“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.”

You need to be doing fewer things for more effect instead of doing more things with side effects.

Multitasking is a lie.

Anyone who dreams of an uncommon life eventually discovers that there is no choice but to seek an uncommon approach to living it.

Your work life is divided into two distinct areas – what matters most and everything else. You will have to take what matters to the extremes and be okay with what happens to the rest. Professional success requires it.

Your next step is simple. You are the first domino.

The path of mastering something is the combination of not only doing the best you can do at it, but also doing it the best it can be done.

Multi-tasking is merely the opportunity to screw up more than one thing at a time.

In the end, the best way to succeed is to go small. And when you go small, you say no – a lot. A lot more than you might have even considered before.

A life worth living might be measured in many ways, but the one way that stands above all others is living a life of no regrets.

Task switching exacts a cost few realize they are even paying.

You’d be hard pressed to find elite achievers who don’t have coaches helping them in key areas of their life.

Find the lead domino, and whack away at it until it falls.

Extraordinary results happen only when you give the best you have to become the best you can be at your most important work.

If disproportionate results come from one activity, then you must give that one activity disproportionate time.

Until my ONE thing is done, everything else is a distraction.

When you give your ONE Thing your most emphatic Yes! and vigorously say No! to the rest, extraordinary results become possible.

I feel that when we really love and accept and approve of ourselves exactly as we are, then everything in life works.

Owning your own feelings, rather than blaming them on someone else, is the mark of a person who has moved from contracted to expanded awareness.

She was feeling the pressure of the world outside and she wanted to see him and feel his presence beside her and be reassured that she was doing the right thing after all.

It was like falling down an elevator shaft and landing in a pool full of mermaids.

Being talked about like a package – I feel like that all the time.

My body has forgotten what my own warmth feels like and the ice on my skin has frost bitten all those who have tried to hold me.

I want you here beside me, to make me feel like the only pearl you’d be looking for in the ocean.

Should you find the most convenient way of breathing, it will not make you feel more alive.
