Money QUOTATIONS
“I think earning money is the simplest thing in the world once you learn how to do it. It’s like driving a car. It’s simple if you know how to do it.” – Bob Proctor
“Money is only used for two things. One, it’s to make you comfortable, and the more comfortable you are the more creative you will become. And the other purpose is it enables you to extend the service you provide far beyond your own presence.” – Bob Proctor
“We need to make a game out of earning money. There is so much good we can do with money. Without it, we are bound and shackled and our choices become limited.” – Bob Proctor
“If you’re thinking of debt, that’s what you’re going to attract.” – Bob Proctor
“Money will make you more of what you already are. If you’re not a nice person, money’s going to make you a despicable individual. If you’re a good person, money’s going to make you a better person.” – Bob Proctor
Don’t be the reason you don’t succeed!
“The only competition you will ever face is with your own ignorance.” – Bob Proctor
“Science and psychology have isolated the one prime cause for success or failure in life. It is the hidden self-image you have of yourself.” – Bob Proctor
“You are the only problem you will ever have and you are the only solution. Change is inevitable, personal growth is always a personal decision.” – Bob Proctor
“All knowledge is one hundred percent evenly present in all places, at all times. Aware is what you and I want to become. The more aware we become of this truth about intelligence, the better off we will be.” – Bob Proctor
“The leaders in business and industry all have at least one thing in common – they are mentally strong. Mental strength is an absolute prerequisite for a successful, commercial career in our fast moving world. Although there are relatively few people who develop mental strength, anyone can.” – Bob Proctor
“Quite often very talented people fail because they believe they are too big to do the little things, while the most successful amongst us are quite willing to do the little things. They truly are big people.” – Bob Proctor
“Happiness and peace of mind are a matter of consciousness. We must create the harmony we desire. As we raise our level of consciousness we become more in tune with the true nature of our being. This type of awareness is not an accident; it comes from study and an understanding that we are truly creative.” – Bob Proctor
“If you’re like most people, you’ve always wanted something better for your life – it’s really how we are designed – we’re
supposed to want improvement, and we’re designed to climb upward. But most people stop at that – the WANT. They rarely take any action that actually begins moving their dreams into true reality!” – Bob Proctor
“Rather than exist each day in some dull, boring habitual manner, move into action on a big idea. Everyone is on the brink of possibility. Your responsibility is to discover what that possibility is for you. Ideas can turn you on, they can wind you up. The right idea can and will add a new dimension to your life.” – Bob Proctor
“Greener pastures is a phrase most of us pick up and think about fairly early in life. It is rather sad that many people spend so much time thinking of other pastures that they never properly appraise their own. Chances are what you’re doing is loaded with opportunities that someone else will benefit from if you don’t. With the experience you already have, you can build a stairway to just about anything you want. Want is the key word!“ – Bob Proctor
“Vibrations never lie. A person could be saying one thing and yet, thinking another. Get to the point where you pay closer attention to the vibrations you are receiving rather than the words you are hearing. Intuition is one of the most valuable mental tools you possess. Begin to consciously use it. Your rewards will be worth the effort.” – Bob Proctor
“Our attitude is the environment we carry with us during the day. It proclaims to the world what we think of ourselves and indicates the sort of person we have made up our minds to be. It is the person we will become. How’s your attitude today?” – Bob Proctor
“Innovative people have always been in high demand. Help those around you to develop that “never-say-die” attitude by developing it yourself. Make a decision, today, to outlaw complaining, whining and negative thinking in your own personality. And, a word of caution: if and when you are criticized for being so positive or as some call it, “unrealistic,” you will know you are on the right track.” – Bob Proctor
“The opposite of Taking A Risk is of course Playing It Safe. You must admit though, Playing It Safe is a pretty dull way to live. On a score of one to ten as a Risk Taker where do you stand? Add a little spice to your life today and take a risk.” – Bob Proctor
“Be aware that the economy is not meant to control us … we are meant to control the economy.” – Bob Proctor
“We all admire the courageous person and quite often consider the individual who lacks courage, a coward. However, that is not how Earl Nightingale saw it. He said the opposite of courage was not cowardness, it was conformity. The next time you are encouraged to fall into line, to be a sport and everything in you says no – be courageous and go your own way. There is no compensation in conformity.” – Bob Proctor
“In times of unrest and in an unstable economy, it is very easy to let your attitude slip and begin feeling sorry for yourself. This is precisely when you want to practice healthy attitudinal rules to stay alert, alive and enthusiastic. Don’t ever lose the zest for life and life won’t lose its zest for you. Say something positive to every person you meet today.” – Bob Proctor
