"Any significant long-term change requires long-term practice, whether that
change has to do with playing the violin or learning to be a more open,
loving person. We all know people who say that they have been permanently
changed by experiences of a moment or a day or a weekend. But when you
check it out you'll generally discover that those who ended up permanently
changed had spent considerable time preparing for their life-changing
experience or had continued diligently practicing the new behavior afterward."
- Michael Murphy and George Leonard
"When you see a thing clearly in your mind, your creative ''success mechanism''
within you takes over and does the job much better than you could do it by
conscious effort or "willpower."
- Maxwell Maltz
"A major part of successful living lies in the ability to put first things first.
Indeed the reason most major goals are not achieved is that we spend
our time doing second things first."
- Robert J. McKain
"The secret of health both for mind and body is not to mourn for the past,
not to worry about the future, or not to anticipate troubles, but to live the
present moment wisely and earnestly."
- Buddha
"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own.
No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours -
it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it.
This is the day your life really begins."
- Bob Moawad
