The More Rules You Have About How People Have To Be, How Life Has To Be For You To Be Happy, The Less Happy You’re Going To Be.

Energy Is Not Only The Basis Of Our Existence, It Is The Fuel That Makes Everything In Our Lives Real And Possible.

The World We Live In Is The World We Choose To Live In, Whether Consciously Or Unconsciously. If We Choose Bliss, That's What We Get. If We Choose Misery, We Get That, Too.

It's Your Unlimited Power To Care And To Love That Can Make The Biggest Difference In The Quality Of Your Life.

You Must Learn How To Handle Rejection. To Succeed, You Must Learn How To Cope With A Little Word 'no', Learn How To Strip That Rejection Of All Its Power. The Best Salesmen Are Those Who Are Rejected Most. They Are The Ones Who Can Take Any 'no' And Use It As A Prod To Go Onto The Next 'yes'.

Take Massive Action. So Many People Wait Until They Have All The Answers.

Whenever Somebody Reaches Above Their Own Limitations - I Always Tell People, The Best Time To Go Give Is When You Have Nothing.

Knowing Is Not Enough! You Must Take Action.

If You Change Nothing, Nothing Will Change.

We All Have Our Own Story. And We Stay Attached To Our Story. This Can Stop Us From Growing And Living. You Wanna Make Your Life Better? Change Your Story, Change Your Life.

Changing Your Life

Meaning Equals Emotion And Emotion Equals Life. Choose Consciously And Wisely.

It's Your Decisions, Not Your Conditions, Which Shape Your Life.

I Believe That You And I - And Everyone We'll Ever Meet - Has The Inborn Capacity To Be Heroic, To Take Daring, Courageous, And Noble Steps To Make Life Better For Others, Even When In The Short Term It Seems To Be At Our Own Expense. The Capacity To Do The Right Thing, To Dare To Take A Stand And Make A Difference, Is Within You Now.

All Successful People Learn That Success Is Buried On The Other Side Of Frustration.

And Always Remember The Ultimate Truth: Life Is Not About Money, It's About Emotion.

You Are Now At A Crossroads. This Is Your Opportunity To Make The Most Important Decision You Will Ever Make. Forget Your Past. Who Are You Now? Who Have You Decided You Really Are Now? Don't Think About Who You Have Been. Who Are You Now? Who Have You Decided To Become? Make This Decision Consciously. Make It Carefully. Make It Powerfully.

Everything In Life And Business, You Only Earn More If You Become More Valuable. Because If You Can Do More For People Than Anybody Else Does, You Can Prosper. But You Can't Do That Unless You're Constantly Educating Yourself With The Cutting Edge. My Whole Life, Even When I Had No Money, I Would Invest In Education.

Lasting Fulfillment Is Attained Only Through Gaining Insight Into The Core Of Our Human Nature, Unleashing The Power To Understand, Appreciate, And Enjoy Our Lives At The Deepest Level.

I Don't Believe In Waiting For Great Feelings. I Need To Wire Myself For Positivity And Gratitude. I Need To Build A Highway To Those.

Lead A Life Of Your Own Design, On Your Own Terms -not One That Others, Or The Environment Have Scripted For You.

So Many People Feel That They Have To Wait For Certain Experiences In Order To Feel The Emotions They Desire. For Instance, They Don't Give Themselves Permission To Feel Loved Or Happy Or Confident Unless A Particular Set Of Expectations Is Met. I'm Here To Tell You That You Can Feel Any Way You Choose At Any Moment In Time.

The Only Problem We Really Have Is We Think We're Not Supposed To Have Problems! Problems Call Us To Higher Level- - Face & Solve Them Now!

Emotion Is Changed By Motion.

Simply By Changing Your Habitual Vocabulary, You Can Instantaneously Change How You Think, How You Feel, And How You Live.

Change Your Habitual Questions And Change Your Destiny!

Inside Of All Of Us We Have These Patterns Where We Eventually Become At Least Ethnocentric. We Care About Our Group, Our Mom, Our Dad, Our Family, Our Religion. And Some People, Eventually, Evolve Beyond That Until They're More Human-centric Or Even Spirit-centric Where They Care About Everything.

The Only Impossible Journey Is The One You Never Begin.