“Unfortunately, the vast majority of people spend their days either living in the dead past or the imagined future. This sort of mental activity cheats a person out of the most precious time we have … NOW. Give everything you have to what you are doing NOW and life will richly reward you.” – Bob Proctor
“Do you think of yourself as a creative personality? If you do, you are both fortunate and correct, in fact the beautiful truth is that everyone is creative and we all have the ability to develop our creative potential. It is wise to remember that the person who follows the crowd will get no further than the crowd. The person who walks the creative path is likely to find they are in places no one has ever been before.” – Bob Proctor
“You shape your own life, and the shape of your life is determined to a great extent by your attitude. This is an area that you can control, and in learning how to control and direct it, you will have great power over what is going to happen.” – Bob Proctor
“Achieving goals is a creative process. The first step in the creation of your primary goal takes place in your conscious mind. Through the aid of your senses and/or your imagination, you must form a very clear, concise image of yourself already in possession of your goal.” – Bob Proctor
“You may avoid suffering and sorrow if you don’t risk, but you simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live. The greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing and has nothing. Only a person who risks is free.” – Bob Proctor
“Few people today realize just how much faith in oneself (that part of oneself which is spiritual, perfect) has to do with achievement, because the great majority of people never seem to conceive of faith as being a genuine creative force. Yet the truth is that not only is Faith a bona fide power, but it is the greatest one we will ever encounter.” – Bob Proctor
“You must be able to see yourself, with your inner eye, already in possession of the good you desire.” – Bob Proctor
“The first step to achieving your goals in the New Year is believe they can happen! Hopes, wishes and what-ifs don’t amount to much when they come face to face with years of ingrained beliefs. You must remind yourself everyday of what you want and believe you have it already. Don’t tuck your goals away with the Christmas ornaments! Keep them in front of you everyday and say them out loud. For example,“I’m so happy and grateful that I am at my perfect weight, looking good and feeling great.” It’s important to be grateful for the things you desire, as gratitude keeps you connected to your source of supply – the infinite.” – Bob Proctor
“The second step to achieving your goals in the New Year involves action and this is where many people run off track. The life we are living and have known to this point is comfortable and easy. Therefore we find it hard to establish new habits and routines even if we know they will bring us a better life. Our old belief system drags us back into the familiar. It is hard to overcome and we often experience small setbacks. This is the time to go back and look at your goals. Read your goal statement repeatedly and remind yourself of what you want and why.” – Bob Proctor
“Goal setting is the essence of life. Tenaciously pursue your goals not for external praise but for inner reward. It makes you a better person, parent, professional. It is important to be constantly growing.” – Bob Proctor
“Everyone expects us to have a sense of urgency for life’s big things. Life measures us by how we engage ourselves in the little things.” – Bob Proctor
“Have you ever had a big idea or dream – something you wanted so bad … but you were too scared to make it happen, or maybe you didn’t really believe it could? Think of how often you’ve had someone you looked up to or viewed as successful – shoot one of your suggestions full of holes. Ideas and babies have a lot in common – they require a lot of nourishment to survive. A new idea, regardless of its size, may not be able to withstand a beating when you first give it birth.” – Bob Proctor
“Jobs and money are never the primary cause of stress. Thinking, negative thinking causes stress. The real cause of all problems lie in our thoughts, not in things or circumstances. You and I possess the power to change our thoughts. It is our greatest power – the power to choose. If you are feeling stressful, choose to relax. Look at your problems as a stranger might. Then do something about them – NOW!” – Bob Proctor
“If you see yourself in a favorable light, if your image of yourself is pleasant, if this visual concept of yourself cannot be shaken by temporary defeats, then you have reached the goal achieved by the most fortunate. Not everyone reaches this mental state; in fact, many people do not even believe it is possible. Happiness and peace of mind are a matter of consciousness. We must create the inner-harmony we desire. This type of awareness is not an accident, it comes from study and an understanding that we are truly creative.” – Bob Proctor
“Intelligence is an interesting word. It is also something which, in my opinion, is misunderstood by many people. There are those who believe that we go to school to become intelligent. Or, the more experience a person has on a particular job, the more intelligent they become. This notion is not so. All knowledge is one hundred percent evenly present in all places, at all times. Aware is what you and I want to become. The more aware we become of this truth about intelligence, the better off we will be.” – Bob Proctor
