Stephen Covey was a man whose ‘work was love made visible.’ He touched millions of people by the strength of his integrity and the depth of his caring. He was a personal friend, an extraordinary father, and a model for what human beings are truly capable of. Please join us in sending love and prayers to his family.

214. The difference between those who succeed and those who fail isn’t what they have’it’s what they choose to see and do with their resources and their expertise of life.

215. There are a lot of talkers in the world. There are a lot of people who know what’s right and what’s powerful, yet still aren’t producing the results they desire. It’s not enough to talk the talk. You’ve got to walk the talk.

216. People with an impoverished vocabulary live an impoverished emotional life; people with rich vocabularies have a multihued palette of colors with which to paint their experience, not only for others, but for themselves as well.

217. There are millions of business ideas out there but only a tiny percentage of businesses succeed.

218. No matter if the path is tough, and your nights are long,So long as your cause is noble and your mind is strong.

219. It is in the realm of uncertainty, that your passion is found.

220. Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy.

221. Inside of all of us we have these patterns where we eventually become at least ethnocentric. We care about our group, our mom, our dad, our family, our religion. And some people, eventually, evolve beyond that until they’re more human-centric or even spirit-centric where they care about everything.

222. I began to realize that thinking itself is nothing but the process of asking and answering questions.

223. You can’t sit at the table of success for too long or you’ll feel bored and dead.

224. Any time you sincerely want to make a change, the first thing you must do is to raise your standards.

225. Lasting fulfillment is attained only through gaining insight into the core of our human nature, unleashing the power to understand, appreciate, and enjoy our lives at the deepest level.

226. The difference between success and failure is not which stock you buy or which piece of real estate you buy, it’s asset allocation.

227. The quality of your life is dependent upon the quality of the life of your cells. If the bloodstream is filled with waste products, the resulting environment does not promote a strong, vibrant, healthy cell life-nor a biochemistry capable of creating a balanced emotional life for an individual.

228. Your current situation is no indication of your ultimate potential!

229. We can all reduce our life to a description that makes people feel sorry for ourselves or we can expand our life to a dimension where we connect and give to others.

230. People think I’m into positive thinking. I’m not a positive thinking guy. I’m into the truth. I’m a hunter of human excellence.

231. You continue to change your approach until you achieve what you want using whatever life gives you along the way.

232. We feel most small, we feel most challenged when we’re only focusing on ourselves. Because even when you fulfill yourself, meaning you get what you think you want, you still find yourself in a position where it’s never enough.

233. My favorite prayer is thank you. Most people are asking for things and not doing their part.

234. The birth of excellence begins with our awareness that our beliefs are a choice. We usually don’t think of it that way, but belief can be a conscious choice. You can choose beliefs that limit you, or you can choose beliefs that support you. The trick is to choose the beliefs that are conducive to success and the results you want and to discard the ones that hold you back.

235. Your capability is constant, but how much of it you use depends upon the identity you have for yourself.

236. The people who shape our lives and our cultures have the ability to communicate a vision or a quest or a joy or a mission.

237. You want to be a hero? Learn to create certainty in the face of fear.

238. Don’t even wait until you’ve lost a pound. The minute you can push the plate away with food still on it, give yourself a pat on the back.

239. So if you don’t like your life, change it. How would you change it? You decide. There’s no action without first decision. Decision is the mother or the father of action, and action is what changes your life.

240. Initiating and going through a divorce with four kids can be a brutal experience, but also a tempering one. It gave me perspective and insight to be able to find the love of my life.

241. Life is the dance between what you desire most, and what you fear most.

242. Most of us make unconscious choices in the words that we use; we sleep-walk through the maze of possibilities available to us.

243. We look at what we do to determine who we are.

244. Most fears in life rarely come to fruition.

245. When people ‘succeed’ they tend to party, when they ‘fail’ they tend to ponder.

246. Take the time to understand your audience’s concerns.

247. Belief in limits creates limited people.

248. The quality of your life is directly related to how much uncertainty you can comfortably handle.

249. In life, never spend more than 10 percent of your time on the problem, and spend at least 90 percent of your time on the solution.

250. The best way to deal with procrastination is to postpone it.

251. Frustration is a very positive sign. It means that the solution to your problem is within range, but what you’re currently doing isn’t working, and you need to change your approach in order to achieve your goal.

252. Whenever people have trouble public speaking, it’s because they are just thinking about themselves.

253. What you consistently speak with emotional intensity, you will experience, you will create, and you will become. The words that you speak with emotional conviction become the life you live – this is your heaven or this is your hell.

254. Don’t follow those who talk, follow those who do.

255. 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.

256. Expect change. Analyze the landscape. Take the opportunities. Stop being the chess piece; become the player. It’s your move.

257. Having a powerful enough WHY will provide you with the necessary HOW.

258. You can’t succeed by being good. That’s what you get paid for. You can’t succeed by being excellent. That’s what you’re expected to do. You can only succeed by being outstanding.

259. The only person who is truly holding you back is you. No more excuses. It’s time to change. It’s time to live life at a new level.

260. The more you understand what somebody wants, needs, and fears, the more you can figure out how to add value.

261. 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.

262. As simplistic as this may sound, commitment is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret.

263. Any Idiot can point out a problem …. A leader is willing to do something about it! Leaders solve problems!

264. It not knowing what to do, it’s doing what you know.

265. Take thoughts and turn them into actions, turn them into results, turn your dreams into reality. That’s really the science of achievement.

266. Do something. Get results. Decide if it’s worth repeating.

267. Without a vision there is no possibility of creating something larger than what al-ready exists. An entrepreneur has to be able to bring something to the table through his or her vision that is not being provided by others – a special way of meeting needs, caring for others, treating patients, or marketing. An entrepreneur must have enormous faith. Risk-taking is critical to the development of an enterprise. You will not take risks unless you have the faith to do so.

268. It’s not what we do once in a while that counts, but our habitual actions. What ultimately determines who we become and where we go in life are our decisions. These decisions shape our destiny.

269. How am I going to live today in order to create the tomorrow I’m committed to?

270. Every decision in your life is controlled by your beliefs and values. You may not realize it, but you have the power to choose what you believe about your life, people, money and health. You can either choose beliefs that limit you, or beliefs that empower you to move toward success. Your beliefs energize you to create the world you want to live in right now. The key is to be aware of them because what you value determines what you focus on.

271. Life is found in the dance between your deepest desire and your greatest fear.

272. People who focus on what they can’t control are usually depressed, frustrated, angry, overwhelmed and lost. Sure, there’s no way to look at the world and say it’s fair, even or just.

273. If I can’t – then I must. If I must – then I will.

274. Feed and strengthen your body. Fear is physical. When you lift weights or go for a sprint, that energy flows back into your body and restores you to certainty.

275. Focus on execution rather than just the idea.

276. If you question anything enough, you’ll begin to doubt it.

277. Each time you indulge in the emotion of anger or the behavior of yelling at a loved one, you reinforce the neural connection and increase the likelihood that you’ll do it again.

278. I discovered a long time ago that if I helped people get what they wanted, I would always get what I wanted and would never have to worry.

279. Most everybody thinks that if I want to get big rewards I need to take huge risks. But if you keep thinking that, you’re gonna be broke.

280. 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.

281. Innovation is an ongoing process that you build into your culture.

282. What kind of person will I have to become in order to achieve all that I want?

283. The difference between those who fail to achieve their goals in life and those who succeed is the difference between those who cannot put themselves in a supportive state and those who can consistently put themselves in a state that supports them in their achievements.

284. I still love coming home, but home is where the heart is. I take those whom I love most with me. That’s my number one. My number two is being ready.

285. There is no abiding success without commitment.

286. Problems are God’s resistance to create spiritual muscles.

287. One belief that I’ve developed to carry me through extremely tough times is simply this: God’s delays are not God’s denials.

288. Being a leader is living life on your terms not getting followers.

289. If we can (generate) the right emotion inside of us, we can get ourselves to do anything. If you don’t have the money, but you’re creative and determined enough, you’ll find the way.

