Beware trying to iron out all your quirks, perceived flaws and doubts. It's often these things that help you find strength, compassion, empathy for others and heart.

There is no shortage of external inspiration. Open your eyes and look and you'll be dazzled by it. But it's nothing if you fail to see the magic, wonder and potential that resides within.

Sometimes we have spent so long in the cage that it feels safer to be trapped inside.

I am a Freedom Seeker, committed to experiencing my life as my true self.

Freedom seeking is the path to coming alive again.

Freedom is found within.

When choosing a profession, a person will have good incentive for personal development by choosing such a profession that represents a personal challenge.

To have extreme, laser-like focus, you must be willing to reject a lot of opportunities, even if they sound great.

Circumstances, events or situations do not have inherent meanings except what you give them

Time is the first currency for success and one we all hold in common.

You receive the gift of time freely and equally every day, beautifully wrapped in twenty-four new hours to invest in whatever you want, and how you use each hour decides your success or the lack of it

Find something about yourself to laugh about every day.

The most important relationship in your life should be your relationship with yourself.

You are on your way to building a significant life when your service to others stops focusing on the now and the immediate future and instead focuses on generations to come and how your actions today will impact them long after you are gone.

To find true fulfilment, you must live your life’s purpose.

There isn’t a single definition of happiness to suit everyone’s requirements, but you know it when you feel it

Success and the pursuit of it can nourish your body, but only significance has the ability to nourish your mind, body and spirit.

Master the art of finding something to celebrate about in each moment and life will become an exciting adventure

Don’t try, be happy.

You already have the abundance of life in you, and each day you must decide to live abundantly by choosing not to live in the past, by never taking counsel of your fear, and most importantly by seeing the greatness within you and embracing it.

The abundant life should include all that life has freely given you – love, good health, success, prosperity, happiness, joy, spirituality, fulfilment, wisdom, purpose, growth and excitement.

To succeed in life you need five things – a burning desire, a willingness to do whatever it takes, wisdom, incredible effort, and a commitment to never ending improvement.

The greatest people in history were those who lived a life of significance and service. You can join them if you’re willing to serve.

You need time, perseverance, and patience to develop the character and abilities required for success.

Define success by your terms, not by other people’s standards.

Greatness is achieved when you fulfil your purpose by doing what you were born to do.

Always direct your emotions, desires, behaviour, and actions in the present so they are in alignment with what you want in your future.

Self-discipline is a prerequisite to progress.

Your ego does not need to be crushed, it needs to be redeemed.

Perfection is the lowest standard out there because it is unattainable. Be the best you can but don’t try to be someone you were not born to be.

Your words reveal your wants but your actions reveal your expectations.

You have mastered the art of discipline when you are able to act according to what you ultimately desire rather than how you feel in the present moment.

To get to ‘yes’ from ‘no’, you may have to journey through ‘maybe’.

Ninety-five per cent of your success or failure will come from your daily habits.

Staying true to your dream by using your mental, emotional and physical strength is discipline in action. You express it through focus, grit, self-control, persistence, perseverance, and willpower.

Discipline is more about self-control through your inner strength and less about restriction.

The ability to make yourself do what needs to be done at the appropriate time and in the appropriate manner – irrespective of your feelings – marks the true test of self-discipline.

Self-discipline is a learned habit that should be developed and continuously worked on through regular application, practice, and repetition.

Discipline begins where you are, and the key to sustaining the level of discipline you need lies in developing daily habits and routines which mirror the life you want to have.

The investment you make in others is transferred to everyone they influence long after you’re gone. Significance

Significance is about making a difference, and its pursuit should ideally come before the pursuit of success – or at least at the same time.

It’s not how long you live that matters, it’s how well you live.

Have you decided how great you want to be? It’s really up to you. Greatness is a choice.

Success may create excitement, but only significance leads to fulfilment.

Success lasts a lifetime but stops at the end of your life. Significance lasts many lifetimes and continues long after you’re gone.

If you see success as a race, then you will start eagerly with enthusiasm and passion with the hope of finishing quickly but there is much more to your success journey than your duration and speed.

Achievers are biased towards action despite any fear, and this courage sets them apart from others.

You need courage because at various moments in your life you might need to attempt something new, push yourself outside your comfort zone, challenge the status quo, change your story, or overcome your fear.

Your life is a direct reflection of your level of investment in yourself, and your success or the lack of it is often decided by your personal development level.

Commit to the lifestyle of investing in you first. It always produces the best return.

Investing in yourself is one of the foundations for better relationships, health, happiness, success, and prosperity.

You can’t excel in everything but you can be exceptional in a few things, so why not choose your life’s focus?

You will only ever achieve the level of success that matches your wisdom or personal development level.

Invest time, energy, and money into increasing your knowledge and wisdom so you can become the best you can be – it’s the best investment you could make.

Your wisdom decides your value, the size of the problems you can solve, the opportunities you create, and ultimately the level of success you experience.

To be successful choose an area of focus in life. It will identify where your energy should be invested and (more importantly) the source of your joy and success.

Progress can’t be achieved without investing in and constantly improving yourself.

Don’t ask what it will cost or how much of your time you will have to sacrifice. Instead, ask what it’s worth.

The level of success you experience externally is a reflection of your level of personal development internally.

Good mentors and coaches will help you reach your destination faster than you can by yourself.

If you wish to be and remain successful, invest a minimum of five to ten per cent of your income each month and your time each day on your personal growth and development.

