I Have A Friend, A Pastor, Who Applied With Me And 419 Other People For 25 Seats On A Special Advisory Board. Though I Believed She Was Infinitely More Qualified Than Me, She Wasn't Selected And I Was. When I Saw Her At Her Church Weeks Later, I Asked Her How She Felt About The Decision. While Disappointment, Self-doubt And Defeat Would Have Been Normal Reactions To The Board's Decision, My Friend Said She Felt Great. 'how Come?' I Asked. She Said With A Smile, 'i Just Figured God Had Something Better In Store For Me.'

Gratitude Is The Single Most Important Ingredient To Living A Successful And Fulfilled Life.

If You Are Going To Be Successful, You Have To Start Hanging Out With The Successful People.

Mother Teresa Was A Hero Of Mine For A Long Time. I Just Like The Way She Took On The World From A Very Humble Place. She Has A Great Quote. When She Was Leaving Her Monestary To Start Sisters Of Charity, She Had Two Pennies. She Was Asked By A Head Priest What She Could Possibly Do With Two Pennies. She Said, 'nothing. But With Two Pennies And God, I Can Do Anything'.

If Something Doesn't Turn Out As Planned, You Will Ask Yourself, 'how Did I Create That? What Was I Thinking? What Were My Beliefs? What Did I Say Or Not Say? What Did I Do Or Not Do To Create That Result? How Did I Get The Other Person To Act That Way? What Do I Need To Do Differently Next Time To Get The Result I Want?'

As You Meditate And Become More Spiritually Attuned, You Can Better Discern And Recognize The Sound Of Your Higher Self Or The Voice Of God Speaking To You Through Words, Images, And Sensations.

Psychologists Tell Us We Think 50,000 Thoughts A Day...between 1,000 And 5,000 Thoughts In A Single Hour. Many Of Those Thoughts Are About Ourselves And About Our Performance, About Our Lovability, Our Capability And Our Significance. So The Key Is To Control Those Thoughts, Making Certain They're Always Positive.

You Become Like The People You Spend The Most Time With.

If We Are Not A Little Bit Uncomfortable Every Day, We're Not Growing. All The Good Stuff Is Outside Our Comfort Zone.

I Have Spent Forty-five Years Teasing Out The Universal Principles Of Success That Are Necessary To Create Massive Breakthroughs. I Am Committed To Teaching And Disseminating Those Around The World. I Also Believe That Most Transformational Leaders Are Focusing Too Much On Outer Techniques And Overlooking The Important Inner Qualities Of Beingness And Presence That Are Required To Create Real And Lasting Transformation In The World.

If You Don't Like Your Outcomes, Change Your Responses.

Do It, Delegate It, Delay It, Or Dump It.

When You're Nice To People, They Want To Be Nice Back To You.

What Have You Done For Yourself This Year To Create A Better Life?

May You Always Work Like You Don't Need The Money; May You Always Love Like You've Never Been Hurt; And May You Always Dance Like There's Nobody Watching.

Life Is Simply A Connect-the Dots Game, And All The Dots Have Already Been Identified And Organized By Somebody Else. All You Have To Do Is Follow The Blueprint, Use The System, Or Work The Program That They Provide.

Your Habits Will Determine Your Future.

True Freedom Is An Inward State Of Being. Once It Is Attained, No Situation In The World Can Bind One Or Limit One's Freedom.

Successful People Maintain A Positive Focus In Life No Matter What Is Going On Around Them. They Stay Focused On Their Past Successes Rather Than Their Past Failures, And On The Next Action Steps They Need To Take To Get Them Closer To The Fulfillment Of Their Goals Rather Than All The Other Distractions That Life Presents To Them.

You Either Create Or Allow Everything That Happens To You.

Remember, There Is No Perfect Time For Anything. There Is Only Now.

Change Is Inevitable In Life. You Can Either Resist It And Potentially Get Run Over By It, Or You Can Choose To Cooperate With It, Adapt To It, And Learn How To Benefit From It. When You Embrace Change You Will Begin To See It As An Opportunity For Growth.

