Quotes from Marie Forleo

Don't feel sorry for yourself. Only assholes do that. Haruki Murakami

Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less. Attributed to Marie Curie

When you change a belief, you change everything.

You never get stronger if you only do easy things. I didn't want fear to calcify in my bones. I refuse to energetically shrink down into a smaller, less capable me. Just because I made a mistake and messed up didn't mean I was going to give up.

Our educational system doesn't train us to harness the power of our thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and the wisdom of our bodies. It doesn't teach us how to develop winning mindsets, perspectives, and practical habits not only to meet and overcome life's challenges but also to experience real joy and fulfillment. It fails to show us how much intrinsic power we all have. Sadly, we get very little (if any) practical training on how to use our gifts to make a difference.

Avoidance doesn't extinguish your fear, action does.

Excuses are dream killers. If we allow them, our excuses will keep us locked in a prison of our own making.

Success doesn't come from what you do occasionally; it comes from what you do consistently.

The key to demolishing the time excuse is to first embrace the fact that everything you're doing with your twenty-four hours is a choice. Your choice. A choice that you make and a choice you can change.

Worst-case scenarios are often low-probability events. They're even less likely to happen if you strategize how to prevent them from happening, and how you'd deal with them if they did.
