Believe and act, as if it were impossible to fail.
— Charles F. Kettering
On the surface, one might think this is about work or doing something external to our inner selves (‘act’ as in ‘do some task’). But the quote holds true even for our internal endeavors. Another way of looking at it is, “believe and behave, as if it were impossible to fail.”
Or as Gene Kranz famously said, “failure is not an option.”

Watch your thoughts; they become your words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
— Unknown *
* This quote has been attributed to many different people, but no one really knows where it came from or who first said it.

The Power of Meditation and How It Affects Our Brains
By Belle Beth Cooper
Ever since my dad tried to convince me to meditate when I was about 12, I’ve been fairly skeptical of this practice. It always seemed to be so vague and hard to understand that I just decided it wasn’t for me.

From The Ideal Made Real
By Christian D. Larson
“In the rebuilding of your own world one of the principal causes of failure will be found in a tendency to change your plans, motives or desires; therefore, do not permit yourself to entertain one group of desires today and a different group tomorrow, and do not permit your faith to fall into periodical states of doubt. Decide upon what you wish to do, accomplish, promote and attain, and proceed to live, think and work for those things, regardless of what may happen.”
Grab the book (free): Various formats from Achive.org*
* The PDF is cleaner (it’s the actual photos of the pages) than the ebook versions.
