If you want anything to change, you've got to change it. If you want things to get better, you've got to get better. And the only way to really do well in life is to find more value than anybody.

Nothing has any power over me other than that which I give it through my conscious thoughts.

Basically, you can live your life in one of two ways. You can let your brain run you the way it has in the past. You can let it flash any picture or sound or feeling, and you can respond automatically on cue, like a Pavlovian dog resp‎onding to a bell. Or you can choose to consciously run your brain yourself. You can implant the cues you want. You can take bad experiences and sap them of their strength and power. You can represent them to yourself in a way that no longer overpowers you, a way that "cuts them down" to a size where you know you can effectively handle things.

When people are like each other they tend to like each other.

You don't lack resources. You lack resourcefulness .

Most individuals work much harder to hang on to what they have than to take the necessary risk to shoot for their dreams.

If I’m committed, there is always a way.
