Change happens when the pain of holding on becomes greater than the fear of letting go.

The fear you let build up in your mind is worse than the situation that actually exists.

As soon as you learn and let go, you improve the present today.

Between peaks there are always valleys. How you manage your valley determines how soon you reach your next peak.

It is hard to let go of the past if you have not learned from the past.

The biggest inhibitor to change lies within yourself.

A change imposed is a change opposed.

Being in the present means tuning out distractions and paying attention to what is important, now. You create your own present by what you give your attention to today.

Even in the most difficult situations, when you focus on what is right in the present moment, it makes you happier, today. And it gives you the needed energy and confidence to deal with what is wrong.

I have more fun, and enjoy more finan­cial suc­cess, when I stop try­ing to get what I want and start help­ing other peo­ple get what they want.
