Where Focus Goes, Energy Flows. And Where Energy Flows, Whatever You're Focusing On Grows. In Other Words, Your Life Is Controlled By What You Focus On. That's Why You Need To Focus On Where You Want To Go, Not On What You Fear. When You Next Find Yourself In A State Of Uncertainty, Resist Your Fear. Shift Your Focus Toward Where You Want To Go And Your Actions Will Take You In That Direction.

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.

The First Thing These People Have Who Succeed, Who Are Fulfilled, Is That They’ve Decided What The Purpose Of The Game Is, At Least For Right Now.

Determination Is The Wake-up Call To The Human Will.

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.

If You Tell Yourself A Lie Long Enough, You'll Start To Believe It.

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 Secret To A Fulfilled Life Is Not Only To Do Well But Also To Do Good.

We Can Change Our Lives. We Can Do, Have, And Be Exactly What We Wish.

If You Don't Master Money, It's Going To Master You.

You Must Find A More Empowering Source Of Comfort, Connection, And Control Than Food. Perhaps A Creative Outlet, Helping Others, Becoming Active In An Organization, Whatever.

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.

People Who Succeed Have Momentum. The More They Succeed, The More They Want To Succeed, And The More They Find A Way To Succeed. Similarly, When Someone Is Failing, The Tendency Is To Get On A Downward Spiral That Can Even Become A Self-fulfilling Prophecy.

It's Not About Getting What You Want. It's About Experiencing What You Really Need By Becoming More.

Getting What You Want

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

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

I Will Tell You One Other Thing About Money: When You Don't Have It, It Sure As Hell Affects The Quality Of People's Health, And Their Relationships. And Paper Money Isn't Even Real Today, Right? It's All Really Ones And Zeros In Computers Today. But At The Same Time, If You Don't Have It, It Certainly Affects The Quality Of Your Life.

The Minute You Start Keeping Score, You're Destroying The Relationship.

A Life Of Fulfillment Is One In Which We Put Urgency In Its Place And Remember That The Ultimate Target Is To Spend Our Lives Doing The Things We Believe Are Most Important To Us.

When People Ask Me What Really Changed My Life, I Tell Them That Absolutely The Most Important Thing Was Changing What I Demanded On Myself.

One Reason So Few Of Us Achieve What We Truly Want Is That We Never Direct Our Focus; We Never Concentrate Our Power. Most People Dabble Their Way Through Life, Never Deciding To Master Anything In Particular.

Your Number One Skill As A Leader Is The Ability To Influence

Beliefs Have The Power To Create And The Power To Destroy.

I Don't Mean To Sound Corny, But It's One Word: Results. If You Get Results, You Can Get Anyone.

What We Do In Life Is Determined By How We Communicate To Ourselves. In The Modern World, The Quality Of Life Is The Quality Of Communication.

Effective Leaders Know That Resources Are Never The Problem; It's Always A Matter Or Resourcefulness.

People Will Go Into A Relationship, If It's A Brand New Relationship, It's So Exciting Because It's Something Brand New, It's Variety, It's Different. And You're So Excited By The Feelings. And What Most People Try To Do Because They Don't Want To Lose That, They Try To Control It To Make It Certain. And If They Make It So Certain Then You Become Bored In The Relationship. It's A Delicate Balance.

New Relationship

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.

Don't Put Off Joy And Happiness. Strive To Live Each Day To Its Fullest, Squeezing All The Joy You Can Out Of Each Moment. Instead Of Measuring Your Life's Value By Your Progress Toward A Single Goal, Remember That The Direction You're Headed In Is More Important Than Temporary Results.

You See, In Life, Lots Of People Know What To Do, But Few People Actually Do What They Know. Knowing Is Not Enough! You Must Take Action.

Your Life Experience Will Never Far Exceed The Expectations Of Your Peers, Because To Stay Connected To Them There Is An Unconscious Contract That Says We're Going To Be Within This Range Of Each Other.

You Can’t Hit A Target If You Don’t Know What It Is.

