Fear is not your enemy. It is a compass pointing you to the areas where you need to grow.

Everyone you meet in your life – even total strangers – are already intimately connected to you. The idea that we are all separate and distinct beings is nothing but an illusion. We are all parts of a larger whole, like individual cells in a body.

If you experience chronic difficulties in a particular area of your life, there’s a strong chance that the root of the problem is a failure to accept reality as it is.

You must give before you can get.

Before Get Giving
It’s important to note that you don’t have to earn money from all of your interests. If you just dive in and pursue what you enjoy, you may be surprised to find out which interests help you generate income and which don’t.
STEVE PAVLINA

Important Income May
Realize that you earn income by providing value – not time – so find a way to provide your best value to others, and charge a fair price for it.

Income Time Work
In fact, it’s a safe bet that you’ll subconsciously sabotage yourself from being in such a place for long. You won’t allow yourself to receive what you don’t feel you’ve earned. To receive life’s bounty, you must know without a doubt that you deserve it.

Allow Fact Receive Subconsciously
If you can’t do what you love and make it profitable, you’ve either got a hobby or a headache, not a sustainable business. Don’t settle for anything less than passion and profit.

Passion Profit Profitable Sustainable
You must assume 100% responsibility for your financial life. If you’re going to improve your situation, you have to put the full burden of doing so squarely on your own shoulders. First and foremost, you must hold yourself responsible.
STEVE PAVLINA

Firsts Money Responsibility
When you fail you discover your boundaries. You map out the edges of your capabilities. And this allows you to eventually move beyond them. Being wrong eventually leads to being right. And even where it doesn’t, it’s still a more interesting path than being nothing.
STEVE PAVLINA

Boundary Capabilities Eventually Right
Risk the stuff. It’s worthless anyway. But don’t make the insane choice of sacrificing your happiness for stuff.

One of the secrets to success is recognizing that motivation follows action.
STEVE PAVLINA

Action Motivation Secret
Do what you love, but be damned sure it’s profitable. If you do work you love, but it doesn’t generate income, your business will fail. If you do work you hate, but it generates income, your health will fail… and your business along with it.
STEVE PAVLINA

Business Hate Passion
If something is important enough to you that you feel the urge to donate your money or time to it, I think it’s best to try to express that form of giving through your career, not just as something you do on the side.

Mean Thinking Work
Achieving meaningful goals requires that you commit your entire ass, not just one cheek.

For good or ill, your habits will make or break you.
