‘No one will value you if you don’t first value yourself.’

‘Circumstances are temporary, but your attitude is permanent. Quiet quitting sets an ugly precedent within yourself; don’t succumb to it.’

You will get better at what you are doing if you are willing to practice every day, If you are willing to do the work.

Remember, to get the prize, you must first do the work.

Start where you are. Do not make it too hard for yourself. Getting better at something is not about making it too hard. It is about paying attention to it.

Makt it simple. According to Dr. Eric Maisel, ‘Simple doesn’t mean static. Simple doesn’t mean doing exactly the same thing each day. Simple means doing the thing appropriate to that day’s practice.’

‘One kind of playfulness? Improv! Maybe that’s what your practice needs today, some improvisation!’

‘The content of your practice needs to be, not some simulation, substitute, or likeness.’

‘There is no ‘way’ to practice. There is only honesty and intention. Let your practice honestly and intentionally serve your desire to live your life purposes.’

‘You decide. Who else should?’

‘You must decide on the contours of our practice. And you must decide to actually practice. You can’t begin to practice without deciding to practice.’

‘You can spend an intense hour. Or an intense minute. Either way, make it intense!’

‘Kneading the dough? That requires your presence. Cutting the onions? That requires your presence. Whatever your presence is, be present.’

‘Is your daily practice a private one? It could be. But it doesn’t have to be. Practice in public, if that’s what your heart desires. Trust yourself to understand what your practice requires!

‘Inspiration may come. Let’s hope so! But perspiration first.’

‘Should you read yet another business book? Or actually spend time every day building your business?’

‘We may not be able to do a lot, but we can do what we can every day.’

‘Can you run away from all that chaos and noise? Wouldn’t it be better to stop and create some silence?

Do not just read these quotes. Use them to change how you do your work.

As always, you are more, not less!
