Brian Tracy

You can make just about anything of your life-anything you will believe or will visualize, anything you will pray for and work for. Look deeply into your mind. Amazing wonders are there. Whatever the situation may be, you can improve it.

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.

If you can dream it, you can do it. Your limits are all within yourself.

Successful people tend to become more successful because they are always thinking about their successes.

Successful people are those who are willing to delay gratification and make sacrifices in the short term so that they can enjoy far greater rewards in the long term.

You are the architect of your own destiny; you are the master of your own fate; you are behind the steering wheel of your life. There are no limitations to what you can do, have, or be. Accept the limitations you place on yourself by your own thinking.

You’re a fighter. Look at everything you’ve overcome. Don’t give up now.

I was in that part of the class that made the top half possible.

Never, ever give up. There will be times in your life you’ll want to quit, you’ll want to go home, you’ll want to go home perhaps to that wonderful mother that’s sitting back there watching you and say, ‘Mom, I can’t do it. I can’t do it.’ Just never quit. Go back home and tell mom, dad, ‘I can do it, I can do it. I will do it.’ You’re going to be successful.

An entrepreneur’s ability to find strength when others want to run, hide, quit, or blame someone else for their failures.

You don’t have to be a fantastic hero to do certain things to compete. You can just be an ordinary person, sufficiently motivated to reach challenging goals.

When you are wronged repeatedly, the worst thing you can do is continue taking it – fight back!

I like work: it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours.

Most people overestimate what they can do in one year and underestimate what they can do in ten years.

I am convinced after more than 50 years in the field of motivation that anyone who wants to learn to look at life and/or their circumstances in a positive light can do so.

Only when you combine sound intellect with emotional discipline do you get rational behavior.

Ideas that enter the mind under fire remain there securely and for ever.

The young athlete who aspires to greatness, generally speaking, learns a number of things from several different coaches. The first one taught him the fundamentals; the second one instilled discipline in him and taught him more of the techniques that must be mastered to excel.

Don’t become a wandering generality. Be a meaningful specific.

The intelligent man finds almost everything ridiculous, the sensible man hardly anything.

You can succeed at almost anything for which you have unbridled enthusiasm.
