Decisions are the doorway to change.
All personal breakthroughs begin with a change in beliefs.
Most people’s lives are a direct reflection of their peer groups.
Your current conditions do not reflect your ultimate potential, but rather the size and quality of goals upon which you currently are focusing.
My personal belief is that the only thing keeping you from freedom is all the beliefs you have about what has to happen before you can be there.
Making a true decision means committing to achieving a result, and then cutting yourself off from any other possibility.
If you want to look for obstacles, what’s wrong is always available. But so is what’s right!
Much more devastating than frustration is the emotion of disappointment.
If you want to cure boredom, be curious. If you’re curious, nothing is a chore; it’s automatic – you want to study. Cultivate curiosity, and life becomes an unending study of joy.
Think of your mind, your emotions, and your spirit as the ultimate garden. The way to ensure a bountiful, nourishing harvest is to plant seeds like love, warmth, and appreciation, instead of seeds like disappointment, anger, and fear.
Frustration is a very positive sign. It means that the solution to your problem is within range, but what you’re currently doing isn’t working, and you need to change your approach in order to achieve your goal.
The quickest, simplest, and most powerful way I know to handle any emotion is to remember a time when you felt a similar emotion and realize that you’ve successfully handled this emotion before.
People with an impoverished vocabulary live an impoverished emotional life; people with rich vocabularies have a multihued palette of colors with which to paint their experience, not only for others, but for themselves as well.
Quality questions create a quality life.
Until you get dissatisfied, you won’t do anything to really move your life to another level. Dissatisfaction is a gem. If you’re totally satisfied, you’re going to get comfortable. And then your life begins to deteriorate.
Your current situation is no indication of your ultimate potential!
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 with the old belief.
I think spirituality is a part of everything. It doesn’t need to be separated out from everything else.
Learn to convert the discomfort of discipline into the satisfaction of personal growth.
The road to success is always under construction. It is a progressive course, not an end to be reached.
