“You become financially free when your passive income exceeds your expenses.”

Rich people are committed to enough to do whatever it takes. Period.

It’s not enough to be in the right place at the right time. You have to be the right person in the right place at the right time.

Nobody ever died of discomfort, yet living in the name of comfort has killed more ideas, more opportunities, more actions, and more growth than everything else combined. Comfort kills!

Practice being in the present. Do what you’re doing 100%.

Trust yourself and in the universe that everything will work out in the end.

One of the principles we teach in our programs is “If you shoot for the stars, you’ll at least hit the moon.” Poor people don’t even shoot for the ceiling in their house, and then they wonder why they’re not successful.

I observe my thoughts and entertain only those that empower me.

Helping people grow and achieve their dreams is the fastest route to success.

The truth is few people “think” big and even fewer “play” big. Why? Because “big” often means big responsibilitie s, big hassles and big problems. They look at that “bigness” and shrink. They’re smaller than their problems.

Rich people constantly learn and grow. Poor people think they already know.

The biggest obstacle to wealth is fear. People are afraid to think big, but if you think small, you’ll only achieve small things.

If you have a big problem in your life, all that means is that you are being a small person!

Focus on what you want, not on what you don’t want.

I think big! I choose to help thousands and thousands of people!

No thought lives in your head rent-free.

Whatever results you’re getting, be they rich or poor, good or bad, positive or negative, always remember that your outer world is simply a reflection of your inner world. If things aren’t going well in your outer life, it’s because things aren’t going well in your inner life. It’s that simple.

I can’t do this because I can’t…I can’t be the man I want to be with you. And that means that this – this just becomes…another reminder of what I am not.

One of the few blessings of living in an age of anxiety is that we are forced to become aware of ourselves.

What is wonderful about my art is that dream and reality can become one. There is just one step between the two.

Much to my own surprise, I got through it. And life…well, gradually became livable again.

You have to like the present; if not your life becomes secondhand, if you think it was better before. Or that it will be better in the future.

Writing in African languages became a topic of discussion in conferences, in schools, in classrooms; the issue is always being raised – so it’s no longer “in the closet,” as it were. It’s part of the discussion going on about the future of African literature.

Since the nature of people is bad, to become corrected they must be taught by teachers and to be orderly they must acquire ritual and moral principles.

The more comfort becomes your priority, the more contracted you become with fear.
