I believe there are only three businesses: my business, other people's business, and God's business.
~ Tobe Hanson
I believe I will not not die a minute too early or a minute too late, but exactly when I am supposed to.
If you feel anxiety or depression, you are not in the present. You are either anxiously projecting the future or depressed and stuck in the past. The only thing you have any control over is the present moment; simple breathing exercises can make us calm and present instantly.
Health, peace of mind, peak performance, and success in any area of life all depend upon doing the right thing at the right time, in harmony with the cycles of the Four Seasons.
In my experience, stress is the cause of all injury and pain.
Taking personal accountability is a beautiful thing because it gives us complete control of our destinies.
~ Heather Schuck
The crowning fortune of a man is to be born to some pursuit which finds him employment and happiness, whether it be to make baskets, or broadswords, or canals, or statues, or songs.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
I believe in not trying to control things that are out of my control or none of my business.
Like everything in life, it is not what happens to you but how you respond to it that counts.
~ Steve Backley
It is never about who is right or wrong, it is about what is best.
The thrust of continuous action is the firewood which fuels motivation.
There are three types of people in this world. Firstly, there are people who make things happen. Then there are people who watch things happen. Lastly, there are people who ask, what happened? Which do you want to be?
Too often, people get stuck in a state of over-thinking, the result is that they never reach a decision.
The first step is the most important. It is the most crucial and the most effective as it will initiate the direction you have chosen.
If obstacles are large, jump higher.
Share your aspirations only with those who will support you, not those who will respond with doubt or lack of interest.
Act like a champion, and then become one.
It is action that creates motivation.
If not now, when?
Your current apathy is simply your soul telling you that it is confused.
If you want to continue to be the best in the world, then you have to train and compete like you are second best in the world.
If you remain static and wait for success to come to you it will certainly not happen.
Nothing could be any worse than having to turn to your friends, your colleagues and your loved ones and say –‘I gave up too soon’.
Do you want to know what one of the secrets to achieving all of your goals is? You’ve got to be committed.
The challenge for you is to decide not what is important, but what is most important and then focus your attention on that.
Success is simply never giving in to failure - either in mind or body.
It is one thing to know what should be done, it is another to do it.
If not you, who?
It is true to say that the secret of a winning formula is the ability to accept that there is a vast area of unexploited potential beyond what you currently perceive to be your maximum.
Mix with positive-minded people as a means to tap into your unexploited potential.
The only test is what you see when you look in a mirror.
See it, feel it, trust it!
Just identify the very first physical action you need to take, and do it.
You have to create your self-belief by going to your core to find the probable reasons for the negativity in you, and then demolish them.
If you are able to focus unswervingly on your goals, then all that you desire will become yours.
The sprint is like life ... blink and you miss it.
If you have positive energy you will always attract positive outcomes.
Look for solutions, instead of being difficult; be more thoughtful, instead of allowing anger to burn you out. Look at things from a different perspective, embrace change, look out for opportunities and you will feel much more in control.
A mind filled with negative thoughts makes you feel miserable and inadequate and will lead to failure after failure no matter how hard you try to succeed.
To think is good. To obsess is bad.
