"If you have the opportunity, don’t miss out on doing something for others. This doesn’t mean collecting favors and keeping track of who’s given you what or which services you’ve handed out to others. Few things create a greater sense of satisfaction than finding it in our power to help others."
-- Marian Rojas Estape
"If-then and why thinking are huge for preparation—for theorizing, experimenting, and testing—but when performing, we want to be how thinkers. When we think in terms of how, we create a commitment to ourselves to find a solution. How guides us toward action."
-- Brian Levenson
"The people who don’t give up are the people who find a way to believe in abundance rather than scarcity. They’ve taken into their hearts the idea that there is enough for all of us, that success will manifest itself in different ways for different people, that keeping the faith is more important than cashing the check."
-- Cheryl Strayed
"Every problem is a character-building opportunity, and the more difficult it is, the greater the potential for building spiritual muscle and moral fiber. Paul said, “We know that these troubles produce patience. And patience produces character.” What happens outwardly in your life is not as important as what happens inside you. Your circumstances are temporary, but your character will last forever."
-- Rick Warren
"We’re entitled to greater good because we can conceive greater good. Fear and suffering can never be imposed upon us unless we impose it on ourselves. The same goes for joy. The spirit can give us no gift that we do not give ourselves permission to accept."
-- Mark Victor Hansen
"Breakthrough moments are often the result of many previous actions, which build up the potential required to unleash a major change. This pattern shows up everywhere. Cancer spends 80 percent of its life undetectable, then takes over the body in months. Bamboo can barely be seen for the first five years as it builds extensive root systems underground before exploding ninety feet into the air within six weeks."
-- James Clear
"Growing ourselves can also be done in a solitary fashion. There is no greater gift to give yourself than to read, read, read. Get your hands on material that directly relates to the areas where you desire growth. The more you read, the more you learn, and the more confident you become. As they say, “knowledge is power.”"
- Sherrie Campbell
"The simplest thing is to think short term, to live according to our reactions to the anarchic external impulses that affect us, letting ourselves be carried along; what is better, although more difficult to achieve, is to design one’s life with long-term objectives, so that, even if something turns us out of our path, we can reorient ourselves toward our goals. A person without a project, who doesn’t know what they want to become, and who doesn’t find meaning in their life, cannot be happy."
-- Marian Rojas Estape
"Achieving your goals takes patience, research, work, work, work, discipline, self- control, and fearlessly seizing the moment when an opportunity presents itself. And the best way to do all of these things is to know what you want. Chase that dream. Do it with enthusiasm."
-- Stacie Bloomfield
"When you’re building the momentum to achieve your life dreams, you have to keep the flames of desire burning deep inside your heart, no matter what. See your desired end result fulfilled, feel as though it has been accomplished, and you’ll accomplish it."
-- Mark Victor Hansen
