It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.
Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life's deepest joy: true fulfillment.
It's not the events of our lives that shape us, but our beliefs as to what those events mean.
Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.
Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.
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.
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.
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.
Identify your problems but give your power and energy to solutions
If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten.
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.
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.
Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.
If you don't set a baseline standard for what you'll accept in life, you'll find it's easy to slip into behaviours and attitudes or a quality of life that's far below what you deserve.
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.
The path to success is to take massive, determined action.
If you talk about it, it's a dream, if you envision it, it's possible, but if you schedule it, it's real.
It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives. It's what we do consistently.
The past does not equal the future.
People are not lazy. They simply have impotent goals - that is, goals that do not inspire them.
It is your decisions, and not your conditions, that determine your destiny.
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.
The only way a relationship will last is if you see it as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take.
Personal power is the ability to take action.
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 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.
