Lacking an external focus, the mind turns inward on itself and creates problems to solve, even if the problems are undefined or unimportant. If you find a focus, an ambitious goal that seems impossible and forces you to grow, these doubts disappear.
Focus on where you want to go, not on what you fear.
Where focus goes, energy flows. And if you don’t take the time to focus on what matters, then you’re living a life of someone else’s design.
All personal breakthroughs begin with a change in beliefs.
Whatever you focus on is what you get.
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.

Just be honest with yourself. That opens the door.
Everybody’s got a different circle of competence. The important thing is not how big the circle is. The important thing is staying inside the circle.
Focus alone is not enough; putting in the time to commit is also crucial to achieve success.
Real contentment must come from within. You and I cannot change or control the world around us, but we can change and control the world within us.
If you believe it will work out, you’ll see opportunities. If you believe it won’t you will see obstacles.
You want something? Go get it.
Don’t chase people. Be yourself, do your own thing and work hard.
Be here. Be present. Wherever you are, be there.
Before you judge people, judge yourself.
Success is not measured by what you do compared to what somebody else does. Success is measured by what you do compared to what you are capable of doing.
When you focus on problems, you get more problems. When you focus on possibilities, you have more opportunities.
You can’t climb uphill by thinking downhill thoughts.
I am too busy for insecurities; it’s just a distraction. If I have any, I have ignored them for so long they have gone away.
