  1.                      “The first step to lighten up, to recover from seriousness, is to admit that you have a problem. You have to want to change, to become more easy-going.

  1.                      “Trade your expectations for appreciations.”

 

We always put stress on ourselves by putting pressure on ourselves to achieve a certain amount by an exact time. When you expect things and it doesn’t happen you feel angry, depressed, sad and pissed off. When you are just looking for things to appreciate, you’re totally fulfilled. Every time you’re expecting something, change the mindset to ‘Appreciate this and my whole world will change.’

 

 

 

  1.                      “To hold on is to be serious and uptight. To let go is to lighten up.”

 

I used to get always caught up in holding onto anger that I felt towards certain people. It got me nowhere and it made me feel heavy throughout the day. It wasn’t until I just let go of all the resentment and anger I felt towards the person that my whole world changed. Close your eyes and visualize the person or situation that you are angry or very serious about. Make the image as funny as possible by making the person have big ears. You can do whatever you want with your mind so change what you associate to the experience and you’ll begin to feel light and free.

 

 

 

  1.                      “With practice, you can lighten up your whole life. And when you lighten up, life is a lot more fun.”

 

I always tell people to practice feeling happy, excited and light. Most people train their mind to feel angry and depressed every day and it’s just a pattern. You can train your mind to do anything, so put the right rituals in place and anything’s possible.

 

 

 

  1.                      “The next time you find yourself in an argument, rather than defend your position, see if you can see the other point of view first.”

 

I get caught in this so much because I know I have to be right. I think at some level we all have a bit of self-righteousness inside but it takes a strong individual to take control and really hear what the other person is saying. Never judge to quick and realize that you don’t have to defend anything.

 

 

 

  1.                      “When you understand other positions and points of view, wonderful things begin to happen. First, you often learn something new. You expand your horizons.”

 

Never define yourself and close the door of learning from someone. I used to have a belief that I wouldn’t listen to someone that I perceived wasn’t as smart as me. I was shutting myself off from learning something that could help me. My new belief is that I can learn from anyone, this changed everything.

 

 

 

  1.                      “Almost always, if you are softer, the other person will be softer too. It might not happen right away, but in time, it will.”

 

If someone starts becoming very strong and angry it’s always important that you meet them at their level and then lead them to become softer. Be a leader.

 

 

 

  1.                      “There is often a fine line between success and failure, or winning and losing. And so often, the difference between the two lines is overcoming worry.”

 

Successful people and failures are very similar. The difference between the two is they both apply themselves but one never quits and the other does. If you can take on the warrior mindset and really believe it’ll work, your worry about it will go away.

 

 

 

  1.                      “Don’t listen to your head but to your heart.” – Zachary Dixon

 

So many people in life listen to their head and that’s what builds worry and stress. Many people go through life not following their heart and there’s a price to pay for that. Your heart is always the right answer. I always tell people, just follow your heart and you’ll end up in the place you want.

 

 

 

  1.                      “Being realistic is the most commonly travelled road to mediocrity.”

 

Most people set goals for themselves that are really small and they hit them. When you talk about your goals you should be getting people to say, ‘that’s impossible.’ You access more of your mind’s capacity if you set big goals and your brain does things you’re unaware of.

 

 

 

  1.                      “Making excuses burns zero calories.”

 

Most people don’t exercise because they have excuses like, ‘I don’t have the time, I have kids or I’m too old.’ If you tell yourself that consistently you’ll believe that excuse. If you are not where you want to be physically with your health, it’s your fault. You can tell people your excuses but that doesn’t change anything, if you want great health, work for it.

 

 

 

  1.                      “You miss 100% of the opportunity you don’t take.”

 

We get opportunities every day and most people don’t take them or see them. How many times in life have you seen an opportunity to meet someone new? To exercise? Or to create that business you’ve always wanted. If you don’t take action on it, you miss the opportunity.

 

 

 

  1.                      “80% of success is showing up.”

 

This is the place that most people don’t get to. When I see people at my seminars I always tell them and honour them because the biggest step is done. The hardest part about going to the gym is getting yourself there.

 

 

 

  1.                      “Life is 10% of what happens to me & 90% of how I react to it.”

 

We can’t control how we look, how tall we are or how athletic we are. 90% of life is how you respond to everything. You can attach any meaning you want anything, you are in control.

 

 

 

  1.                      “If you want the island, you need to burn the boats.”

 

If you want something in life, you must commit to it. So many people say they want something but have a safety blanket waiting for them. If you want something you must do whatever it takes to achieve it.

 

 

 

  1.                      “Winning isn’t everything but wanting to win is.”

 

You should wake up every day with the attitude of winning in life. Going to the gym is a win, telling your partner ‘I love you’ is a win. Always wake up with the mindset of wanting to win.

 

 

 

  1.                      “Either you run the day, or the day runs you.”

