Quotes

  1. “One of our favorite sayings is: “Fear is vividly imagining exactly what you don’t want to happen, happening.””
  2. “The happier you are, the more attractive you will be to those you love and cherish. As a great teacher once said, “Happiness radiates like the fragrance from a flower and draws all good things toward you.”
  3. “Passions change and morph over time as one comes to know and understand oneself more deeply. As you follow your passions, you will find yourself drawn irresistibly onward until one day, you wake up and find you are living a passionate life, filled with a sense of destiny.”
  4. “To have absolute success in any area, the most important prerequisite must be that you have a passion for doing it.”
  5. “Passions are how you live your life. Goals are the things you choose to create in your life. For example, one of Jack’s passions is “being a multimillionaire.” Even if Jack wasn’t already a multimillionaire, his passion would be stated as “being a multimillionaire.” However, he may have a goal to earn $2 million dollars in the next year. What’s the difference? A passion is how you choose to live your life. Jack chooses to live life as a multimillionaire. A goal is something you aim to achieve. The goal could be stated “To earn $2 million dollars within the next year.”
  6. “Passions are about process. Goals are about outcomes.”
