—Elisabeth Kubler-Ross (1926-2004) American Psychiatrist
The education of the will is the object of our existence.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–82) American Philosopher
We cannot be held to what is beyond our strength and means; for at times the accomplishment and execution may not be in our power, and indeed there is nothing really in our own power except the will: on this are necessarily based and founded all the principles that regulate the duty of man.
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–92) French Essayist
Do you know anyone who hasn’t changed his mind? This door was a tree, then it will be firewood for someone, then it will return to air and earth. We’re all like that, constantly changing.

—Byron Katie (b.1942) American Speaker, Author

Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
—Frank Herbert (1920–86) American Science Fiction Writer

Remember, ‘Even this will pass away.’

The number one reason most people don’t get what they want is that they don’t know what they want. Rich people are totally clear that they want wealth. They are unwavering in their desire. They are fully committed to creating wealth. As long as it’s legal, moral, and ethical, they will do whatever it takes to have wealth. Rich people do not send mixed messages to the universe. Poor people do.
—T. Harv Eker (b.1954) American Motivational Speaker, Lecturer, Author

If you listen to the Chatterbox, your experience of life is fear-producing, and you stop yourself from expanding.

Your task is now to become an expert at listening to your Higher Self. Then true choice will be possible.

When a man’s willing and eager the god’s join in.
—Aeschylus (525–456 BCE) Greek Poet
The purpose of life is not to win. The purpose of life is to grow and to share. When you come to look back on all that you have done in life, you will get more satisfaction from the pleasure you have brought into other people’s lives that you will from the times that you outdid and defeated them.
—Harold Kushner (b.1935) American Jewish Religious Leader, Priest

In our course we teach that “no thought lives in your head rent-free”. Each thought you have will either be an investment or a cost. It will either move you toward happiness and success or away from it. It will either empower you or disempower you. That’s why it is imperative you choose your thoughts and beliefs wisely.
—T. Harv Eker (b.1954) American Motivational Speaker, Lecturer, Author

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
—Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869–1948) Indian Hindu Political leader
Think of yourself as a container for wealth. If your container is small and your money is big, what’s going to happen? You will lose it. Your container will overflow and the excess money will spill out all over the place. You simply cannot have more money than the container. Therefore you must grow to be a big container so you cannot only hold more wealth but also attract more wealth. The universe abhors a vacuum and if you have a very large money container, it will rush in to fill the space.
—T. Harv Eker (b.1954) American Motivational Speaker, Lecturer, Author
