To overcome a fear, here's all you have to do: realize the fear is there, and do the action you fear anyway.Collection: Fear

To the degree we're not living our dreams, our comfort zone has more control of us than we have over ourselves.Collection: Dreams
Be willing to be uncomfortable. Be comfortable being uncomfortable. It may get tough, but it's a small price to pay for living a dream.
Our thoughts create our reality - where we put our focus is the direction we tend to go.
Life is not a struggle. It's a wiggle.
Comfort zones are most often expanded through discomfort.
The news media are, for the most part, the bringers of bad news... and it's not entirely the media's fault, bad news gets higher ratings and sells more papers than good news.
The media tends to report rumors, speculations, and projections as facts... How does the media do this? By quoting some 'expert'... you can always find some expert who will say something hopelessly hopeless about anything.
To avoid situations in which you might make mistakes may be the biggest mistake of all.
Mistakes show us what we need to learn.

One of the great joys of life is creativity. Information goes in, gets shuffled about, and comes out in new and interesting ways.

Do what you love and the necessary resources will follow.
Nothing adventured, nothing attained.

Choosing what you want to do, and when to do it, is an act of creation.
Learn to ask for what you want. The worst people can do is not give you what you ask for which is precisely where you were before you asked.

Fear is something to be moved through, not something to be turned from.
I see nothing wrong with the human trait to desire. In fact, I consider it integral to our success mechanism. Becoming attached to what we desire is what causes the trouble. If you must have it in order to be happy, then you are denying the happiness of the here and now.
It's your life. Live it with people who are alive. It tends to be contagious.
We are all, right now, living the life we choose.
If you change the belief first, changing the action is easier.
What's more important-your goal, or others' opinions of your goal?
In reality, serendipity accounts for one percent of the blessings we receive in life, work and love. The other 99 percent is due to our efforts.
While goals are chosen, a purpose is discovered. Our purpose is something we have been doing all along, and will continue to do, regardless of circumstances, until the day we die.

So why not associate with the ones that naturally please you?Collection: Smart
