If you're gonna make a change, you're gonna have to operate from a new belief that says life happens not to me but for me.

The quality of one's life is directly related to the quality of questions one asks oneself.

The best way to get a better answer is to start asking a better question.

If you ever hear yourself or anyone you care about starting to express the belief that a problem is permanent, it’s time to immediately shake that person loose. No matter what happens in your life, you’ve got to be able to believe, 'This, too, shall pass,' and that if you keep persisting, you’ll find a way.

Labor is service and service is life. And when we serve something more than ourselves, we feel alive.

You must find something you want to live for that's bigger than yourself - a mission - whether it's your children, a business, a non-profit, whatever. That pulls you to achieve, which is far more sustainable than to push yourself to. You can only push yourself for so long.

If you tell yourself a lie long enough, you'll start to believe it.