You're In The Midst Of A War: A Battle Between The Limits Of A Crowd Seeking The Surrender Of Your Dreams, And The Power Of Your True Vision To Create And Contribute. It Is A Fight Between Those Who Will Tell You What You Cannot Do, And That Part Of You That Knows...and Has Always Known...that We Are More Than Our Environment; And That A Dream, Backed By An Unrelenting Will To Attain It, Is Truly A Reality With An Imminent Arrival.

I Take 10 Minutes. I Focus On What I'm Most Grateful For. Then I Do A Little Prayer For Three Minutes, A Blessing Within Myself Through God, And Then Out To My Family And Friends And All Those I Serve. Then My Last Three Minutes Are The Three Things I Want To Achieve Most. At The End Of 10 Minutes, You Are Wired. Everything In Your Life Gets Filtered Through That.

I Don't Have The Delusion That I'm The Best Or Have The Right Answer. Whenever Someone Is Out There Pissed At You Or Me, They Don't Even Know You Or I. What They Are Really Pissed At Is Themselves. You Might Have Total Respect For Them But They Don't Respect Themselves.

Impossible Is Not A Fact... It's An Opinion. What's Impossible Only Remains So Until Someone Finds A Way To Do What Others Are Sure Can't Be Done.

Effective Leaders Have The Ability To Consistently Move Themselves And Others To Action Because They Understand The “invisible Forces” That Shape Us

It`s Not Our Conditions, But Our Decisions That Shape Our Lives. I Truly Believe That It`s In Your Moments Of Decision That Your Destiny Is Shaped. So Choose Carefully What Things Mean, And What To Do About Them. With Conscious Focus, A Connection With Our Loving Nature, And A Desire To Serve, We Truly Can Experience Heaven While Still Here On Earth.

Every Great, Successful Person I Know Shares The Capacity To Remain Centered, Clear, And Powerful In The Midst Of Emotional 'storms'.

The Greater Your Power Degree, The Extra Environment Friendly Your Physique. The Extra Environment Friendly Your Physique, The Higher You Are Feeling And The Extra You'll Use Your Expertise To Supply Excellent Outcomes.

Much More Devastating Than Frustration Is The Emotion Of Disappointment.

Your Emotions Are Nothing But Biochemical Storms In Your Brain And You Are In Control Of Them At Any Point In Time.

My Whole Life Is Driven By Love. It Always Has Been. It's Never Been Driven By Material Things - Which Are Just Benefits Of Doing Something I Loved.

You Want To Change Your Life? Control The Only Thing You Can Control: The Meaning You Give Something.

Take Control Of Your Consistent Emotions And Begin To Consciously And Deliberately Reshape Your Daily Experience Of Life.

If You Are Going To Succeed, You Must Deal With What Caused You To Fail

Self Improvement

How Am I Going To Live Today In Order To Create The Tomorrow I'm Committed To?

Breakthroughs Happen When The Insight Comes That I Can Do Something Right Now To Improve Things. I Am Constantly Looking To Do Something To Provide People With Strategies To Create Those Immediate Breakthroughs. That's My Mission.

Most Individuals Work Much Harder To Hang On To What They Have Than To Take The Necessary Risk To Shoot For Their Dreams.

The Quality Of Your Life Is Directly Related To How Much Uncertainty You Can Comfortably Handle.

One Of The Finest Beliefs I Developed Years Ago That Helped Me To Enjoy All Of My Life Experience Was The Idea That There Are No Bad Experiences, That No Matter What I Go Through In Life - Whether It's A Challenging Experience Or A Pleasurable One - Every Experience Provides Me Something Of Value If I Look For It.

People Who Succeed Are Those Who Know How To Mobilize All Their Physical And Mental Resources On A Goal.

It's Not About Success, It's About Progress.

Excitement Must Lead To Immediate Action Or You Will Lose The Power Of Momentum. More Dreams Die Because We Fail To Seize The Moment. Do It Now!

Success Leaves Clues, But They Must Be Acted Upon.

Expectations Send Unconscious Signals That People Respond To.

The Real Joy In Life Comes From Finding Your True Purpose And Aligning It With What You Do Every Single Day.

Your Income Right Now Is A Result Of Your Standards, It Is Not The Industry, It Is Not The Economy.

People Are Not Lazy. They Simply Have Impotent Goals - That Is, Goals That Do Not Inspire Them.

The Quickest, Simplest, And Most Powerful Way I Know To Handle Any Emotion Is To Remember A Time When You Felt A Similar Emotion And Realize That You've Successfully Handled This Emotion Before.

The Meeting Of Preparation With Opportunity Generates The Offspring We Call Luck.

