Going through Big Idea MasterMind’s 30 days to 10k program I read the article “The Strangest Secret” by Earl Nightingale

Here’s some quotes the really resonated with me:

Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal.

Rollo May said, “The opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice…it is conformity.”

The human race is fixed, not to prevent the strong from winning, but to prevent the weak from losing.

All philosophers agree on this point: We become what we think about.

The mind, like the land, will return what you plant, but it doesn’t care what you plant.

The moment you decide on a goal to work toward, you’re immediately a successful person – you are then in that rare group of people who know where they are going. Out of every hundred people, you belong to the top five.

Don’t concern yourself too much with how you are going to achieve your goal – leave that completely to a greater power than yourself. All you have to do is know where you’re going. The answers will come to you of their own accord, and at the right time.

The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can’t find them, make them.
