    “Consciousness is everything and that all things begin with a thought. That we are responsible for our own fate, we reap what we sow, we get what we give, we pull in what we put out. I know these things for sure.” ~ Madonna

      “From this moment forward, I will accept responsibility for my past.  I understand that the beginning of wisdom is to accept the responsibility for my own problems and that by accepting responsibility for my past, I free myself to move into a bigger, brighter future of my own choosing.  Never again will I blame my parents, my spouse, my boss, or other employees for my present situation.  Neither my education nor lack of one, my genetics, or the circumstantial ebb and flow of everyday life will affect my future in a negative way.  If I allow myself to blame these uncontrollable forces for my lack of success, I will be forever caught in a web of the past.  I will look forward.  I will not let my history control my destiny.” ~ Andy Andrews, The Traveler’s Gift

        Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. ~ Steve Jobs

          “The words It’s not my fault! should never again come from your mouth.  The words It’s not my fault! have been symbolically written on the gravestones of unsuccessful people ever since Eve took her first bite of the apple.” ~ Andy Andrews, The Traveler’s Gift

            “Outside influences are not responsible for where you are mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally, or financially.  You have chosen the pathway to your present destination.  The responsibility for your situation is yours.” ~ Andy Andrews, The Traveler’s Gift

              “We are all in situations of our own choosing.  Our thinking creates a pathway to success or failure.  By disclaiming responsibility for our present, we crush the prospect of an incredible future that might have been ours.” ~ Andy Andrews, The Traveler’s Gift

                “Regardless of what is going on around you, make the best of what is in your power, and take the rest as it occurs.” ~ Epictetus

                  “When you actively engage in gradually refining yourself, you retreat from your lazy ways of covering yourself or making excuses.  Instead of feeling a persistent current of low-level shame, you move forward by using the creative possibilities of this moment, your current situation.” ~ Epictetus, The Art of Living

                      “You only have the rights you fight for.” ~ Timothy Ferriss

                              “Don’t give up on your dream.  Don’t let others dissuade you.  Hang on with people who stoke your fire, not soak your fire.  When times are good be grateful, and when times are bad be graceful.” ~ Gary Mack, Mind Gym

                                      “To dream anything that you want to dream, that is the beauty of the human mind.
                                      To do anything that you want to do, that is the strength of the human will.
                                      To trust yourself, to test your limits, that is the courage to succeed.”
