You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life
Quotes from the Book
The walls of your comfort zone are lovingly decorated with your lifelong collection of favorite excuses.
Worrying is praying for stuff you don't want.
Time wasted rationalizing the mediocre could be time spent creating the magnificent.
RICH: Able to afford all the things and experiences required to fully experience your most authentic life.
What comes out of your mouth comes into your life.
What you focus on you create more of.
Your heart is the most powerful muscle in your body. Do what it says.
You can have excuses or you can have success; you can't have both.
Believe that you are worthy of financial freedom. Do something you love and then all you ever have to do is be yourself to succeed. If you sell something you love, then you just sell love, not a specific product or service, and that will show.
When you don’t investigate what’s going on with your words, thoughts, and beliefs, you risk stumbling through life on autopilot.
Pay attention to the things you’re drawn to, the things you’re good at, the things you lose yourself in, the things that make you stand up and say, “My foot! I can’t feel my foot!” because you’ve been sitting in the same position for hours, totally engrossed.
What you focus on you create more of, so if the plan is to get rich, you’re gonna want to focus on abundance as much as possible. Give as much as you can as often as you can, receive with gratitude and joy, think of money as your pal, raise your frequency and get in the flow, yo.
We’ve been raised to believe that you have to work hard to make money, and certainly there are times when this is true, but the real secret is you have to take huge, uncomfy risks. You have to do stuff you’ve never done before, to make yourself visible, to acknowledge your own
There is no lack of things to be grateful for if you remember to pay attention.
What you can and can’t afford is all in your mind.
Money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish, but it will not replace you as the driver.
When we don’t master our minds, we risk building our lives on a foundation of flimsiness.
Where there’s a will there’s a way; we just prefer to pretend there isn’t a way so we don’t have to take responsibility and do the uncomfortable stuff required to grow.
Nothing happens or comes to be without being thought first:
When we focus on the money instead of working ourselves to death, and get mighty clear about how much we desire to make and what we can do differently in order to make it happen, we open the door to new freedoms.
Faith is required if you’re going to upgrade from rickety to rolling in it because faith is the part of us that dares to believe that an unseen, unproven, and often proven otherwise, brand-new, and awesome reality is within our grasp.
You can’t experience new lands from the confines of your comfort zone.
When it comes to changing your life, if you’re not scared, you’re doing something wrong.
The thoughts, beliefs, and emotions we don’t consciously reject, we unconsciously accept.
Money always comes to you through other people, but it comes from Universal Intelligence, as do all things. Which is why focusing on the frequency of your thoughts, not the people you hope to make money from, is the key to getting rich.
Opportunity is in the eye of the beholder.
Our perception of reality is also greatly influenced by our words. Words bring our thoughts and beliefs to life and help anchor them into our “realities” through repetition.
Snobbery works in both directions—if you’re rich, thinking you’re better than those who aren’t is as equally lame as being broke and thinking you’re better than those who are rich.
Time comes to those who make it, not those who try to find it.
We are feeling creatures, we are meant to experience, not deny, our emotions. Ergo, it’s not about being all yippy skippy every moment of every day and never ever feeling sad or angry or freaked out. Expecting yourself to feel only positive emotions is not only impossible, but will most likely make you feel like a failure instead of like a normal human. Feel what you feel, have a temper tantrum, shake your fist in the air and curse thy enemy’s name, lie facedown in your driveway and weep, let your emotions live large and then . . . make the decision to move on. It’s when we wallow in our negative emotions that we let them hold us back. Experiencing them, however, is healthy and critical to releasing them.
