The mind is just like a muscle - the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets and the more it can expand.

You must have a level of discontent to feel the urge to want to grow.

If your mind is everywhere but in the now, put it on an imaginary leash: that way you will monitor and control its movements.

The strongest principle of personal development is every person’s ability to make conscious decisions how to act and determine what purpose he or she attempts to fulfill. People with a fixed mindset believe that their basic personal qualities such as intelligence, talent, and other skills are traits that are predetermined or fixed and they ignore opportunities for personal development. A person’s growth mindset represents a belief that there are certain basic qualities that a person can cultivate through applied effort, if they exhibit a passion for learning, a resolute willingness to stretch their personality, and through fortitude make personal improvement despite experiencing initial hardships.

Success comes from the inside out. In order to change what is on the outside, you must first change what is on the inside.

When we read books or acquire information about personal development even when we are mentally, emotionally, spiritually and/or physically healthy, we accumulate the personal inner tools that can save our minds from the negative consequences of a bad day.
