I’ve been collecting quotes for years. Here are a few of my favorites (especially #s 10 and 21):Â
1. “Fear gives birth to faith.” – Lisa Jimenez, from her book, Conquer Fear
2. “Once I decide to do something, I can’t have people telling me I can’t. If there’s a roadblock, you jump over it, walk around it, or crawl under it.” – Kitty Kelley
3. “Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results.” – anon
4. “Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.” – Sir Cecil Beaton
5. “Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” – Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich
6.”Vision is not enough. It must be combined with venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps, we must step up the stairs.” – Vaclav Havel
7.”There are No Limits on What You can Achieve with Your Life, Except the Limits You accept in Your Mind.” - Brian Tracy
8. “If you can’t, you must. If you must, you can.” – Anthony Robbins
9. “If you don’t risk anything, you risk even more.” – Erica Jong
10. “Too much thinking leads to more confusion. Trust your gut, it’s much more succinct.” – Lorraine Cohen
11. “Climbing is not about conquering the rock; it is about conquering yourself.” - Jim Collins, Author, Good to Great
12. “The best way to get something done is to begin.” – Anonymous
13. “To understand the magical nature of the mind is to acquire awesome power. It is to understand that at every moment of our lives, we have the power to accomplish everything we want.” – Deepak Chopra
14. “Don’t be pushed by your problems. Be led by your dreams.” – Anonymous
15. “Be yourself; no base imitator of another, but your best self. There is something which you can do better than another. Listen to the inward voice and bravely obey that. Do the things at which you are great, not what you were never made for.” – Ralph Waldo EmersonÂ
16. “Watch your thoughts, they become words; watch your words, they become actions; watch you actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become character; watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.” – Frank Outlaw
17. “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
18. “People are not lazy. They simply have impotent goals—that is, goals that
don‘t inspire them.” -Anthony Robbins
19. “It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.” – Seneca
20. “Life’s weather is but temporary.
It’s the seasons that really matter.
Finding balance in the storm. Life.” – Anonymous
21. “When we come to the edge of all the light we have
And must take a step into the darkness of the unknown
We must believe one of two things
Either we will find something firm to stand on
Or, we will be taught to fly.”
-Richard Bach, Jonathon Livingston Seagull

Excellent quotes collections. #16 reminds of the secret (law of attraction) which something for me are all theories and never been become a law. How about you lorraine, do you believe in the law of attraction?

Hi Jan
#16 is one I feel very strongly about. I believe that all thoughts, feelings, and actions carry a vibration and that our outer world is a reflection of who we are inside – what we are vibrating to. Yes, I believe in the Law of Attraction in a more expanded way than is currently being described. There are many more Universal Laws operating that impact our life experience.
You?
Cheers,
Lorraine

I doubt it lorraine. I’ll just take it as a common sense that if you put much effort and a little bit of positive attitude to what you aspires to then there is no doubt that it will come true..and there is no secret.:-)

This is my favorite -> Vision is not enough. It must be combined with venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps, we must step up the stairs.
