Make Sure To Immediately Write Down Any Impressions You Receive. Intuitive Impressions Are Often Subtle And Therefore 'evaporate' Very Quickly, So Make Sure To Capture Them In Writing As Soon As Possible. Recent Research In Neuroscience Indicates That An Intuitive Insight - Or Any New Idea - Not Captured Within 37 Seconds Is Likely Never To Be Recalled Again. In 7 Minutes, It's Gone Forever.

You Either Create Or Allow Everything That Happens To You.

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.

I Consider Myself To Be An Inverse Paranoid. I Always Operate As If Everything Is Part Of A Universal Plot To Enhance My Well-being.

Remember, You And You Alone Are Responsible For Maintaining Your Energy. Give Up Blaming, Complaining And Excuse Making, And Keep Taking Action In The Direction Of Your Goals - However Mundane Or Lofty They May Be.

Some People Fold After Making One Timid Request. They Quit Too Soon. Keep Asking Until You Find The Answers. In Sales There Are Usually Four Or Five "no's" Before You Get A "yes."

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. You-no One Else! To Achieve Major Success In Life-to Achieve Those Things That Are Most Important To You-you Must Assume 100% Responsibility For Your Life. Nothing Less Will Do.

Trust Your Gut Feeling About Things, Listen To What Others Are Saying, And Look At The Results Of Your Actions. Once You Know The Truth, You Can Set About Taking Action To Improve. Everyone Will Be Better For It.

Her Essay About The Wedding Ring Was Short. Kerr Wrote: "things Are Just Things - They Have No Power To Hurt Or To Heal. Only People Can Do That. And We Can All Choose Whether To Be Hurt Or Healed By The People Who Love Us." That Was All. And That Was Everything.

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.

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.

Think Of Fear As A 2-year-old Child Who Doesn't Want To Go Grocery Shopping With You. Because You Must Buy Groceries, You'll Just Have To Take The Two Year Old With You. Fear Is No Different. In Other Words, Acknowledge That Fear Exists But Don't Let It Keep You From Doing Important Tasks.

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.

Most Of Life Is On-the-job Training. Some Of The Most Important Things Can Only Be Learned In The Process Of Doing Them. You Do Something And You Get Feedback - About What Works And What Doesn't. 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.

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

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 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.

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.

If You Get Clear On The What, The How Will Be Taken Care Of.

Most Everything That You Want Is Just Outside Your Comfort Zone.

There Are Essentially Two Things That Will Make You Wise -- The Books You Read And The People You Meet.

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.

There Is Only One Person Responsible For The Quality Of Life You Live And That Person Is You.

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.

There Are Only Two Words That Will Always Lead You To Success. Those Words Are Yes And No. Undoubtedly, You've Mastered Saying Yes. So Start Practicing Saying No. Your Goals Depend On It!

It's Surprising How Many People Get Bogged Down In Analysing, Planning, And Organizing When What They Really Need To Do Is Take Action.

There Is No Right Reaction. There Is Only Your Reaction.

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.

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

High Self-esteem Isn't A Luxury. It's A Necessity For Anyone Who Has Important Goals To Achieve.

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.

Persistence Is Probably The Single Most Common Quality Of High Achievers. They Simply Refuse To Give Up. They Longer You Hang In There, The Greater The Chance That Something Will Happen In Your Favor. No Matter How Hard It Seems, The Longer You Persist The More Likely Your Success.

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.

Success Isn't Magic Or Hocus-pocus - It's Simply Learning How To Focus.

There's So Much Information On The Internet. But People Don't Need More Information, They Need 'aha Moments,' They Need Awareness, They Need Things That Actually Shift And Change Them.

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.

Your Habits Will Determine Your Future.

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?'

It Is Only By Acknowledging That You Have Created Everything Up Until Now That You Can Take Charge Of Creating The Future You Want.

Creating The Future

If You Can Tune Into Your Purpose And Really Align With It, Setting Goals So That Your Vision Is An Expression Of That Purpose, Then Life Flows Much More Easily.

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.

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.

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.

One Of The Things That May Get In The Way Of People ... Is That They're Not In Touch With Their Passion. If You're Passionate About What It Is You Do, Then You're Going To Be Looking For Everything You Can To Get Better At It.

Everything Is Energy. All Matter Is Energy. Energy Cannot Be Created Or Destroyed. It Is The Cause And Affect Of Itself. It Is Evenly Present In All Places, At All Times. Energy Is In Constant Motion And Never Rests. It Is Forever Moving From One Form To Another. Energy Follows Thought.

It Is Those Very Things That We Are Most Afraid To Do That Provide The Greatest Liberation And Growth For Us.

One Of The Things I Tell People In My Seminars Is To Hang Out With Positive, Nurturing People. You Become Like Who You Hang Out With.

To Attract More Money, You Must Be Attractive, In The Sense That People Will Want And Prefer Your Products Or Service Over Those Of Your Competitior.

Switching From One Career To Another Can Be Scary, But It Also Can Be A Thrilling Experience. Look At It As An Opportunity To Really Go After What You Want To Accomplish In Life And Make A Difference In The World. The Key Is To Take Small, Conscious Steps And Prepare Yourself For A Successful Transition.

Research Has Shown Over And Over Again That The More You Acknowledge Your Past Successes, The More Confident You Become In Taking On And Successfully Accomplishing New Ones.

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

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

Making Mistakes

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

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.

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

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.'

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.

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.

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!

I Believe If Everyone Fulfilled Their Deepest Life Purpose, The World Would Work Perfectly.

The Formula Is Simple - Do More Of What Is Working, Do Less Of What Isn't, And Try On New Behaviors To See If They Produce Better Results.

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

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

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.

If You Want To Be Really Successful, And I Know You Do, Then You Will Have To Give Up Blaming And Complaining And Take Total Responsibility For Your Life -- That Means All Your Results, Both Your Successes And Your Failures. That Is The Prerequisite For Creating A Life Of Success.

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?'

I Don't Blame Or Complain About Things Like The Economy, The Government, Taxes, Employees, Gas Prices, Or Any Of The External Things That I Don't Have Control Over. The Only Thing I Have Control Over Is My Response To These Things.

You Don't Have To Get It Perfect, You Just Have To Get It Going. Babies Don't Walk The First Time They Try, But Eventually They Get It Right

If You Hang In There Long Enough, You Will Eventually Reach Your Goal.

It Was Thinking Negative Thoughts Or Thinking Positive Thoughts, Leaving The House Prepared Or Leaving The House Unprepared That Made The Difference.

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.