I've Always Believed In God. I Remember Once A Guy Asked Me What It Was Like To Be Self-employed. I Said, I'm Not Self Employed. I Work For God. The Pay Is Good; He Works Me Hard.

Everything Valuable Takes Time, There Are No Overnight Successes.

If You Want Something New In Your Life, You Have To Make Space For It. I Mean That Psychologically As Well As Physically. Take A Look At Your Closet. If You Have The Kind Of Closet Where You Can't Fit Another Thing In There, That Might Be The Reason You Don't Have More New Clothes. If You Want A New Man In Your Life, You've Got To Let Go Of The One Who Stopped Dating You Five Years Ago. In Other Words, You Need To Complete The Past In Order For The Present To Show Up More Fully.

Every Time You Take A Risk Or Move Out Of Your Comfort Zone, You Have A Great Opportunity To Learn More About Yourself And Your Capacity.

Success Is The Ability To Do What You Want, Whenever You Want, As Often As You Want.

I Like Dr. Daniel Amen's 18/40/60 Rule: When You're 18, You Worry About What Everybody Is Thinking Of You; When You're 40, You Don't Give A Darn What Anybody Thinks Of You; When You're 60, You Realize Nobody's Been Thinking About You At All.

One Dad I Know Uses What I Call Post-it® Note Therapy On His Children. He Leaves Sticky Post-it Notes Everywhere ...in Their Lunch Box, Inside Their Shoes, On Top Of Their Sandwich Before He Wraps It Up. He Once Went Into His Daughter's Room, Looking For His Hammer, And On The Back Of Her Bedroom Door Were Every Post-it Note He'd Ever Given Her - Over 250 In All With Simple Messages Like 'great Job'...'i Love You'...or 'you're Special To Me.' Do You Think That Girl Knew, Without A Doubt, That Her Dad Valued Her And Loved Her?

I Would Rather Be Out Enjoying These Things Than Pondering Them. We May Never Really Discover The Meaning Of Life, But The Knowledge We Gain In Our Quest To Discover It Is Truly More Valuable.

You Only Have Control Over Three Things In Your Life - The Thoughts You Think, The Images You Visualize, And The Actions You Take (your Behavior).

Making Mistakes, Getting It Almost Right, And Experimenting To See What Happens Are All Part Of The Process Of Eventually Getting It Right.

Most Fears Cannot Withstand The Test Of Careful Scrutiny And Analysis. When We Expose Our Fears To The Light Of Thoughtful Examination They Usually Just Evaporate.

It Is A Universal Principle That You Get More Of What You Think About, Talk About, And Feel Strongly About.

By Taking The Time To Stop And Appreciate Who You Are And What You've Achieved - And Perhaps Learned Through A Few Mistakes, Stumbles And Losses - You Actually Can Enhance Everything About You. Self-acknowledgment And Appreciation Are What Give You The Insights And Awareness To Move Forward Toward Higher Goals And Accomplishments.

When You Have Inspired Thought, You Have To Trust It And You Have To Act On It.

When Your Dreams Include Service To Others - Accomplishing Something That Contributes To Others - It Also Accelerates The Accomplishment Of That Goal. People Want To Be Part Of Something That Contributes And Makes A Difference.

If You Don't Do Anything For Fear Of Doing It Wrong, Poorly, Or Badly, You Never Get Any Feedback, And Therefore You Never Get To Improve.

The Greatest Gift You Can Give Anyone Is A Gift Of Empowerment And Love.

Almost Everything We'll Ever Do In Life That Is Really Powerful, That Really Produces A Result In Our Lives, That Quantum-leaps Us To A New Level... Requires Us To Do Something Uncomfortable.

Remember, It Is Not About Luck. It Is About Doing The Right Things The Right Way.

Write Your Goals Down In Detail And Read Your List Of Goals Every Day. Some Goals May Entail A List Of Shorter Goals. Losing A Lot Of Weight, For Example, Should Include Mini-goals, Such As 10-pound Milestones. This Will Keep Your Subconscious Mind Focused On What You Want Step By Step.

