It takes time to get over our bad habits. We need to constantly interrupt those patterns and most importantly get off the path of self-sabotage. When our bad habits operate on autopilot, it's important that we become conscious of our acts. Every compulsive act that is detrimental to our health and well-being needs to be countered with a good habit.

Lots of people want a better job, healthier relationships, and more money in the bank. But no matter how hard you work on the outside, lasting change has to begin inside your own mind and heart.

Your internal world – your thoughts, habits, and core values – forms the bedrock that your external reality rests upon.

The key difference between the wealthy and everyone else isn't that they love money more. It's that for the rich, the good feelings they get from having ample money outweigh any bad feelings. But for most others lacking that abundance, the negative feelings about not having enough tend to dominate.

Constraints are blessings in disguise. We need to start coming up with constraints for ourselves (even when there aren't any) so that our inner creative genius shows up. When everything works out in our favor, we start becoming stagnant; but when we face a challenge, we get more inspired to awaken our inner creative genius and accomplish things we never thought we were capable of.

Today is Valentine’s Day, the day when love is in the air. And considering all the negative news from all around the globe that constantly floods our screens and makes us feel uncertain, pessimistic, and fearful of the future day in and day out, today is a wonderful opportunity to take the initiative and through random acts of kindness, sow the seeds of love and hope wherever we go.

Here’s an important truth to always keep at the back of our heads: Our personal circumstances have a minimal impact on our happiness — much less than we think they do. If we average out the research data from different studies, we’ll come to the conclusion that our individual circumstances account for only 10 percent of the variations in people’s levels of happiness. 

Hence, it’s best for us to not assume that any positive change in our circumstances would bring us tons of happiness in the long run. It just won’t!

If others are not keeping up their promises and doing certain things that drive you to the awful-town, then instead of being reactive, all you have to do is: assume good intentions. Believe that people have a good reason to do or not do something. Believe that people are trying their best. 

When it comes to dealing with disease, conventional wisdom often says we need to fight it and battle the illness. But according to the law of attraction, focusing all your energy on fighting disease can actually make it worse. This is because putting so much focus and effort into fighting something just brings more of that very thing into your experience.

Instead, the path to eradicating disease is to shift your mind away from the disease itself. Allow your chosen doctors and treatments to do their work, but keep your own thoughts, words, and imagination centered on vibrant health and well-being.

It’s important that we become proactive about accepting and dealing with negative emotions. What we resist will persist. Once we’re done experiencing a certain negative emotion in its entirety, only then we are able to let it go.

Distractions keep you away from reaching the magical flow state and attenuate your progress. Make conscious efforts to eliminate them so that you can maintain your rhythm of mastery and give your best work to the world and to the people who are counting on you.
