The ability to withstand the flinch comes with the knowledge that the future will be better than the past.

Behind every flinch is a fear or an anxiety – sometimes rational, sometimes not. Without the fear, there is no flinch. But wiping out the fear isn’t what’s important – facing it is.

You can change the world again, instead of protecting yourself from it.

What you’re missing is that the path itself changes you.

So if you see no one like you, no one who agrees, don’t worry. There are actually hundreds of people like you, and they’re waiting for a leader. That person is you.

Success works as a cycle – growth and contraction, balancing and unbalancing – all while you’re encountering hurdles that get higher and higher over time.

You can’t make yourself feel positive, but you can choose how to act, and if you choose right, it builds your confidence.

You don’t know anyone at the party, so you don’t want to go. You don’t like cottage cheese, so you haven’t eaten it in years. This is your choice, of course, but don’t kid yourself:...

No one has a problem with the first mile of a journey. Even an infant could do fine for a while. But it isn’t the start that matters. It’s the finish line.

You will never be entirely comfortable. This is the truth behind the champion – he is always fighting something. To do otherwise is to settle.

Everything you are used to, once done long enough, starts to seem natural, even though it might not be.

The truth is that judgment and fear will never stop, but they don’t actually do anything.

Getting lost is not fatal. Almost every time, it will make your world.