“A clear 90% of the population in North America read at a grade seven level. That’s because we learn to read by the time we have reached grade seven and never improve our reading ability from that point on. Shocking isn’t it?! It is not only shocking, it’s a shame. But what is even worse, is that this lack of personal development goes well beyond reading. Most people do whatever they do in much the same manner … Begin to study what you do for a short time every day, knowing you can always perform better. Work toward a specific result well beyond your present level of performance.” – Bob Proctor
“A person is considered reasonable when they are content with the way things are presently. However, when we encounter a person who is dissatisfied with the status quo and endeavors to change it, they are frequently considered to be unreasonable. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being dissatisfied, in fact, there is a lot of good to be derived from a mind which is dissatisfied. It was dissatisfaction that caused Edison to light up the world, Ford to give us the automobile, the Wright Brothers to introduce us to a new kingdom and Bell enabled us to speak to someone on the other side of the globe. What are you dissatisfied with?” – Bob Proctor
“All of the great leaders down through history have told us we become what we think about. In fact, they have been in complete and unanimous agreement on this point while they disagree on almost every other point. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people rarely think, they simply accept what they see or hear. The next time someone gives you a suggestion, rather than simply accepting and acting on the suggestion – THINK – exercise your reasoning factor. Ask yourself if the suggestion will improve the quality of your life.” – Bob Proctor
“The desire for success is inherent within all of us. It is a part of our nature to want to grow, to improve the quality of our lives. However, nothing improves by accident, it requires conscious attention. When you are being bombarded by negatives, improvement, growth and success are easy to forget.” – Bob Proctor
“People with the best intentions will often give you advice on why you shouldn’t take a risk because of what could happen. While some of what they say may be true, you should never allow them to get their negative anchors into your mind because, like them, you too will begin to sink. Next time this happens, throw them a life-line, and ask them what is good about their situation.” – Bob Proctor
“All successful people are forever attempting to expand their horizons; to stretch their minds. Thomas Carlyle put it beautifully when he said, “Once the mind has been expanded by a big idea, it will never go back to its original state.” Carlyle was right, when you have expanded your mind you have developed a greater awareness, and awareness is not something you can lose.” – Bob Proctor
“I believe it is important that we spend some time alone. No outside distractions, a time for a little introspection. The more time we spend with another person, the better we get to know them. The same is true of our self. Making time to visit our self is a good investment, it is something we can be richly rewarded for. We become more friendly toward our self and develop a deeper respect for our real potential as a creative being.”- Bob Proctor
“It takes courage to step out on your own and do your own thing … regardless of what others around you are doing. Have you taken the time to think of what makes you different? If you haven’t, you should. Take my advice and do as Henry Ford said, “develop that difference for all you are worth”. The next time you are encouraged to fall into line, to be a sport and everything in you says no – be courageous and go your own way. There is no compensation in conformity.” – Bob Proctor
“No one has ever been able to determine exactly what it takes to succeed in business, but there are characteristics which we know for certain contribute to success, regardless of a person’s level of intelligence. The successful person “learns from experience” and has “drive from within”. They “believe in themselves”. They have “power with people”. They have “character”. They have a sense of direction; they know where they are going and they know they will get there. They have developed an inner confidence which is expressed openly in their behavior and they have a genuine concern for the well-being of others.” – Bob Proctor
“You have two choices in life – you can dissolve into the main stream or you can be distinct. To be distinct, you must be different. To be different you must strive to be what no one else but you can be. Don’t be so concerned with the opinions of others … follow the quiet, creative voice from within.” – Bob Proctor
“Doing the same things you did when the economy was good is not good enough. You will have to put more coals on the fire in a poor economy to get the same heat you received in a good economy. You must give more energy, more thought, more service, and get into positive thinking material more frequently. Become more selective about who you spend time with. Love a little more, hate a little less. Think about it. You can progressively move on an upward path toward any goal. The choice is yours as to who or what controls you!” – Bob Proctor
“Don’t let your present problems defeat you. The Chinese have a saying that if you live with a disaster for three years it will turn into a blessing. Look back in your own life at what appeared to be a devastating situation five or ten years ago. Many of those situations were the turning point that caused a number of great things to happen in your future. Regardless of what happens today, realize it is the beginning of something good.” – Bob Proctor
