If your guard is up, let it down. If you’ve constructed a defensive wall to protect yourself and keep all the bad guys out, don’t forget who that wall also prevents from getting in – the good guys.
The ultimate secret to growth is finding something worth fighting for.
As soon as you seek to inspire others, it inspires the best in you.
When you knock on the door of opportunity, do not be surprised that it is Work who will answer.
It’s that engagement of learning that makes us feel alive.
To me, meditation is simply silencing or focusing the mind.
I’m not interested in your limiting beliefs, I’m interested in what makes you limitless.
At the end of our lives, we all ask, ‘Did I live? Did I love? Did I matter?’
Beginning today, set an intention and a relentless focus on living your life as the greatest person you can be, in all situations. Demand that you demonstrate a strength of character in such a way that you find pride in who you are, and that others see you as a role model.
You have a clean slate every day you wake up. You have a chance every single morning to make that change and be the person you want to be. You just have to decide to do it. Decide today’s the day. Say it: this is going to be my day.
I have to laugh when I receive newsletters from major personalities and when you hit reply, you get a ‘do-not-reply’ address. It’s ridiculous! Don’t you want your customers to reply to you?
It’s not about how much work you’re doing. It’s about what work you’re doing and how you’re doing the work.
If you create incredible value and information for others that can change their lives – and you always stay focused on that service – the financial success will follow.
Meditation is a lifelong process. Give it a try. As you get deeper and more disciplined into the process, you’ll get deeper and more disciplined in your mind and life.
If you look at high performers they are always the most passionate – in any industry.
A high performer is someone who says, ‘I want to be the best at what I’m doing.’
My best mentor is a mechanic – and he never left the sixth grade. By any competency measure, he doesn’t have it. But the perspective he brings to me and my life is, bar none, the most helpful.
People are remarkably bad at remembering long lists of goals. I learned this at a professional level when trying to get my high-performance coaching clients to stay on track; the longer their lists of to-dos and goals, the more overwhelmed and off-track they got. Clarity comes with simplicity.
The top experts in the world are ardent students. The day you stop learning, you’re definitely not an expert.
Grant me the stormy seas over a life of ease, the toil and madness of a life of effort, and adventure, and meaning. The safe harbor is not for me, not for long. Let the fearful stand at the shore and point as we head into the unknown, toward that vast horizon where the bold become legend.
