My definition of success is to live your life in a way that causes you to feel a ton of pleasure and very little pain - and because of your lifestyle, have the people around you feel a lot more pleasure than they do pain.
One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular.
Most people have no idea of the giant capacity we can immediately command when we focus all of our resources on mastering a single area of our lives.
When people are like each other they tend to like each other.
Take control of your consistent emotions and begin to consciously and deliberately reshape your daily experience of life.
Using the power of decision gives you the capacity to get past any excuse to change any and every part of your life in an instant.
Want to learn to eat a lot? Here it is: Eat a little. That way, you will be around long enough to eat a lot.
Remember, a real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided.
We will act consistently with our view of who we truly are, whether that view is accurate or not.
Surmounting difficulty is the crucible that forms character.
We are the only beings on the planet who lead such rich internal lives that it's not the events that matter most to us, but rather, it's how we interpret those events that will determine how we think about ourselves and how we will act in the future.
The truth is that we can learn to condition our minds, bodies, and emotions to link pain or pleasure to whatever we choose. By changing what we link pain and pleasure to, we will instantly change our behaviors.
You always succeed in producing a result.
