Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.
It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.
It's not the events of our lives that shape us, but our beliefs as to what those events mean.
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.
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.
The only thing keeping you from what you want is your story about why you can't have it.
The only reason we don’t have what we want in life is the reasons we create why we can’t have them.
Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.
The only limit to your impact is your imagination and commitment.
Nothing has any power over me other than that which I give it through my conscious thoughts.
Whatever happens, take responsibility.
No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn't trying.
If you want to succeed in your life, remember this phrase: That past does not equal the future. Because you failed yesterday; or all day today; or a moment ago; or for the last six months; the last sixteen years; or the last fifty years of life, doesn't mean anything... All that matters is: What are you going to do, right now?
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.
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.
If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten.
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.
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.
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.
There's always a way - if you're committed.
Life is found in the dance between your deepest desire and your greatest fear.
Every problem is a gift - without problems we would not grow.
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.
If you are truly flexible and go until... there is really very little you can't accomplish in your lifetime.
It is your decisions, and not your conditions, that determine your destiny.
