Favorite saying

• ""I’ve discovered that I am deeply and hopelessly and ferociously in love with this world. People ask how and why I’ve become “successful,” whatever that means, and I suppose that is it: I vitally love this world we are blessed to live in. Despite its conflicts and terrors and misfortunes, despite the ugly truth that a lack of consciousness leads too many people to be rude and hurtful, despite all those unfulfilled wishes and prayers that can, on any given day, soar and gather into dark clouds of despair—the world is, in my view, a delightful spinning mass of sensations and experiences, an orb of energy whose gravity is love, a remarkably bright, open and choice-filled playground for the soul." -Brendon Burchard "I've come to this belief that, if you show me a woman who can sit with a man in his real vulnerability, in deep fear, and be with him in it, I will show you a woman who, A, has done her work and, B, does not derive her power from that man. And if you show me a man who can sit with a woman in deep struggle and vulnerability and not try to fix it, but just hear her and be with her and hold space for it, I'll show you a guy who's done his work and a man who doesn't derive his power from controlling and fixing everything." -Brene Brown “Once we make our relationship choices in an adult way, a prospective partner who is unavailable, nonreciprocal, or not open to processing feelings and issues, becomes, by those very facts, unappealing. Once we love ourselves, people no longer look good to us unless they are good for us.” -David Richo "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." -Steve Jobs "You cannot let a fear of failure or a fear of comparison or a fear of judgment stop you from doing the things that will make you great. You cannot succeed without the risk of failure. You cannot have a voice without the risk of criticism. You cannot love without the risk of loss. You must take these risks." -Charlie Day "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 "Our only limitations are those we set up in our own minds." -Napoleon Hill "Mentality is reality." -Sean Stephenson "Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude." -Thomas Jefferson "Leadership is communicating others' worth and potential so clearly that they are inspired to see it in themselves." -Stephen R. Covey "The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen." -Elisabeth Kübler-Ross "Who said it could not be done? And what great victories has he to his credit which qualify him to judge others accurately?" -Napoleon Hill "Admit it. You aren't like them. You're not even close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider, watching the "normal people" as they go about their automatic existences. For every time you say club passwords like 'Have a nice day' and 'Weather's awful today, eh?', you yearn inside to say forbidden things like 'Tell me something that makes you cry' or 'What do you think deja vu is for?'. Face it, you even want to talk to that girl in the elevator. But what if that girl in the elevator (and the balding man who walks past your cubicle at work) are thinking the same thing? Who knows what you might learn from taking a chance on conversation with a stranger? Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others…" -Timothy Leary "Believe you can and you're halfway there." -Theodore Roosevelt "Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today." -Thomas Jefferson "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." -Winston Churchill "Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great." -Mark Twain "We should do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian Darwinian theory he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living." -Richard Buckminster Fuller "What we now want is closer contact and better understanding between individuals and communities all over the earth, and the elimination of egoism and pride which is always prone to plunge the world into primeval barbarism and strife... Peace can only come as a natural consequence of universal enlightenment..." -Nikola Tesla "There is no such thing as a little freedom. Either you are all free, or you are not free." -Walter Cronkite "Master your mind and you'll master your life." -Me "Whenever I think deeply on the fact that there could have been nothing in existence, and that neither I nor you would have existed at all, this feeling that I can't quite explain starts to burn inside me and permeate through my body. It truly is insane how we all exist. Existence in and of itself is the greatest gift, and the realization of this is the truest door to happiness." -Me"