Life's Greatest Rewards Are Reserved For Those Who Demonstrate A Never-ending Commitment To Act Until They Achieve.

Rewards In Life

Understand That All Emotions Serve You. Those You Once Thought Of As Negative Emotions Are Merely Calls To Action. For Example, If You Feel Frustrated It Means That You Believe Things Could Be Better, And They're Not. This Is A Call To Action Telling You There's Something You Must Do To Make This Better Now. This "negative" Emotion Is Actually A Gift If You Use It Effectively.

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.

Take Thoughts And Turn Them Into Actions, Turn Them Into Results, Turn Your Dreams Into Reality. That's Really The Science Of Achievement.

Success Leaves Clues, Proximity Is Power. Love Your Family, Choose Your Peers.

Problems Are Spiritual Lessons From God-spiritual Lessons To Be Learned.

Lessons To Be Learned

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

So If You Don't Like Your Life, Change It. How Would You Change It? You Decide. There's No Action Without First Decision. Decision Is The Mother Or The Father Of Action, And Action Is What Changes Your Life.

It's Not What We Do Once In A While That Counts, But Our Habitual Actions. What Ultimately Determines Who We Become And Where We Go In Life Are Our Decisions. These Decisions Shape Our Destiny.

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.

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.

I Made A Decision In That Moment Which Was To Alter My Life Forever. I Decided To Change Virtually Every Aspect Of My Life. I Decided I Would Never Again Settle For Less That I Can Be.

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?

Most People Never Feel Secure Because They Are Always Worried That They Will Lose Their Job, Lose The Money They Already Have, Lose Their Spouse, Lose Their Health, And So On. The Only True Security In Life Comes From Knowing That Every Single Day You Are Improving Yourself In Some Way, That You Are Increasing The Caliber Of Who You Are And That You Are Valuable To Your Company, Your Friends, And Your Family.

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

There Is A Force That Controls All Your Decisions. It Influences How You Think And Feel Every Moment You're Alive. It Determines What You Will Do And What You Will Not Do. It Determines How You Feel About Anything That Occurs In Your Life. That Force Is Your Beliefs.

You See, It's Never The Environment; It's Never The Events Of Our Lives, But The Meaning We Attach To The Events - How We Interpret Them - That Shapes Who We Are Today And Who We'll Become Tomorrow.

If You Become A Master Of Meaning, You Become A Master Of Your Life. Two People Can Have The Same Experience. One Person Decides That Because Of That Experience His Or Her Life Is Over, While The Other Decides That God Has Challenged Him Or Her To Step Up, Face The Challenge, And Become More Than He Or She Ever Was Before.

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

All Personal Breakthroughs Begin With A Change In Beliefs. So How Do We Change? The Most Effective Way Is To Get Your Brain To Associate Massive Pain To The Old Belief. You Must Feel Deep In Your Gut That Not Only Has This Belief Cost You Pain In The Past, But It's Costing You In The Present And, Ultimately, Can Only Bring You Pain In The Future. Then You Must Associate Tremendous Pleasure To The Idea Of Adopting A New, Empowering Belief.

Well, I'd Love To Make A Decision Like That, But I'm Not Sure How I Could Change My Life.

Changing My Life

When Your Spirit Is Alive, When Somebody Has Got A Strong Spirit, They Could Be On The Verge Of Death Physically, And They'll Leak Out More Life.

Don't Limit Your Challenges; Challenge Your Limits. Each Day We Must Strive For Constant And Never Ending Improvement.

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.

Solidly Know Content You Feel Passionate About And That Your Audience Needs To Know.

Your Biography Is Not Your Destiny, Your Decisions Are.

I Don't Have To Work Another Day Of My Life, Thank God, But I'm In A Place Where I Probably Work As Hard Or Harder Today Than I Ever Have, But I Do It Because I Want To, Not Because I Have To. What Is The Difference Between Work And Play? I Think The Difference Is Purpose. When Your Vocation Becomes Your Vacation, The Old Quote, You Know That's When You Made It.

