  • Changing our minds is easy; changing our world is hard.

  • How different would your life be if you knew you would never die?

  • The mouth speaks good intentions, while behavior always shows the truth.

  • To Share

  • To Teach

  • To Reveal

  • To Inspire

  • To Convince

  • To Understand

  • Take your mind to places it has never been before.

  • We are part of the problem. We are part of the solution.

  • The world is a stage, and most of us sit in the gallery and throw things at the performers.

  • "If" is the most unsatisfactory word in our language, and "but" comes next.

  • The world offers more opportunities than problems.

  • It's all right to pray for the things you want, but it's a good idea to work for the things you need.

Magic Question

What am I willing to sacrifice to achieve success?

P.S. If you are in search of a book recommendation, our team at The Daily Coach highly recommends How to Have Impossible Conversations: A Very Practical Guide by James Lindsay and Peter Boghossian. This is a self-help book on how to argue effectively, conciliate, and gently persuade. The authors admit to getting it wrong in their own past conversations. Boghossian and Lindsay teach the subtle art of instilling doubts and opening minds. This book is the manual everyone needs to foster a climate of civility, connection, and empathy.
