Brian Tracy

See yourself as a work in progress.

Surround your mind with healthy thoughts, thoughts of faith, and not fear, and you will produce faith results instead of fear results.

Move out of your comfort zone. You can only grow if you are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new.

You are the architect of your own destiny; you are the master of your own fate; you are behind the steering wheel of your life. There are no limitations to what you can do, have, or be. Accept the limitations you place on yourself by your own thinking.

If you can dream it, you can do it. Your limits are all within yourself.

Successful people tend to become more successful because they are always thinking about their successes.

My first professional job was to sell heavy-duty waterless cookware.

A fine quotation is a diamond on the finger of a man of wit, and a pebble in the hand of a fool.

I always did something I was a little not ready to do. I think that is how we grow.

In a lot of ways it is easier to do things on a large scale. It is easier to build a skyscraper in Manhattan than it is to buy a bungalow in the Bronx. For one thing, it takes just as much time to close a big deal as it does to close a small deal. You will endure as much stress and aggravation; you will have all the same headaches and problems. It is easier to finance a big deal. Bankers would much rather lend money for a big project than for a small one. They are more comfortable investing money in a big prestigious building than they are a rundown house in a bad section of town. If you succeed with the big project, you stand to gain a lot more money.

Sometimes you just got to give yourself what you wish someone else would give you.

My definition of an expert in any field is a person who knows enough about what’s really going on to be scared.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.

Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of nonessentials.

You can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them.

Yesterday ended last night. Today is a brand-new day.

You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.

Failure to plan ahead on your part does not create an emergency on my part.

Each problem that I solved became a rule which served afterwards to solve other problems.

Don’t let life discourage you; everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was.
