Silent Passion
Do you excel at something in life but cannot see a future where that could provide you with financial freedom? We all need to pay our bills and put food on the table, so we choose to spend our time doing things that will make this possible. This is not a failure by any means; it’s a noble act to provide for your family. What if you could find a world where your greatest passion was your career? You would not only put food on the table but live every day with a full plate.
If you have a passion in life, you cannot store it on a shelf that no one can find, in the back of a pantry, no one can see. Give it a voice every day and embrace the freedom and joy it will create. Life is not just about the necessities but about abundance. It is necessary to do the things you love if you seek the ingredients to prepare a life that will leave you satisfied.
Use this quote when you have a passion that you choose to silence.

Friendly Fear
Fear is such a powerful emotion that most of us choose to let it control every aspect of our lives. It can be so pronounced you can feel its weakening as sickness. Fear is not only powerful, but it can be immobilizing. It can make us drop to our knees and throw in the towel before we step into the ring. We see fear as defeat and not as direction.
When you realize fear is an opportunity, you will understand that holding the towel close will create the sweat needed to accomplish any goal. If you feel fear, be thankful that you can feel something. Once you understand that fear is not your opponent but your cut man, you will lace up the gloves with confidence. You will be ready to put in the hard work necessary to see life with a poise to knock out any obstacle entering your ring.
Use this quote when you are ready to attack your fears and face any obstacle that stands in your way.

Disappearing Doubt
The most impossible dream does not have to live at a distance if you believe it is possible. When you decide that the fear you feel every day holds the key to your deepest desires, you will understand. Once you let your dreams overpower your doubt, your mind will be free to unlock the door where your dream has been left to die.
You may not see it today, but if you look closely and intently through this hollow door, you will see that your dream is still breathing. From a distance, it may be surrounded in darkness, but once you start to take small steps toward your dream, it will start to rise from the darkness, and doubt will disappear. With every positive thought you inject in your mind, your dream gains strength. With positivity and belief, you will soon be ready to take the next step.
Use this quote when you have a dream that has been gasping for a new beginning.

Witnessing Decisions
When fear becomes the deciding factor in how you make decisions, you will witness freedom or experience defeat. You need to control how you respond to the fear you face every day. Fear can drive you out of your comfort zone if you decide to put two hands on the wheel. It can control how many red lights you see as the traffic starts to clutter your mind.
When you free yourself from the fears you face in life, your decisions will become clearer. Fear can guide our choices. If you do not know why you feel fear, you will never be present when you need its direction. Be a witness to what it represents and understand that it can provide you with the green light to put your foot on the gas. Only you can embrace fear, and only you can decide who sits behind the wheel.
Use this quote when you start to make a decision based on fear so you can reevaluate what drives your decisions.

Fearless Mind
The power of fear can be felt from the deepest parts of your stomach to the most unfamiliar parts of your mind. It can only survive and break your will because you chose to see its negative personality.
When you start to see fear as a tool and not a limitation, you will understand the true power and potential it can possess. The physical reaction to fear can be real, but once you realize how to control and respond to its instruction, you will welcome its magnetism.
Use this quote in the moments you feel fear during your day, and remind yourself that only you create fear and that you can control its complexion.

Overtaking Fear
There are certain moments during the course of your day that provides completely contrasting paths. The first path has very few obstacles or obstructions. It is a nice, easy walk toward comfort and familiarity. You have walked this path a thousand times before, so to walk it again is effortless. You know exactly where the path ends.
The second path, however, is not natural, and the terrain feels very discomforting. Once you convert your fears into positive outcomes, the second path will become the only option. Be willing to walk the second path when the belief in your dreams starts to overpower your fear of failure. When you understand that fear doesn’t slow your journey, you will be prepared to embrace its potential for growth.
Use this quote in any moment you feel doubt, and understand that fear is a path that contains the answers you need to grow.

Simple Formula
The ideas in the book are not new, and you may be doing some of them every day. You may be great at one but don’t really follow the others. You may give your time to a charity every weekend but not tell the people in your life how grateful you are for their support. You may have a great routine to start your day, but once your day gets off track have no skills to retrain your mind to recapture your vision.
I have incorporated some of these principles in part over the last five years but always found a way to revert to my old ways. Once you realize all these actions are a part of something bigger, you will start to make it your purpose to follow its direction. When you have a greater understanding of the power in these actions, you will see the formula has relevance.
Use this quote when you question the power of a positive purpose.

Defining Happiness
People define happiness in many different forms, and it’s never the same for every person. True happiness does not come easy nor does it have a dollar value. The definition of happiness is yours to create, and you will not find it in a book because you must be the author. You must decide what happiness really means to you. Do not let anyone define your happiness when they cannot understand your hopes and dreams.
Have you ever really sat down and put serious thought into what really makes you happy? The things in life that make your smile permanent. Once you truly understand what makes you happy, you will start to approach the life you always imagined was possible. We all have a murky vision of happiness in our mind but never find the clarity to seek its reality. Decide what makes you smile, and believe the path will present itself. Only then will you obtain true happiness.
Use this quote when you are ready to sit down and ask yourself what makes you happy.

Finding Happiness
This quote may be hard to grasp because we all have daily tasks that need respect. I’m not saying that you should forget about the things that provide for your family. This quote is about the time you have left. If you really want to experience life as the best version of yourself, you need to do what makes you happy. Providing for your family deserves respect but so do your dreams.
Make sure that you have a dedicated plan in place every day that brings you closer to the vision you have created. Nothing in life is given to you, but you can choose to take control of the time you have. If you cannot find happiness, make time to find it. Only you know what makes you happy. Never let your dreams fade away with a desire to pay your bills.
Use this quote when you are too focused on work and do not give yourself the time to follow your dreams.

Raising Tomorrow
If your standard of life is unsuitable, raise the standards of how you live. There is a reason why you live the life you have today. There is no one to blame but yourself if the life you have created is mediocre. Don’t continue to do the same things you did yesterday if you want different results tomorrow. If you want to create the best version of yourself, raise your standards to mirror the person whom you admire most.
If you want to lose weight, get moving; if you want to write a best-selling book, open your laptop and start punching keys. We can all see the person we want to become but never make the necessary changes needed to become that individual. Don’t be afraid of hard work. Raise your standards to give birth to your future self.
Use this quote when you have a resolution and always seem to fall short.