All That You Really Want In Life Is To Change How You Feel.

Decisions Decide Destiny, There Is No Action Without Decision

Self Improvement

We Live In A Culture That Expects Instantaneous Gratification For Everything, And The Web Has Only Enhanced That In Many Ways. It Empowers In Many Ways, But It Also Makes People Believe 'i Should Have Everything Right Now.'

Deciding To Commit Yourself To Long Term Results Rather Than Short Term Fixes Is As Important As Any Decision You'll Make In Your Lifetime.

Whatever You Focus On You're Going To Feel.

Smile. It Creates Positive Physiological Change.

Live Life Fully While You're Here. Experience Everything. Take Care Of Yourself And Your Friends. Have Fun, Be Crazy, Be Weird.

Most Of Society Thinks That Biography Is Destiny, That The Past Equals The Future, And Of Course It Does If You Live There...but What We Really Have To Remind Ourselves Is That Decision Is The Ultimate Power.

The Power Of Reading A Great Book Is That You Start Thinking Like The Author. For Those Magical Moments While You Are Immersed In The Forests Of Arden, You Are William Shakespeare; While You Are Shipwrecked On Treasure Island, You Are Robert Louis Stevenson; While You Are Communing With Nature At Walden, You Are Henry David Thoreau. You Start To Think Like They Think, Feel Like They Feel, And Use Imagination As They Would. Their References Become Your Own, And You Carry These With You Long After You've Turned The Last Page.

All Personal Breakthroughs Being With A Change In Beliefs. So How Do We Change? The Most Effective Way Is To Get Your Brain To Associate Massive Pain To The Old Belief.

People Are My Greatest Resource.

There Is No Abiding Success Without Commitment.

The Most Successful People In The World Are People Who Were Rejected More Than Anybody Else.

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

Take The Opportunity To Learn From Your Mistakes: Find The Cause Of Your Problem And Eliminate It. Don't Try To Be Perfect; Just Be An Excellent Example Of Being Human.

Is Is In The Small Decisions You And I Make Every Day That Create Our Destiny.

To Measure Success With Material Things Is Failure!

Measure Of Success

Material Things

I Believe Therapy Can Be Done More Rapidly. I'm Into Your Finding The Source Of What's Making You Think And Feel The Way You Do And Shifting It Quickly.

Our Culture Teaches Us That Making Significant Changes Takes A Long Time And Is Difficult To Do. This Is Simply Not True. Change Happens In An Instant. It Is Not A Process - It Is Something You Do In An Instant By Simply Making A Decision.

Significant Change

If We Believe In Magic, We'll Live A Magical Life. If We Believe Our Life Is Defined By Narrow Limits, We've Suddenly Made Those Beliefs Real.

I Wrote Down All The Things I Would No Longer Accept In My Life, All The Things I Would No Longer Tolerate, And All The Things That I Aspired To Becoming.

Progress Is The Ultimate Motivation.

What Good Is Inspiration If It's Not Backed Up By Action?

Emotion Is Changed By Motion.

Do Something. Get Results. Decide If It's Worth Repeating.

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.

By Changing Nothing, Nothing Changes.

Successful People Spend 10% Of Their Time Focused On The Problems And 90% Of The Rest, Focused On The Solution.

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

The Difference Between Those Who Succeed And Those Who Fail Isn't What They Have'it's What They Choose To See And Do With Their Resources And Their Expertise Of Life.

Do Something Physical Every Day, Even If It's Just Five Or Ten Minutes Of Fast Walking A Couple Times A Day. That Tends To Replace Fear And Anger With Determination And Courage. It Can Change Your Identity, Your Momentum.

Who Will You Have To Become, To Achieve All You Want?

The Only Way A Relationship Will Last Is If You See It As A Place That You Go To Give, And Not A Place That You Go To Take.

Getting Back Together

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

Time Is One Of The Biggest Issues You'll See. People Just Do Not Know How To Maximize Their Time. The Way In Which You Execute And Utilize Time Is Everything. And Most People Push Up Against The Threshold Of Their Control.

