I worked from 10 p.m. until 1 a.m. every night for a year to write the first Chicken Soup for the Soul book.

One of the things I tell people in my seminars is to hang out with positive, nurturing people. You become like who you hang out with.

Your habits will determine your future.

The things that bring you the greatest joy are in alignment with your purpose.

It's the feeling that really creates the attraction, not just the picture or the thought. A lot of people think, “If I think the positive thoughts, or if I visualize having what I want, that will be enough.” But if you're doing that and still not feeling abundant, or feeling loving or joyful, then it doesn't create the power of the attraction.

You only have control over three things in your life-the thoughts you think, the images you visualise, & the actions you take.

The Law of Attraction states that you will attract to you those things that match your state of being. If you focus on having gratitude for what you do have, you will feel rich, and you will attract more abundance into your life. If you focus on what you don't have, you will send out a message of lack and you will attract more lack into your life.