 

You need to have an action plan on what you need to do each day. This allows you to run your day. If you don’t have a plan, you’ll just be another leaf in the wind.

 

 

 

  1.                      “We become what we think about.”

 

You are who you choose to be. If you think you are an intelligent and thoughtful person, that’s what you’ll act and feel like. If you are thinking you are depressed you will manifest that reality also.

 

 

 

  1.                      “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.”

 

Many of us get caught up in living by what our family or peers think we should do. If you are in a position you don’t want to be in, change it. Live life on your terms and everything will fall into place.

 

  1.                      “People often say motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing. That’s why we recommend it daily.”

 

Motivation is just a state of mind. Lots of people say it doesn’t last but either does taking a shower or bathing. You should be reinforcing it daily for it to last.

 

 

 

  1.                      “Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.”

 

Your either in progression or regression. If you aren’t using the courage muscle you will slowly lose it. You can only become a stronger version of yourself by expanding your identity and pushing your comfort levels.

 

 

 

  1.                      “Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money but you can’t get more time.”

 

We get so caught up and stressed about making money that we forget about what’s really important. The time you have is the most important currency there is, so don’t live your life chasing something that isn’t real.

 

 

 

  1.                      “Don’t wish it was easier, wish you were better.”

 

Life is the way it is. Getting what you want is always going to be a challenge so you must focus on improving yourself so you can become better. Realize it’s an uphill climb but it makes you stronger every day.

 

 

  1.                      “If you want to become successful, find someone who is already getting the result, find out what they’re doing, copy them and you’ll get the same result.”

 

Once you find out what you want, find someone who is getting the result you want. Find out exactly what they are doing and replicate it yourself.

 

 

 

  1.                      “Quality questions create a quality life.”

 

Thinking is nothing but the process of asking and answering questions. We ask ourselves questions everyday so make sure you are conscious and ask yourself empowering questions. E.g. What am I really grateful for in my life? What am I excited about in my life? What are five things I’m proud of?

 

 

 

  1.                      “The quality of your life is the quality of your relationships.”

 

Whoever you are surrounding yourself with is who you become. If you are in relationships that don’t serve you, you will go down with the relationship. Find people that lift you up and cherish those friendships.

 

 

 

  1.                      “If you can’t then you must. If you must then you can.”

 

Most of the time we say we ‘can’t’ do something and if you repeat that you believe it. What if every time you said I can’t that means you must do it, how much would your life change? Realize if you had this mindset, you would have what you wanted.

 

 

 

  1.                      “Life is not a problem to be solved but a reality to experience.”

Life’s all about contribution. If you can live on this earth and contribute something that will live on beyond your death, your life was well worth it.

 

 

 

  1.                      “Life isn’t about finding yourself, it’s about creating yourself.”

 

When people say ‘I just want to find myself’, it’s not real. You can’t find yourself.  There won’t be a moment where you realized you have found yourself. Life’s about making yourself better and enjoying the moment of doing. It’s about starting with nothing and ending with everything. You are the creator of your own destiny.

 

 

 

  1.                      “Life is really simple but we insist on making it complicated.”

 

Life is actually easy but we make up all these beliefs about ourselves that aren’t real and it holds us back and creates massive problems. No one makes your life hard but you. Be in control of your emotions and everything will become easier.

 

 

 

  1.                      “We do not remember days, we remember moments.”

Life just is the way it is. There is no good or bad, right or wrong but it JUST IS. If you can realize that life is like that, stress will reduce massively.

 

 

 

  1.                      “In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.”

 

It’s not about how long you live but how you lived with the time you had. Some people can live to 25 and have a more rich life than the person whose in their 70s. Live it up every day, we don’t know how long we have.

 

 

 

  1.                      “If you live long enough, you’ll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you’ll be a better person. It’s how you handle adversity, not how it affects you. Just remember to never quit, never quit and never quit.”

  1.                      “You must act, things don’t come.”

 

We must act on our dreams and not hope all falls together. Life isn’t designed like that. We must focus on what we want and apply actions to achieve that outcome.

 

 

 

  1.                      “You don’t attract what you want, you attract who you are.”

 

Whatever kind of person you are, you are attracting. If you are a happy person you’ll attract more happy people. If you are sad, you’ll attract sad people.

 

 

 

  1.                      “How people treat you is your karma, how you react is yours.”

 

You are the controller of how you respond to situations. If you can be conscious of situations, you will have the ultimate power in life.

 

 

 

  1.                      “Sunny days wouldn’t be special if it wasn’t for rain, joy wouldn’t feel so good if it wasn’t for pain.”

 

Realize that feeling down sometime it’s very natural and good for you. If  you were happy all the time, it would get old. It’s good to have a healthy balance.

 

 

 

  1.                “I try to learn from the past, I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present. That’s where the fun is.”

 

Realize that the future is now. If you keep focusing on the future it’s always ahead of you. Realize this moment creates the future. The future is now.
