"Demonstrate courage by expressing your ideas, taking bold action, and standing up for yourself and others, even in the face of fear, uncertainty, threat, or changing conditions. Courage is not an occasional act, but a trait of choice and will."
-- Brendon Burchard
“Don’t bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.”
-- William Faulkner
"Have a go at everything that’s offered – apart from the bad stuff! Seize opportunities, get out there and make your own. Don’t put life off to “do another day”. This might just be your last."
-- Suzie Hayman
"Whatever you feel you want to change or improve, be on the lookout for ways to do more of what you want to do. If you’re outwardly focused, if you’re problem focused as the good among the great are, then you will be in service to others while you also respect yourself. In a methodical way, move away from what you’re sick and tired of and toward what excites you, toward some activity that’s more aligned with your heart. Chances are, you’ll soon be tapdancing your way to work."
-- Donald Van de Mark
"Like everyone else, you will have days when everything goes right and you are on top of the world. Relish those days, enjoy them, and remember them. Recall the euphoria that accompanied them when you need an extra measure of positive thinking to get back in the saddle after you’ve experienced an embarrassing and painful fall."
-- Napoleon Hill
"The principle of sowing and reaping is essential to our success. If we don’t plant the seeds and do the hard work, we can never reap the benefits of real, lasting success."
-- Sten Morgan
"Even though our basic needs have been met, our desire for money persists. Far too often, this desire begins to take root as a perceived need inside us. Before we know it, we forget that we’re talking about a want and begin confusing it with a need. And the financial stress of never having enough begins to emerge. But, in reality, what we need and what we want are rarely the same."
-- Joshua Becker
"The greatest individuals in history were unwaveringly committed to a future destiny without any need for immediate feedback from the environment. It didn’t matter to them if they hadn’t yet received any sensory indication or physical evidence of the change they wanted; they must have “reminded” themselves daily of the reality they were focused upon. Their minds were ahead of their present environment, because their environment no longer controlled their thinking. Truly, they were ahead of their time."
-- Dr. Joe Dispenza
"Friendships need ‘servicing’ just like a car. Instead of the occasional oil change, what a friendship needs is a frequent dose of coffee, chat and sympathy if we’re all to receive help when we need it – and for us to get the fun and laughter we also deserve from our friendships. But it also has to be an equal exchange for it to be a good and functioning friendship."
-- Suzie Hayman
"If you want to be accomplished, and even more, if you want to be joyous regardless of your level of achievement, find what excites you every day. It doesn’t have to be the same thing that excited you ten years ago; in fact, it’s very likely that your preferred routine will evolve throughout your life, as it should to reflect your inner self—whoever that self is at any given moment. If you find what excites you, then your process is likely to be joyous."
-- Donald Van de Mark