290. Often people talk about how they feel ‘stuck’ in a situation. You’re never stuck! You may be a little frustrated, you may not have clear answers, but you’re not stuck. The minute you represent the situation to yourself as being stuck, though, that’s exactly how you’ll feel. We must be very careful about the metaphors we allow ourselves to use.

291. I think you got to put your intimate relationship first. If you can keep your woman first and still love your children, you are going to create the healthiest environment.

292. The words that we attach to our experience become our experience.

293. Raise your standards for the one thing over which you have complete control–yourse lf. It means you’re committed to being intelligent, flexible, and creative enough to consistently find a way to look at your life in a fashion that makes any experience enriching.

294. Explore your web: the needs, the beliefs, and the emotions that are controlling you so there’s more of you to give and so you can appreciate what’s driving other people. It’s the only way our world’s going to change.

295. You’re already a financial trader. You might not think of it in just this way, but if you work for a living, you’re trading your time for money. Frankly, it’s just about the worst trade you can make. Why? You can always get more money, but you can’t get more time.

296. “Lead a life of your own design, on your own terms
-not one that others, or the environment have
scripted for you.”

297. You’ve got to bring the emotion, and you have to understand that you can’t touch other people if you’re not touched. You can’t move other people if you’re not moved. So if you’re just giving some frickin talk you’ve memorized over and over again, you’re going to have a flat affect. If you’ve just got a bunch of visuals on the screen that are leading your talk, hang up your shoes and get the hell out of there.

298. The best way to get trained is to get mentored – live or by reading or watching videos by masters. That way, you start executing based on lessons from the best.

299. Decision is the ultimate power. Decisions shape destiny.

300. When two people meet, as long as there is any form of rapport maintained, the person with the most certainty will eventually influence ther other person.

301. We all have our own story. And we stay attached to our story. This can stop us from growing and living. You wanna make your life better? Change your story, change your life.

302. I hated motivators – never been a motivator. Motivation is like a warm bath, and you should take a bath probably, but you need more than that; you need strategy. I was a strategist, but nobody responded to that, so I was, like, “OK, what am I? I’m a coach. I’m not a guru.” As an athlete, I had great coaches, and I was a better athlete than many of them, but they still were better than I was as a coach because they could see when I couldn’t see. I thought, that’s great, because I’m not better than anybody, but I do have the skills that I can help people.

303. I always tell people happiness comes in one word: progress. I don’t care what you achieve.

304. Unless you feed your mind, those suffering states will take over.

305. Have you ever said, ‘I can’t do that! I’m just not like that!’? If you’ve ever used this phrase, you’ve hit the boundary of how you’ve defined yourself in the past, and it’s affecting the quality of your present-day life. Ask yourself, ‘Where did these beliefs about who I am come from, and how old are they?’ Maybe it’s time to update your identity.

306. You don’t lack resources. You lack resourcefulness .

307. Passion is the genius of genius.

308. There are so many groups making so much money in the medical care system that any major reorganization is going to make someone unhappy or anxious at the least, … I don’t know how you do it.

309. What I really like is changing a life, helping someone change a business, change a family. In the beginning, it was because I was willing to only be paid for a result. I wasn’t a therapist; there were no such thing as coaches back then. You had to be a therapist and it had to be paid for by somebody, and I saw what therapists did and I was honestly disturbed by it, because I see people in therapy for five years and I was, like, “This is absurd.”

310. When you go on an extreme diet, your body’s self-preservation mechanism responds by burning calories as slowly as possible. Of course, that makes it much more difficult to lose weight.

311. If you talk about it, it’s a dream, if you envision it, it’s possible, but if you schedule it, it’s real.

312. Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.

313. Deciding to commit yourself to long term results rather than short term fixes is as important as any decision you’ll make in your lifetime.

314. The most successful people in the world are people who were rejected more than anybody else.

315. There is a powerful driving force inside every human being that once unleashed can make any vision, dream, or desire a reality.

316. We will act consistently with our view of who we truly are, whether that view is accurate or not.

317. It’s not the events of our lives that shape us, but our beliefs as to what those events mean.

318. Don’t labor forever over the question of how or if you can do it. Studies have shown that the most successful people make decisions rapidly because they are clear on their values and what they really want for their lives.

319. If you want to change your life you have to raise your standards.

320. Be the person you wish to become – today. Talk like them, walk like them, breathe like them! Be them NOW!

321. Why live an ordinary life, when you can live an extraordinary one.

322. Disappointment can drive us, or it can defeat us.

323. Begin to live as though your prayers are already answered.

324. Anything can be achieved with a strong enough why!

325. Love is not a business. It’s not a transaction. It’s not an exchange or something you get for doing something it’s not a trade. It’s a gift!

326. Everybody’s got a past. The past does not equal the future unless you live there.

327. How do you turn the invisible into the visible? The first step is to define your dream precisely; the only limit to what you can achieve is the extent of your ability to define with precision that which you desire.

328. Basically, you can live your life in one of two ways. You can let your brain run you the way it has in the past. You can let it flash any picture or sound or feeling, and you can respond automatically on cue, like a Pavlovian dog resp‎onding to a bell. Or you can choose to consciously run your brain yourself. You can implant the cues you want. You can take bad experiences and sap them of their strength and power. You can represent them to yourself in a way that no longer overpowers you, a way that “cuts them down” to a size where you know you can effectively handle things.

329. The defining factor [for success] is never resources; it’s resourcefulness.

330. If you learn to condition yourself you can change anything you want in your life.

331. 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.

332. To paraphrase the philosopher Nietzsche, he who has a strong enough why can bear almost any how. I’ve found that 20 percent of any change is knowing how; but 80 percent is knowing why. If we gather a set of strong enough reasons to change, we can change in a minute something we’ve failed to change for years.

333. A problem is a question you haven’t yet answered to a level that has fulfilled you.

334. Your income right now is a result of your standards, it is not the industry, it is not the economy.

335. Leaders focus on what they can control, what they have, and what they want.

336. If there is no action, you haven’t really decided.

337. Things do not have meaning. We assign meaning to everything.

338. Nothing tastes as good as looking good feels.

339. What is an Extraordinary Life? A life of meaning, a magnificent life, a life of joy, happiness, love, passion, success, and fulfillment. Life experienced on your terms.

340. Grace is that thing that shows up to guide you when you’ve done the first two steps and you’re intent on doing something larger than just yourself. That’s when all of the sudden things are great.

341. You want to know the biggest illusion about success? That it’s like a pinnacle to be climbed, a thing to be possessed, or a static result to be achieved. If you want to succeed, if you want to achieve all your outcomes, you have to think of success as a process, a way of life, a habit of mind, a strategy for life.

342. The past does not equal the future.

343. Everything in life and business, you only earn more if you become more valuable. Because if you can do more for people than anybody else does, you can prosper. But you can’t do that unless you’re constantly educating yourself with the cutting edge. My whole life, even when I had no money, I would invest in education.

344. If there’s anything you want to do and you can’t figure out why you’re not doing it, there’s a simple answer: you link more pain to doing it than not doing it. Hey, if you don’t have enough money, for example I know that’s an issue for a lot of people. It was for a good deal of my life. If you don’t have money there’s only one reason: you link more pain to having more money than to not having it.

345. And always remember the ultimate truth: life is not about money, it’s about emotion.

346. A fantastic analogy for the power of focus is racing cars. When your car begins to skid, the natural reflex is to look at the wall in an attempt to avoid it. But if you keep focusing on what you fear, that’s exactly where you’ll end up. Professional racers know that we unconsciously steer in the direction of our focus, so with their lives on the line, they turn their focus away from the wall and towards the open track.

347. Much more devastating than frustration is the emotion of disappointment.

348. There is no breakthrough without a breakdown.

349. If you believe you are right, or you believe you are wrong, you’re right. Whenever you are certain about it, you will support it. Remember that.

350. Have good examples and stories to drive home your content.

351. Everybody’s life is either rewarding or an example.

352. I think there’s a difference between “I Can” and “I Am.” And “I Am” is really the goal that I’m looking for, rather than “I Can”.

