By Joe DePalma

One short quote can have as much impact as a
semester’s worth of lectures.
“Life Law #6: There is no reality; only perception. Strategy: Identify the filters through which you view the world.”
-DR. PHIL MCGRAW
“The truth of the matter is that there’s nothing you can’t accomplish if: (1) you clearly decide what it is that you’re absolutely committed to achieving, (2) you’re willing to take massive action, (3) you notice what’s working or not, and (4) you continue to change your approach until you achieve what you want, using whatever life gives you along the way.”
-ANTHONY ROBBINS
“Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.”
-THE DALAI LAMA
“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.”
-DALE CARNEGIE
“Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become.”
-JIM ROHN
“You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a different one; each day brings a miracle of its own. It’s just a matter of paying attention to this miracle.”
-PAULO COELHO
“No man ever achieved worthwhile success, who did not at one time or another find himself with at least one foot hanging well over the brink of failure.”
-NAPOLEON HILL
“Treasure the love you receive above all. It will survive long after your gold and good health have vanished.”
-OG MANDINO
“In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you.”
-DEEPAK CHOPRA

-STEPHEN COVEY
“People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.”
-JACK CANFIELD

-JIM ROHN
“It’s your attitude, not your aptitude, that determines your altitude.”
-ZIG ZIGLAR
“People who want the most approval get the least, and people who need approval the least get the most.”

-KAHLIL GIBRAN
“The greatest mistake we make is living in constant fear that we will make one.”

-ROBERT ALLEN
“We are both burdened and blessed by the great responsibility of free will—the power of choice. Our future is determined, in large part, by the choices we make now. We cannot always control our circumstances, but we can and do choose our response to whatever arises. Reclaiming the power of choice, we find the courage to live fully in the world.”
-DAN MILLMAN
“Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation. Your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.”
-DALE CARNEGIE

-JOHN GRAY
“The process of living encourages you to leap and to fly, to run and to soar, to meander and to piddle, to embrace and to release. What you tell yourself about your ability to do one or all of these things at any given time determines how hard life will be for you.”
-IYANLA VANZANT
“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.”
-LES BROWN
“Most people are doing the best they can, given what they know and understand. Including you. If they knew more and were aware of more, they would do things differently.”
-LOUISE HAY
“No one lives long enough to learn everything they need to learn starting from scratch. To be successful, we absolutely, positively have to find people who have already paid the price to learn the things that we need to learn to achieve our goals.”
-BRIAN TRACY
“Here is how we are different from those wonderful plants and animals. As long as we can love each other and remember the feeling of love we had, we can die without ever really going away. All the love you created is still there. All the memories are still there. You live on in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nurtured while you were here. Death ends a life, not a relationship.”
-MITCH ALBOM
“If you want to be successful, find someone who has achieved the results you want and copy what they do and you’ll achieve the same results.”
-ANTHONY ROBBINS
“We are at our very best, and we are happiest, when we are fully engaged in work we enjoy on the journey toward the goal we’ve established for ourselves. It gives meaning to our time off and comfort to our sleep. It makes everything else in life so wonderful, so worthwhile.”
-EARL NIGHTINGALE
“We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?” Actually, who are you not to be?”
-MARIANNE WILLIAMSON
“To be identified with your mind is to be trapped in time—the compulsion to live almost exclusively through memory and anticipation. This creates an endless preoccupation with past and future and an unwillingness to honor and acknowledge the present moment and allow it to be. The compulsion arises because the past gives you an identity and the future holds the promise of salvation, of fulfillment in whatever form. Both are illusions.”
-ECKHART TOLLE
“Every memorable act in the history of the world is a triumph of enthusiasm. Nothing great was ever achieved without it because it gives any challenge or any occupation, no mater how frightening or difficult, a new meaning. Without enthusiasm you are doomed to a life of mediocrity, but with it you can accomplish miracles.”
-OG MANDINO
“If you want to win friends, make it a point to remember them. If you remember my name, you pay me a subtle compliment; you indicate that I have made an impression on you. Remember my name, and you add to my feeling of importance.”
-DALE CARNEGIE
“If God had wanted us to talk more than listen, He would have given us two mouths rather than two ears.”

“Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see possibilities—always see them, for they’re always there.”
-NORMAN VINCENT PEALE
“When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal.”
-NAPOLEON HILL
“Do you really want to look back on your life and see how wonderful it could have been had you not been afraid to live it?”
-CAROLINE MYSS
“The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you partly control your own destiny.”
-ALBERT ELLIS
“Too often we underestimate the power of touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”

“Work as though you would live forever, and live as though you would die today.”

“Formal education will make you a living; self education will make you a fortune.”

“People who are optimistic see a failure as due to something that can be changed so that they can succeed next time around, while pessimists take the blame for the failure, ascribing it to some characteristic they are helpless to change.”
-DANIEL GOLEMAN
“Be aware of wonder. Live a balanced life—learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.”
-ROBERT FULGHUM
“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and go do that because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

“Recovery begins with embracing our pain and taking the risk to share it with others. We do this by joining a group and talking about our pain.”
-JOHN BRADSHAW

-WAYNE DYER
“If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you got a problem. Everything else is inconvenience.”

With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident, and more and more successful.”
-MARK VICTOR HANSEN
“Life Law #8: We teach people how to treat us.
Strategy: Own, rather than complain, about how people treat you.”
