“The people we live with and work with on a daily basis deserve our full attention. When we give people segmented attention, piecemeal time, switching back and forth, the switching cost is higher than just the time involved. We end up damaging relationships.”

The trick to success is to choose the right habit and bring just enough discipline to establish it.

Think as big as you possibly can and base what you do, how you do it, and who you do it with on succeeding at that level. It just might take you more than your lifetime to run into the walls of a box this big.

It is not that we have too little time to do all the things we need to do , it is that we feel the need to do too many things in the time we have.

Success is actually a short race-a sprint fueled by discipline just long enough for habit to kick in and take over.

Juggling is an illusion. In reality, the balls are being independently caught and thrown in rapid succession. It is actually task switching.

All great achievements are the result of sustained focus over time-all of them.

Don’t let small thinking cut your life down to size. Think big, aim high, act bold. And see just how big you can blow up your life.

Success is sequential, not simultaneous.

When we know something that needs to be done but isn’t currently getting done, we often say, I just need more discipline. Actually, we need the habit of doing it. And we need just enough discipline to build the habit.

If everyone has the same amount of time and yet some earn more than others, can we say then say that it’s how we use our time that determines the money we make?

There is magic in knocking down your most important domino day after day. All you have to do is avoid breaking the chain, one day at a time, until you generate a powerful new habit in your life.

What’s the ONE Thing you can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?

Taking complete ownership of your outcomes by holding no one but yourself responsible for them is the most powerful thing you can do to drive your success.

A different result requires doing something different.

Success is built sequentially. It’s one thing at a time.

Extraordinary results are directly determined by how narrow you can make your focus.

You become what you give your attention to. If you yourself don’t choose what thoughts and images you expose yourself to, someone else will, and their motives may not be the highest.

The stuff we choose to surround ourselves has a claim on our time, energy, and attention and finally on our life. 

It wasn’t you but your soul that caught my attention.

We all need love and a lot of attention.

A strong friendship doesn’t need your daily attention.

I am much pleased to find how very well I stand work & how my powers of attention & continued effort increase.

It is not attention that the child is seeking, but love.

Attention, if sudden and close, graduates into surprise; and this into astonishment; and this into stupefied amazement.