353. If people maintain the belief systems that empower them, they’ll keep coming back with enough action and enough resourcefulness to succeed eventually.

354. If you want access to the files of valuable information in a computer, you must understand how to retrieve the data by asking for it with the proper commands. Likewise, what enables you to get anything you want from your own personal databanks is the commanding power of asking questions.

355. I believe that life supports what supports more of life. In other words, motivation does matter. If you’re just trying to take care of yourself, you’re part of life and I believe life steps in and gives you a certain level of insight.

356. I believe therapy can be done more rapidly. I’m into your finding the source of what’s making you think and feel the way you do and shifting it quickly.

357. I always believe leaders are readers, so you’ve got to read 30 minutes a day of something that’s going to inspire you.

358. Dr. Rosenberg has brought the simplicity of successful communication into the foreground. No matter what issue you’re facing, his strategies for communicating with others will set you up to win every time.

359. If we don’t consciously plant the seeds of what we want in the gardens of our minds we’ll end up with weeds.

360. It’s not about success, it’s about progress.

361. Weight control does have to be for a lifetime or you’ll be yo-yoing.

362. In fact if you’re a mother or a father, you’re filled with oxytocin when you have a child. It makes you love the baby, even though they look like a lizard .You’ll think it’s the beautiful thing in the world.

363. “Is is in the small decisions you and I make every day that create our destiny.
Is is in the small decisions you and I make every day that create our destiny.”

364. I’m both challenged and excited. My excitement is: I get a chance to give something back. My challenge is: The shortest seminar I usually do is 50 hours.

365. The quality of one’s life is directly related to the quality of questions one asks oneself.

366. I have seen business moguls achieve their ultimate goals but still live in frustration, worry, and fear. What’s preventing these successful people for being happy? The answer is they have focused only on achievement and not fulfillment. Extraordinary accomplishment does not guarantee extraordinary joy, happiness, love, and a sense of meaning. These two skill sets feed off each other, and make me believe that success without fulfillment is failure.

367. Some people’s weight loss is impeded by an impaired thyroid. So I think it’s worth testing that at your next physical exam. If it’s off, sometimes, that can be caused by excess metals, such as mercury or cadmium. A qualified M.D. can help you cleanse your body of those.

368. How can you have any regret when everything worked out fine? But why I think it worked out fine is due to the lessons I learned along the way. And one of those involves listening to experts.

369. By changing nothing, nothing changes.

370. Excitement must lead to immediate action or you will lose the power of momentum. More dreams die because we fail to seize the moment. Do it now!

371. If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.

372. If you keep a clear vision for your future, it will pull you like a magnet through your toughest times.

373. Success without happiness is failure.

374. Your thoughts really, truly shape everything in your life that you feel and experience.

375. Trade your expectations for appreciation and the world changes instantly.

376. Business is a spiritual pursuit. Your business will not grow unless you grow as a person.

377. Whatever you consistently think about and focus upon you move toward.

378. The more rules you have about how people have to be, how life has to be for you to be happy, the less happy you’re going to be.

379. Everybody’s life is either a warning or an example. You’ve got to decide what you’re gonna be and you have to draw a line in the sand.

380. Never leave the site of a goal without first taking some form of positive action towards its attainment. Right now, take a moment to define the first steps you must take to achieve some goal. What can you do today to move forward?

381. One skill you want to master in this day and age we live in, if you want to have an extraordinary life, is the ability to learn rapidly.

382. The difference between MUST & SHOULD is the life you want and the life you have.

383. People will do more to avoid pain than they will do to gain pleasure.

384. Set high standards for yourself and don’t settle for anything less. You are the best judge of yourself and your capabilities.

385. It’s your unlimited power to care and to love that can make the biggest difference in the quality of your life.

386. My whole life is driven by love. It always has been. It’s never been driven by material things – which are just benefits of doing something I loved.

387. Things are only impossible until somebody does what another believes can’t be done.

388. Long ago, I realized that success leaves clues, and that people who produce outstanding results do specific things to create those results. I believed that if I precisely duplicated the actions of others, I could reproduce the same quality of results that they had.

389. I always tell people there’s nothing greater than a crisis to create a breakthrough. Because that’s when we breakthrough usually – most people don’t proactively breakthrough – they breakthrough because they have to. And the beauty of crisis is it doesn’t feel beautiful, is it melts us down. And when you’re melted down you can recast your life in a new way.

390. All human progress is preceded by new questions

391. Determination and persistence are melded together. Their basis comes from people who stay hungry and don`t allow themselves to get too comfortable. Entering a comfort zone is the fastest way to kill your drive and determination, at which point you begin to accept whatever you have as being “good enough.” There is no self-esteem in accepting the status quo. There are tremendous emotional and psychological rewards that come with pushing yourself to break through past limits and, in the process, creating something of value for yourself and others.

392. Remember: Rewards come in action, not in discussion.

393. Life wants you to serve something more than yourself. When you serve something more than yourself, you are served. It’s the most ironic thing in the world.

394. We don’t get our shoulds, we get our musts.

395. For changes to be of any true value, they’ve got to be lasting and consistent. Any time you sincerely want to make a change, the first thing you must do is to raise your standards… 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… Whatever happens, take responsibility… The only thing that’s keeping you from getting what you want is the story you keep telling yourself.

396. [There is] the need to feel unique, special, important or needed. Everybody has those needs, including the people that say I don’t need to be special.

397. Remember, ask and you shall receive. If you ask a terrible question, you’ll get a terrible answer. Your mental computer is ever ready to serve you, and whatever question you give it, it will surely come up with an answer.

398. Realize that if you can instantly create a problem, you can just as quickly and easily create a solution.

399. Things happen in my physical body, in my relationships. I’ve buried three fathers and a mother. I’ve had a doctor tell me I’ve got a tumor in my brain. And when you face those situations, they transform you, they change you, and when you’re able to break through them to a new level, they allow you to have gifts to give other people

400. We always have a choice.

401. When you focus on serving, there is no fear in you.

402. If you look around the world and I can tell you right now that the majority of the planet is focused on certainty and significance. And those two absolutely guarantee unhappiness. Because if you’re driven by significance, it doesn’t matter what you achieve, it’s never enough.

403. Why not make cheerfulness, outrageousness, playfulness a new priority for yourself? Make feeling good your expectation. You don’t have to have a reason to feel good – you’re alive; you can feel good for no reason at all!

404. The only problem we really have is we think we’re not supposed to have problems! Problems call us to higher level- – face & solve them now!

405. Decision equals destiny.

406. People are not their behaviors.

407. Loss is imaginary. Nothing ever disappears in the universe; it only changes form.

408. It’s not leadership by position that allows people to succeed; it’s the capacity to influence the thoughts, the feelings, the emotions, and the actions of other human beings.

409. 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.

410. It really is understanding how to use money, and not let money use you.

411. Achievers rarely, if ever, see a problem as permanent,while those who fail see even the smallest problems as permanent.

412. The one thing you can do for others is the manage your own life. And do it with conviction.

413. I don’t have to work another day of my life, thank God, but I’m in a place where I probably work as hard or harder today than I ever have, but I do it because I want to, not because I have to. What is the difference between work and play? I think the difference is purpose. When your vocation becomes your vacation, the old quote, you know that’s when you made it.

414. You must find something you want to live for that’s bigger than yourself – a mission – whether it’s your children, a business, a non-profit, whatever. That pulls you to achieve, which is far more sustainable than to push yourself to. You can only push yourself for so long.

415. We usually overestimate what we think we can accomplish in one year-but we grossly underestimate what we can accomplish in a decade.

416. Who are you now? Who have you decided to become? Make this decision consciously. Make it carefully. Make it powerfully. Then act upon it.

417. People are bigger than anything that can happen to them.

418. Put yourself in a state of mind where you say to yourself.

419. Find a great role model, perhaps someone who struggled and only really succeeded when older. Their biography and what they’ve done differently from you will help you. If such a person is willing to mentor you or at least allow you to work around them, great.

