You can be homeless and forgotten, or you can be rich and famous, and you can still do your best to serve the highest good of all and to think win-win.

My favorite Steve Pavlina Quote of all time is:

"Just be sure to do me left-handed. Otherwise, over too quickly.

"

I just chuckle everytime I read that.

Your true purpose is more about being than doing. It points you in the direction of being authentic.My guess is that going back to your roots is about shedding the parts of your life that aren't a good fit for your authentic self. Don't fill your life with stuff that doesn't really matter.

When you experience this perspective shift, you’ll begin to notice a subtle background sensation.

munish · 10-28-2007, 01:58 AM

If you don’t know what you want, then just move away from what you don’t want until you figure it out.

Love doesn't get sliced into percentages. Loving more people only expands love.

I like this one. It really struck me when I was reading that article.

If I hadn’t been through this ordeal 15 years ago, I’m sure I’d be a much more timid person today, ruled by imaginary fears instead of inspired by imaginary wonders.

If I could shorten it I would say: Instead of being ruled by imaginary fears be inspired by imaginary wonders.

"The more that people tell me I'm going to fail, the more I know I'm on the right track."

Our shared physical reality is the most common state of reality we experience, but it certainly isn’t the only one.

"If you think you’re at a 7, you’re really at a 3 maximum. The 10 is way, way out there." -- Steve Pavlina

This thought always inspires me to aim higher.

Great quotes, thanks all (and Steve)

I drifted away from rigid religious dogma, from fear of risk-taking, from eating animals, from negativity, and from being unable to say, “I love you.”

I know the answers to most of the questions in respect to self-development and I can guide others with their problems.But paradoxically I feel devoid of energy to drive my own growth.I am with a reasonably well-paid job but now only looking forward to getting a safe retirement.Following my passion in guiding others is becoming difficult without any energy.

Johnny Metal · 07-20-2011, 03:34 AM

Steve on building his first business:

"What got me through the lean years wasn't the promise of greater wealth down the road. It was noticing how much I was growing every month by facing and tackling the various challenges that came up. Even when you're losing, a game can still be fun if you observe that you're becoming a better player."

This one is really inspiring to me today.

munish · 07-23-2011, 01:07 AM

The game of business isn't winnable. No matter how hard you play to win ... S.P.

Code:

 I dug for gold two miles deep, so it was much harder for anyone else to unseat the game from its position in the market. In order to do that, they’d have to outdig me, and very few people are willing to do that because creative game design is excruciatingly difficult.

This quote is what got me off my ass.