I Believe Life Is Constantly Testing Us For Our Level Of Commitment, And Life's Greatest Rewards Are Reserved For Those Who Demonstrate A Never-ending Commitment To Act Until They Achieve. This Level Of Resolve Can Move Mountains, But It Must Be Constant And Consistent. As Simplistic As This May Sound, It Is Still The Common Denominator Separating Those Who Live Their Dreams From Those Who Live In Regret.

If You Are Driven By Certainty You Can't Grow. If You Are Driven By Certainty If Somebody Messes With You, You Can Get Very Intense, Even Violent, Depending Upon The Person's Personality.

What Is An Extraordinary Life? A Life Of Meaning, A Magnificent Life, A Life Of Joy, Happiness, Love, Passion, Success, And Fulfillment. Life Experienced On Your Terms.

Whatever You Really Want, Wants Don't Get Met Consistently, Standards Do.

Life Is The Dance Between What You Desire Most, And What You Fear Most

Success Leaves Clues. Go Figure Out What Someone Who Was Successful Did, And Model It. Improve It, But Learn Their Steps. They Have Knowledge.

People Say It Takes 10 Years To Change Your Life. It's Bullshit. It Takes A Moment, A Second. But It May Take You 10 Years To Get To The Point Of Finally Saying, "enough."

I Naturally End Up Looking For Things To Be Grateful For. It Doesn't Mean I Don't Sometimes Feel Angry Or Fearful But Because I'm Wired For Positive Emotions, Net, I End Up Treating Others And Myself Better.

Treating Others

I Want People To Be Inspired To Do What's In Front Of Them. If You Won't Give A Dime Out Of A Dollar, Don't Talk To A Billionaire About Giving Their Money Away Because If You Don't Give A Dime Out Of A Dollar, I Can Promise You, You're Not Going To Give A 100 Million Out Of A Billion. It's A Lie.

The Secret Of Success Is Learning How To Use Pain And Pleasure Instead Of Having Pain And Pleasure Use You. If You Do That, You're In Control Of Your Life. If You Don't, Life Controls You.

The One Thing That Separates Winners From The Losers, Is , Winners Take Action.

Quality Questions Create A Quality Life.

Quality Of Life

Will Today Be The Day You Decide Once And For All To Make Your Life Consistent With The Quality Of Your Spirit? Then Start By Proclaiming, "this Is What I Am. This Is What My Life Is About. And This Is What I'm Going To Do. Nothing Will Stop Me From Achieving My Destiny. I Will Not Be Denied!

Today Is The Day

If You're Gonna Make A Change, You're Gonna Have To Operate From A New Belief That Says Life Happens Not To Me But For Me.

If There's Anything You're Not Happy About-in Your Relationships, In Your Health, In Your Career-make A Decision Right Now About How You're Going To Change It Immediately.

The Way To Expand Our Lives Is To Model The Lives Of Those People Who Are Already Succeeding.

Think Of Your Mind, Your Emotions, And Your Spirit As The Ultimate Garden. The Way To Ensure A Bountiful, Nourishing Harvest Is To Plant Seeds Like Love, Warmth, And Appreciation, Instead Of Seeds Like Disappointment, Anger, And Fear.

Questions Provide The Key To Unlocking Our Unlimited Potential.

Having An Identity That Is Specifically Linked To Your Age Or How You Look Would Definitely Set You Up For Pain Because These Things Will Change. If We Have A Broader Sense Of Who We Are, Our Identity Never Becomes Threatened.

Do What You Did In The Beginning Of A Relationship And There Won't Be An End.

You Shape Your Perceptions, Or Someone Shapes Them For You. You Do What You Want To Do, Or You Respond To Someone Else's Plan For You.

You Have To Make The Shift From Being A Consumer In The Economy To Becoming An Owner-and You Do It By Becoming An Investor.

Common Sense Is Not Too Common.

You Can't Sit At The Table Of Success For Too Long Or You'll Feel Bored And Dead.

Cultivate Curiosity. If You Really Want To Grow In Your Lifetime, Learn To Be As Inquisitive As A Child. Curious People Are Never Bored, And For Them Life Becomes An Unending Study Of Joy.

The Questions You Ask Consistently Will Create Either Enervation Or Enjoyment, Indignation Or Inspiration, Misery Or Magic. Ask The Questions That Will Uplift Your Spirit And Push You Along The Path Of Human Excellence

You Can't Raise A Happy, More Resilient Kid If You're Not A Happy, More Resilient Adult.