Success can’t be achieved without personal development and constantly improving yourself.

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that your dreams, desires or goals are more important than fear.

Acting courageously is about knowing and making the right choices based on a deep conviction that dwarfs fear, doubt, and worry.

Courage is the ability to make yourself take action in spite of your fear.

Successful people’s dreams aren’t just about results. They’re about the changes their dreams will bring to their lives and the impact achieving their goal will have on those around them.

Dare to be different.

Big dreams only come true when you believe and have the courage to pursue them.

Courage is important but it shouldn’t be used in making impulsive decisions or taking uncalculated actions.

You might fear you don’t have what it takes, but you don’t need to have all the answers or everything figured right from the start.

Finding the courage to break away from other people’s opinions, and your self-limiting thoughts, could be the most significant breakthrough transformation you make on your journey to success.

You are a product of the stories you believe and accept.

Until you develop the courage to pursue that dream in your heart, you will never reach your true potential.

To become successful you have to dream big. Small dreams don’t have the magic to stir up passion and greatness within you.

Always take failure as an opinion never as an option.

Sometimes you learn, grow and give far more when your back's against the wall.

When you work on something that only has the capacity to make you 5 dollars, it does not matter how much harder you work – the most you will make is 5 dollars.

You only ever have three things: 1) your self, wellbeing and mindset 2) Your life network, resources and resourcefulness 3) Your reputation and goodwill. Treasure and tend the first. Value, support and build the second. And mindfully, wisely ensure that the third (your life current and savings account) is always in credit.

But if you forgive someone for something they did to you, it doesn’t mean you agree with what they did or believe it was right. Forgiving that person means you have chosen not to dwell on the matter anymore; you have moved on with your life.

We employ education and the convictions gained through the intermeshing of personal experiences and fresh ideas to establish the configuration of our being that in actuality was our mysterious potentiality from the very inception of our birth.

If it comes, let it come. If it goes, it's ok, let it go. Let things come and go. Don't let anything disturb your peace. Stay calm and carry on.

Convince yourself everyday that you are worthy of a good life. Let go of stress, breathe. Stay positive, all is well.

Envision life as you're juggling 6 balls. The balls are called faith, work, family, health, friends, and integrity. But one day, you realize that work is a rubber ball. If dropped, it will bounce back. The other 5 balls faith, family, health, friends, & integrity are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be surely scuffed, nicked, or even shattered. Grasp this concept and you will have the beginnings of balance in your life.

Don't waste your whole lifetime waiting for the perfect life when there's a perfectly good one within and right in front of you.

Personal experiences that disrupt stale routines result in the phenomena of cognitive dissiliency, jolting our minds and enhancing our ability to internalizing new information.

Success is a trophy, a title, something gained, attained or retained. Fulfilment, true happiness, contentment.... bliss is the gift of the self-realised. That is the real prize.

When you establish peace, when you etablish love, when you establish kindness here [inside], you cannot act any other way to the outside world.

You must have a level of discontent to feel the urge to want to grow.

We do not get to choose how we start out in life. We do not get to choose the day we are born or the family we are born into, what we are named at birth, what country we are born in, and we do not get to choose our ancestry. All these things are predetermined by a higher power. By the time you are old enough to start making decisions for yourself, a lot of things in your life are already in place. It’s important, therefore, that you focus on the future, the only thing that you can change.

Whenever I am in a difficult situation where there seems to be no way out, I think about all the times I have been in such situations and say to myself, "I did it before, so I can do it again.

our tomorrow isshaped by the choices we make today, consciously or unconsciously

Funny how in a material world full of pundits and economists obsessed with assets and liabilities -personally, economically and globally - few speak about the greatest of all these…YOU.

You can reach maximum performance by engaging in physical activities.

When we read books or acquire information about personal development even when we are mentally, emotionally, spiritually and/or physically healthy, we accumulate the personal inner tools that can save our minds from the negative consequences of a bad day.

When you being to awaken to your gifts, a first it can be alarming for the soul to reveal its truth. After some consideration and healthy boundaries the soul mellows and the action and revelation begins. Hold onto your seat, you are in for a wonderful wild ride.

I used to give advice, and no one wanted it. Now I give suggestions and everyone asks for more.

Wake up, it's your time to shine. You are the gift the world is waiting for. Stop being so selfish by hiding it. How much longer do we have to wait for your magnificence to shine light on our darkness?

There is an oak tree is inside the acorn seed, but the acorn seed will never become an oak tree unless it is willing to grow and develop

The oak tree is inside the acorn seed, but the acorn seed will never become the oak tree unless it is willing to grow and develop

What you truly own, is what you have inside you. Everything else can be destroyed, robbed or wasted.

You are either growing up or going down

It is only when you take responsibility for your life that you discover how powerful you truly are

Thinking little of yourself is not humility.

Stop waiting for the permission to do your life's greatest work, the earth isn't getting any younger. Jump into action knowing that you are either running by God's side or God is running with you in his arms towards your goals, your dreams, and your destiny.

A believe in yourself is powerful enough to turn you into a world leader while self-doubt and self-pity are powerful enough to turn you into a street loiterer

Life is the ultimate gift of experience and if you are not impressed by the blessing the Lord has given you every awaking day to make a difference, I say your stuck in the mud and you need to call AAA which is code for "Say A Prayer" and get pulled out. Love life and create positive SYNERGY with others while you can before this chapter closes.

It is who you are that matters and not how you look.

Surrendering to who you really are and why you are here may very well change the world.
