When you live for a strong purpose, then hard work isn't an option. It's a necessity.

If you don’t take the time to get really clear about exactly what it is you’re trying to accomplish, then you’re forever doomed to spend your life achieving the goals of those who do.

I believe we can proactively choose to believe whatever we want instead of merely letting our beliefs coalesce as reactions to events.

Curiosity is more flexible and practical than belief.

It's a serious character weakness to think you can get something of value for little or nothing, to believe that life will flood you with abundance when you won't commit yourself to delivering your best contribution in exchange. In fact, it's a safe bet that you'll subconsciously sabotage yourself from being in such a place for long. You won't allow yourself to receive what you don't feel you've earned. To receive life's bounty, you must know without a doubt that you deserve it.

You must give before you can get.

When you reach the point of becoming independent of external events, you’re truly free.
