| A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided. |

| All personal breakthroughs begin with a change in beliefs. |
| 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. 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. |
| Any time you sincerely want to make a change, the first thing you must do is to raise your standards. When people ask me what really changed my life eight years ago, I tell them that absolutely the most important thin was changing what I demanded of myself. 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. |
| Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy. Human beings have the awesome ability to take any experience of their lives and create a meaning that disempowers them or one that can literally save their lives. |
| Commit to CANI! - Constant And Never-ending Improvement |
| Commit to CANI! -- Constant And Never-ending Improvement |

| Determination is the wake-up call to the human will |
| Do what you fear, and the death of fear is certain |
| Everything happens for a reason and a purpose, and it serves you. |
| Goals are a means to an end, not the ultimate purpose of our lives. They are simply a tool to concentrate our focus and move us in a direction. 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. |
| How am I going to live today in order to create the tomorrow I'm committed to? |
| I believe life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment, and life's greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate a never-ending commitment to act until they achieve. This level of resolve can move mountains, but it must be constant and consistent. As simplistic as this may sound, it is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret. |
| I challenge you to make your life a masterpiece. I challenge you to join the ranks of those people who live what they teach, who walk their talk. |
| I discovered a long time ago that if I helped people get what they wanted, I would always get what I wanted and I would never have to worry. |
| I've come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying The Foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy. |
| I've continued to recognize the power individuals have to change virtually anything and everything in their lives in an instant. I've learned that the resources we need to turn our dreams into reality are within us, merely waiting for the day when we decide to wake up and claim our birthright. |
| If we don't see a failure as a challenge to modify our approach, but rather as a problem with ourselves, as a personality defect, we will immediately feel overwhelmed. |
| If you don't set a baseline standard for what you'll accept in life, you'll find it's easy to slip into behaviors and attitudes or a quality of life that's far below what you deserve. |
| If you want to be successful, find someone who has achieved the results you want and copy what they do and you'll achieve the same results. |
| If you want to be successful, find someone who has achieved the results you want and copy what they do and you'll achieve the same results. |
| In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently. |
| In life you need either inspiration or desperation. |
| It doesn't pull away any wax that it says it's supposed to. |
| It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped |
| It is not what we get. But who we become, what we contribute... that gives meaning to our lives. |
| It is not what we get. But who we become, what we contribute...that gives meaning to our lives. |
| It not knowing what to do, it's doing what you know. |
| It's a good idea not to major in minor things. |
| It's not the events of our lives that shape us, but our beliefs as to what those events mean. |
| It's not what's happening to you now or what has happened in your past that determines who you become. Rather, it's your decisions about what to focus on, what things mean to you, and what you're going to do about them that will determine your ultimate destiny. |
| It's your unlimited power to care and to love that can make the biggest difference in the quality of your life. |
| Let fear be a counselor and not a jailer |
| Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more |
| Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You're going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. 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. |
| Live with passion! |
| 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. |
| Most people fail in life because they major in minor things. |
| 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. |
| My definition of success is to live your life in a way that causes you to feel a ton of pleasure and very little pain - and because of your lifestyle, have the people around you feel a lot more pleasure than they do pain. |
| Nothing has any power over me other than that which I give it through my conscious thoughts. |
| 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. |
| Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life's deepest joy: true fulfillment. |
| Passion is the genesis of genius. |
| People are not lazy. They simply have impotent goals / that is, goals that do not inspire them. |
| Personal power is the ability to take action. |
| Put yourself in a state of mind where you say to yourself, |
| Put yourself in a state of mind where you say to yourself, "Here is an opportunity for you to celebrate like never before, my own power, my own ability to get myself to do whatever is necessary. |
| Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible. |
| Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something: they're trying to find someone who's going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take. |
| Success comes from taking the initiative and following up... persisting... eloquently expressing the depth of your love. What simple action could you take today to produce a new momentum toward success in your life? |
| Success is doing what you want to do, when you want, where you want, with whom you want, as much as you want. |
| Take control of your consistent emotions and begin to consciously and deliberately reshape your daily experience of life. |
| The greatest of all gifts is the power to estimate things at their true worth. |
| The higher your energy level, the more efficient your body The more efficient your body, the better you feel and the more you will use your talent to produce outstanding results. |
| The meeting of preparation with opportunity generates the offspring we call luck |
| The most important thing you can do to achieve your goals is to make sure that as soon as you set them, you immediately begin to create momentum. The most important rules that I ever adopted to help me in achieving my goals were those I learned from a very successful man who taught me to first write down the goal, and then to never leave the site of setting a goal without firs taking some form of positive action toward its attainment. |
| The only limit to your impact is your imagination and commitment. |
| The only people without problems are those in cemeteries |
| The past does not equal the future. |
| The past doesn't equal the future. |
| The path to success is to take massive, determined action. |
| The quality of your life is the quality of your relationships. |
| The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you do that, you're in control of your life. If you don't, life controls you. |
| The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you do that, you're in control of your life. If you don't, life controls you. |
| The truth is that we can learn to condition our minds, bodies, and emotions to link pain or pleasure to whatever we choose. By changing what we link pain and pleasure to, we will instantly change our behaviors. |
| The truth of the matter is that there's nothing you can't accomplish if: (1) You clearly decide what it is that you're absolutely committed to achieving, (2) You're willing to take massive action, (3) You notice what's working or not, and (4) You continue to change your approach until you achieve what you want, using whatever life gives you along the way. |
| The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives |
| There is always a way-if you're committed. |
| There is no greatness without a passion to be great, whether it's the aspiration of an athlete or an artist, a scientist, a parent, or a businessperson. |
| There is no such thing as failure. There are only results. |
| There's no abiding success without commitment. |
| Things do not have meaning. We assign meaning to everything. |
| To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others. |
| Using the power of decision gives you the capacity to get past any excuse to change any and every part of your life in an instant. |
| Want to learn to eat a lot? Here it is: Eat a little. That way, you will be around long enough to eat a lot. |
| We aren't in an information age, we are in an entertainment age. |
| We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish. |
| We will act consistently with our view of who we truly are, whether that view is accurate or not. |
| What we can or cannot do, what we consider possible or impossible, is rarely a function of our true capability. It is more likely a function of our beliefs about who we are. |
| Whatever happens, take responsibility. |
| When you are grateful fear disappears and abundance appears |
| When you temporarily run aground, remember that there are no failures in life. There are only results. Consider the adage: Success is the result of good judgment, good judgment is the result of experience, and experience is often the result of bad judgment! |
| You always succeed in producing a result. |
| 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. |
| You must know that in any moment a decision you make can change the course of your life forever: the very next person stand behind in line or sit next to on an airplane, the very next phone call you make or receive, the very next movie you see or book you read or page you turn could be the one single thing that causes the floodgates to open, and all of the things that you've been waiting for to fall into place. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| You're in the midst of a war: a battle between the limits of a crowd seeking the surrender of your dreams, and the power of your true vision to create and contribute. It is a fight between those who will tell you what you cannot do, and that part of you that knows / and has always known / that we are more than our environment; and that a dream, backed by an unrelenting will to attain it, is truly a reality with an imminent arrival. |
| Your life changes the moment you make a new, congruent, and committed decision. |
