If you're not actively involved in getting what you want, you don't really want it.

One of the great joys of life is creativity. Information goes in, gets shuffled about, and comes out in new and interesting ways.

Fear is something to be moved through, not something to be turned from.

The news media are, for the most part, the bringers of bad news... and it's not entirely the media's fault, bad news gets higher ratings and sells more papers than good news.

To avoid situations in which you might make mistakes may be the biggest mistake of all.

It's your life. Live it with people who are alive. It tends to be contagious.

Definition of a victim: a person to whom life happens.

Our thoughts create our reality - where we put our focus is the direction we tend to go.

Guilt is anger directed at ourselves - at what we did or did not do. Resentment is anger directed at others - at what they did or did not do.

Mistakes show us what we need to learn.

While goals are chosen, a purpose is discovered. Our purpose is something we have been doing all along, and will continue to do, regardless of circumstances, until the day we die.

Be willing to be uncomfortable. Be comfortable being uncomfortable. It may get tough, but it's a small price to pay for living a dream.

The media tends to report rumors, speculations, and projections as facts... How does the media do this? By quoting some 'expert'... you can always find some expert who will say something hopelessly hopeless about anything.

To overcome a fear, here's all you have to do: realize the fear is there, and do the action you fear anyway.

What's more important-your goal, or others' opinions of your goal?

If you change the belief first, changing the action is easier.

Choosing what you want to do, and when to do it, is an act of creation.

To the degree we're not living our dreams, our comfort zone has more control of us than we have over ourselves.

The road to positivity is strewn with the abandoned vehicles of the faint-hearted.

Comfort zones are most often expanded through discomfort.

Do what you love and the necessary resources will follow.

I see nothing wrong with the human trait to desire. In fact, I consider it integral to our success mechanism. Becoming attached to what we desire is what causes the trouble. If you must have it in order to be happy, then you are denying the happiness of the here and now.

Life is not a struggle. It's a wiggle.

We can consciously end our life almost anytime we choose. This ability is an endowment, like laughing and blushing, given to no other animal... in any given moment, by not exercising the option of suicide, we are choosing to live.

As the world gets dumber and dumber, I feel more and more at home.
