Successful people aren’t born that way. They become successful by establishing the habit of doing things unsuccessful people don’t like to do.

You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.

You can either be a host to God, or a hostage to your ego. It's your call.

What are you waiting for? If you waiting you are already in trouble. If you want something get off the bench and start walking. Life reward the person who initiate something that he want.

The path to success is to take massive, determined action.

It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives. It's what we do consistently.

It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.

You leave old habits behind by starting out with the thought, ‘I release the need for this in my life. 

There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.

The secret to permanently breaking any bad habit is to love something greater than the habit. 

Don’t try to be perfect. Just try to be better than you were yesterday.

You are what you want to become. Why search anymore? You are a wonderful manifestation. The whole universe has come together to make your existence possible. There is nothing that is not you. The kingdom of God, the Pure Land, nirvana, happiness, and liberation are all you.

Don’t try to be perfect. Just try to be better than you were yesterday.

Results happen over time, not overnight. Work hard, stay consistent, and be patient.

Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did.

Maturity is when you stop complaining and making excuses, and start making changes.

I’m not telling you it is going to be easy, I’m telling you it’s going to be worth it.

Trust and value your own divinity as well as your connection to nature. Seeing God's work everywhere will be your reward.

The best way to stop a bad habit is to never begin it.

Our character is basically a composite of our habits. Because they are consistent, often unconscious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character.

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.

The most valuable form of discipline is the one that you impose upon yourself. Don’t wait for things to deteriorate so drastically that someone else must impose discipline into your life.

Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did.

Most of what passes for legitimate entertainment is inferior or foolish and only caters to or exploits people's weaknesses. Avoid being one of the mob who indulges in such pastimes. Your life is too short and you have important things to do. Be discriminating about what images and ideas you permit into your mind. If you yourself don't choose what thoughts and images you expose yourself to, someone else will, and their motives may not be the highest. It is the easiest thing in the world to slide imperceptibly into vulgarity. But there's no need for that to happen if you determine not to waste your time and attention on mindless pap.

Other people's views and troubles can be contagious. Don't sabotage yourself by unwittingly adopting negative, unproductive attitudes through your associations with others.

Successful people are simply those with successful habits.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

You cannot change your future, but you can change your habits, and surely your habits will change your future.

It's never too late to change your life for the better. You don't have to take huge steps to change your life. Making even the smallest changes to your daily routine can make a big difference to your life.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

The abundance you desire to experience must first be an experience in your mind.

We need to separate the real rewards that give our lives meaning from the false rewards that keep us distracted and addicted. Learning to make this distinction may be the best we can do.

You will never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.

In order to design successful habits and change your behaviors, you should do three things. Stop judging yourself. Take your aspirations and break them down into tiny behaviors. Embrace mistakes as discoveries and use them to move forward.

We live in an aspiration-driven culture that is rooted in instant gratification. We find it difficult to enact or even accept incremental progress. Which is exactly what you need to cultivate meaningful long-term change.

Don’t expect to be motivated every day to get out there and make things happen. You won’t be. Don’t count on motivation. Count on Discipline.

The ability to delay immediate gratification for the sake of future consequences is an acquirable cognitive skill.

In most cases you are the one who confuses just doing the job with testing your worth. Replace 'I have to' with 'I choose to'.

Denis Waitley, the author of The Psychology of Winning and The Joy of Working, who defines procrastination as “a neurotic form of self-defensive behavior” aimed at protecting one’s self-worth.

The enemy is Resistance.

I am a slow walker, but I never walk back.

Daily Happiness Mini Habit Ideas:
- Write down or think of one thing you’re grateful for
- Write down or think one positive thought about life
- Thank one person for something they’ve done for you
- Say hi to one stranger
- Connect with one friend
- Make eye contact with a stranger (good starting point for social improvement)
- Do one thing to reduce your stress
- Help one person
- Hug one person - Savor 1 bite per meal
- Smile once (this is not insignificant)
- Laugh once (smiling/laughing trigger a release of feel-good chemicals in the brain even if you fake them, but don’t fake them)

Be happy, but never satisfied.

Strive for continuous improvement, instead of perfection.

Keep practicing, even when you seem to be getting nowhere.

Self-discipline is the ability to organize your behavior over time in the service of specific goals.

Thus the key to happiness lies not in changing our genetic makeup (which is impossible) and not in changing our circumstances (i.e., seeking wealth or attractiveness or better colleagues, which is usually impractical), but in our daily intentional activities. 

Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle.

Any ideas, plan, or purpose may be placed in the mind through repetition of thought.

To change a habit, make a conscious decision, then act out the new behavior.

Your nervous system cannot tell the difference between an imagined experience and a ‘real’ experience.

Genius is one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.

Incremental change is better than ambitious failure... Success feeds on itself.

Seven Steps to Success
1) Make a commitment to grow daily.
2) Value the process more than events.
3) Don't wait for inspiration.
4) Be willing to sacrifice pleasure for opportunity.
5) Dream big.
6) Plan your priorities.
7) Give up to go up.

Practice doesn’t make perfect. Practice makes myelin, and myelin makes perfect.

Ignore the bad habit and put your energy toward building a new habit that will override the old one.

As the martial artist and actor Bruce Lee said, “I fear not the man who has practiced ten thousand kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick ten thousand times."

You don't have to get it perfect, you just have to get it going. Babies don't walk the first time they try, but eventually they get it right.

