I learned that the only way things are going to change
for me is when I change." -- Jim
Rohn
"To
improve your life, be prepared to make new choices and
decisions." - Brian
Tracy

you a thermometer or a thermostat? A thermometer only
reflects the temperature of its environment, adjusting
to the situation. But a thermostat initiates action
to change the temperature in its environment." -

"You
must be on top of change or change will be on top of you."
- Mark Victor Hansen
"Always
be eager to learn, no matter how successful you might

- Jim Rohn
"Develop
a mentor at each stage of your career -- someone who will

greatest discovery of any generation is that a human being
can alter his life by altering his attitude." --

"Every
life form seems to strive to its maximum except human
beings. How tall will a tree grow? Answer...as tall as
it possibly can. Human beings, on the other hand,
have been given the dignity of choice. You can choose
to be all or you can choose to be less. Why not stretch
up to the full measure of the challenge and see what all
you can do?" -- Jim
Rohn
"For
many people, change is more threatening than challenging.
They see it as the destroyer of what is familiar and comfortable
rather than the creator of what is new and exciting."
- Nido Qubein

by refining their philosophy." -- Jim
Rohn
"Change
is inevitable. Change is constant." -- Benjamin
Disraeli
"The
search for static security -- in the law and elsewhere
is misguided. The fact is security can only be achieved
through constant change, adapting old ideas that have
outlived their usefulness to current facts." -- William
O. Douglas
"The
world goes up and the world goes down, the sunshine follows
the rain; and yesterday's sneer and yesterday's frown
can never come over again." -- Charles
Kingsley

and fulfillment come from abandoning old practices and
embracing new ones." -

a creator of circumstances rather than just a creature
of circumstances. Be proactive rather than reactive."

must die in order to grow - your old habits, your old
self image, your old thinking, your old life... must be
weeded out for the seeds of success to grow." -

"The
one law that does not change is that everything changes,
and the hardship I was bearing today was only a breath
away from the pleasures I would have tomorrow, and those
pleasures would be all the richer because of the memories
of this I was enduring." -- Louis
L'Amour