“Study and discipline are the prerequisite to any form of accomplishment. Unfortunately however, studying is much like paying taxes for most of us – we only do it when we have to. If you’re serious about developing greatness in your life, study the lives of great men and women and follow their advice!” – Bob Proctor
“Benjamin Franklin was a great leader and left anyone, who was eager to learn, an abundance of advice. One bit of advice Franklin gave, if followed, will virtually guarantee you a brilliant future. “If a person empties their purse into their head, no one can take it away from them. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.” That is excellent advice for personal growth!” – Bob Proctor
“All of the great achievers of the past have been visionary figures; they were men and women who projected into the future. They thought of what could be, rather than what already was, and then they moved themselves into action, to bring these things into fruition.” – Bob Proctor
“You have two choices in life – you can dissolve into the main stream or you can be distinct. To be distinct, you must be different. To be different you must strive to be what no one else but you can be. Don’t be so concerned with the opinions of others; those who follow the quiet, creative voice from within are both fortunate and correct.” – Bob Proctor
“When I examined myself and my methods of thought, I came to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge.” Albert Einstein shared those words with us. To Einstein, his imagination was his gift of fantasy. It is a fantastic gift. Your imagination is your own unique property. It can transport you to places that no one else or anyone else can go. It can brighten up your life. It knows no boundaries. If you’re trying to make a breakthrough – let your mind wander. The conventional approach may not solve the problem. You have an imagination – use it!” Bob Proctor
“Boredom has to be the most life sapping, mental disease you can be afflicted with.The most accurate definition of boredom I have ever heard is this – Boredom is the absence of a creative idea. But there is a simple cure – begin to think immediately of a better way to do something. The creative juices are within you but you must turn on the tap. Those who are bored are not living; they are dying. When their heart stops beating, it will be a mere formality. The best way to do anything has never been thought of. Get on a creative improvement kick and jar others mentally into the same activity.” – Bob Proctor
>>> “You can tell a lot about a person by carefully examining their environment. Contrary to popular belief, people are not the reflection of their environment nearly as much as we might think. Environment is a reflection of the people. Change the people for the better, and the environment will change for the better as well. Our attitude is the environment we carry with us during the day. It proclaims to the world what we think of ourselves and indicates the sort of person we have made up our minds to be. It is the person we will become. What does your attitude proclaim to the world about you today?” – Bob Proctor
“The opposite of Taking A Risk is of course Playing It Safe The latter would probably be a reasonable way of life for seventy or eighty years if you had a contract to live for a thousand years. However, since you know that is out of the question, you must admit, Playing It Safe is a pretty dull way to live. Those who play it safe are generally not too exciting, in fact they would probably border on being very boring personalities. On a score of one to ten as a Risk Taker where do you stand? Add a little spice to your life today and take a risk.” – Bob Proctor
“Think of how much happier you would be, not to mention how much more productive you would be, if you eliminated excuses. I once read the worst thing that can happen to you is to have an excuse. And, if there is anything worse, it would be to have a good excuse. When you use an excuse for not accomplishing something or not completing a project, you are actually giving power to someone or something outside of yourself. Since there are some circumstances you cannot change and you most certainly cannot change other people, you are stuck. There is a power within you which is far superior to any condition or circumstance outside of you.” – Bob Proctor
“Never underestimate the power of the mind. Persist in creating new thoughts to prevent falling back into negative patterns. It is an ongoing struggle and you have to commit to winning if you are to succeed.” – Bob Proctor
“This is a powerful exercise. Commit to doing this EVERYDAY and you WILL see results. Start your day with the following.
-Write 10 things you are grateful for. Write in the present tense, as if it is already so. I am so happy and grateful now that…
-Sit quietly for 5 minutes and ask for guidance for your day.
-Send love to 3 people that are troubling you.” – Bob Proctor
“Ask yourself – Where do I want to be one year from today? Personal growth is a choice.” – Bob Proctor
“Don’t be an extra in your own movie. Move out of your comfort zone. Don’t be afraid of feeling uncomfortable or awkward. Step-out and make it happen.” – Bob Proctor
“Hand writing causes thinking – the repetition of writing your goal everyday will increase your awareness. The true purpose of a goal is to help you grow.” – Bob Proctor
“Your mind has the ability to accept or reject. Don’t accept what you should be rejecting. Don’t reject what you should be accepting!”
“When you use an excuse for not accomplishing something or not completing a project, you are actually giving power to someone or something outside of yourself.
Regardless of what happens today, absolutely refuse to use an excuse to get off the hook.” – Bob Proctor