I Got Addicted To Lighting People Up, Just Seeing People So Happy 'cause They Rediscovered What They're Capable Of And So That Became My Life's Work.

Success Without Happiness Is Failure.

There's Always A Way - If You're Committed.

If You Want Anything To Change, You've Got To Change It. If You Want Things To Get Better, You've Got To Get Better. And The Only Way To Really Do Well In Life Is To Find More Value Than Anybody.

Having A Powerful Enough Why Will Provide You With The Necessary How

Happiness Is In The Mind, Experiences Of Joy Or Pleasure Should Be Found In The Body; But Ongoing Joy, Pure Unadulterated Joy, That Feeling Of Bliss For No Reason Comes When You Feel Like Your Life Matters Because It Matters To More Than Yourself.

The Direction We're Heading Is More Important Than Individual Results.

It's Not About The Goal. It's About Becoming The Type Of Person That Can Accomplish The Goal.

Let's Face It, We're Not About To Earn Our Way To Wealth. That's A Mistake Millions Of Americans Make. We Think That If We Work Harder, Smarter, Longer, We'll Achieve Our Financial Dreams, But Our Paycheck Alone-no Matter How Big-isn't The Answer.

What I Really Like Is Changing A Life, Helping Someone Change A Business, Change A Family. In The Beginning, It Was Because I Was Willing To Only Be Paid For A Result. I Wasn't A Therapist; There Were No Such Thing As Coaches Back Then. You Had To Be A Therapist And It Had To Be Paid For By Somebody, And I Saw What Therapists Did And I Was Honestly Disturbed By It, Because I See People In Therapy For Five Years And I Was, Like, "this Is Absurd."

Surmounting Difficulty Is The Crucible That Forms Character.

What You Consistently Speak With Emotional Intensity, You Will Experience, You Will Create, And You Will Become. The Words That You Speak With Emotional Conviction Become The Life You Live - This Is Your Heaven Or This Is Your Hell.

It's Not Resources But Resourcefulness That Ultimately Makes The Difference.

Resourcefulness

The "i've Tried Everything" Story Ensures Failure. You Must Create An Empowering Story That Recognizes That Everyone Has Failed A Lot But Successful People Have Found A Way To Rebound Until They Succeed.

Sometimes, Not Getting What You Want Can Be The Most Valuable Experience Of Your Entire Life.

Getting What You Want

You Can Be A They And Be A Billionaire. Not All Billionaires Are Happy And Fulfilled. My Whole Thing Is, Add Value To Whoever You Meet. Sometimes, The Value Is Just Being Happy And Loving, Giving An Extra Couple Of Moments To Look Someone In The Eye. Nothing Replaces Authentic Feeling And Emotion.

Things Do Not Have Meaning. We Assign Meaning To Everything.

Engaging People Is About Meeting Their Needs, Not Yours

Each Day That We Live, We're Taking In New Information, Ideas, Concepts, Experiences, And Sensations. We Need To Consciously Stand Guard At The Doors Of Our Minds To Make Sure That Whatever We're Allowing To Enter Will Cause Our Lives To Be Enriched, That The Experiences We Pursue Will Add To Our Stockpile Of Possibility.

The Secret Of Living Is Giving

You Can't Wait For The Perfect Situation. Find Something You Love. People You Love. And Get Out There And You'll Discover It.

How You Feel Is Not The Result Of What Is Happening In Your Life-it Is Your Interpretation Of What Is Happening.

When People 'succeed' They Tend To Party, When They 'fail' They Tend To Ponder.

Remember: Courage, Unused, Diminishes. Commitment, Unexercised, Wanes. Love, Unshared, Dissipates.

God’s Wealth Circulates In My Life, It Flows To Me In Avalanches Of Abundance. All My Needs, Desires And Goals Are Met Instantaneously, For I Am One With God And He Is Everything!

Keep Your Goals In Front Of You, And Your Fears Behind You.

The Fact Is: You Are Not A Manager Of Circumstance, You're The Architect Of Your Life's Experience.

Remember, Ask And You Shall Receive. If You Ask A Terrible Question, You'll Get A Terrible Answer. Your Mental Computer Is Ever Ready To Serve You, And Whatever Question You Give It, It Will Surely Come Up With An Answer.

When You Know What's Most Important To You, Making A Decision Is Quite Simple.

