You have to commit to the what, before the how shows up.

It's surprising how many people get bogged down in analysing, planning, and organizing when what they really need to do is take action.

When Olympic decathlon gold medalist Bruce Jenner asked a roomful of Olympic hopefuls if they had a list of written goals, every one raised their hands. When he asked how many of them had that list with them right that moment, only one person raised their hand. That person was Dan O'Brien. And it was Dan O'Brien who went on to win the gold medal in the decathlon at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. Don't underestimate the power of setting goals and constantly reviewing them.

Almost everything we'll ever do in life that is really powerful, that really produces a result in our lives, that quantum-leaps us to a new level . . . requires us to do something uncomfortable. It takes risks to achieve. It's often scary. It requires something you didn't know before or a skill you didn't have before. But in the end, it's worth it. As former Congressman Ed Forman says, 'Winners are those people who make a habit of doing things losers are uncomfortable doing.' Make today your day to start that uncomfortable new habit.

I consider myself to be an inverse paranoid. I always operate as if everything is part of a universal plot to enhance my well-being.

My definition of success is "the fulfillment of your soul's purpose."

Love and fear are the two opposite ends of the continuum, as far as I'm concerned. When we are not in love, we are in fear.
