[edit] Quotes

"Perhaps one of the greatest discoveries in history is this simple truth: you become that which you think about most of the time. No one is smarter than you, no one is better than you, no one has more inborn talent than you. But successful people, at one point or another, set their minds on becoming that which they have now become."

"The sad fact is that people are poor because they have not yet decided to be rich. People are overweight and unfit because they have not yet decided to be thin and fit. People are inefficient time wasters because they haven't yet decided to be highly productive in everything they do."

"The solution to the problems of marriage and parenting is simple. Spend more time with the people you care about the most." }

"Your life only gets better, when you get better!"

"You are a living magnet. What you attract into your life is in harmony with your dominant thoughts."

"The secret to success is to resolve to do what you say you will do" (Power of Clarity bonus disc)

"Peak performance begins with your taking complete responsibility for your life and everything that happens to you."^{[citation needed]}
