"It is my position that the author of our (life) stories is actually us. Perhaps the single greatest paradigm shift I’ve had as a human being is this idea: I am writing my story and I alone have the responsibility to shape it into something meaningful."
— Donald Miller, Hero on a Mission
"Nothing is going to change unless you change yourself first."
— Lanny Basham, With Winning In Mind
"It is who you are becoming each day based on the decisions that you are making and the actions that you are taking, that is determining who you are going to be for the rest of your life."
— Hal Elrod, The Miracle Morning for Real Estate Agents
"Heed the most important lesson of this book: You control your behavior. Your success is your personal responsibility. Take action. Do the first things first. Do what matters even if you don’t feel like it. Get up and give your number one priority the focus it deserves for at least fifteen minutes every morning. Your morning victories start with preparing properly the night before. You must have a plan in place to take action the next morning. The earlier you rise, the fewer opposing forces to your self-control, and the more momentum you’ll have to overcome the inertia of procrastination."
— Craig Ballantyne, The Perfect Day Formula
"If someone is not experiencing the levels of success they want, they simply haven’t committed to putting the necessary habits in place, which will create the results they want."
— Hal Elrod, The Miracle Morning for Real Estate Agents
"Everything that happens to you or for you in your life happens for specific causes, which lead to the effects that make up your life as it is today. If you want to change the effects, you must change the causes. If you want to change what you are getting out, you must change what you are putting in."
— Brian Tracy, Personal Success
"Everything that happens to us—good and bad—is our personal responsibility. We can blame no one else. These are the choices we’ve made—this is the life we’re living. We will accept the consequences of our actions."
— Craig Ballantyne, The Perfect Day Formula
"Anytime you are in the presence of adversity, ask yourself, ‘What is the one thing I can do that could make this better?’ Force yourself to give a substantive answer. (“I don’t know” is not an answer that will help.) You do not need perfection; all you need is improvement. Keep asking yourself the question until your problem is no longer an issue."
— Jason Selk, 10 Minute Toughness
"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."
— David Schwartz
"Every man is where he is by the law of his being; the thoughts which he has built into his character have brought him there, and in the arrangement of his life there is no element of chance, but all is the result of a law which cannot err."
- James Allen, As a Man Thinketh
"Everything outside you is a reflection of your own thinking. You are the storyteller, the projector of all stories, and the world is the projected image of your thoughts."
- Byron Katie, Loving What Is
"Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance. The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of."
- C. S. Lewis
"Everything you have in your life today you have attracted to yourself by the person you are, by the way you think. You can change your life because you can change the person you are. You can change the thoughts that you think."
- Brian Tracy, Personal Success
"Do what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, whether you feel like it or not."
- David Horsager, The Trust Edge
"Either you control your mind or it controls you."
- Robin Sharma, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari
"At some point, success in nearly every field requires you to ignore an immediate reward in favor of a delayed reward."
- James Clear, Atomic Habits
"Anything you read influences your thoughts. When you consistently read and listen to positive self-improvement books and articles, you are programming your mind with the thoughts and beliefs that will support you in creating success."
— Hal Elrod, The Miracle Morning for Real Estate Agents
