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

   

Learn to ask for what you want. The worst people can do is not give you what you ask for which is precisely where you were before you asked.

   

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

   

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

   

Nothing adventured, nothing attained.

   

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

   

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.

   

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.

   

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

   

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

   

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

   

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

   

Mistakes show us what we need to learn.

   

Comfort zones are most often expanded through discomfort.

   

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.

   

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.

   

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.

   

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

   

We are all, right now, living the life we choose.

   

Do what you love and the necessary resources will follow.
