People submit too easily to change from others. And yet, for some reason, whenever they consider changing themselves, the focus is always on what they are giving up, never what they are about to gain.

In this world of half-jobs and liars, I will prevail.

I should become happier at what I do and leave others happier than before they’d met me.

Trust me. If you do not decide where you are heading, and refuse to take the appropriate action, you will end up being shaped into what others would have you become. Then any change will not be made for your benefit but for theirs.

Until you take the first step forward, failure remains reassuringly impossible.

Dreaming and becoming are completely separate parts of the process. However, they are both as important as each other. Never discount how powerful your dreams are. If you cannot visualise what it is you wish to become, then the brain doesn't have the first clue how to get you there.

Listen to people from your heart, as if your life depended on it, and you will find that in turn people will listen to you with all of theirs.
