1 " The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why. "
― Darren Hardy , The Entrepreneur Roller Coaster: Why Now Is the Time to #Join the Ride
2 " Forget about willpower. It's time for why-power. Your choices are only meaningful when you connect them to your desires and dreams. The wisest and most motivating choices are the ones aligned with that which you identify as your purpose, your core self, and your highest values. You've got to want something, and know why you want it, or you'll end up giving up too easily. "
― Darren Hardy , The Compound Effect: Jumpstart Your Income, Your Life, Your Success
3 " When you've prepared, practiced, studied, and consistently put in the required effort, sooner or later you'll be presented with your own moment of truth. In that moment, you will define who you are and who you are becoming. It is in those moments where growth and improvement live--when we either step forward or shrink back, when we climb to the top of the podium and seize the medal or we continue to applaud sullenly from the crowd for others' victories. "
4 " The first step toward change is awareness. If you want to get from where you are to where you want to be, you have to start by becoming aware of the choices that lead you away from your desired destination. "
5 " The Compound Effect is the principle of reaping huge rewards from a series of small, smart choices "
6 " The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It’s as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer. "
7 " If you are not making the progress that you would like to make and are capable of making, it is simply because your goals are not clearly defined. "
8 " In all areas of your life, look for the multiplier opportunities where you can go a little further, push yourself a little harder, last a little longer, prepare a little better, and deliver a little bit more. Where can you do better and more than expected? When can you do the totally unexpected? Find as many opportunities for 'WOW,' and the level and speed of your accomplishments will astonish you... and everyone else around you. "
9 " When you define your goals, you give your brain something new to look for and focus on. It's as if you're giving your mind a new set of eyes from which to see all the people, circumstances, conversations, resources, ideas, and creativity surrounding you. "
10 " You get in life what you create. Expectation drives the creative process. What do you expect? You expect whatever it is you're thinking about. Your thought process, the conversation in your head, is at the base of the results you create in life. "
11 " Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon... must inevitably come to pass! "
12 " Starting is not most people’s problem, staying, continuing and finishing is. "

14 " When you're creating an environment to support your goals, remember that you get in life what you tolerate. Put another way, you will get in life what you accept and expect you are worthy of. "
15 " Choose to be 100 percent responsible. Eliminate all you excuses and get freed by the choices you make by taking personal responsibility for them .Make choices to take control. "
16 " If you are not making the progress that you would like to make and are capable of making, it is simply because your goals are not clearly defined "
17 " It's not the big things that add up in the end; it's the hundreds, thousands, or millions of little things that separate the ordinary from the extraordinary. "
18 " Your only path to success is through a continuum of mundane, unsexy, unexciting, and sometimes difficult daily disciplines compounded over time. "
19 " If you want to have more, you have to become more. Success is not something you pursue "
20 " On habits: The older they are, the bigger they get, the deeper the roots grow, and the harder they are to uproot. Some get so big, with roots so deep, you might hesitate to even try. "
