    The Power of Stupid - 10 Quotes

    Richie Norton, author of the new book The Power of Starting Something Stupid, shares ten quotes to live by.

    You are what you believe yourself to be. — Paulo Coelho

    Know that you are the perfect age. Each year is special and precious, for you shall only live it once. Be comfortable with growing older. — Louise Hay

    Don’t waste a minute not being happy. If one window closes, run to the next window—or break down a door. — Brooke Shields

    Just can’t live that negative way… make way for the positive day! — Bob Marley

    The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate. — Oprah Winfrey

    You can’t live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you. — John Wooden

    Every moment you get is a gift. Spend it on things that matter. Don’t spend it by dwelling on unhappy things. — unknown

    Look for the blessing in all situations. — Wayne Dyer

    Change your thoughts and you change your world. — Norman Vincent Peale

    Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you. — Dr. Seuss

    What if the smartest people in the world understand something that the rest of us don’t? (They do.)

    What if they know that in order to achieve success, they will sometimes have to do things that others may initially perceive as stupid? The fact of the matter is that the smartest people in the world don’t run from stupid, they lean into it (in a smart way).

    In The Power of Starting Something Stupid, Richie Norton redefines stupid as we know it, demonstrating that life-changing ideas are often tragically mislabeled stupid.

    What if the key to success, creativity, and fulfillment in your life lies in the potential of those stupid ideas?

    Richie Norton has written a book about courage. The courage to do work that matters and to do it with your heart and your soul. Go make something happen. — Seth Godin, author of The Icarus Deception

    The 7 Rules of Life by Fitness Matters

    Shake things up sometimes. Do things differently. Break all the rules. Create some new rules. Have fun.

    What others think of you is none of your business. Their opinion really doesn’t matter in the larger scheme of things.

    Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.

    Realize that the best things in life aren’t things.

    Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain. – Vivian Green

    Gratitude is powerful. It can transform your life. It only requires a single step.

    When a person really desires something, all the universe
    conspires to help that person to realize his dream
    . – Paulo Coelho

    Set a goal that, once achieved, will change your life forever, a goal from which there is no turning back once you start out on the path to its success. – Scott Grossberg

    The cost of being wrong is less than the cost of doing nothing. – Seth Godin

    Be thankful for what you have: You’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough. – Oprah Winfrey

    Work for a cause, not for applause.
    Life life to express, not to impress.
    Don’t strive to make your presence noticed.
    Just make your absence felt.
    – unknown

    They say if you dream about something more than once, it’s sure to come true. – Alice in Wonderland

    We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses. – Abraham Lincoln

    The measure of your life will not be in what you accumulate, but in what you give away. – Wayne Dyer

    How does one become a butterfly? You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar. — Trina Paulus

    Motivational Bookmark: Setting Your Priorities

    If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting. — Stephen Levine

    Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right and forget the ones that don’t. Believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said that it’d be easy. They just promised it would be worth it.

    Adding to my possessions doesn’t fill my cup. Life is good without spending a dime. – Oprah Winfrey

    12 Things Successful People Do Differently

    An Introduction from the Author

    I’ve always been fascinated by people who are consistently successful at what they do; especially those who experience repeated success in many areas of their life throughout their lifetime.  In entertainment, I think of Clint Eastwood and Oprah Winfrey.  In business, I think of Steve Jobs and Warren Buffett.  We all have our own examples of super successful people like these who we admire.  But how do they do it? – Marc
