A friend is someone who supports you in being all that you
are and won’t settle for you being less than that.
Choose how to behave regardless of how you feel.
Reasons only help you to sound reasonable. They have
nothing to do with getting what you want in life.
Willingness is senior to everything.
Who would you be if you altered your relationship to the
idea of discomfort?
The quality of your life comes down to:
1) What you can
confront.
2) The contribution you make to others.
There are two pains in life.
The pain of discipline and the
pain of regret.
In the long run the pain of discipline weighs
ounces while the pain of regret weighs tons.
Power is never given. It is assumed.
What you can’t understand is a direct result of what you
already understand.
Need is nothing. Willingness is everything.
All of life arises out of choice.
The choice is simple.
Do what’s required now or repeat
history.
Each time you flinch the game gets smaller.
You will have what you create.
There’s nothing wrong with you other than you have been scaring yourself to death.
Doing more of what doesn’t work-doesn’t work.
Giving it your best shot doesn’t count. You have to do
what’s required.
Pretending that you are not suffering consequences from
your current behavior doesn’t make the consequences any
less real.
WINNER: One who chooses workable behavior over comfort.
LOSER: One who chooses comfort over workable behavior.
“Trying” provides two excuses.
An excuse for not “doing” and an excuse for not “having.”
Not focusing on your bigness is insane.
The problem with the truth is that it’s always relentless.
It’s not that you know something but how you know it.
Every action we take in life is an action of self definition.
There are no workable answers to unworkable questions.
The beginning of definiteness is the end of confusion.
What you are resisting is limiting what you can be.
Seek not to find out who you are.
Seek to determine who you
shall be.
Stop playing petty games-if you choose to have more-become
more.
Above all choose a game worth playing and play it with
intensity.
Play every point as if it were match point.
Never allow comfort to determine your behavior.
It’s your choice.
Are you going to make excuses or are you
going to take a stand?
Trying is just a noisy way of not doing something.
The slave is the one who waits for someone to come along
and free him.
Choosing comfort over workable behavior costs you your integrity.
There is no satisfaction except for the satisfaction you create.
Power is never given. It is assumed.
Does it make sense to win little games while losing bigger more fulfilling games by default?
People act and react to the world on the basis of what they know, whether what they know is real or not.
Intention is not trying to get something done.
It’s
accepting responsibility for getting it done.
If you don’t want to win-no one will stop you.
You are already responsible for your life.
The only question
is, “will you acknowledge that?”
“Try” is a non word.
A dream without the courage to take action and back it up is reduced to nothing more than a wish.
The time has come to choose to be the master of your fate or a perpetual victim.
You are choosing your destiny this moment.
The acid test of an education is success.
