“Examine the lives of successful people, and you will find that they have paid a price that is in direct proportion to the amount of success they have earned. Close examination will almost always reveal years of study and preparation before great success is achieved. This principle is consistent in virtually every field of individual achievement — in the arts, medicine, science, or business. Nothing worthwhile ever comes easily. As you consider your own goals, also consider what you are willing to sacrifice for what you expect to receive. You should be prepared to give generously of your time and talents long before expecting a return on your investment. Many “overnight successes” labored in obscurity for many years before they were finally recognized for their achievements.”
— Napoleon Hill

“Acceptance doesn’t mean resignation; it means understanding that something is what it is and that there’s got to be a way through it.”

“Your negative thoughts are not coming from you. How do I know? You’d never choose to have a negative thought. Negative thoughts are lies and you can win the battle by speaking truth to the lies. You have greatness in you. You are worthy. You are loved.”

“Concentration is the ability to think about absolutely nothing when it is absolutely necessary.”

“Eventually, meditation will make our mind calm, clear, and as concentrated as a laser which we can focus at will. This capacity of one-pointed attention is the essence of genius. When we have this mastery over attention in everything we do, we have a genius for life itself: unshakable security, clear judgment, and deep personal relationships.”
— Eknath Easwaran
