“Choosing our own aims and seeking to bring them to fruition creates a sense of vitality and motivation in life. The only things that derail our efforts are fear and oppression.”

To me, meditation is simply silencing or focusing the mind.

Ambition has to be joined with expectancy. A sense that you have a dream for yourself that you believe can happen.

There’s a starting place. And that starting place for everyone is ambition. We’re all scared of that word today because they made it bad in the late ’80s. As if desire is not a good thing.

Ambition is the great fire, it’s the liberator of the unconscious person. No goals, no growth; no clarity, no change.

There comes a time in the lives of those destined for greatness when we must stand before the mirror of meaning and ask: Why, having been endowed with the courageous heart of a lion, do we live as mice?

When you are congruent in your personal life, you will be congruent in your business life.

Business coaching and the personal development and self-help industry is considered to be one of the booming industries today.

The inbox is nothing but a convenient organizing system for other people’s agendas.

We all have a life story and a message that can inspire others to live a better life or run a better business. Why not use that story and message to serve others and grow a real business doing it?

Well being, serenity and service to others are the ultimate measures of true wealth, success and power.

Freedom and victory belong to those who remain true and strong despite temptation to be dishonest and weak.

Motivation comes from effort.

It’s not about how much work you’re doing. It’s about what work you’re doing and how you’re doing the work.

Your ultimate life experience and legacy is being built moment by moment, day by day. Your story is being crafted by your every action, all leading somewhere, all leading to what one hopes will be a magnificent crescendo.

It’s that engagement of learning that makes us feel alive.

There are only two types of change: Something new comes into your life, or something new comes out of you.

Every decision I make is a choice between a grievance and a miracle.

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

Replace fear-based thinking with love-based thinking. Every time you’re making a choice, ask yourself if it’s going to cultivate the experience of unity and love or the experience of separation and stress.

Everything we look at and choose is some way of expressing how we want to be perceived.

I’ve no interest in being thought provoking. Who needs more thoughts. I’d rather go down as one who is thought disposing.

We can choose to alleviate suffering. We can choose to work together for peace. We can make these changes – and we must.

Your biography becomes your biology. This biography includes the totality of your choices, the things you feed your body – you thoughts, your actions, your food – the thing you feed your life.

Every time there are losses, there are choices to be made. You choose to live your losses as passages to anger, blame, hatred, depression and resentment, or you choose to let these losses be passages to something new, something wider, and deeper.
