Develop A Humble Learner Mindset

"A humble learner mindset is required to do things differently. Arrogance is the belief and behaviour of those who believe that a different life can be lived by doing the same things that they have always done."

-- Stephen Macdonald

What Are You Really Seeking

"You must be willing to accept and have that which you are seeking. Sometimes we pursue goals without actually wanting to attain them. We are more comfortable with the process of pursuing. Ask yourself, “Am I really completely willing to have this?”"

-- Shakti Gawain

Build Up A Habit of Persistence

"Each time you move forward in the face of adversity and disappointment, you build up a habit of persistence. You become stronger, prouder, and more powerful; you deepen your levels of self-discipline and personal strength. You develop the iron quality of success, the one quality that will carry you forward and over any obstacle that life throws in your path."

-- Andrew Clancy

Why Continue To Feed Your Mind

"It is critical that as we age, we continue to feed our minds to avoid the natural tendency to lose brain function. Our physical bodies need exercise. So does our brain. Many people of advancing age resort to solving puzzles. That is fantastic. My preference is learning something new and then remembering it long enough to take a test.  Engage and commit yourself to lifelong learning. How cool is it to keep both our bodies and minds sharp at any age!"

-- Robert Sully Sullivan

The Best Way To Learn Something

"Teach what you want to learn. The best way to learn something is to teach it. You understand it better after you explain it—and you remember it better after you take the time to recall it. Like the Golden Thirteen, you can do this in groups, with each member teaching a distinct skill or slice of information."

-- Adam Grant

The Power of Gratitude

"Even in tough times, you can look back and see how far you’ve come, how much you’ve learned, and the support you’ve received along the way. Paying attention to the “reverse gap” is a perfect exercise in gratitude and is far more likely to give you a boost of happiness than striving for happiness in the future. That’s why gratitude is such a powerful system for Blissipline."

-- Vishen Lakhian

The Deep Human Need in Our Lives

"The secret to high performance and satisfaction—at work, at school, and at home—is the deep human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world."

-- Andrew Clancy

Journey with Highs and Lows

"It's natural to want the journey to riches to be easy and painless. Unfortunately, that's not realistic. However, if you expect that your journey will include highs and lows, then you won't be surprised and you can prepare yourself, which will minimize the chances that you will give up before you reach your goal."

-- Joel Fotinos

How Important is Your Goal

"It’s not a matter of what you wish you could achieve. The question to ask is what accomplishment is most important to you — so important that you’re willing to put it at the center of your life and make any sacrifice necessary to achieve it."

-- James P. Owen

The Ultimate Mark of Potential

"Redefine success. The most meaningful form of performance is progress. The ultimate mark of potential is not the height of the peak you’ve reached, but the distance you’ve traveled—and helped others travel."

-- Adam Grant
