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

Rich people believe “You can have your cake and eat it too.” Middle-class people believe “Cake is too rich, so I’ll only have a little piece.” Poor people don’t believe they deserve cake, so they order a doughnut, focus on the hole, and wonder why they have “nothing.”

Rich people see opportunities. Poor people see obstacles. Rich people see potential growth. Poor people see potential loss. Rich people focus on rewards. Poor focus on the risks.

The only time you are actually growing is when you are uncomfortable.

It comes down to this: either you control money, or it controls you. To control money, you must manage it.

I took his suggestion to heart and went from a “know-it-all” to a “learn-it-all.”

Remember, either you control your money or it will control you.

If you want to make a permanent change, stop focusing on the size of your problems and start focusing on the size of you!

You have to believe that you are the one who creates your success, that you are the one who creates your mediocrity, and that you are the one creating your struggle around money and success.

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!

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.

Start being biblically correct, instead of politically correct.

The path we’re on has taken the USA to the brink of bankruptcy.

But no value has been put on human life; it is given to us free and taken without being paid for. What is it worth?

Being raised in Iowa, I know what a cornfield does for me, and I wanted to have that same kind of feeling for the Ramapo Mountains.

I only weigh 220, so I have to do something to keep from being tossed around by all the guys who weigh 250 and more. I train hard, but I don’t try to get too big.

No one is without Christianity, if we agree on what we mean by that word. It is every individual’s individual code of behavior by means of which he makes himself a better human being than his nature wants to be, if he followed his nature only.

It might be the doing of Satan, in whom Aaron anxiously believed with all of his being except, perhaps, his mind.

The closest thing to being cared for is to care for someone else.