It's Not Just Getting A Goal That Matters, But The Quality Of Life You Experience Along The Way.

Most Of Us Make Unconscious Choices In The Words That We Use; We Sleep-walk Through The Maze Of Possibilities Available To Us.

Most Fears In Life Rarely Come To Fruition.

See It As It Is, Not Worse Than It Is Just So You Have A Reason Not To Try.

Live Every Day With An Attitude Of Gratitude.

I'm Both Challenged And Excited. My Excitement Is: I Get A Chance To Give Something Back. My Challenge Is: The Shortest Seminar I Usually Do Is 50 Hours.

You Want To Know The Biggest Illusion About Success? That It's Like A Pinnacle To Be Climbed, A Thing To Be Possessed, Or A Static Result To Be Achieved. If You Want To Succeed, If You Want To Achieve All Your Outcomes, You Have To Think Of Success As A Process, A Way Of Life, A Habit Of Mind, A Strategy For Life.

When You Go On An Extreme Diet, Your Body's Self-preservation Mechanism Responds By Burning Calories As Slowly As Possible. Of Course, That Makes It Much More Difficult To Lose Weight.

I Have Seen Business Moguls Achieve Their Ultimate Goals But Still Live In Frustration, Worry, And Fear. What's Preventing These Successful People For Being Happy? The Answer Is They Have Focused Only On Achievement And Not Fulfillment. Extraordinary Accomplishment Does Not Guarantee Extraordinary Joy, Happiness, Love, And A Sense Of Meaning. These Two Skill Sets Feed Off Each Other, And Make Me Believe That Success Without Fulfillment Is Failure.

People Who Experience Negative Or Stressful Emotions On An Ongoing Basis Are Less Healthy And Live Shorter Lives.

If You Pursue Enrichment And Growth, You Must Increase Your References By Pursuing Ideas And Experiences That Wouldn't Be A Part Of Your Life If You Didn't Consciously Seek Them Out.

I'm On A Mission To Help People Grow And Give. The More They Grow The More They Can Give, The More Life They Build, The Greater The Quality Of Their Life.

No Matter How Difficult The Situation Is, It Won't Last Forever. What Follows The Night Is The Day. What Follows The Winter Is The Spring.

If We Get Total Certainty, We Get … Bored Out Of Our Minds. So, God, In Her Infinite Wisdom, Gave Us A Second Human Need, Which Is Uncertainty. We Need Variety. We Need Surprise.

Change Is Inevitable. Progress Is Optional .

I Have No Delusions That I'm The Only Source Of Improving People's Lives Or That I'm Even The Right Source. My Style Is Intense, And It's Not Going To Be Right For Everybody.

That's Basically What I Have People Do, I Have Them Become Aware. Once You Set A Goal, Once You Become Aware Of Something, It Becomes Part Of Your Consciousness.

The Best Way To Stay Away From They Is Really Simple. Stay With The People Who Have Some Passion. Stay With The People Who Know The Truth. I Like To Find The They And Turn Them Into We. I Like To Take The Theys And Herd Them. People That Are Skeptical, The Theys, I Can Bring Them To We As Much As I Can.

Things Are Only Impossible Until Somebody Does What Another Believes Can't Be Done.

We Only Learn Our Limits By Going Beyond Them. I Propose That We All Commit Ourselves To The Process Of Constant And Never Ending Improvement.

Plan For Pleasure For Each And Every Day.

I Think Self-education Is The Greatest And Best Thing You Could Ever Make.

Success Is Doing What You Want To Do, When You Want, Where You Want, With Whom You Want, As Much As You Want.

You Must Find Something You Want To Live For That's Bigger Than Yourself - A Mission - Whether It's Your Children, A Business, A Non-profit, Whatever. That Pulls You To Achieve, Which Is Far More Sustainable Than To Push Yourself To. You Can Only Push Yourself For So Long.

When A Person With Money Meets A Person With Experience, The Person With The Experience Ends Up With Your Money.

When People Succeed They Party, When People Fail They Ponder.

The Truth Is That Even In The Information Age, Information Is Not Enough. If All We Needed Were Ideas And Positive Thinking, Then We All Would Have Had Ponies When We Were Kids And We Would All Be Living Our "dream Life" Now. Action Is What Unites Every Great Success. Action Is What Produces Results. Knowledge Is Only Potential Power Until It Comes Into The Hands Of Someone Who Knows How To Get Himself To Take Effective Action. In Fact, The Literal Definition Of The Word "power" Is "the Ability To Act."

