It's not the events of our lives that shape us, but our beliefs as to what those events mean.

We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish.

The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives.

You see, it's never the environment; it's never the events of our lives, but the meaning we attach to the events - how we interpret them - that shapes who we are today and who we'll become tomorrow.

In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.

Most people have no idea of the giant capacity we can immediately command when we focus all of our resources on mastering a single area of our lives.
