No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your identity.”

“Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.
No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your identity.”
“Never be so tied to your former acquaintances and friends that you are pulled down to their level.
You must choose to be loved by these friends and remain the same person or become a better person at the cost of those friends”
“Seek wealth, not money or status.
Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep.
Money is how we transfer time and wealth.
You will never get wealthy renting out your time.”
“Fear is the primary color of the amateur.
Fear of failure. Fear of success. Fear of looking foolish. Fear of underachieving.
The amateur fears that if he turns pro and lives out his calling, he will have to live up to who he really is.”
“The obstacle in the path becomes the path. Never forget, within every obstacle is an opportunity to improve our condition.
The impediment to action advances action.
What stands in the way becomes the way.”
“One cannot be free from the stresses of a speed-and size-obsessed culture until you are free from the materialistic addictions,
time-famine mind-set,
and comparative impulses that created it in the first place.”
“The more scared we are of a work or calling, the more sure we can be that we have to do it.
It’s better to be in the arena, getting stomped by the bull, than to be up in the stands or out in the parking lot.”
“Stillness. To be steady while the world spins around you.
You can't escape, with your body, problems that exist in your mind and soul. You can't run away from your choices—you can only fix them with better choices.”
“It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else’s life with perfection”
“Activity is often unrelated to productivity.
Busyness rarely takes care of business.
Success is about doing the right thing.
Not about doing everything right.”
“Knowing who we are is hard.
Eliminate who we're not first, and we'll find ourselves where we need to be.
Sometimes which choice you make is not as important as making a choice and committing to it”
“It is impossible to build one’s own happiness on the unhappiness of others”
“When we remove ego, we’re left with what is real.
What replaces ego is humility, yes—but rock-hard humility and confidence.
Whereas ego is artificial, this type of confidence can hold weight.
Ego is stolen.
Confidence is earned.”
A child has no trouble believing the unbelievable, nor does the genius or the madman.
It’s only you and I, with our big brains & our tiny hearts, who doubt, overthink & hesitate.
The song we’re composing already exists, it’s our job to find it.”
“Money’s greatest intrinsic value—and this can’t be overstated—is its ability to give you control over your time.”
“80% of the results come from 20% of the causes.
A few things are important; most are not.”
“The starting point of all achievement is DESIRE.
Keep this constantly in mind.
Weak desire brings weak results just as a small fire makes a small amount of heat.
You are the master of your destiny.”
“Too many people are focused too much on money and not on their greatest wealth, which is their education.
Intelligence solves problems and produces money. Money without financial intelligence is money soon gone.”
“Every time you confront something painful, you are at a potentially important juncture in your life—
You have the opportunity to choose healthy and painful truth or unhealthy but comfortable delusion.”
“You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.”