420. Where focus goes, energy flows. And where energy flows, whatever you’re focusing on grows. In other words, your life is controlled by what you focus on. That’s why you need to focus on where you want to go, not on what you fear. When you next find yourself in a state of uncertainty, resist your fear. Shift your focus toward where you want to go and your actions will take you in that direction.

421. My teacher Jim Rohn taught me a simple principle: every day, stand guard at the door of your mind, and you alone decide what thoughts and beliefs you let into your life. For they will shape whether you feel rich or poor, cursed or blessed.

422. High self-esteem comes from feeling like you have control over events not that events have control over you.

423. It is not that we don’t know the right answers, it is just that we don’t ask the right questions.

424. 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.

425. No one’s life is a smooth sail; we all come into stormy weather. But it’s this adversity – and more specifically our resilience – that makes us strong and successful.

426. Realize that the hardest step in achieving anything is making a true commitment.

427. The past is a place you can learn from, not a place you want to live.

428. If you add the value, you will become the brand. Find a way to add more value than anyone else does.

430. More than anything else, I believe it’s our decisions, not the conditions of our lives that determine our destiny.

431. It is not what we get. But who we become, what we contribute… that gives meaning to our lives.

432. You shape your perceptions, or someone shapes them for you. You do what you want to do, or you respond to someone else’s plan for you.

433. Success does not mean taking, it means truly growing and giving.

434. If there’s no action, you haven’t truly decided.

435. If you want to change your life in the fastest way possible, trade your expectations of others for appreciation.

436. A decision made from fear is always the wrong decision.

437. Whatever you really want, wants don’t get met consistently, standards do.

438. The greatest leverage you can create for yourself is the pain that comes from inside, not outside. Knowing that you have failed to live up to your own standards for your life is the ultimate pain.

439. There’s no abiding success without commitment.

440. The Art of Fulfillment is the ability to experience not only the thrill of the chase, but also the magic of the moment, the unbridled joy of feeling truly alive.

441. Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life’s deepest joy: true fulfillment.. Put yourself in a state of mind where you say to yourself, “Here is an opportunity for me to celebrate like never before, my own power, my own ability to get myself to do whatever is necessary.”

442. 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.

443. When people are like each other they tend to like each other.

444. If you tell yourself a lie long enough, you’ll start to believe it.

445. The scary truth is 96 percent of mutual funds fail to match the market, and the 4 percent that do, they’re always changing.

446. Think of your mind, your emotions, and your spirit as the ultimate garden. The way to ensure a bountiful, nourishing harvest is to plant seeds like love, warmth, and appreciation, instead of seeds like disappointment, anger, and fear.

447. Negative things you tell yourself are inCANTations, turn them into inCANtations.

448. Make your life a masterpiece: Step beyond the demands of the moment and begin right now to design and live the life you deserve.

449. The world we live in is the world we choose to live in, whether consciously or unconsciously. If we choose bliss, that’s what we get. If we choose misery, we get that, too.

450. Money can’t be cared about – it’s got to be a tool that you use, because if you don’t use it, it will use you.

451. If you ever hear yourself or anyone you care about starting to express the belief that a problem is permanent, it’s time to immediately shake that person loose. No matter what happens in your life, you’ve got to be able to believe, ‘This, too, shall pass,’ and that if you keep persisting, you’ll find a way.

452. We’re all unique and individual biochemically, but there are certain rules that if you violate them, you’re going to have disease in the body. If you’re aligned with them, you’re going to have an abundance of energy and vitality and health.

453. One of the finest beliefs I developed years ago that helped me to enjoy all of my life experience was the idea that there are no bad experiences, that no matter what I go through in life – whether it’s a challenging experience or a pleasurable one – every experience provides me something of value if I look for it.

454. If there’s anything you’re not happy about-in your relationships, in your health, in your career-make a decision right now about how you’re going to change it immediately.

460. I love my kids. But I don’t give them the burden of being the source of my love.

461. Do something physical every day, even if it’s just five or ten minutes of fast walking a couple times a day. That tends to replace fear and anger with determination and courage. It can change your identity, your momentum.

462. You must learn how to handle rejection. To succeed, you must learn how to cope with a little word ‘no’, learn how to strip that rejection of all its power. The best salesmen are those who are rejected most. They are the ones who can take any ‘no’ and use it as a prod to go onto the next ‘yes’.

463. Most of society thinks that biography is destiny, that the past equals the future, and of course it does if you live there…but what we really have to remind ourselves is that decision is the ultimate power.

464. Job dissatisfaction is the number one factor in whether you survive your first heart attack.

465. Be yourself. That’s it. I got about 45 [billionaires] . They are all different, all unique, and they are all self-made.

467. Winners take imperfect action while losers are still perfecting the plan.

468. The secret to living is giving.

469. The best way to get a better answer is to start asking a better question.

470. Every problem is a gift – without problems we would not grow.

471. Success is processional. It’s the result of a series of small disciplines that lead us into habitual patterns of success that no longer require consistent will or effort.

472. 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.

473. Passion is the genesis of genius.

474. 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.

475. You can’t hit a target if you don’t know what it is.

476. It’s not about the goal. It’s about becoming the type of person that can accomplish the goal.

477. The ability to find meaning in the most difficult times, I think, is one of the most important skills of life.

478. I look at people’s lives and you see what’s not working in their lives and it usually comes from an undisciplined mind.

479. Knowledge is potential; action is power.

480. Most individuals work much harder to hang on to what they have than to take the necessary risk to shoot for their dreams.

481. People who say, “I don’t know what to do,” usually aren’t inspired enough to make it happen.

482. 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.

483. Effective leaders have the ability to consistently move themselves and others to action because they understand the “invisible forces” that shape us.

484. 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?

485. Throughout human history, our greatest leaders and thinkers have used the power of words to transform our emotions, to enlist us in their causes, and to shape the course of destiny. Words can not only create emotions, they create actions. And from our actions flow the results of our lives.

486. One way to develop faith and confidence is simply to practice using it. If I were to ask you whether you’re confident that you can tie your own shoes, I’m sure you could tell me with perfect confidence that you can. Why? Only because you’ve done it thousands of times! So practice confidence by using it consistently, and you’ll be amazed at the dividends it reaps in every area of your life.

487. Understand that all emotions serve you. Those you once thought of as negative emotions are merely calls to action. For example, if you feel frustrated it means that you believe things could be better, and they’re not. This is a call to action telling you there’s something you must do to make this better now. This “negative” emotion is actually a gift if you use it effectively.

488. Remember: we all get what we tolerate. So stop tolerating excuses within yourself, limiting beliefs of the past, or half-assed or fearful states.

489. Whatever you focus on you’re going to feel.

490. The first thing these people have who succeed, who are fulfilled, is that they’ve decided what the purpose of the game is, at least for right now.

491. The best tool today is longevity insurance – they call it income insurance. Most people know the value of life insurance. But what if you live? So instead of trying to guess one or the other, you plan for those 20 years and you get this income insurance. If you live beyond 85, you have money that’s guaranteed for as long as you live in the form of an annuity.

492. Variety is the spice of life. We all want surprises.

493. Focus equals feeling.

494. See it as it is, not worse than it is just so you have a reason not to try.

495. I prime my mind. I wake up every morning and say, “Look, if you don’t have 10 minutes for yourself, you don’t have a life.” I take 10 minutes.

497. Energy is not only the basis of our existence, it is the fuel that makes everything in our lives real and possible.

498. The most powerful force in the human psyche is people’s need for their words and actions to stay consistent with their IDENTITY – how we define ourselves.

499. Some people get certainty by working harder and saying I’m going to master something. Some people get certainty by lowering their expectations, going ‘it will never work. And they lose their dreams, but they get their needs. The needs are not like goals. They’re not like belief systems that are built into you.

500. It’s a good idea not to major in minor things.

501. There is always a place in the world for those who are willing to give of their time, energy, capital, creativity, and commitment.

