For today’s post I want to create a little interaction with my readers. I would like for you to please share your favorite quote. Mine is
“What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”- Napoleon Hill
The reason I love this quote is it shows the unlimited ability the human mind has to expand and create. We hold ourselves to limits and stymie our personal and business growth by our own limiting belief system!
Please share your favorite quote and why you like it!

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
…..To thine ownself be true…..
No matter what we do in life or what happens to us, I find I must always be honest to true to myself and my heart in order to grow and move forward. Its not an easy thing to admit that at times I am am just not right in my actions, but to admit and learn is the only through it….Therefore the reason I like this quote.

I have two favorite quotes I heard yesterday.
1) “Knowing that life is finite, how are you going to go out…on your feet or on your knees?”
The context of the quote was to live your life showing up for what you value. Another example of this is a popular Huna tradition of training warriors, faced with immindent death, to go out yelling all the way to the seventh heavens, causing fear and trembling in the hearts of the enemy as they go, rather than whimpering and dying quietly.
2) “Somethimes the greatest journey is the distance between two people”
Self explanatory I think….
Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right! By Henry Ford.
I love this quote because it’s so true! Our minds are so powerful and create so much! Lets try to be more positive in our lives!!
What you think about you bring about
Mary Kay Ash
Our minds are so stong. I constantly remind my self to keep it in check. I think this is so important to only focus on the positive, good goals and dreams and they will grow. We all have down times but it is true the things that we allow to linger come true good or bad.

To accomplish great things we must not only act but also dream, not only plan but also believe. By Anatole.
Love this one too! Lets get dreaming, believeing, planning, & acting… who knows what we can accomplish! Aww yea!
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.
–Theodore Roosevelt
This quote paints such a vivid picture for me! To know joy we must know sadness. We must stand strong through anything that faces us because that is what makes the adventures in life and makes us wiser.
It always picks me up and inspires me to victory, makes me believe in myself and try harder for the things I believe in and desire. In the end, I respect myself and know I have done my best!
The fact is, that to do anything in the world worth doing, we must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in and scramble through as well as we can.
Robert Cushing
We cannot become what we need to be by remaining what we are.
Many of us spend our lives searching for success when it is usually so close that we can reach out and touch it.
“Happiness is like jam. You can’t spread even a little without getting some on yourself.”
I don’t know where this quote came from but I love it. It is just so true. I also like……
“Those who remain flexible will never be bent out of shape.”
Life can be pretty painful physically and mentally if we aren’t flexible. Let’s go have some jam and do some stretches.
“Fall seven times, stand up eight”- Chinese Proverb
This one is short enough and simple enough that I can remember it and utilize it whenever I need to.
Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are. Kurt Cobain
How often do we think to ourselves, man I wish I were that person? We are all special and unique. Each of us has talents that we should share, we have smiles to smile, and we all have love to give. Instead of looking and wishing we were someone else, let us be happy with who we are.
“The fear of losing is often greater than the excitement of winning.” -Brian Tracy
“There are no accidents, success is the result of doing the right thing in the right way over and over again. -Brian Tracy
These simplify the two biggest hurtles that we face in business: the fear of rejection, and not taking meaning daily action. For me, these quotes help me see beyond those obstacles.
By the way, love the site Michael!
“The possibility of stepping into a higher plane is quite real for everyone. It requires no more force or effort or sacrifice. It involves little more than changing our ideas about what is normal.”
Deepak Chopra
I love this quote because we can achieve anything we want in our lives. Change the way you think and it easily and effortlessly becomes a reality.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous. Actually, who are you not to be?”
Marianne Williams
This is my all time favorite quote. In my work at Outlook I see so often this proven true. People will see thier greatness, thier power, and thier true selves. It is scary for each of us to know ourself at this level. The most inspirational event in the world is when we step forward accomplishing our dreams and goals and act in the face of fear.
“To live in a world without becoming aware of the meaning of the world is like wandering about in a great library without touching the books.” – Featured in Dan Brown’s new book The Lost Symbol – I just read this quote in the cover of the book and really enjoyed it. Thought I would share.
“Luck is believing you’re lucky.” – Tennessee Williams
“You gotta try your luck at least once a day, because you could be going around lucky all day and not even know it. ” – Jimmy Dean
“We all dream a lot – some are lucky, some are not. But if you think it, want it, dream it, then it’s real. You are what you feel.” – Tim Rice
I am a big fan of luck, but I believe that luck does not happen by chance. We need to go out and make it happen.
Thank you to all those who posted your favorite quote! I enjoyed reading your quotes and why they mean so much to you! Thanks again!
