“Long term, your beliefs determine your destiny.”

- From Everything is Figureoutable by Marie Forleo

“Every belief has a consequence. Your beliefs either heal you or harm you. They either support your aspirations or thwart them. Belief becomes the source of your limitation or your liberation. It doesn’t matter what’s true, it matters what you believe.”

- From Everything is Figureoutable by Marie Forleo

“If we believe that it’s not possible to improve, then in reality it won’t be possible to improve.”

“We become what we think about.”

- From The Strangest Secret by Earl Nightingale

“The man who thinks he can and the man who thinks he can't are both right.”

- Confucius

“A man is what he thinks about all day long.”

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Every one of us is the sum total of all of our thoughts.”

- Earl Nightingale

“Every man is what he is because of the dominating thoughts which he permits to occupy his mind. It is essential for you to encourage the positive emotions as dominating forces of your mind, and discourage—and eliminate negative emotions… First: I know that I have the ability to achieve the object of my definite purpose in life; therefore, I demand of myself persistent, continuous action toward its attainment, and I here and now promise to render such action. Second: I realize the dominating thoughts of my mind will eventually reproduce themselves in outward, physical action, and gradually transform themselves into physical reality; therefore, I will concentrate my thoughts for thirty minutes daily, upon the task of thinking of the person I intend to become, thereby creating in my mind a clear mental picture.”

- From Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

“Self-image is essentially how you view yourself—what strengths and weaknesses you believe you possess and what you believe you are capable of achieving…The self-image governs how successful any individual becomes because it motivates and shapes work ethic and effort. In this way, self-image is like a thermostat. If you set the thermostat at 72 degrees Fahrenheit and the room drops to 71 degrees, the thermostat then sends a message to the heater to get to work. Warm air rushes into the room, and the room warms up to 72 degrees. When the room reaches 73 degrees, the thermostat tells the heater to stop working. All day long, the thermostat governs the temperature in the room and won’t allow the room temperature to rise or drop from the desired temperature for long. Human beings are the same way: we neither outperform nor underperform our self-image for long. That’s why it is so important to set your self-image gauge high enough to achieve your life goals. Set your self-image gauge too low, and by definition, you’ll underachieve, because your mind won’t call for the motivation to achieve more…CREATE YOUR VISION OF SELF-IMAGE: Take 30 seconds every day to visualize who you want to be and how you want life to turn out, and dramatically increase the likelihood of achieving your win.”

- From Executive Toughness by Jason Selk

“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!“

- From Living Your Best Year Ever by Darren Hardy

“The universal principle is, ‘You become what you think about most of the time.’ Top people think about their goals most of the time. Especially, the most successful people think about and talk about solutions to the inevitable and unavoidable problems that they face every single day. What do unhappy, unsuccessful people think and talk about? They think and talk about their problems, and who is to blame. The rule is, ‘What you think about, you bring about.’ Whatever you dwell on grows in your reality. If you think and talk about your problems, they increase and multiply. But when you think and talk about solutions, you continuously discover more and better solutions.”
