  • Stephen Mansfield: Quotes on Life

    Spread the love

    manly quotes from Stephen Mansfield

    Here are six quotes on life, manliness, and dreams excerpted from Mansfield’s Book of Manly Men: An Utterly Invigorating Guide to Being Your Most Masculine Self by Stephen Manfield . . .

    Every moment and every event of every man’s life on earth plants something in his soul. — Thomas Merton in New Seeds of Contemplation

    The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. — Martin Luther King Jr. in Strength to Love

    The happy life is regarded as a life in conformity with virtue. It is a life which involves effort and is not spent in amusement. — Aristotle in The Nicomachean Ethics

    All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that all was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, and make it possible. — T.E. Lawrence in Seven Pillars of Wisdom

    In this life-long fight, to be waged by every one of us singlehanded against a host of foes, the last requisite for a good fight, the last proof and test of our courage and manfulness, must be loyalty to truth—the most rare and difficult of all human qualities. For such loyalty, as it grows in perfection, asks ever more and more of us, and sets before us a standard of manliness always rising higher and higher. — Thomas Hughes in The Manliness of Christ

    Life is too short to be little. Man is never so manly as when he feels deeply, acts boldly and expresses himself with frankness and with fervor. — Benjamin Disraeli in Coningsby, or The New Generation

  • Mark Twain’s Top 9 Tips for Living a Kick-Ass Life

    Spread the love

    Mark Twain on Living a Kick-Ass Life

    Let us live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.

    1. Approve of yourself.A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.

    2. Your limitations may just be in your mind.Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.

    3. Lighten up and have some fun.Humor is mankind’s greatest blessing.

    4. Let go of anger.Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.

    5. Release yourself from entitlement.Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.

    6. If you’re taking a different path, prepare for reactions.A person with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds.

    7. Keep your focus steadily on what you want.Drag your thoughts away from your troubles… by the ears, by the heels, or any other way you can manage.

    8. Don’t focus so much on making yourself feel good.The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.

    9. Do what you want to do.Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did so. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

  • I Believe . . .

    I Believe . . .

    Enjoy this viral office share about friends, relationships, and you . . .

    I believe . . . That just because two people argue, it doesn’t mean they don’t love each other. And just because they don’t argue, it doesn’t mean they do.

    I believe . . . That we don’t have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

    I believe . . . That no matter how good a friend is, they’re going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

    I believe . . . That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.

    I believe . . . That you can do something in an instant that will give you a heartache for life.

    I believe . . . That you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

    I believe . . . That you can keep going long after you think you can’t.

    I believe . . . That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

    I believe . . . That either you control your attitude or it controls you.

    I believe . . . That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

    I believe . . . That money is a lousy way of keeping score.

    I believe . . . That my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.

    I believe . . . That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you’re down, will be the ones to help you get back up.

    I believe . . . That it isn’t always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    I believe . . . That no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn’t stop for your grief.

    I believe . . . That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

    I believe . . . Two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.

    I believe . . . That your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don’t even know you.

    I believe . . . That even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.

    I believe . . . That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

    I believe . . . That the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

    Tony Robbins on Living Fully

    Live life fully while you’re here.
    Experience everything.
    Take care of yourself and your friends.
    Have fun, be crazy, be weird.
    Go out and screw up!
    You’re going to anyway,
    so you might as well enjoy the process.
    Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes:
    Find the cause of your problem and eliminate it.
    Don’t try to be perfect;
    just be an excellent example of being human.
    — Tony Robbins

    Cicero On Old Age

    If at every stage of your career you always do the right thing, your actions will bring you remarkable dividends when you have lived a long time and achieved a great deal.

    The most effective armor against the approach of age is absolute clarity about the difference between right and wrong.

    Live a healthy life, by exercising moderately and by not eating and drinking too much.

    It doesn’t matter how much time has passed; a foolish old man can never be consoled or comforted.

    Great things are achieved by prudence and character and experience.

    If some people are dissatisfied with their life, it’s because of their character, not their age.

    Human nature is like wine: it does not invariably sour just because it is old.

    I have often remarked that the harvest of old age is memory—the memory of whatever good things have happened to us before we get old.

    The Book of Afformations by Noah St. John

    Triple Your Income — Starting a new radio show, Cari Murphy invited Noah St. John to be her first guest. During the interview Noah introduced her to his discovery of Afformations. Over the next 12 months, Cari tripled her income from the previous year.

    Close a Million-Dollar Client — Chris, a finance expert, had never been able to raise large amounts of money. After using Afformations and listening to Noah St. John’s iAfform Audios for less than 3 weeks, Chris closed his first million dollar client.

    Get a New Job — Kaisha, a sales professional from London, was worried she might lose her home if she didn’t start making more money. She read about Afformations, started using them, and tripled her sales in less than a month. Two months later, she was offered a new job at twice her old salary!

    Eliminate Anxiety — Amy was having constant panic attacks due to crushing debt and mounting financial pressure. A friend told her about Noah’s Afformations System, and Amy read it. That very night, she slept well for the first time in nearly a year. The feelings of panic, anxiety, and overwhelm left her, and she never considered suicide again.

    Triple Sales — Brandon was a struggling insurance salesman who’d spent more than $40,000 on self-help programs without seeing results. Using Afformations, he tripled his sales in 30 days. By the end of the year, he increased his income by 560% and was named Agent of the Year.

    Double Your Salary — Michael was very dissatisfied with his job. He wondered why he bothered to come into work at all. Then he started using Afformations. A few weeks later, Michael approached his company’s CEO with a proposal for a new position. His proposal was accepted and Michael created his dream job at twice his original salary.
