The man on top of the mountain didn’t fall there. — VINCE LOMBARDI - Tony Robbins

Fuller uses the metaphor of a ship's rudder. He says when the rudder of a ship is angled to one side or another, the ship tends to keep rotating beyond the helmsman's intention. He has to correct the rotation, moving it back toward the original direction in a never-ending process of action and reaction, adjustment and correction. Picture that in your mind - a helmsman on a quiet sea, gently guiding his boat toward its destination by coping with thousands of inevitable deviations from its course. It's a lovely image, and it's a wonderful model for the process of living successfully.

What makes most people just dreamers versus those who live the dream is that dreamers have never figured out the price of their dreams.

More important, the level of success you experience internally — the happiness, joy, ecstasy, love, or anything else you desire — is the direct result of how you communicate to yourself. How you feel is not the result of what is happening in your life — it is your interpretation of what is happening. Successful people’s lives have shown us over and over again that the quality of our lives is determined not by what happens to us, but rather by what we do about what happens.
