Steve Backley, The Champion in all of Us: 12 Rules for Success

"Too often, people get stuck in a state of over-thinking, the result is that they never reach a decision."

"They don’t give Olympic medals out for talking a good game."

"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."

"If you remain static and wait for success to come to you it will certainly not happen."

"If you decide not to take action, you are going to fail, and even if you do take action, if you can’t keep up your motivation, you will simply end up back where you started."

"Just identify the very first physical action you need to take, and do it."

"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."

"Success is simply never giving in to failure - either in mind or body."

"Tell me your thinking, and I’ll tell you what your life looks like."

"For many, lack of achievement is more a consequence of fear of taking a chance and getting uncomfortable."

"Your current apathy is simply your soul telling you that it is confused."

"Remember, if you don’t do anything – if you don’t change the way your mind works and direct your subconscious mind to create the life you want – then everything stays the same, nothing changes."

"Mix with positive-minded people as a means to tap into your unexploited potential."
