Way To Achieve Success

"Achieving success in your BIG idea is unlikely to be a straight line from where you are now to where you would like to be. There is also no one right way to get there. There are just actions you can take that get you closer and other actions that will take you further away.:
