Brian Tracy

"Look for the good in every person and every situation. You'll almost always find it."

"The potential of the average person is like a huge ocean unsailed, anew continent unexplored, a world of possibilities waiting to bereleased and channeled toward some great good."

"The more you seek security, the less of it you have. But the more you seek opportunity, the more likely it is that you will achieve the security that you desire."

"Today the greatest single source of wealth is between your ears."

"All successful people men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose."

"Everything you do is triggered by an emotion of either desire or fear."

"Your decision to be, have and do something out of ordinary entails facing difficulties that are out of the ordinary as well. Sometimes your greatest asset is simply your ability to stay with it longer than anyone else."

"Develop the winning edge; small differences in your performance can lead to large differences in your results."

"It doesn't matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are going."

"If you envy successful people, you create a negative force field of attraction that repels you from ever doing the things that you need to do to be successful. If you admire successful people, you create a positive force field of attraction that draws you toward becoming more and more like the kinds of people that you want to be like."

"Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation."

"The happiest people in the world are those who feel absolutely terrific about themselves, and this is the natural outgrowth of accepting total responsibility for every part of their life."

"Always choose the future over the past. What do we do now?"

"Your biggest opportunity probably lies under your own feet, in your current job, industry, education, experience or interests."

"The act of taking the first step is what separates the winners from the losers."

"Excellence/Perfection is not a destination; it is a continuous journey that never ends."

"No one lives long enough to learn everything they need to learn starting from scratch. To be successful, we absolutely, positively have to find people who have already paid the price to learn the things that we need to learn to achieve our goals."

"Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking, "What's in it for me?"

"Never complain, never explain. Resist the temptation to defend yourself or make excuses."

"Every minute you spend in planning saves 10 minutes in execution; this gives you a 1,000 percent Return on Energy!"
