Decision / Action

• “A real decision is measured by the fact that you’ve taken a new action. If there’s no action, you haven’t truly decided.”
• “If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.”
• “In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It’s not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.”
• “You are now at a crossroads. This is your opportunity to make the most important decision you will ever make. Forget your past. Who are you now? Who have you decided you really are now? Don’t think about who you have been. Who are you now? Who have you decided to become? Make this decision consciously. Make it carefully. Make it powerfully.”
• “It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.”
• “Remember, a real decision is measured by the fact that you’ve taken new action. If there’s no action, you haven’t truly decided.”
• “Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.”
• “Using the power of decision gives you the capacity to get past any excuse to change any and every part of your life in an instant.”
• “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.”
• “Personal power is the ability to take action.”
• “You must know that in any moment a decision you make can change the course of your life forever: the very next person stand behind in line or sit next to on an airplane, the very next phone call you make or receive, the very next movie you see or book you read or page you turn could be the one single thing that causes the floodgates to open, and all of the things that you’ve been waiting for to fall into place.”
• “How am I going to live today in order to create the tomorrow I’m committed to?”
• “It not knowing what to do, it’s doing what you know.”

Beliefs

• “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.”
• “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.”
• “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.”
• “All personal breakthroughs being with a change in beliefs. So how do we change? The most effective way is to get your brain to associate massive pain to the old belief. You must feel deep in your gut that not only has this belief cost you pain in the past, but it’s costing you in the present and, ultimately, can only bring you pain in the future. Then you must associate tremendous pleasure to the idea of adopting a new, empowering belief.”

Change

• “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. When people ask me what really changed my life eight years ago, I tell them that absolutely the most important thing 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.”
• “Commit to C A N I ! – Constant And Never-ending Improvement.”

Success / Achievement

• “Most people have no idea of the giant capacity we can immediately command when we focus all of our resources on mastering a single area of our lives.”
• “Once you have mastered time, you will understand how true it is that most people overestimate what they can accomplish in a year – and underestimate what they can achieve in a decade!”
• “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.”
• “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?”
• “The path to success is to take massive, determined action.”
• “There’s no abiding success without commitment.”
• “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.”
• “People who fail to achieve their goals usually get stopped by frustration. 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. I doubt you’ll find many successful people who have not experienced this. All successful people learn that success is buried on the other side of frustration.”
• “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.”
• “Determination is the wake-up call to the human will.”

Contribution

• “It is not what we get. But who we become, what we contribute… that gives meaning to our lives.”
• “Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.”
• “Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life’s deepest joy: true fulfillment.”
• “I discovered a long time ago that if I helped people get what they wanted, I would always get what I wanted and I would never have to worry.”

Passion

• “Live with passion!”
• “Passion is the genesis of genius.”

Goals

• “People are not lazy. They simply have impotent goals – that is, goals that do not inspire them.”
• “Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.”
• “Goals are a means to an end, not the ultimate purpose of our lives. They are simply a tool to concentrate our focus and move us in a direction. The only reason we really pursue goals is to cause ourselves to expand and grow. Achieving goals by themselves will never make us happy in the long term; it’s who you become, as you overcome the obstacles necessary to achieve your goals, that can give you the deepest and most long-lasting sense of fulfillment.”
• “The most important thing you can do to achieve your goals is to make sure that as soon as you set them, you immediately begin to create momentum. The most important rules that I ever adopted to help me in achieving my goals were those I learned from a very successful man who taught me to first write down the goal, and then to never leave the site of setting a goal without first taking some form of positive action toward its attainment.”

Energy / Health

• “The higher your energy level, the more efficient your body. The more efficient your body, the better you feel and the more you will use your talent to produce outstanding results.”
• “Remember, 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.”

Pain / Pleasure

• “The truth is that we can learn to condition our minds, bodies, and emotions to link pain or pleasure to whatever we choose. By changing what we link pain and pleasure to, we will instantly change our behaviors.”
• “The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you do that, you’re in control of your life. If you don’t, life controls you.”
• “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.”

Communication

• “The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives.”
• “To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others.”

Questions

• “Questions provide the key to unlocking our unlimited potential.”
• “Quality questions create a quality life. Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers.”

Failure / Problems

• “You always succeed in producing a result.”
• “There is no such thing as failure. There are only results.”
• “When you temporarily run aground, remember that there are no failures in life. There are only results. Consider the adage: Success is the result of good judgment, good judgment is the result of experience, and experience is often the result of bad judgment.”
• “If we don’t see a failure as a challenge to modify our approach, but rather as a problem with ourselves, as a personality defect, we will immediately feel overwhelmed.”
• “Surmounting difficulty is the crucible that forms character.”
• “The only people without problems are those in cemeteries.”
• “Let fear be a counselor and not a jailer.”
• “The past doesn’t equal the future.”
• “Nothing has any power over me other than that which I give it through my conscious thoughts.”

Life

• “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.”
• “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.”
• “Take control of your consistent emotions and begin to consciously and deliberately reshape your daily experience of life.”
• “In life you need either inspiration or desperation.”
• “Most people fail in life because they major in minor things.”
• “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.”
