"The challenges we face flow from our current way of thinking and behaving."
"Even small changes in the way you think and behave can lead to a breakthrough."
"Every human being has the capacity to consciously decide the result they want given the circumstances they face. We call this the capacity of intention."
"When you make a commitment to create a given outcome, you can focus your energy and attention on delivering it. Your actions become more proactive and less reactive and you are far more likely to have an impact. By being clear and explicit about the results you want, you can identify what you need to do to make a breakthrough."
"What really limits us and leads to us getting stuck is ignorance of the limitations placed on our thinking and behavior by our hidden rules."
"Our emotions point to hidden thoughts. An emotion is a message to do something, a cause of motion or action. The emotions associated with each of our hidden rules remind us to act in a way that is in line with that rule."
"Of course positive psychology can be highly motivating,
but in our experience it is often when individuals and
teams confront their deepest fears and insecurities that
the true breakthroughs are made."
"By being clear about the change in behavior you intend to make and what this behavior looks like in practice, you can make it easier to step beyond the habitual ways of thinking and behaving."
"Your habits don’t give up without a fight. It takes emotional
maturity and courage to face up to deep-seated and
long-held thoughts about what is right and useful behavior."
"One of the most common ways in which people sabotage their own success is by blaming other people or events for the problems and difficulties they face. This attitude makes them powerless and leaves them thinking that there is nothing they can do."
"Recognizing your do-how moments is about acknowledging that you have a choice in how you respond to situations and that these choices occur at moments when you feel uncomfortable."
"There are moments when your choices can lead you to a breakthrough. But you need a signpost, something that lets you know that you’re approaching one of those moments and that you have a choice."
"We are faced each day with a thousand choices. Every
action, every word, every thought has its impact. Consciously or
unconsciously, our lives are spun out of the choices
we make."
"Awareness is what allows us to be sensitive to our emotions and our thoughts. If we can spot those, we can lift ourselves over any barrier."
"Playing to your strengths and having a positive outlook
is a very important ingredient for success, and creating a
positive atmosphere has an energizing effect.
"Knowing what you want is a key part of making change
happen. When you know what you want, you have the choice to live from a
vision of what is possible rather than out of your limitations."
