Brian Tracy Quotes

People are not disturbed by things, but by the view they take of them.

The greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances. We carry the seeds of the one or the other about with us in our minds wherever we go.

The truth is that stress doesn't come from your boss, your kids, your spouse, traffic jams, health challenges, or other circumstances. It comes from your thoughts about these circumstances.

It's not what happens in life that bothers us. It's what we're believing about it that bothers us.

We are not disturbed by what happens to us, but by our thoughts about what happens to us.

The truth is that there is no actual stress or anxiety in the world; it's your thoughts that create these false beliefs. You can't package stress, touch it, or see it. There are only people engaged in stressful thinking.

Its not stress that kills us, it is our reaction to it.

Remember that stress doesn't come from what's going on in your life. It comes from your thoughts about what's going on in your life.

A lot of things that happen in the world make me a bit crazy.

Things happen to us and reaction is sometimes tough to measure.

You might not be able to control your circumstances, but you can control your response to your circumstances.

Men are disturbed not by things, but by the view which they take of them.

The greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not our circumstances.

I do think non-linearly. So I think that comes off as nervousness or anxiety in a person.

When you have a traumatic experience, you look at your mindset.

I think that whenever you feel reactive or are being reactive as opposed to proactive, that inherently - consciously or subconsciously - creates a lot of stress.

I believe when things are going well, there's pressure, and when things are going bad, there's pressure. The pressure is more on the outside than inside.

I think people who go through a lot, they're aggressive.

Pressure is self-inflicted.

'Pressure' is not a word that I associate with very much; it is a matter of perspective. It depends on your disposition as a person. It can either be that you are pressurised by something, or you can be motivated and encouraged by it.

I get nervous when I don't get nervous.

Stress is never a given. There are people who get divorced amicably. There are people who pack up and move with no emotional toll. There is no stressor 'out there' in the world. We experience stress - or we don't - depending on what we believe.

The basic root of happiness lies in our minds; outer circumstances are nothing more than adverse or favourable.

Things themselves don't hurt or hinder us. Things simply are what they are. How we view these things is another matter.People think what they will think; it is of no concern to us.

An emotion is both a mental and a physical event.
