You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something by blaming him, but you won't succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is making you unhappy."
-- Wayne Dyer

-- Rudolph Giuliani (quoted in Howard Gardner: Changing Minds)

"Embrace change, you need it in order to be successful. If nothing changes, then nothing changes. If you want a different outcome, you have to do something different. Some of your habits and actions are working fine for you, but you probably have other habits or take other actions that don't work for you. You need to change things, in order to create change for yourself. Look through the outcomes you are getting and see what you would like to be different, then work backwards and see what may be causing these unwanted outcomes. Perhaps you have to change your education, your friends, your work habits, whatever, but you will find that change is needed. Start to make those changes and you will find that things change for you."
-- Edward W. Smith, author of Sixty Seconds To Success

Even when change is elective, it will disorient you. You may go through anxiety. You will miss aspects of your former life. It doesn't matter. The trick is to know in advance of making any big change that you're going to be thrown off your feet by it. So you prepare for this inevitable disorientation and steady yourself to get through it. Then you take the challenge, make the change, and achieve your dream."-- Harvey Mackay

"I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination."