502. With goals you can create the future in advance.

503. It’s not enough to have a strategy for success. Great strategy is available for free online for everything from career success to meeting Mr. or Ms. Right. You must also tell yourself the right story.

504. To help other people, you’ve got to be able to help yourself. You go to a psychiatrist, and they’re on this Prozac, Effexor, and antidepressants, you may have picked the wrong person. If you go to somebody who’s broke who’s selling you financial services, that might not be a good thing. You go to somebody who’s fat to help you lose weight… And a lot of people ironically do these types of things.

505. You either master money, or, on some level, money masters you.

506. My personal belief is that the only thing keeping you from freedom is all the beliefs you have about what has to happen before you can be there.

507. For many people, food is a source of comfort, connection, and control.

508. No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn’t trying.

509. 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.

510. Change happens when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change.

511. The only real security in life comes from knowing that every single day you are improving yourself in some way.

512. 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.

513. If you find yourself saying ‘I can’t do something’, but you know it in your heart of hearts that if you do it, you’re going to grow, you’re going to be a better person, it’s going to contribute to your family or to your kids or to something that matters, and you keep saying ‘I can’t do it,’ there is no question—you must do it. You don’t discuss it anymore. You just take immediate action… You do what’s necessary.

514. Getting old is not a matter of age; it’s a lack of #‎ movement . And the ultimate lack of movement is death.

515. When it looks impossible and you are ready to quit, victory is near!

516. Sometimes, not getting what you want can be the most valuable experience of your entire life.

517. There is a force that controls all your decisions. It influences how you think and feel every moment you’re alive. It determines what you will do and what you will not do. It determines how you feel about anything that occurs in your life. That force is your beliefs.

518. Contrary to popular wisdom, knowledge is not power-it’s potential power. Knowledge is not mastery. Execution is mastery. Execution will trump knowledge every day of the week.

519. People are not lazy. They simply have impotent goals – that is, goals that do not inspire them.

520. 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.

521. What we link to pleasure and what we link to pain determines our destiny.

522. Other than our love our labor is one of the most sacred gifts we can give. When your labor is your love, life is sacred. Love what you do or change.

523. At any moment in time, our reality is based on whatever we focus on.

524. If you don’t trust, you will die if not physically then emotionally. To do anything in life, you must have faith.

525. Success without fulfillment is failure.

526. In order for things to change you, you must be able to change.

527. Every lion has a time in their life when a thorn has got to them at one point.

528. If there is any one skill that every professional must learn, it is how to brand himself or herself in the marketplace. A brand provides certainty to customers and lets them know that what theyre getting is the best. People dont like to make decisions. Once we decide, for example, the kind of toothpaste we prefer, rarely do we change. We have to make so many decisions every day in our lives that most of us are overwhelmed.

529. I remember reading about the astounding number of people in this country who die within three years of retiring, which proves to me that if you lose the sense that you are producing or contributing in some way, you literally lose the will to live, and that if you do have a reason to hang on, you will.

530. If you pursue enrichment and growth, you must increase your references by pursuing ideas and experiences that wouldn’t be a part of your life if you didn’t consciously seek them out.

531. Billionaire investors know they’re going to be wrong, so they have a plan to protect against wrong.

532. “What’s talked about is a dream,
What’s envisioned is exciting,
What’s planned become possible,
What’s scheduled is real.”

533. It’s natural to sit down but the human spirit within us can make us get up.

534. I don’t think I have any regrets, but I can tell you what I learned from mistakes or failures. I’ve had plenty of those. I just don’t believe in regret, and my economic world is not what I would ever have imagined; I’m financially free.

535. It’s not resources but resourcefulness that ultimately makes the difference.

536. To measure success with material things is failure!

537. You can be a They and be a billionaire. Not all billionaires are happy and fulfilled. My whole thing is, add value to whoever you meet. Sometimes, the value is just being happy and loving, giving an extra couple of moments to look someone in the eye. Nothing replaces authentic feeling and emotion.

538. I naturally end up looking for things to be grateful for. It doesn’t mean I don’t sometimes feel angry or fearful but because I’m wired for positive emotions, net, I end up treating others and myself better.

539. Creating Change – The first step to creating any change is deciding what you do want so that you have something to move toward.

540. It’s not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives. It’s what we do consistently.

541. Make your goal to do a tremendous amount to improve your audience’s lives.

542. Most people settle for connection, because love’s too scary. They don’t want to lose that feeling, that super high is too crushing so they settle for the comfort of connection.

543. If your life’s worth living, it’s worth recording.

544. You can use your story, or your story can use you.

545. We want to avoid pain and have pleasure, so if our early attempts to achieve our dreams fail, we want to avoid the pain of future failure and rejection, so we stop trying and write it off with a broadbrush, “I’m just not driven enough, not well educated enough, not attractive enough, not smart enough.”

546. Don’t limit your challenges; challenge your limits. Each day we must strive for constant and never ending improvement.

547. Who you spend time with is who you become.

548. Nothing can drag you down if you’re not holding on to it.

549. Courage, like fear, is a habit. The more you do it, the more you do it, and this habit-of stepping up, of taking action-more than anything else, will move you in a different direction.

550. 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.

551. At any moment the decision you make can change the course of your life forever.

552. Every time you reach for food, ask yourself, ‘Will this cleanse or clog me?’

553. There are no real successes without rejection. The more rejection you get, the better you are, the more you’ve learned, the closer you are to your outcome… If you can handle rejection, you’ll learn to get everything you want.

554. The secret to success is… is no secret. It’s called work your Ass off and find a way to add more value to peoples lives than anyone else does!

555. Lack of emotion causes lack of progress and lack of motivation.

556. I don’t fix anybody, because I don’t think anybody’s broken. I think what people have are patterns, and those can be changed. People quickly understand that what’s controlling their thoughts and emotions are their values and rules, and they learn how to shift those.

557. If you don’t educate yourself, this is an area of your life that it is a game.

560. The only way to create change in anyone`s psychology or belief system is to show them the consequences of their actions – or inaction.

561. People have a need for certainty – and that need for certainty is in every human being, certainty that you can avoid pain, certainty that you can at least be comfortable. It’s a survival instinct.

562. If you are going to succeed, you must deal with what caused you to fail.

563. To have an extraordinary quality of life you need two skills: the science of achievement (the ability to take anything you envision and make it real) and the art of fulfillment (this allows you to enjoy every moment of it.

564. Progress is the ultimate motivation.

565. 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.

566. Break through the bonds of your past.

567. If you do extreme exercise to lose weight, you’ll usually soon stop because you get injured or because it’s simply too rigorous to do for a lifetime.

568. If you become a master of meaning, you become a master of your life. Two people can have the same experience. One person decides that because of that experience his or her life is over, while the other decides that God has challenged him or her to step up, face the challenge, and become more than he or she ever was before.

569. Don’t ever speak publicly about anything that you’re not passionate about and that you don’t actually believe you have something truly unique about it to deliver.

576. I’ve got a mission to help people improve and massively change their lives and create breakthroughs, so I’m always looking for them and I’m the first guinea pig.

577. Probably the most pervasive false belief most of us harbor is the fallacy that only some superhuman act would have the power to turn our problems around. Nothing could be further from the truth. Life is cumulative. Whatever results we’re experiencing in our lives are the accumulation of a host of small decisions we’ve made as individuals, as a family, as a community, as a society, and as a species.

578. We only learn our limits by going beyond them. I propose that we all commit ourselves to the process of Constant and Never ending Improvement.

579. You must find a more empowering source of comfort, connection, and control than food. Perhaps a creative outlet, helping others, becoming active in an organization, whatever.

580. The only impossible journey is the one you never begin.

588. Power moves with you when you have an intent to serve more than yourself.

589. It is so important to remember that, as we travel through life, there will be so many events which we cant control. These are things that seemingly alter our lives forever or become barriers for living a life of fulfillment. Its important to remember that the ultimate experience of life is not to be controlled by events. We all have difficult events in our lives – the loss of family members, economics, stress, litigation, government interference in our businesses, health challenges. Remember that it is not the events that shape our lives, but, rather, the meaning we attach to them.