Every Single Cell In Your Body Is Affected By Every Single Thought That You Have.

Keep In Mind That Part Of Growing Up Is Dealing With Difficult Issues, And The Benefits Can Be Great If You Have The Courage To Ask For Help. Human Beings Are Not Designed To Go Through Life Alone. No One Has To Bear The Burden Of Tough Times All By Themselves.

Successful People Maintain A Positive Focus In Life No Matter What Is Going On Around Them.

Decide What You Want. Believe You Can Have It. Believe You Deserve It And Believe It’s Possible For You. And Then Close Your Eyes And Every Day For Several Minutes, And Visualize Having What You Already Want, Feeling The Feelings Of Already Having It. Come Out Of That And Focus On What You’re Grateful For Already, And Really Enjoy It. Then Go Into Your Day And Release It To The Universe And Trust That The Universe Will Figure Out How To Manifest It. “jack Canfield

The Principles Always Work If You Work The Principles.

Self-esteem Is Made Up Primarily Of Two Things: Feeling Lovable And Feeling Capable.

An Important Part Of Any Focusing Regimen Is To Set Aside Time At The End Of The Day - Just Before Going To Sleep - To Acknowledge Your Successes, Review Your Goals, Focus On Your Successful Future, And Make Specific Plans For What You Want To Accomplish The Next Day.

One Of The Main Strategies Of The Successful Is That They Constantly Seek Guidance From Experts In Their Field.

Everything You Want Is On The Other Side Of Fear.

When You Truly Are On Purpose, The People, Resources, And Opportunities You Need Naturally Gravitate Toward You.

Research Now Seems To Indicate That One Hour Of Inner Action Is Worth Seven Hours Of Out-in-the-worl D Action. Think About That. You're Working Too Hard.

Everything You Want Is Out There Waiting For You To Ask. Everything You Want Also Wants You. But You Have To Take Action To Get It.

People Who Don't Make Goals End Up Working For Those Who Do.

Don't Kid Yourself. Be Honest With Yourself. Take Your Own Inventory.

When You Think You Can't, Revisit A Previous Triumph.

As You Begin To Take Action Toward The Fulfillment Of Your Goals And Dreams, You Must Realize That Not Every Action Will Be Perfect. Not Every Action Will Produce The Desired Result. Not Every Action Will Work. Making Mistakes, Getting It Almost Right, And Experimenting To See What Happens Are All Part Of The Process Of Eventually Getting It Right.

Remember That Your Thoughts Are The Primary Cause Of Everything. So When You Think A Sustained Thought It Is Immediately Sent Out Into The Universe. That Thought Magnetically Attaches Itself To The Like Frequency, And Then Within Seconds Sends The Reading Of That Frequency Back To You Through Your Feelings. Put Another Way, Your Feelings Are Communicated Back To You From The Universe, Telling You What Frequency You Are Currently On. Your Feelings Are Your Frequency Feedback Mechanism!

The Biggest Rewards In Life Are Found Outside Your Comfort Zone. Live With It. Fear And Risk Are Prerequisites If You Want To Enjoy A Life Of Success And Adventure.

When You Really Need Help, People Will Respond. Sincerity Means Dropping The Image Facade And Showing A Willingness To Be Vulnerable. Tell It The Way It Is, Lumps And All. Don't Worry If Your Presentation Isn't Perfect; Ask From Your Heart. Keep It Simple, And People Will Open Up To You.

Most Of Us Avoid Telling The Truth Because It's Uncomfortable. We're Afraid Of The Consequences-making Others Feel Uncomfortable, Hurting Their Feelings Or Risking Their Anger. And Yet, When We Don't Tell The Truth, And Others Don't Tell Us The Truth, We Can't Deal With Matters From A Basis In Reality.

The Law Of Attraction Allows For Infinite Possibilities, Infinite Abundance & Infinite Joy. It Knows No Order Of Difficulty.

Law Of Attraction

Every Time You Share Your Vision, You Strengthen Your Own Subconscious Belief That You Can Achieve It.