Positive Thinking

A Genuine Quality Of Life Comes From Consistent, Quality Questions.

Quality Of Life

If You Want Access To The Files Of Valuable Information In A Computer, You Must Understand How To Retrieve The Data By Asking For It With The Proper Commands. Likewise, What Enables You To Get Anything You Want From Your Own Personal Databanks Is The Commanding Power Of Asking Questions.

Asking Questions

The People Who Shape Our Lives And Our Cultures Have The Ability To Communicate A Vision Or A Quest Or A Joy Or A Mission.

Only Those Who Have Learned The Power Of Sincere And Selfless Contribution Experience Life's Deepest Joy: True Fulfillment.

No One's Life Is A Smooth Sail; We All Come Into Stormy Weather. But It's This Adversity - And More Specifically Our Resilience - That Makes Us Strong And Successful.

Often People Talk About How They Feel 'stuck' In A Situation. You're Never Stuck! You May Be A Little Frustrated, You May Not Have Clear Answers, But You're Not Stuck. The Minute You Represent The Situation To Yourself As Being Stuck, Though, That's Exactly How You'll Feel. We Must Be Very Careful About The Metaphors We Allow Ourselves To Use.

I'm Always Loading My Brain With New Ways Of Looking At Something.

Success Happens With A Consistent Increase In Quality In Your Life

The Difference Between Those Who Fail To Achieve Their Goals In Life And Those Who Succeed Is The Difference Between Those Who Cannot Put Themselves In A Supportive State And Those Who Can Consistently Put Themselves In A State That Supports Them In Their Achievements.

When You Hit A Plateau You Have To Be Willing To Get A Little Bit Worse Before You Get Massively Better.

The Defining Factor [for Success] Is Never Resources; It’s Resourcefulness.

Love Is Not A Business. It's Not A Transaction. It's Not An Exchange Or Something You Get For Doing Something It's Not A Trade. It's A Gift!

Progress Equals Happiness.

See Things The Way They Are Not Worse Than They Are

You Could Be Winning And Feel Like You're Losing Because The Scorecard You're Using Is Unfair.

Raise Your Standards For The One Thing Over Which You Have Complete Control--yourse Lf. It Means You're Committed To Being Intelligent, Flexible, And Creative Enough To Consistently Find A Way To Look At Your Life In A Fashion That Makes Any Experience Enriching.

My Teacher Jim Rohn Taught Me A Simple Principle: Every Day, Stand Guard At The Door Of Your Mind, And You Alone Decide What Thoughts And Beliefs You Let Into Your Life. For They Will Shape Whether You Feel Rich Or Poor, Cursed Or Blessed.

Many People Make The Mistake Of Thinking That All The Challenges In Their Lives Would Dissipate If They Just Had Enough Money. Nothing Could Be Further From The Truth. Earning More Money, In And Of Itself, Rarely Frees People. It's Equally Ridiculous To Tell Yourself That Greater Financial Freedom And Mastery Of Your Finances Would Not Offer Your Greater Opportunities To Expand, Share, And Create Value For Yourself And Others.

The Average American Thinks Billionaire Investors Are Going To Be Right Based On Some Talking Head. They Invest And They Have No Backup Plan. Americans Think These Guys Are Giant Risk-takers. The Truth Is They Believe In Taking As Little Risk As Humanly Possible, For The Maximum Amount Of Upside. They're Looking For That Spread Of Disproportionate Risk-reward.

Knowledge Is Only Power To The Extent That It Is... U S E D

Long Ago, I Realized That Success Leaves Clues, And That People Who Produce Outstanding Results Do Specific Things To Create Those Results. I Believed That If I Precisely Duplicated The Actions Of Others, I Could Reproduce The Same Quality Of Results That They Had.

You Become What You Do Most Of The Time.

Awaken The Giant Within

When People Say Money Doesn't Matter, It Sure As Hell Does When You're Able To Show Your Mother A Beach House And Then Hand Her The Keys To It. That Was One Of The Happiest Moments Of My Life.

Who You Spend Time With Is Who You Become.

Yesterday Does Not Equal Tomorrow. Forget The Past And Move Towards Your Goals.