590. People who experience negative or stressful emotions on an ongoing basis are less healthy and live shorter lives.

591. When you hit a plateau you have to be willing to get a little bit worse before you get massively better.

592. You must know that in any moment a decision you make can change the course of your life forever, the very next person who you stand behind in line or sit next to on an aeroplane, 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.

593. I don’t mean to sound corny, but it’s one word: results. If you get results, you can get anyone.

594. Our #‎ imagination is ten times more potent than our #‎ willpower .

595. Your number one skill as a leader is the ability to influence.

596. People don’t lack resources, they just lack control over their resources.

597. A genuine quality of life comes from consistent, quality questions.

598. Proximity is power. If you can get proximity with people that are the best in the world, things can happen because all of the people they know, the insights they have and the life experience they have. They can save you a decade of time by one insight.

599. I also remember the moment my life changed, the moment I finally said, “I’ve had it!” I know I’m much more than I’m demonstrating mentally, emotionally, and physically in my life. I made a decision in that moment which was to alter my life forever. I decided to change virtually every aspect of my life. I decided I would never again settle for less that I can be.

600. Having an identity that is specifically linked to your age or how you look would definitely set you up for pain because these things will change. If we have a broader sense of who we are, our identity never becomes threatened.

601. Success leaves clues. Go figure out what someone who was successful did, and model it. Improve it, but learn their steps. They have knowledge.

602. Our beliefs are like the unquestioned commands, telling us how things are, what’s possible and what’s impossible, what we can and can not do.

605. Execution will trump knowledge every day of the week.

607. I want to be remembered as a great friend, an outstanding father, an amazing husband, and a good soul who always strived to serve God and man. And during that time of service on earth, I would like people to think, “He brought joy, love, opportunity, and fulfillment to millions of people.”

608. 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.

609. If we habitually focus on how to improve things that are already great, can you see how this spirit can transform ourselves, our organizations, families and communities?

610. The most important thing is what you already do. It’s being authentic. It’s being curious, trying to discover gifts.

611. In order to take our lives to the next level, we must realize that the same pattern of thinking that has gotten us to where we are now will not get us to where we want to go.

612. Ten years from now you’ll laugh at whatever’s stressing you out today. So why not laugh now?

613. The real joy in life comes from finding your true purpose and aligning it with what you do every single day.

614. What changes your life is not learning more. What changes your life is making decisions & using your personal power & taking action.

615. The one thing that separates winners from the losers, is , winners take action.

616. Don’t put off joy and happiness. Strive to live each day to its fullest, squeezing all the joy you can out of each moment. Instead of measuring your life’s value by your progress toward a single goal, remember that the direction you’re headed in is more important than temporary results.

617. Pain is part of life. Suffering is an option.

618. If you don’t make a conscious effort to control your focus-and decide in advance which things you’re going to focus on-you’ll be so pulled by the demands of the world that you will soon find yourself living in reaction rather than living a life plan you’ve designed for yourself.

619. 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.

620. A life of fulfillment is one in which we put urgency in its place and remember that the ultimate target is to spend our lives doing the things we believe are most important to us.

621. The 2 master skills of life are: The Science of Achievement and The Art of Fulfillment.

622. All decision-making is a values-clarifying exercise.

623. As long as you have a set of beliefs or lack of skills that make you feel you have at the effect of life, you’re going to have enormous stress and the quality of your life will go down.

624. Reading put perspective to any challenge I was facing and made me see that extraordinary people usually had extraordinary pain, difficulties or injustices. That’s part of why they have the drive and hunger to do good in the world, to make something happen.

625. Meaning equals emotion and emotion equals life. Choose consciously and wisely.

626. So many people feel that they have to wait for certain experiences in order to feel the emotions they desire. For instance, they don’t give themselves permission to feel loved or happy or confident unless a particular set of expectations is met. I’m here to tell you that you can feel any way you choose at any moment in time.

627. You can’t raise a happy, more resilient kid if you’re not a happy, more resilient adult.

628. You become what you do most of the time.

629. “The past doesn’t equal the future.
All great leaders, all people who have achieved in any area of life,
know the power of continuously pursuing their vision,
even if all the details of how to achieve it aren’t yet available.”

630. When life’s conditions don’t equal your expectations you are unhappy, have no expectations only appreciations (especially in the area of relationships)

631. Many people know what they want to have, but have no idea of who they want to be. Getting ‘things’ simply will not fulfill you. Only living and doing what you believe is ‘the right thing’ will give you that sense of inner strength that we all deserve.

632. I can help someone grow their business 130% in 12 to 18 months only because I’ve done that with so many of my own and have faced so many challenges.

633. Who needs to walk on fire, when you can walk on water with this site.

634. The wealthiest person on earth is the one who appreciates.

635. Whenever somebody reaches above their own limitations – I always tell people, the best time to go give is when you have nothing.

636. Effective leaders know that resources are never the problem; it’s always a matter or resourcefulness.

637. If all we needed were ideas and positive thinking, then we all would have had ponies when we were kids and we would all be living our “dream life” now.

638. The number one key to success in life is to master your own state. If you can manage and master your states, there’s nothing you can’t do.

639. The same protection you create for yourself becomes the wall that imprisons you.

640. Change is automatic, Progress is Not!

641. See it better than it is or you have no future, without vision there is no possibility of improvement.

642. The quality of your life is a direct reflection of the expectations of your peer group.

643. 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.

644. The secret of unleashing your true power is setting goals that are exciting enough that they truly inspire your creativity and ignite yourpassion.

645. To create an extraordinary quality of life, you must create a vision that’s not only obtainable, but that is sustainable.

646. We don’t have to feel negative about weeds. They’re a part of life. We need to see them, acknowledge them, focus on the solution, and immediately do whatever it takes to eliminate their influence from our lives.

647. Success is not something you achieve, conquer, climb, or complete. Success is a process; it’s a way of life.

648. If you can’t, then you must!

649. Happiness and success in life are not the result of what we have, but rather of how we live. What we do with the things we have makes the biggest difference in the quality of life.

650. I’m certainly not saying that my life is what success is all about. To me, success is the ongoing process of striving to become more.

651. If you can do one thing you thought was utterly impossible, it causes you to rethink your beliefs. Life is both subtler and more complex than some of us like to believe. So if you haven’t done so already, review your beliefs and decide which ones you might change now and what you would change those beliefs to.

652. I think about what’s the best way to serve people. In business, if you do more for others than anybody else does, you dominate. That’s the bottom line.

653. You and I must realize that the English language is filled with words that, in addition to their literal meanings, convey distinct emotional intensity. For example, if you develop a habit of saying you ‘hate’ things – you ‘hate’ your hair; you ‘hate’ your job; you ‘hate’ having to do something – do you think this raises the intensity of your negative emotional states more than if you use a phrase like ‘I prefer something else’?

654. If you’re aware when it’s going on, you can deal with it and change it. If you’re not aware of it, you’ll be mystified at the states that come and go seemingly without reason.

655. Remember: we all get what we tolerate. So stop tolerating excuses within yourself, limiting beliefs of the past, or half-assed or fearful states. Use your body as a tool to snap yourself into a place of sheer will, determination, and commitment. Face your challenges head on with the core belief that problems are just speed bumps on the road to your dreams. And from that place, when you take massive action-with an effective and proven strategy-you will rewrite your history.

656. Power flows to those who serve.

657. I’m on a mission to help people grow and give. The more they grow the more they can give, the more life they build, the greater the quality of their life.

658. Expectations send unconscious signals that people respond to.

659. There is no greatness without passion to be great, whether it’s the aspiration of an athlete or an artist, a scientist, a parent, or a businessperson.

660. Doing something extraordinarily good is very hard to do and you could fail. Extraordinarily bad is easy to do – it’s much easier to burn down a building than to build one.

661. The beliefs that we use to define our own individuality, what makes us unique – good, bad, or indifferent – from other individuals.