Anything That's Motivated From Fear Will Ultimately Take You Down The Wrong Road And Lead You In A Cul De Sac, Anything Motivated From Purpose, From Joy, And From Love Will Take You On An Evolutionary Path To Greater And Greater Happiness.

Practice Random Acts Of Kindness And Senseless Acts Of Beauty.

Overcome Your Barriers, Intend The Best, And Be Patient. You Will Enjoy More Balance, More Growth, More Income, And More Fun!

The True Task Of Spiritual Life Is Not Found In Faraway Places Or Unusual States Of Consciousness. It Is Here In The Present. It Asks Of Us A Welcoming Spirit To Greet All That Life Presents To Us With A Wise, Respectful, And Kindly Heart. We Can Bow To Both Beauty And Suffering, To Our Entanglements And Confusion, To Our Fears And To The Injustices Of The World. Honoring The Truth In This Way Is The Path To Freedom.

I Think Setting Goals Is Critical; Having Deadlines For Ourselves- How Much By When? Too Many People Have These Big Dreams Where They Want To Have A Big House On The Ocean. But Until We Say What Ocean, How Big, What Day, Our Conscience Doesn't Know What To Do With That Information. A Positive Expectancy, A Positive Attitude, A Belief That Your Dream Is Possible Is Also Helpful.

Almost Everything We'll Ever Do In Life That Is Really Powerful, That Really Produces A Result In Our Lives, That Quantum-leaps Us To A New Level . . . Requires Us To Do Something Uncomfortable. It Takes Risks To Achieve. It's Often Scary. It Requires Something You Didn't Know Before Or A Skill You Didn't Have Before. But In The End, It's Worth It. As Former Congressman Ed Forman Says, 'winners Are Those People Who Make A Habit Of Doing Things Losers Are Uncomfortable Doing.' Make Today Your Day To Start That Uncomfortable New Habit.

I'm A Big Believer In Growth. Life Is Not About Achievement, It's About Learning And Growth, And Developing Qualities Like Compassion, Patience, Perseverance, Love, And Joy, And So Forth. And So If That Is The Case, Then I Think Our Goals Should Include Something Which Stretches Us.

The Meaning Of Self-esteem Is To Feel Lovable And Capable. As Parents, We Must Love Our Children Unconditionally And Give Them A Sense Of Being Nurtured. That's The Lovable Part. Then, We Must Provide Structure - Rules, Boundaries, Daily Or Weekly Household Tasks That Give Them A Sense They Are Making A Contribution. That's What Helps Kids Grow Up Feeling Capable.

I Generally Find That Comparison Is The Fast Track To Unhappiness. No One Ever Compares Themselves To Someone Else And Comes Out Even. Nine Times Out Of Ten, We Compare Ourselves To People Who Are Somehow Better Than Us And End Up Feeling More Inadequate.

Super-successf Ul People Aren’t The Most Gifted People In Their Fields. They Just Work, Study And Practice More Than The Competition.

The Best Way To Establish Rapport With People And To Win Them Over To Your Side Is To Be Truly Interested In Them, To Listen With The Intention Of Really Learning About Them. When The Person Feels That You Are Really Interested In Getting To Know Them And Their Feelings, They Will Open Up To You And Share Their True Feelings With You Much More Quickly.

And So I Wait. I Wait For Time To Heal The Pain And Raise Me To Me Feet Once Again - So That I Can Start A New Path, My Own Path, The One That Will Make Me Whole Again.

Each Of Us Is Born With A Life Purpose. Identifying, Acknowledging, And Honoring This Purpose Is Perhaps The Most Important Action Successful People Take.

What Is The Why Behind Everything You Do?

The Day You Change Your Responses Is The Day Your Life Will Begin To Get Better.

It Takes Risks To Achieve. It's Often Scary. It Requires Something You Didn't Know Before Or A Skill You Didn't Have Before. But In The End, It's Worth It.