Probably The Most Pervasive False Belief Most Of Us Harbor Is The Fallacy That Only Some Superhuman Act Would Have The Power To Turn Our Problems Around. Nothing Could Be Further From The Truth. Life Is Cumulative. Whatever Results We're Experiencing In Our Lives Are The Accumulation Of A Host Of Small Decisions We've Made As Individuals, As A Family, As A Community, As A Society, And As A Species.

Time And Again, Researchers Have Shown That Students' Capabilities Are Powerfully Impacted By The Identities They Develop For Themselves As The Result Of Teachers' Belief In Their Level Of Intelligence.

A Problem Is A Question You Haven't Yet Answered To A Level That Has Fulfilled You.

There Are Millions Of Business Ideas Out There But Only A Tiny Percentage Of Businesses Succeed.

You're Already A Financial Trader. You Might Not Think Of It In Just This Way, But If You Work For A Living, You're Trading Your Time For Money. Frankly, It's Just About The Worst Trade You Can Make. Why? You Can Always Get More Money, But You Can't Get More Time.

Loss Is Imaginary. Nothing Ever Disappears In The Universe; It Only Changes Form.

The Truth Is That We Can Learn To Condition Our Minds, Bodies, And Emotions To Link Pain Or Pleasure To Whatever We Choose. By Changing What We Link Pain And Pleasure To, We Will Instantly Change Our Behaviors.

Every Decision In Your Life Is Controlled By Your Beliefs And Values. You May Not Realize It, But You Have The Power To Choose What You Believe About Your Life, People, Money And Health. You Can Either Choose Beliefs That Limit You, Or Beliefs That Empower You To Move Toward Success. Your Beliefs Energize You To Create The World You Want To Live In Right Now. The Key Is To Be Aware Of Them Because What You Value Determines What You Focus On.

What Changes Your Life Is Not Learning More. What Changes Your Life Is Making Decisions & Using Your Personal Power & Taking Action.

There Are No Failures, Only Outcomes. As Long As I Learn Something, I Am Succeeding.

Happiness Is Found In The Absence Of Expectation And A Continuous Focus On Appreciation.

Individuals Who Succeed Have A Belief In The Power Of Commitment. If There's A Single Belief That Seems Almost Inseparable From Success, It's That There's No Great Success Without Commitment. If You Look At Successful People In Any Field, You'll Find They're Not Necessarily The Best And The Brightest, The Fastest And The Strongest. You'll Find They're The Ones With The Most Commitment.

The Third Element Of Success Is Your State: You Must Replace A Default State Of Pessimism Or Anger With One Of Determination, Of Will, Of Generosity, Of Curiosity, Of Gratitude. The More We Can Put Ourselves In Such Beautiful States Rather Than Suffering States, The More They Become Habits Of Being And We End Up Making Better Decisions.

There Is No Such Thing As Failure. There Are Only Results.

The Number One Key To Success In Life Is To Master Your Own State. If You Can Manage And Master Your States, There's Nothing You Can't Do.

Be Yourself. That's It. I Got About 45 [billionaires] . They Are All Different, All Unique, And They Are All Self-made.

Life Is A Gift, And It Offers Us The Privilege, Opportunity, And Responsibility To Give Something Back By Becoming More.

It Is Your Decisions, And Not Your Conditions, That Determine Your Destiny.

You've Got To Be In A Determined State In Order To Succeed.

The Way To Go From Discord To Harmony Is To Go From Concentrating On Differences To Concentrating On Similarities.

Think Of All Your Experiences As A Huge Tapestry That Can Be Laid Out In Whatever Pattern You Wish. Each Day You Add A New Thread To The Weaving. Do You Craft A Curtain To Hide Behind, Or Do You Fashion A Magic Carpet That Will Care You To Unequaled Heights?

If You Don't Make A Conscious Effort To Control Your Focus-and Decide In Advance Which Things You're Going To Focus On-you'll Be So Pulled By The Demands Of The World That You Will Soon Find Yourself Living In Reaction Rather Than Living A Life Plan You've Designed For Yourself.

Finding Yourself

The Past Doesn't Equal The Future. All Great Leaders, All People Who Have Achieved In Any Area Of Life, Know The Power Of Continuously Pursuing Their Vision, Even If All The Details Of How To Achieve It Aren't Yet Available

I Remember Reading About The Astounding Number Of People In This Country Who Die Within Three Years Of Retiring, Which Proves To Me That If You Lose The Sense That You Are Producing Or Contributing In Some Way, You Literally Lose The Will To Live, And That If You Do Have A Reason To Hang On, You Will.