Decide what you want. Believe you can have it. Believe you deserve it and believe it’s possible for you. And then close your eyes and every day for several minutes, and visualize having what you already want, feeling the feelings of already having it. Come out of that and focus on what you’re grateful for already, and really enjoy it. Then go into your day and release it to the Universe and trust that the Universe will figure out how to manifest it.

Time is a created thing. To say 'I don't have time,' is like saying, 'I don't want to'.

Discipline yourself and others won't need to.

The ultimate form of intrinsic motivation is when a habit becomes part of your identity. It’s one thing to say I’m the type of person who wants this. It’s something very different to say I’m the type of person who is this.

The more pride you have in a particular aspect of your identity, the more motivated you will be to maintain the habits associated with it. If you’re proud of how your hair looks, you’ll develop all sorts of habits to care for and maintain it. If you’re proud of the size of your biceps, you’ll make sure you never skip an upper-body workout. If you’re proud of the scarves you knit, you’ll be more likely to spend hours knitting each week. Once your pride gets involved, you’ll fight tooth and nail to maintain your habits.

...I’ve discovered that if you want to reach your true potential, it’s much more effective to ignite a new passion for life than to dwell on past problems.

Frequency makes starting easier. Getting started is always a challenge. It’s hard to start a project from scratch, and it’s also hard each time you re-enter a project after a break. By working every day, you keep your momentum going. 

You can replace any pattern of behavior (or thought) with another. All it takes is relentless practice.

Only a habit can subdue another habit.

With focus and consistency you can change your habits. By changing your habits, you reprogram the behaviors that control most of your life and ultimately determine your success.

Everyone procrastinates. The difference between high performers and low performers is largely determined by what they choose to procrastinate on.

The most valuable tasks you can do each day are often the hardest and most complex. But the payoff and rewards for completing these tasks efficiently can be tremendous.

Small disciplines repeated with consistency every day lead to great achievements gained slowly over time.

Discipline equals freedom.

Repetition is the mother of skill.

Success is actually a short race—a sprint fueled by discipline just long enough for habit to kick in and take over.

A daily routine built on good habits and disciplines separates the most successful among us from everyone else. A routine is exceptionally powerful.

The real cost of a four-dollar-a-day coffee habit over 20 years is $51,833.79. That’s the power of the Compound Effect.

Losing is a habit. So is winning. Now let’s work on permanently instilling winning habits into your life.

Since your outcomes are all a result of your moment-to-moment choices, you have incredible power to change your life by changing those choices. Step by step, day by day, your choices will shape your actions until they become habits, where practice makes them permanent.

The Principle of Reinforcement: The more we think about, talk about and write about something happening, we improve the probability of that thing happening.

The Principle of Balance: When the Conscious, Subconscious and Self-Image are all balanced and working together, good performance is easy.

I choose to think about, talk about, and write about what I wish to have happen in my life.

Having a routine can be very powerful in this regard. If you compete day in and day out to excel at something in a systematic way, you can’t help but improve.

The clear implication was that the best advice for young writers and aspiring professors is: Write every day. Use your self-control to form a daily habit, and you’ll produce more with less effort in the long run.

Ask your brain to do math every day, and it gets better at math. Ask your brain to worry, and it gets better at worrying. Ask your brain to concentrate, and it gets better at concentrating. 

Greatness is predicated on consistently doing things others can’t or won’t do. Simply put, success is not about being brilliant. It is about being consistent.

What happens to us becomes part of us. Resilient people do not bounce back from hard experiences; they find healthy ways to integrate them into their lives. In time, people find that great calamity met with great spirit can create great strength.

What you will become is a result of what you are willing to endure. Are you willing to work hard? To think hard? I know that you are. You always have been.

Control over consciousness is not simply a cognitive skill. At least as much as intelligence, it requires the commitment of emotions and will. It is not enough to know how to do it; one must do it, consistently, in the same way as athletes or musicians who must keep practicing what they know in theory.

Discipline is what you must have to resist the lure of excuses.

There are 999 other success principles that I have found in my reading and experience, but without self-discipline, none of them work. With self-discipline, they all work.

Resilience is the maintenance of high levels of positive affect and well-being in the face of adversity. It is not that resilient individuals never experience negative affect, but rather that the negative affect does not persist.

Greatness is the result of visionaries who persevere, focus, believe, and prepare. It is a habit, not a birthright.

A year of intense exercise and watching what you eat will likely change the trajectory of your life physically. You will melt away fat, tone up muscle, feel better, and change your habits, likely for life. But only ten days of that exercise program won’t move the needle on the scale. To create big-time success you have to stay focused and stay intense over an extended period of time. 

The secret of success of every man who has ever been successful lies in the fact that he formed the habit of doing things that failures don’t like to do. 

Whatever you habitually think yourself to be, that you are. You must form, now, a greater and better habit; you must form a conception of yourself as a being of limitless power, and habitually think that you are that being. It is the habitual, not the periodical thought that decides your destiny.

It's a lot more than mind over matter. It takes relentless self discipline to schedule suffering into your day, every day.

Be more than motivated, be more than driven, become literally obsessed to the point where people think you're fucking nuts.

The four stages to competency are:
1. Unconscious Incompetence
2. Conscious Incompetence
3. Conscious Competence
4. Unconscious Competence

Daily progress is the secret of success.