One Individual Can Begin A Movement That Turns The Tide Of History. Martin Luther King In The Civil Rights Movement, Mohandas Ganhi In India, Nelson Mandela In South Africa Are Examples Of People Standing Up With Courage And Non-violence To Bring About Needed Changes.

The Law Of Attraction States That Whatever You Focus On, Think About, Read About, And Talk About Intensely, You’re Going To Attract More Of Into Your Life.

Law Of Attraction

If You Love Your Work, If You Enjoy It, You're Already A Success.

Good Or Bad, Habits Always Deliver Results.

All Too Often We're Filled With Negative And Limiting Beliefs. We're Filled With Doubt. We're Filled With Guilt Or With A Sense Of Unworthiness. We Have A Lot Of Assumptions About The Way The World Is That Are Actually Wrong.

Self-esteem Does Not Mean Feeling Good All The Time. Self-esteem Means Loving Yourself Even When You Feel Badly...even When You Make A Mistake. It Means Loving Yourself Even When You're Depressed. It Means That You Accept Yourself Fully.

Simply Put, The Law Of Attraction States That You Will Attract Into Your Life Whatever You Focus On. Whatever You Give Your Energy And Attention To Will Come Back To You. So, If You Stay Focused On The Good And Positive Things In Your Life, You Will Automatically Attract More Good And Positive Things Into Your Life.

Law Of Attraction

No One Has To Bear The Burden Of Tough Times All By Themselves.

To Be 'on Purpose' Means You're Doing What You Love To Do, Doing What You're Good At, And Accomplishing What's Important To You.

Doing What You Love

Love Would Never B A Promise Of A Rose Garden Unless It Is Showered With A Light Of Faith, Water Of Sincerity, And An Art Of Passion.

It's The Feeling That Really Creates The Attraction, Not Just The Picture Or The Thought. A Lot Of People Think, “if I Think The Positive Thoughts, Or If I Visualize Having What I Want, That Will Be Enough.” But If You're Doing That And Still Not Feeling Abundant, Or Feeling Loving Or Joyful, Then It Doesn't Create The Power Of The Attraction.

People Who Ask Confidently Get More Than Those Who Are Hesitant And Uncertain. When You've Figured Out What You Want To Ask For, Do It With Certainty, Boldness And Confidence.

If You Really Stop Resisting Someone Or Stop Judging Them Or Stop Being Afraid Of Them Or Stop Imagining They're Going To Do Something Negative They Haven't Done Yet, It Changes The Energetic Field, It Changes The Relationship, And That Person - Not Always, But Often - Will Shift Their Behavior Because Of What You've Done.

Everything You Think, Say, And Do Needs To Become Intentional And Aligned With Your Purpose, Your Values, And Your Goals.

When You're Connected To A Source And To Each Other Through Conversation, Through Making Love, Through Meditation, Playing Games With Your Kids, All That Stuff, Then Your Self-esteem's Going To Go Up.

Now, When Anything 'bad' Happens, I Remember That Everything That Ever Happens To Me Has Within It The Seeds Of Something Better. I Look For The Upside Rather Than The Downside. I Ask Myself, 'where's The Greater Benefit In This Event?'

If It Ain't Fun Don't Do It.

Most Of Us Have Never Allowed Ourselves To Want What We Truly Want Because We Can't See How It's Going To Manifest.

I Attempt To Read One Book Every Day. I Don't Always Achieve That, Especially When I'm Traveling. But When I'm Home, I Read Almost A Book A Day. I Certainly Read A Minimum Of Two Or Three A Week. And As A Result Of That, I've Read Over 3,000 Books In Areas That Interest Me, Like Consciousness And Spirituality, Holistic Health, Leadership, Success, Psychological Awareness, Therapy, Etc.

Don't Just Sit There (and Complain), Do Something.

I Worked From 10 P.m. Until 1 A.m. Every Night For A Year To Write The First Chicken Soup For The Soul Book.

Believing That You Can Achieve (and Deserve) All That You Want In Your Life Is A Critical Step To Your Success. Don't Waste Your Life Believing You Can't.
