Success is cutting off all of your options for failure.

The "I've tried everything" story ensures failure. You must create an empowering story that recognizes that everyone has failed a lot but successful people have found a way to rebound until they succeed.

We don't get our shoulds, we get our musts.

Surmounting difficulty is the crucible that forms character.

The truth is that even in the information age, information is not enough. 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. Action is what unites every great success. Action is what produces results. Knowledge is only potential power until it comes into the hands of someone who knows how to get himself to take effective action. In fact, the literal definition of the word "power" is "the ability to act."

If we can get to the truth, we can change anything.

We're not happy unless we feel like we're growing.
