Circumstances, events or situations have no power except that which you give them.
~ Mensah Oteh
Becoming your best self should be your ultimate goal, and wisdom helps you discover your true self and can guide you towards manifesting your potential.
Invest in yourself, because you will only ever achieve the level of success that matches your level of wisdom.
Investing in your personal development requires time, energy, and money, but the investment provides a great return.
Investments are about the return they provide in increased opportunities, prosperity, health, wealth, happiness, joy, and success.
Wisdom is made complete with knowledge, understanding and good judgement.
You have the paintbrush in your hand, you can make the picture of your life brighter and bigger or duller and darker, it’s up to you.
Your mind is your most important asset because it creates everything you have in life.
Buy wisdom no matter the price.
What is your life and future worth? Ask yourself this question daily and your life will be enriched beyond measure.
There is a cause/effect relationship between your investment in yourself and the future you have.
For long-term success, invest 5-10% of your time each day and 5-10% of your income each month in increasing your wisdom.
Like soil, the quality of your mind decides the quality and quantity of ideas your mind can produce.
Review how you spend your money and time across all areas of your life, and judge for yourself whether your investment in your mind is right for the future you want.
Invest in books that will help you become the person you were born to be and do what you should do.
Wisdom isn’t expensive, but ignorance is.
Wisdom comes at a price. But the price you have to pay shouldn’t guide your decision to invest – the expected return should.
To gain wisdom you must be willing to invest time, energy, and money in your personal development.
Feed your mind with thoughts that inspire, motivate, encourage, empower, educate and instruct you by deliberately choosing the information you allow into your world through sight, sound and people.
Positive thoughts are the birthing ground for making your dreams, goals, and desires come true.
Change in thinking + shift in perspective = change in your life
Everything starts as a thought. Whether you feel happy or sad, calm or anxious, content or unfulfilled is a function of your thoughts.
You can’t always control your external environment, but you can manage your micro environment by intentionally choosing what you allow to influence you – by sight, sound, and presence.
Make the tough choice, decide you will not be a garbage ground for other people’s trash. Protect your mind.
You don’t have to allow the drama and events of the economy, others people’s lives, and external circumstances to limit your potential and rob you of the life you deserve.
You have absolute control over your thoughts, and guarding your mind is a choice.
Renew your mind by flooding it with inspiring, empowering, educational and edifying thoughts and words.
You have a shot at success if you can discipline yourself to eliminate the limiting thoughts from within and the disempowering words from without.
Discipline yourself to shut the door of your mind on people, events, or things that pull you down, drain your mental or emotional energy, and try to rob you of your promise of the future.
Your external world is a mirror of your internal world, and if you can discipline yourself to change your thoughts, your external world will change.
There’s no secret to success, but if there were one, it would be that your decisions create your success or lack of it and the quality of your decisions will determine the quality of your life.
If you had all the time in the world but your knowledge, wisdom and understanding remained unchanged, your life would remain the same.
Indecision is a decision not to use life’s first gift to you – the power of choice.
The quality of your life is a direct reflection of the quality of the decisions you make each day.
There are no victims in life, we are all volunteers. Our decisions create our experiences.
Time doesn’t create change. The changes in your life will be in proportion to the decisions you make.
Awareness is the starting place for all changes in life, you must become aware of what needs to change to effectively make a change.
The best decisions are often those made from the creative part of your mind and not the emotional part of your heart.
Give yourself permission to dream, to choose, to decide.
Avoid making important or long-term decisions when you are fatigued mentally, emotionally or physically.
