Quotations of Brian Tracy:

"The ability to discipline yourself to delay gratification in the short term in order
to enjoy greater rewards in the long term, is the indispensable prerequisite for success."

"Excellence is not a destination; it is a continuous journey that never ends."

"Winners make a habit of manufacturing their own positive expectations in advance
of the event."

"Worry is a sustained form of fear caused by indecision."

"Whatever we expect with confidence becomes our own self-fulfilling prophecy."

"Goals allow you to control the direction of change in your favor."

"Your greatest asset is your earning ability. Your greatest resource is your time."

"I've found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck, take more chances.
Be more active. Show up more often."

"For every difficulty that supposedly stops a person from succeeding there are thousands
who have had it a lot worse and have succeeded anyway. So can you."

"Do it now. Do it now. Do it now."

"What are you waiting for?"

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

"The more you seek security, the less of it you have. But the more you seek 
opportunity, the more likely it is that you will achieve the security that you desire."

"No one lives long enough to learn everything they need to learn starting from
scratch. To be successful, we absolutely, positively have to find people who have
already paid the price to learn the things that we need to learn to achieve our 
goals."

"Never say anything about yourself you do not want to come true."

"The happiest people in the world are those who feel absolutely terrific about
themselves, and this is the natural outgrowth of accepting total responsibility 
for every part of their life."

"How much we like ourselves governs our performance."

"All successful people men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their
future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their
distant vision, that goal or purpose."

"Decisiveness is a characteristic of high-performing men and women. Almost 
any decision is better than no decision at all."

"Successful people are simply those with success habits."

"Your decision to be, have and do something out of ordinary entails facing 
difficulties that are out of the ordinary as well. 
Sometimes your greatest asset is simply your ability to stay with it longer than
anyone else."

"You have within you right now, everything you need to deal with whatever the
world can throw at you."

"The price of success? You must sow before you reap. And you may have to work 
a long time before harvest. You have to pay the full price, in advance. Real 
success requires payment in full, in advance, every time. How can you tell 
when you have paid the price of success? Easy. The successful result will be there,
in front of you, for all to see ... by law, not by chance. When you have sewn,
you can reap. Cause and effect; action and reaction."

Success is a numbers game. It is based on intelligent effort and the law of averages.
If you try enough different things in enough different ways, and you learn from each 
trial, then you must inevitably be successful. The fear of failure causes people to 
try fewer and fewer things, thereby lowering the likelihood that they will ever 
achieve anything of consequence.

"The only way that you can tell what a person really believes is by his actions,
not his words. It's not what you say, or what you intend, or what you wish, or hope,
or pray for ... but only what you do that counts. Your true values and beliefs are
only and always expressed in your actions. One person who will take action is worth
ten brilliant talkers who end up doing nothing ... Only action is action. And nothing
else counts for much. Don't tell people what you're going to do. Show them."

MORE QUOTATIONS:

You only need two things to be successful. First, decide exactly what you want.
Most people never do this. And second, determine the price you must pay to get it,
and then resolve to pay that price.
-- H.L. Hunt, Oil billionaire, on life in America; as recounted by Brian Tracy

The successful man will profit from his mistakes by learning, then try again another way.
-- Dale Carnegie, paraphrased
