Man, there were some great entries for this contest - I especially enjoyed the ones where people are quoting me

1st Place and winner of an Expect Success Book (filled with positive quotes) is Marty P (#42), for its sheer thoroughness:

Focus is one of the most important day-to-day tasks that top performers, or those that want to be top performers, have to understand to reach their goals.
What is Focus?
I have personally heard many stories and application of focus and will share of few examples with you.

What do you do to confront fear? I have a suggestion – practice gratitude. Tony Robbins says, “When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears.” It is so true, gratefulness removes fear.
You have probably heard Oprah talking about keeping a gratitude journal. Coaching programs that I have taken part in talk about the gratitude principal and I recently heard a sermon on the topic of changing pleading into thankfulness.
We at Freedom Personal Development talk about thankfulness and gratefulness all the time, and yet as much as it is common knowledge that gratefulness has so much power, we often do not do it. Why is that?
I believe one of the reasons are the habits we have created in Read More...
When I woke up this morning, I was so pumped and excited about my life, I just had to take a minute to share some of the techniques I use. These are things I have incorporated into my morning routine which has lead to a difference in my overall attitude and excitement for the day. My attitude was good before and now, with some modifications to my morning routine, my attitude is fabulously phenomenal!
So as soon as I wake up, I am pumping my fist or doing some type of hand motion saying how outstanding and great today is, such as, “I am grateful to be alive and have the abundance around me.” I look at my wife and she is usually sleeping still. She is so beautiful when she is sleeping. Sometimes she Read More...

Nido Qubein taught me that there are fundamentally two kinds of people. There are those who wake up and say “Ooooh, good morning God!” Then there are those who say “Oh, good god…morning.” Which are you?
During the day, there are 2 times that your brain is most receptive to “programming”. One of these times is as soon as you wake up (the other is before you go to bed.)
Whether it is conscious or unconscious, the first few thoughts you have when you wake up will set the tone for the rest of your day. Spoken out loud they can be even more powerful.
So, how do you start your day? Do you say something positive (either to yourself or out loud) or are you grumbling about having to get up?

The story of “The Daffodil Principle” originally appeared nearly ten years ago in Jaroldeen Edwards’ book Celebration! The story illustrates 3 key points of how to create grand results in your life and the world. These are
- Moving towards a goal one tiny step at a time
- Loving the doing
- Using the accumulation of time
When we multiply tiny pieces of time with small increments of daily effort, we too will find we can accomplish magnificent things. We can change the world.

Spring is in the air! Driving around this time of year, it’s hard NOT to notice the vibrant green colors that radiate from the grass, fields, and tips of trees. It’s almost as if there is a light turned on under the ground, or inside the trees, which makes the green shine so bright. As I observe nature’s new growth, I am aware of the physical manifestation of what I have been pondering in great length recently – the inextricable link between growth and radiating joy.
You see, I’ve observed this in people: when they are growing–when they are pushing themselves to produce something new or to reach a new level–they seem to be really joyful. When people feel Read More...
