Words to live by

Last week I posted a quote by Anthony Robbins and recommended his book, Unlimited Power. Ironically, I was cleaning up my inbox today and stumbled upon an e-mail I sent myself in June of 2006. The subject was “Words to live by”, and included the following excepts from Unlimited Power:

• There’s no such thing as failure. There are only results! or an outcome….

• Your belief will become your reality! The brain will do what it’s told!

• Human behavior is the result of the state we’re in. Your state is the result of your internal representations and your physiology.

• How you’re feeling is not the result of what is happening in your life-it is your interpretation of what is happening.

• Successful people are willing to do W.I.T (Whatever It takes).

• Belief in failure is a way of poisoning the mind.

• Belief can turn on or shut off the flow of ideas.

• John Stuart Mill once said, “One person with a belief is equal to a force of ninety-nine who have only interest”.

• When we congruently believe something is true, it is like delivering a command to our brain saying how to represent what is occurring.

• “Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.” -William Shakespeare

You’d think I co-authored the book the way I’ve been talking about it so much. I’ve always been pretty big on reading/listening to leaderhip and personal development books. Maybe I’ll start adding some other “lessons” from different authors in the thoughts section of this blog.
