"Learn to love yourself, and to move through life with a sense of well-being. The most important thing is knowing how to be good to yourself. People who remain stuck in a state of guilt can’t manage to see their strengths or their talents. They see everything as crashing down on them because of their limitations or defects—because their perception is distorted!"
-- Marian Rojas Estape
"Many people think they lack motivation when what they really lack is clarity. It is not always obvious when and where to take action. Some people spend their entire lives waiting for the time to be right to make an improvement."
-- James Clear
"There is one grand lie—that we are limited. The only limits we have are the limits we believe."
-- Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
"Discomfort isn’t simply about work ethic. I’ve seen people with a strong work ethic become very comfortable in their training. Their growth slows down, they become complacent, and those top performers start to slide. You can show up every day to do your job, to train, to put in the hours of practice—and still not take it to the level of an elite performer in preparation. They push themselves to do things that their brain is saying are impossible. Being uncomfortable is a ever-ending cycle that begins anew every time their performance ends."
-- Brian Levenson
"We become old in our attitudes when we begin to believe that our best days or the best things in life are behind us. We begin to cling to memories instead of the expectation of tomorrow. On the other hand, no matter what age we may be, if we assume “The best is yet to come,” it becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy and will insure us a great day ahead."
-- Jim Stovall
"Procrastination takes its toll on success and happiness; accomplishment and indecisiveness are as contradictory as success and procrastination. Your life will only improve by your actions."
-- Mark Victor Hansen
"My willpower is about having the confidence and mindset to know that I can and will finish. Willpower definitely grows the more you achieve the little things despite adversity. And the more I believe I’ll gain more confidence as I proceed, then the more I know I can continue on increasingly challenging roads to achieve even bigger things. So willpower grows over time."
-- Ros Taylor
"Though it might feel artificial and forced in the beginning, get started on whatever it is you hope to achieve and quite soon the momentum takes over and you find yourself easily carrying on with whatever it is you intended to do. All it takes is a little effort at the start."
-- Gill Hasson
"Hundreds of studies have shown that implementation intentions are effective for sticking to our goals, whether it’s writing down the exact time and date of when you will get a flu shot or recording the time of your colonoscopy appointment. They increase the odds that people will stick with habits like recycling, studying, going to sleep early, and stopping smoking."
-- James Clear
"Our basic needs are very simple. “Stuff” beyond that is either icing on the cake or baggage that weighs us down. Make sure that you have your “stuff” instead of your “stuff” having you."
-- Jim Stovall
