There's never been a better time to change the way you think. Replace every 'I can't' with 'How can I?' It might sound like semantics, but I promise it will bring whatever you want to accomplish much closer to becoming a reality.

If you want to change attitudes, start with a change in behavior.

There are too many things I find it difficult to say 'no' to.

It is always easier - and usually far more effective - to focus on changing your behavior than on changing the behavior of others.

Convincing people to give your way a try will work if you neutralize - and sometimes you have to cauterize - the ones who really are against change. They're the kind of person who, if you tell them it's raining outside, they'll fight you tooth and nail.

Just keep saying yes to everything - until you can afford to say no.

Here's a vice: I say yes to too many things. I wish I had the guilty pleasure of saying no. My goal is to try to do less, but more fully.

I'm never going to take the view that I should say whatever I need to say in order to achieve something. Because that implies a level of dishonesty.
