“Part of your mission in life then must be to share your gifts with as many people as possible. That means being willing to play big.”

Money is a result, wealth is a result, health is a result, illness is a result, your weight is a result. We live in a world of cause and effect.

You can be a victim or you can be rich, but you can’t be both. Listen up! Every time, and I mean every time, you blame, justify, or complain, you are slitting your financial throat.

It’s what’s invisible that creates what’s visible.

You cannot change the fruits that are already hanging on the tree. You can, however, change tomorrow’s fruits. But to do so, you will have to dig below the ground and strengthen the roots.

If you want to fly with the eagles, don’t swim with the ducks!

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!

Having my animals or my children with me exorcises that feeling of not being wanted.

The thing of being able to share somebody’s reality, which has so far been a matter of what communication is about, you know.

Driven by the forces of love, the fragments of the world seek each other so that the world may come to being.

My recipe for life is not being afraid of myself, afraid of what I think or of my opinions.

The key to being a good manager is keeping the people who hate me away from those who are still undecided.

It is an absolute and virtually divine perfection to know how to enjoy our being rightfully.

I think The Grateful Dead kind of represents the spirit of being able to go out and have an adventure in America at large.

Without being the most confident person in the world, I think I am the right person for Liverpool.
