Know that whatever you want is already yours. Act as though everything you want can and will be yours. - Benjamin P. Hardy

Personality — like passion, inspiration, motivation, and confidence — is a by-product of your decisions in life.

Commitment to Future Self means investing in loss or failure here and now to accelerate progress.

A cell is a machine for turning experience into biology.” Your current genetic makeup is the product of your environment and thus is always changing. Obviously there are limits (at least at this point) to the extent you can change your biology. You can’t make yourself seven feet tall. But psychologically, you can become a completely different person. And your psychology and biology are inseparable. Rather than “competing,” with people at your perceived skill level, compete with those who are where you want to be. In other words, always punch above your weight. Herein lies a fundamental difference between those who become successful and those who don’t. Unsuccessful people make decisions based on current circumstances while successful people make decisions based on where they desire to be.
