"If there is a gap between your current reality and your desired reality, here’s the reason: There is a limit that must be released and replaced in one of three areas: A limit in your Mindset—you entertain a low belief in yourself, your capabilities, what you deserve, or what is possible. A limit in your Motivation—you lack the drive, purpose, or energy to take action. A limit in your Methods—you were taught and are acting on a process that is not effective to create the results you desire."
— Jim Kwik, Limitless

"In the end, it’s not about what you achieve but who you become."

"Every thought-seed sown or allowed to fall into the mind, and to take root there, produces its own, blossoming sooner or later into act, and bearing its own fruitage of opportunity and circumstance. Good thoughts bear good fruit, bad thoughts bear bad fruit."
— James Allen, As a Man Thinketh
"Every statement we make to ourselves, enters into the mental bank account of our confidence and either drives it upward or drags it down."

"Accepting complete responsibility for your life means that you refuse to make excuses or blame others for anything in your life that you’re not happy about. You refuse, from this moment forward, to criticize others for any reason. You refuse to complain about your situation or about what has happened in the past. You eliminate all your if-onlys and what-ifs and focus instead on what you really want and where you are going."
— Brian Tracy, Focal Point
"Here is the first step toward success. It’s a basic step. It can’t be avoided. Step one: believe in yourself, believe you can succeed."
