Notes
The best point to make new choices is when you feel alert, clearheaded, and intelligent.
A 6, 7, or 8 is the answer you give when you know you don’t have what you want, but you aren’t ready to face up to it yet.
Allow yourself to let go of any group, person, career, or activity that no longer resonates with you, and you’ll soon attract more compatible opportunities into your life.
If you aren’t driven to act, it means your intentions are weak…You’re trying to create something you don’t want badly enough, and it’s dying on the vine.
If you fail to claim authority over your own life, someone else will surely claim it for you.
If your path has no heart, you’re on the wrong path. The heart-centered path is that of courage, not false security. The illusion of security is the primary aim of the false path.
Once you have the information you need to make a decision, start a timer and give yourself just 60 seconds to make the actual decision.
The difference between earning $25 per hour versus $250 per hour is that the latter work has much greater social value.
Power is a direction, not a position.
…all beliefs are lenses and cannot define us.
Deciding is important. To decide is to cut off all other paths of action. Many people are afraid to decide.