662. For many people, food is a source of comfort, connection, and control.

663. There are no failures, only outcomes. As long as I learn something, I am succeeding.

664. No matter how difficult the situation is, it won’t last forever. What follows the night is the day. What follows the winter is the spring.

665. Engaging people is about meeting their needs, not yours.

666. Success comes from taking the initiative and following up or persisting.

667. How you feel is not the result of what is happening in your life-it is your interpretation of what is happening.

668. The only people without problems are those in cemeteries. It is not what happens to us that separates failures from successes. It is how we perceive and what we do about what happens that makes the difference.

669. All successful people learn that success is buried on the other side of frustration. Unfortunately, some people don’t get to the other side… They allow frustration to keep them from taking the necessary actions that would support them in achieving their desire. You get through this roadblock by plowing through frustration, taking each setback as feedback you can learn from, and pushing ahead.

670. Influence is the single most important skill you can master in your lifetime.

671. Who you spend time with is who you become! Change your life by consciously choosing to surround yourself with people with higher standards!

672. The difference between acting badly or brilliantly is not based on your ability, but on the state of your mind and/or body in any given moment.

673. 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.

674. Labor is service and service is life. And when we serve something more than ourselves, we feel alive.

675. 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.

676. 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.

677. If you raise your standards but don’t really believe you can meet them, you’ve already sabotaged yourself. You won’t even try; you’ll be lacking the sense of certainty that allows you to tap the deepest capacity that’s within you… Our beliefs are like unquestioned commands, telling us how things are, what’s possible and impossible and what we can and can not do. They shape every action, every thought and every feeling that we experience. As a result, changing our belief systems is central to making any real and lasting change in our lives.

678. Quality questions create a quality life.

679. Your emotions are nothing but biochemical storms in your brain and you are in control of them at any point in time.

680. When a person with money meets a person with experience, the person with the experience ends up with your money.

681. The race of life is a marathon, not a sprint.

682. Solidly know content you feel passionate about and that your audience needs to know.

683. Many people say, “Well, I’d love to make a decision like that, but I’m not sure how I could change my life.” They’re paralyzed by the fear that they don’t know exactly how to turn their dreams into reality. And as a result, they never make the decisions that could make their lives into the masterpieces they deserve to be. I’m here to tell you that it’s not important initially to know how you’re going to create a result. What’s important is to decide you will find a way, no matter what.

684. Happiness is found in the absence of expectation and a continuous focus on appreciation.

685. The ultimate success formula: I) Decide what you want (Be precise! Clarity is power) II) Take action (because desire is not enough) III) Notice what’s working or not (You don’t want to continue to expend energy on an approach that’s worthless IV) Change your approach until you achieve what you want (Flexibility gives you the power to create a new approach and a new result.)

686. What people CAN do is very different from what they WILL do.

687. Remember anything you want that’s valuable requires you to break through short-term pain in order to gain long-term pleasure.

688. The most important thing is contribution because the secret to living is giving. If you catch on to that you start realizing that there’s nothing you can get that comes close to what you can give. Life is calling all of us to be more than just about ourselves and that is when we get that spiritual hit.

689. Change is inevitable. Progress is optional.

690. 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.

691. Each day that we live, we’re taking in new information, ideas, concepts, experiences, and sensations. We need to consciously stand guard at the doors of our minds to make sure that whatever we’re allowing to enter will cause our lives to be enriched, that the experiences we pursue will add to our stockpile of possibility.

692. All change is nothing but a decision. All decisions are controlled by what we link to pain and pleasure.

693. No food or drug will ever do for you what a fresh supply of oxygen will.

694. Never laugh at anyone’s dream. People who don’t have dreams don’t have much.

695. If you could help millions of people, you can certainly make millions of dollars. I try to influence everyone I know to be a giver because the person that benefits most by giving is the giver.

696. It’s important to realize that words shape our beliefs and impact our actions.

697. Here is an opportunity for you to celebrate like never before, my own power, and my own ability to get myself to do whatever is necessary.

698. You can’t wait for the perfect situation. Find something you love. People you love. And get out there and you’ll discover it.

699. We are the only beings on the planet who lead such rich internal lives that it’s not the events that matter most to us, but rather, it’s how we interpret those events that will determine how we think about ourselves and how we will act in the future.

700. Every great, successful person I know shares the capacity to remain centered, clear, and powerful in the midst of emotional ‘storms’.

701. People are my greatest resource.

702. “Human beings absolutely follow through on who they believe they are
Human beings absolutely follow through on who they believe they are.”

703. Happy, vibrant, successful people think and behave in certain ways. So do miserable and unfulfilled people. In other words, there are patterns of success and patterns of failure. The good news is, success leaves clues.

704. To me, money is a vehicle; it’s a tool. I could use it as a weapon to destroy things or money can create-you can create an opportunity, you can create a charity, you can create things for your family, you can go do something for your family that nobody else would ever do. You can create educational opportunities, you can feed people overseas. And there’s a tremendous leverage with money, or you can destroy people with it.

705. Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.

706. Live every day with an attitude of gratitude.

707. Our culture teaches us that making significant changes takes a long time and is difficult to do. This is simply NOT true. Change happens in an instant. It is not a process – it is something you do in an instant by simply making a decision.

708. The meaning and the purpose behind some events are unknowable. This is the ultimate test of our faith. We must trust that everyone in life is here to learn different lessons at different times, that good and bad experiences are only the perceptions of man. After all, some of your worst experiences have truly been your best. They’ve sculpted you, trained you, developed within you a sensitivity and set you in a direction that reaches out to impact your ultimate destiny.

709. All successful people learn that success is buried on the other side of frustration.

710. We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish.

711. I think all people’s lives are controlled by their decisions. You look at people’s lives – it’s not their conditions, it’s their decisions. So everybody has a choice and every moment in your life you’re making decisions.

712. The best way to stay away from They is really simple. Stay with the people who have some passion. Stay with the people who know the truth. I like to find the They and turn them into We. I like to take the Theys and herd them. People that are skeptical, the Theys, I can bring them to We as much as I can.

713. Questions provide the key to unlocking our unlimited potential.

714. We’ve all been put to sleep by somebody who’s told us all these wonderful facts that didn’t matter because information without emotion is not retained.

715. The direction we’re heading is more important than individual results.

716. Everybody has a different strategy, but everybody agrees that active management does not beat the market.

717. Well, I’d love to make a decision like that, but I’m not sure how I could change my life.

718. Whether or not [the company] maximizes resources, that’s the job of the leader. How do I get greater results using less resources? That requires an enormous psychology when the economy is changing, the technology is changing, and the competition is worldwide.

719. Leaders anticipate. Losers react.

720. “We all have an emotional home that we keep coming back to. Even if a foundationally angry or sad person has a good job and good family, they return to their emotional home, especially when experiencing life’s inevitable setbacks.”

721. Often we are caught in a mental trap of seeing enormously successful people and thinking they are where they are because they have some special gift. Yet a closer look shows that the greatest gift that extraordinarily successful people have over the average person is their ability to get themselves to take action.

722. The goal of becoming more consistent with your core authentic self is a much stronger motivator than “I need to lose 30 pounds.”

723. All growth starts at the end of your comfort zone.

724. If you’re gonna make a change, you’re gonna have to operate from a new belief that says life happens not to me but for me.

725. Smile. It creates positive physiological change.

726. What are you going to focus on, that’s what affects everybody’s life. If you focus on what you can’t control, you’re a little crazy inside, angry and depressed. If you focus most of the time on what you don’t have instead of what you do have, you’re going to be extremely unhappy.

727. Everything happens for a reason and a purpose, and it serves you.

728. Time is one of the biggest issues you’ll see. People just do not know how to maximize their time. The way in which you execute and utilize time is everything. And most people push up against the threshold of their control.

729. Live life fully while you’re here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird.

730. Money is like a canvas or a shape shifter. It’s like whatever you project on that canvas, that’s what money is for you. Really, in its essence it’s power. Most people relate to money the way they relate to power. They either think other people have it, and they don’t and they’re mad about it, or they feel fearful of it like having it would be a burden or a responsibility.

