“Gratitude is a choice. It can become a positive habit -- but only with discipline. With continued exercise, practicing gratitude will create more abundance, prosperity, well-being, and happiness than you ever thought possible. In order to create abundance you must first acknowledge and appreciate the abundance you already have.”

- From Living Your Best Year Ever by Darren Hardy

“Research has proven that practicing gratitude improves our emotional and physical well-being; reduces stress, worry, fear, anxiety and the conditions closely associated with these emotions such as high blood pressure, depression, heart disease, and immune system deficiencies. Gratitude can save and prolong your life.”

“Gratitude is the attitude that changes everything. An attitude of gratitude adjusts your mind to focus on the positive. Thus you’ll see, discover and create more of the same, experiencing more abundance, prosperity, well-being, love, joy, and happiness.”

“Learning to set goals is the master skill of success. Without goals your life is like a boat without a rudder. You drift along with the current, inevitably crashing onto the rocks time and time again. Proper goal-setting puts you in a speedboat and gives you a target to steer towards. You will go directly to your destination and arrive with great speed.”

“The two strategies used by almost all great achievers are:

1. An unyielding commitment to constant learning; and

2. Clearly written goals that have specific plans laid out to achieve them.”

“Your mind doesn’t care about the size of your goals. If you set little goals you’ll achieve little goals; if you set big goals you can achieve big goals. And for the most part it takes just as much time, energy, and life force to achieve big goals as it does little ones. Go BIG!“

“We can ALL become a “genius” and reach mastery in any area of our life, if we commit to a process of deliberate and purposeful improvement. Deliberate improvement requires a mindset of never, ever, being satisfied with your current ability. It requires a constant self-critique, a capacity for daily disappointment and failure and a never-ending resolve to dust oneself off and to try again and again and again.”

“A constant awareness and never-ending commitment to growth and continual improvement is what will catapult you forward, enabling you to achieve what before seemed impossible goals.  To achieve what you have never been able to achieve before you have to grow and improve yourself to levels beyond where you are now.  Your commitment to ongoing improvement is what will get you there.”

“The “magic” is becoming the person you should be in order to attract the people or results you want to achieve.”

- From Living Your Best Year Ever by Darren Hardy

“No matter what it is you want to change -- your marriage, your financial situation, your weight -- you’ll never achieve lasting change until YOU change.  Once YOU improve, everything else around you will improve.  It’s important to understand that you don’t get in life what you want; you get in life what you are.  You will only achieve the level of success in your life that equals your level of self-worth.  When it comes to achieving your goals, remember that it is not your goals that need to be worked on; it is YOU.  You can only have, be or do what you feel you are worthy of.  The key is to raise your set point, or self worth, self-esteem, mindset, attitude, philosophy, and character.  When those get raised, everything in your life will be raised with them.”
