Life, never deciding to master anything in particular.

Problems are the gifts that make us dig out and figure out who we are, what we're made for, and what we're responsible to give back to life.

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.

Most people fail in life because they major in minor things.

There's always a way - if you're committed.

Any time you sincerely want to make a change, the first thing you must do is to raise your standards.

You don't lack resources. You lack resourcefulness .