731. Progress equals happiness.

732. Life, never deciding to master anything in particular.

733. Losers react. Winners anticipate.

734. You have to move from just working for money to a world where money works for you.

735. Your brain is not designed to make you happy. That’s your job!

736. Working because you want to, not because you have to is financial freedom.

737. The average American thinks billionaire investors are going to be right based on some talking head. They invest and they have no backup plan. Americans think these guys are giant risk-takers. The truth is they believe in taking as little risk as humanly possible, for the maximum amount of upside. They’re looking for that spread of disproportionate risk-reward.

738. Many people are passionate, but because of their limiting beliefs about who they are and what they can do, they never take actions that could make their dream a reality.

739. There are many people who live in what I call ‘No-man’s Land,’ a place where you’re not really happy, but you’re not unhappy enough to do anything about it. That’s a dangerous place. It’s a place where people numb themselves to their dreams. It’s where they dismiss hope and accept what’s in front of them instead of driving toward what they really want in life.

740. As we develop new beliefs about who we are, our behavior will change to support the new identity.

741. 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.

742. If we believe in magic, we’ll live a magical life.

743. People who succeed are those who know how to mobilize all their physical and mental resources on a goal.

744. There’s a huge difference between achieving to be happy and happily achieving.

745. Happiness is in the mind, experiences of joy or pleasure should be found in the body; but ongoing joy, pure unadulterated joy, that feeling of bliss for no reason comes when you feel like your life matters because it matters to more than yourself.

746. What good is inspiration if it’s not backed up by action?

747. It’s not the lack of resources that cause failure, it’s the lack of resourcefulness that causes failure.

748. The fact is: You are not a manager of circumstance, you’re the architect of your life’s experience.

749. Live with passion!

750. That’s basically what I have people do, I have them become aware. Once you set a goal, once you become aware of something, it becomes part of your consciousness.

751. Your imagination is ten times more potent than your willpower. Unleashed, it provides a sense of certainty and tenacious vision that goes far beyond any limitation of the past.

752. Let’s face it, we’re not about to earn our way to wealth. That’s a mistake millions of Americans make. We think that if we work harder, smarter, longer, we’ll achieve our financial dreams, but our paycheck alone-no matter how big-isn’t the answer.

753. I learned to park outside of Denny’s because it’s 24 hours. I made a deal at a 7-Eleven with a mailman so I could get my mail delivered there.

754. Complexity is the enemy of execution!

755. Age is not based on chronology, but psychology.

756. When you know what’s most important to you, making a decision is quite simple.

757. If you want to play the game and win, you’ve got to play ‘full out.’ You’ve got to be willing to feel stupid, and you’ve got to be willing to try things that might not work – and if they don’t work, be willing to change your approach. Otherwise, how could you innovate, how could you grow, how could you discovery who you really are?

758. There is no such thing as failure. There are only results.

759. 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.

760. In life you need either inspiration or desperation.

761. Resolutions require only words. Results take action.

762. Cultivate Curiosity. If you really want to grow in your lifetime, learn to be as inquisitive as a child. Curious people are never bored, and for them life becomes an unending study of joy.

763. The only way for us to have long-term happiness is to live by our highest ideals.

764. The road to success is always under construction. It is a progressive course, not an end to be reached.

765. Winter isn’t forever. Winter is always followed by spring. And it’s how to take advantage of whatever season you’re in.

766. You can make a lot of money. You can rule kingdoms or run huge businesses or control vast terrain. But if you’re just doing it for yourself, you’re not really a success.

767. There is always room in your life for thinking bigger, pushing limits and imagining the impossible.

768. Always have something to look forward to.

769. Success is doing what you want to do, when you want, where you want, with whom you want, as much as you want.

770. Give people more than they expect, and do it cheerfully.

771. Give something back by becoming more.

772. Rapport is the ultimate tool for producing results with other people. No matter what you want in your life, if you can develop rapport with the right people, you’ll be able to fill their needs, and they will be able to fill yours.

773. All that you really want in life is to change how you feel. Again, all your emotions are nothing but biochemical storms in your brain, and you are in control of them at any moment in time. You can feel ecstasy right now, or you can feel pain or depression or overwhelmed – it’s all up to you. You don’t need drugs or anything else to do it.

774. A woman can do anything a man can do today and then some. She can even have a child without a man.

775. If we can get to the truth, we can change anything.

776. When people say money doesn’t matter, it sure as hell does when you’re able to show your mother a beach house and then hand her the keys to it. That was one of the happiest moments of my life.

777. I have no delusions that I’m the only source of improving people’s lives or that I’m even the right source. My style is intense, and it’s not going to be right for everybody.

778. Stop bullshitting yourself. You’re not satisfied. You lowered your standards and are settling for a lot less.

779. Don’t be afraid of new ideas. Be afraid of old ideas. They keep you where you are and stop you from growing and moving forward. Concentrate on where you want to go, not on what you fear.

780. 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.

781. It’s not about your resources, it’s about your resourcefulness.

782. Most people manage pain by eating, drinking, smoking, distracting themselves, working harder. That’s just managing pain, the pain that comes from not feeling fully alive from not growing.

783. People who succeed at the highest level are not lucky; they’re doing something differently than everyone else.

784. Our idea of a real problem is someone else’s idea of an ultimate dream. Put the ‘problem’ in perspective.

785. Many people try to avoid pressure, yet the absence of any tension or pressure usually creates a sense of boredom and the lackluster experience of life that so many people complain about.

786. “Beliefs are either the keys to your freedom,
Or they can also become the giant locks to the prison
That keeps you from achieving what you want.”

787. Whatever people do, they do for a reason and they think that it meets their needs….by their perception.

788. Decisions are the doorway to change.

789. We’re all going to face extreme stress in our lives, there’s no one who is going to escape that. That’s the one thing, rich or poor, I don’t care who you are, you’re going to lose.

790. It is your decisions, and not your conditions, that determine your destiny.

791. As soon as you truly commit to making something happen, the ‘how’ will reveal itself.

792. Personal power is the ability to take action.

793. We live in a culture that expects instantaneous gratification for everything, and the web has only enhanced that in many ways. It empowers in many ways, but it also makes people believe ‘I should have everything right now.

794. The way to expand our lives is to model the lives of those people who are already succeeding.

795. It’s not that diabetes, heart disease, and obesity runs in your family…It’s that no one runs in you family!

796. Because the challenges will continue to show up in life, but if you have the inner strength – whether that be your faith, your determination or your incredible love for self, for God and for others – then I think you’ll have the capacity to live a life that’s extremely fulfilled.

797. Success leaves clues, but they must be acted upon.

798. Beliefs help us tap the richest resources deep within us, creating & directing these resources to support our desired outcome.

799. Without gratitude and appreciation for what you already have, you’ll never know true fulfillment.

800. Nothing in life has any meaning except the meaning you give it.

801. If you can’t, you must. If you must, you can. Most people fail in life because they major in minor things. Quality questions create a quality life. Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers. It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.

802. Make it so today is not like yesterday and tomorrow will be different FOREVER.

803. Ultimately the way to win the game of life, is found in only one thing: Our ability to choose meaning in any life circumstance. Become the master of meaning and you master your life.

804. In the end, money should serve something greater than just money. It should serve you, your family, the people you want to touch.

805. 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 first taking some form of positive action toward its attainment.

806. I was working as hard as a human being could work. That tempo hasn’t changed. I just have more diversity and more companies, and now I’ve got 33 companies so my dance card is full. Four kids and three grandkids, but I love that passionate lifestyle. I love constantly growing, I love seeing and feeling that you can have an impact. And gradually it went from just coaching to actually running businesses because I’ve had experiences that were life changing.

807. Your current conditions do not reflect your ultimate potential, but rather the size and quality of goals upon which you currently are focusing.

808. Identify your problems but give your power and energy to solutions.

809. 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.

810. It sounds so stupid, so basic, but when you are really in a grateful state, you are like a magnet for joy.

811. Determination is the wake-up call to the human will.
