“The gratitude you receive from others is a reflection of your genius.”

I know how to go, go, go. Stopping, I’ve learned is the stuff of mastery.

The best place to begin is always with gratitude.

Your desires will very often be contradictory and so will your strengths. All of our contradictions make us whole.

Speak the truth. Affirm your desire. Declare your intentions. Recall your successes. Your psyche will believe you. Your body will feel you. Your Soul will thank you for the straight-up communication.

Value inner attainement as much as you value outer attainment.

The journey has to feel the way you want the destination to feel.

The secret to success: Do what you say you’re going to do.

The surest sign that you’re working with the life-affirming kind of discipline, rather than the spirit-depressing kind, is that you don’t complain very much about doing what it takes.

You will fail. At some point. More than once. Guaranteed. Proceed anyway.

Start leaving what you want to leave. Your future is waiting.

Someone you haven’t met yet is already dreaming of adoring you.

Passion will always move you in the direction of your authentic self.

Your curiosity is your growth point. Always.

Nobody can tell your story the way you can tell your story.

Almost any decision is better than no decision — just keep moving.

It’s not about the goal, it’s about how you want to feel when you get there.

Genius sometimes consists of knowing when to stop.

Everyone around me says, You’re a genius! You’re great! That’s your voice! But I’m not sure if they’re right.

Thoroughness characterizes all successful men. Genius is the art of taking infinite pains. All great achievement has been characterized by extreme care, infinite painstaking, even to the minutest detail.

Women of genius commonly have masculine faces, figures and manners. In transplanting brains to an alien soil God leaves a little of the original earth clinging to the roots.

Without patience, there can be no genius.

Genius is the capacity of avoiding hard work.

The major work of the world is not done by geniuses. It is done by ordinary people, with balance in their lives, who have learned to work in an extraordinary manner.

I believe that instinct is what makes a genius a genius.
