There Are Different Points Of View About How To Approach This Experience Of Ultimate Ecstasy, As Some People Describe It, Or Ultimate Nirvana Or Ultimate Fulfillment.

The Only Limit To Your Impact Is Your Imagination And Commitment.

I'd Say It's That Most People Think That Very Wealthy People Take Huge Risks And That's Why They Have Huge Rewards. But The Very Best On Earth Are Completely Obsessed With Not Losing Money. That Sounds Overly Simplistic, But They Know That If You Lost 50 Percent, It Takes 100 Percent To Get Even. Most People Don't Make That Math In Their Head, So It Takes Years And Years. They Are Obsessed With Not Losing Money.

Realize That The Hardest Step In Achieving Anything Is Making A True Commitment.

Emotion Is Created By Motion.

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.

If There Is Any One Skill That Every Professional Must Learn, It Is How To Brand Himself Or Herself In The Marketplace. A Brand Provides Certainty To Customers And Lets Them Know That What They`re Getting Is The Best. People Don`t Like To Make Decisions. Once We Decide, For Example, The Kind Of Toothpaste We Prefer, Rarely Do We Change. We Have To Make So Many Decisions Every Day In Our Lives That Most Of Us Are Overwhelmed.

If You Look Around The World And I Can Tell You Right Now That The Majority Of The Planet Is Focused On Certainty And Significance. And Those Two Absolutely Guarantee Unhappiness. Because If You're Driven By Significance, It Doesn't Matter What You Achieve, It's Never Enough.

One Belief That I've Developed To Carry Me Through Extremely Tough Times Is Simply This: God's Delays Are Not God's Denials.

Working Because You Want To, Not Because You Have To Is Financial Freedom.

Financial Freedom

Why Not Make Cheerfulness, Outrageousness, Playfulness A New Priority For Yourself? Make Feeling Good Your Expectation. You Don't Have To Have A Reason To Feel Good - You're Alive; You Can Feel Good For No Reason At All!

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.

Some People Get Certainty By Working Harder And Saying I'm Going To Master Something. Some People Get Certainty By Lowering Their Expectations, Going 'it Will Never Work. And They Lose Their Dreams, But They Get Their Needs. The Needs Are Not Like Goals. They're Not Like Belief Systems That Are Built Into You.

Every Form Of Power Comes Down To Language. In Law, There's All Kinds Of Words You Don't Know If You're Not A Lawyer And That Gives Them Power. In Business, It's The Same Thing.

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.

I Believe The Ultimate Path To Enlightment Is The Cultivation Of Gratitude. When You're Grateful, Fear Disappears. When You're Grateful Lack Disapears. You Feel A Sense That Life Is Uniquely Blessed, But At The Same Time, You Feel Like You're A Part Of Everything That Exists And You Know That You Are Not The Source Of It. In That State You Show Up Differently For The People Around You. Just Walking Around You Vibrate.

You Could Penetrate Anybody If You Consistently Put Out Love. Some People Can't Handle It.

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.

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

I Was Like, "if I Don't Change My Mind, If I Don't Change My Heart, If I Don't Develop Some Skill, I'm Always Going To Be Sleeping In My Car."

Don't Surround Yourself With People Who Just Affirm You. Surround Yourself With People Who Challenge You.

Anything Can Be Achieved With A Strong Enough Why!

There's A Huge Difference Between Achieving To Be Happy And Happily Achieving.

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.

A Real Decision Is Measured By The Fact That You've Taken A New Action. If There's No Action, You Haven't Truly Decided.

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

We're Not Happy Unless We Feel Like We're Growing.

It's Not About The Resources You Have Available. It's About The Resourcefulness You Have Within You.

Most People Achieve Their Goals And Are Like, "is This All There Is?" We Are Supposed To Keep Growing So We Have Something To Get. What We Get Never Makes Us Happy. You Play Yourself When You Forget That.

How Do You Turn The Invisible Into The Visible? The First Step Is To Define Your Dream Precisely; The Only Limit To What You Can Achieve Is The Extent Of Your Ability To Define With Precision That Which You Desire.

People Who Fail Focus On What They Will Have To Go Through; People Who Succeed Focus On What It Will Feel Like At The End.

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

Finding Yourself

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

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.

People Are Irrational. What I Want To Do Is Let's Take The Irrational Aspects Out Of It And Let's Just Break This Down. And You And I, Let's Go And See If We Can't Master This Thing, A Few Steps At A Time Without Giving Up Your Day Job, Without Having To Give Up Your Whole Life.

Personal Power Is The Ability To Take Action.

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.

Realize Now The Power That Your Words Command If You Simply Choose Them Wisely.

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