If the truth isn't enough, then you must become stronger at presenting it.
For things to change, you have to change. For things to be different, you have to be different. Before financial success can occur personal growth must occur.
Count the cost first. Don’t pay too big a price for pursuing minor values.
Those who seek a better life must first become a better person.
Giving is better than receiving because giving starts the receiving process.
The most important question to ask is "What am I becoming?"
I used to say, ‘Things cost too much.’ Then my teacher straightened me out on that by saying, ‘The problem isn’t that things cost too much. The problem is that you can’t afford it.’ That’s when I finally understood that the problem wasn’t ‘it’-the problem was ‘me.’
Emotions will either serve or master, depending on who is in charge.
If you will change everything will change for you. Don’t wait for things to change. Change doesn’t start out there, change starts within....All change starts with you.
If you are not financially independent by the time you are forty or fifty, it doesn't mean that you are living in the wrong country or at the wrong time. It simply means that you have the wrong plan.
I remember saying to my mentor, 'If I had more money, I would have a better plan.' He quickly responded, 'I would suggest that if you had a better plan, you would have more money.' You see, it's not the amount that counts; it's the plan that counts.
Big achievements come one small advantage at a time, one step at a time, one day at time.
Develop a childlike fascination with life and people.
Life, in all its uniqueness, would not be life without the negatives and the positives.
Your family and your love must be cultivated like a garden. Time, effort, and imagination must be summoned constantly to keep any relationship flourishing and growing.
Success is not so much what we have as it is what we are.
What you become directly influences what you get.
Asking is the beginning of receiving. Make sure you don't go to the ocean with a teaspoon. At least take a bucket so the kids won't laugh at you.
Don't join an easy crowd; you won't grow.
Measure your emotions. You don't need an atomic explosion for a minor point.
For things to change, you have to change.
motivation alone is not enough.if you have an idiot and you motivate him,now you have a motivated idiot.
Ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance is poverty. Ignorance is devastation. Ignorance is tragedy. And ignorance is illness. It all stems from ignorance.
Attitude determines choice, and choice determines results. All that we are, and all that we can become has indeed been left unto us.
Don't become a victim of yourself. Forget about the thief waiting in the alley; what about the thief in your mind?
