    “Success, like happiness, cannot be pursued.  It must ensue.  And it only does so as the unintended side effect of one’s personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself.” ~ Victor Frankl

      “Quick-fixes do not work.  All lasting inner change requires time and effort.  Persistence is the mother of personal change.  I’m not saying that it will take years to make profound changes in your life.  If you diligently apply the strategies I am sharing with you every day for only one month, you will be astonished at the results.  You will begin to tap into the highest levels of your own capacity and enter the realm of the miraculous.  But to reach this destination, you must not get hung up on the outcome.  Instead, enjoy the process of personal expansion and growth.  Ironically, the less you focus on the end result, the quicker it will come.” ~ Robin S. Sharma, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

        “The price of greatness is responsibility over each of your thoughts.” ~ Winston Churchill

          “When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all of your thoughts break their bonds: your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world.  Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive and you discover yourself to be a greater person than you ever dreamed yourself to be.” ~ Patanjali, Indian Philosopher

            “[In order to] liberate the potential of your mind, body, and soul, you must first expand your imagination.  You see, things are always created twice: first in the workshop of the mind and then, and only then, in reality.  I call the process ‘blueprinting’ because anything that you create in your outer world began as a simple blueprint in your inner world, on the lush picture screen of your min.  When you learn to take control of your thoughts and vividly imagine all that you desire from this worldly existence in state of total expectancy, dormant forces will awaken inside you.  You will begin to unlock the true potential of your mind to create the kind of magical life that I believe you deserve.  From tonight onwards, forget about the past.  Dare to dream that you  are more than the sum of your current circumstances.  Expect the best.  You will be astonished at the results.” ~ Robin S. Sharma, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

              “There are no mistakes in life, only lessons.  There is no such thing as a negative experience, only opportunities to grow, learn and advance along the road of self-mastery.  From struggle comes strength.  Even pain can be a wonderful teacher.” ~ Robin S. Sharma, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

                “All success in life, whether material or spiritual, starts with that twelve-pound mass sitting between your shoulders.  Or more specifically, with the thoughts that you put into your mind every second of every minute of every day.  Your outer world reflects the state of your inner world.  By controlling the thoughts that you think and the way you respond to the events of your life, you begin to control your destiny.” ~ Robin S. Sharma, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

                  “There is no such thing as objective reality or ‘the real world.’  There are no absolutes.  The face of your greatest enemy might be the face of my finest friend.  An event that appears to be a tragedy to one might reveal the seeds of unlimited opportunity to another.  What really separates people who are habitually upbeat and optimistic from those who are consistently miserable is how the circumstances of life are interpreted and processed.” ~ Robin S. Sharma, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

                    “Mental mastery comes through conditioning, nothing more and nothing less.  Most of us have the same raw materials from the moment we take our first breath of air; what separates those people who achieve more than others or those that are happier than others is the way that they use and refine these raw materials.  When you dedicate yourself to transforming your inner world your life quickly shifts from the ordinary into the realm of the extraordinary.” ~ Robin S. Sharma, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

                      “To live life to the fullest, you must stand guard at the gate of your garden and let only the very best information enter.  You truly cannot afford the luxury of a negative thought – not even one.  The most joyful, dynamic and contented people of this world are no different from you or me in terms of their makeup.  We are all flesh and bones.  We all come from the same universal source.  However, the ones who do more than just exist, the ones who fan the flames of their human potential and truly savor the magical dance of life do different things than those whose lives are ordinary.  Foremost amongst the things that they do is adopt a positive paradigm about their world and all that is in it.” ~ Robin S. Sharma, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

                        “Most people live – whether physically, intellectually, or morally – in a very restricted circle of their potential being.  We all have reservoirs of life to draw upon of which we do not dream.” ~ William James

                          “Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your heart.  Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakens.” ~ Carl Jung

                            “It is only when you have mastered the art of loving yourself that you can truly love others.  It’s only when you have opened your own heart that you can touch the hearts of others.  When you feel centered and alive, you are in a much better position to be a better person.” ~ Robin S. Sharma, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

                              “I am an artist at living – my work of art is my life.” ~ Suzuki

                                “Self-mastery and the consistent care of one’s mind, body, and soul are essential to finding one’s highest self and living the life of one’s dreams.  How can you care for others if you cannot even care for yourself?  How can you do good if you don’t even feel good?  I can’t love you if I cannot love myself.” ~ Robin S. Sharma, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

                                  “Success on the outside means nothing unless you also have success within.  There is a huge difference between well-being and being well-off.” ~ Robin S. Sharma, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

                                    “Great dreamers’ dreams are never fulfilled, they are always transcended.” ~ Alfred Lord Whitehead
