All too often, the security of a mediocre present is more comfortable than the adventure of trying to be more in the future.

How do you turn the invisible into the visible? The first step is to define your dream precisely; the only limit to what you can achieve is the extent of your ability to define with precision that which you desire.

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.

Have you ever said, 'I can't do that! I'm just not like that!'? If you've ever used this phrase, you've hit the boundary of how you've defined yourself in the past, and it's affecting the quality of your present-day life. Ask yourself, 'Where did these beliefs about who I am come from, and how old are they?' Maybe it's time to update your identity.

The only way a relationship will last is if you see it as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take.

And always remember the ultimate truth: life is not about money, it's about emotion.

If all we needed were ideas and positive thinking, then we all would have had ponies when we were kids and we would all be living our "dream life" now.