Remember This: Anticipation Is The Ultimate Power. Losers React; Leaders Anticipate.

Billionaire Investors Know They're Going To Be Wrong, So They Have A Plan To Protect Against Wrong.

It's The Moments Of Our Life That Shape Us.

Break Through The Bonds Of Your Past.

People Are Rewarded In Public For What The Practice For Years In Private.

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

Emotion Is Created By Motion. Whatever You're Feeling Right Now Is Related To How You're Using Your Body.

If You Want A Fulfilled Life, Stop Thinking About Wealthy People And What They Have And You Don't. Stop Thinking From A Place Of Scarcity.

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

What People Can Do Is Very Different From What They Will Do.

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

The Scary Truth Is 96 Percent Of Mutual Funds Fail To Match The Market, And The 4 Percent That Do, They're Always Changing.

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.

The Only Reason We Really Pursue Goals Is To Cause Ourselves To Expand And Grow. Achieving Goals By Themselves Will Never Make Us Happy In The Long Term; It's Who You Become, As You Overcome The Obstacles Necessary To Achieve Your Goals, That Can Give You The Deepest And Most Long-lasting Sense Of Fulfillment.

If You've Got A Billion Dollars And You're Ungrateful, You're A Poor Man. If You Have Very Little But You're Grateful For What You Have, You're Truly Rich.

It's Natural To Sit Down But The Human Spirit Within Us Can Make Us Get Up.

Nothing In Life Has Any Meaning Except The Meaning You Give It.

Identify Your Problems But Give Your Power And Energy To Solutions

It's A Good Idea Not To Major In Minor Things.

I Think Spirituality Is A Part Of Everything. It Doesn't Need To Be Separated Out From Everything Else.

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

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.

Problems Are The Gifts That Make Us Dig Out And Figure Out Who We Are, What We're Made For, And What We're Responsible To Give Back To Life.

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

Quality Of Life

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

If You're Aware When It's Going On, You Can Deal With It And Change It. If You're Not Aware Of It, You'll Be Mystified At The States That Come And Go Seemingly Without Reason.

The Same Protection You Create For Yourself Becomes The Wall That Imprisons You.

Ultimately, No Man Or Woman Is Happy Unless They Have Found A Way To Contribute Beyond Themselves.

Without A Vision There Is No Possibility Of Creating Something Larger Than What Al-ready Exists. An Entrepreneur Has To Be Able To Bring Something To The Table Through His Or Her Vision That Is Not Being Provided By Others - A Special Way Of Meeting Needs, Caring For Others, Treating Patients, Or Marketing. An Entrepreneur Must Have Enormous Faith. Risk-taking Is Critical To The Development Of An Enterprise. You Will Not Take Risks Unless You Have The Faith To Do So.

No One Ever Achieved A Goal By Being Interested In Its Achievement. One Must Be Committed.

Self-awareness Is One Of The Rarest Of Human Commodities. I Don't Mean Self-consciousn Ess Where You're Limiting And Evaluating Yourself. I Mean Being Aware Of Your Own Patterns.

If You Do Extreme Exercise To Lose Weight, You'll Usually Soon Stop Because You Get Injured Or Because It's Simply Too Rigorous To Do For A Lifetime.

Regarding The Psychological, Your Goal Must Not Be "i Need To Lose X Pounds" But "i'm Going To Regain My Identity," Whether As An Athlete, A Conservative, A Sexual Being, A Together Person, Whatever.

I Don't Worry About Maintaining The Quality Of My Life, Because Every Day I Work On Improving It.

The Person With The Most Certainty In A Given Situation Will Influence The Other.

Stay Committed To Your Decisions, But Stay Flexible In Your Approach.

If There's No Action, You Haven't Truly Decided.

Decisions You Make

Focus On Execution Rather Than Just The Idea.

Decision Is The Ultimate Power. Decisions Shape Destiny.

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

Don't Try To Be Perfect; Just Be An Excellent Example Of Being Human.

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.
