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.

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.

But With Two Pennies And God, I Can Do Anything'.

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.

It Is Time To Stop Looking Outside Yourself For The Answers To Why You Haven't Created The Life And Results You Want, For It Is You Who Creates The Quality Of Life You Lead And The Results You Produce.

I Think There's Too Much Emphasis Placed On Learning Things By Rote That You Don't Really Care About. So What Happens To Students In School Is That They Eventually Lose Interest In Learning, Because They've Been Forced To Learn The Required Courses, Rather Than Pursing Their Passion.

Each Day Is An Adventure In Discovering The Meaning Of Life. It Is Each Little Thing That You Do That Day - Whether It Be Spending Time With Your Friends, Running In A Cross-country Meet Or Just Simply Staring At The Crashing Ocean- That Holds The Key To Discovering The Meaning Of Life. 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.

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?'
