Overall Summary
- Simply believing in something—or, even if you don't believe it, literally stating it out loud—has tremendous power to bring it closer to reality.
- Don't fixate on excuses, don't fixate on how any one result was the thing that wrecked you and prevented you from being successful.
- Act rather than contemplate, especially if you're afraid. Action overcomes fear. Act and the motivation will arise, don't wait for the motivation to spur action.
- Think more about how you can do something rather than whether you can do it. And also think about how it can be done better.
- Everyone is important. Treat others accordingly, and think highly of yourself too. Rehearse a "sell-yourself-to-yourself" commercial.
- Don't spend time around negative people (or if you have to, don't give them your attention).
