"Decide to become consistently exceptional. Create a can-do attitude to give yourself an attitude of gratitude—an attitude that’s going to give you more altitude than anyone’s ever had before. Maintain a positive mental attitude and an extraordinary mindset."
-- Mark Victor Hansen
"It takes some extra effort and energy to really evaluate your thoughts. But overly positive or exaggeratedly negative thoughts will influence how you feel and behave and can interfere with your quest for mental strength. Examine whether your thoughts are realistic before determining a course of action so you can make the best decisions for yourself. Identify beliefs and thoughts that will hold you back, such as those that encourage you to give away your power, waste energy on things you can’t control, dwell on the past, or expect immediate results. Replace them with more realistic and productive thoughts."
-- Amy Morin
"Knowing how wonderful taking walks makes me feel has also helped me tune in to when I’m feeling wound up. I recognize the signs that it’s time to pause and head straight to the walking trail near my house."

"Create habits that force you to fight complacency in preparation. Remember, complacency is the enemy of success."

"A life lived to its fullest is nothing more than a series of years, months, weeks, and days lived in the same fashion. Somehow, when we project into the future, we only think of things that hold a great deal of significance to us."
-- Jim Stovall

-- Marian Rojas Estape
“Habits of thinking need not be forever. One of the most significant findings in psychology in the last twenty years is that individuals can choose the way they think.”
-- Martin Seligman
"Find your genius. Find your uniqueness. Ask yourself, what do I like? What energizes me? What would I do if I didn’t have to work? What’s my passion? What’s my unique calling? What’s my life assignment? Discover what you’re good at doing and what you’re great at doing? Repeat it, improve it, polish it, grow forward and you’ll wow yourself."
-- Mark Victor Hansen
"Sometimes motion is useful, but it will never produce an outcome by itself. It doesn’t matter how many times you go talk to the personal trainer, that motion will never get you in shape. Only the action of working out will get the result you’re looking to achieve."
-- James Clear
