Brendon Burchard Quotes
The charged life, then, usually calls to us after we have done what we were supposed to do, become who we thought we were supposed to be, lived as we thought we were supposed to live. Then the safety and comfort and compromise get to us, and a stirring of restlessness and revolution sends us off in search of greater adventures and meaning.
Your ultimate life experience and legacy is being built moment by moment, day by day. Your story is being crafted by your every action, all leading somewhere, all leading to what one hopes will be a magnificent crescendo.
No matter how small you start, start something that matters. (Meaning)
People say, "I wish I had more motivation today, because then I would try something." But our thinking is backward. The way our brain works is that dopamine - the so-called feel-good chemical - is released the second we actually do something. So the motivation doesn't come before, it comes after.
There comes a time in the lives of those destined for greatness when we must stand before the mirror of meaning and ask: Why, having been endowed with the courageous heart of a lion, do we live as mice?
Optimists are happier in life for a reason.

Successful people take their current limitation and put it on their agenda as a job to do, as a thing to figure out and make happen.
The top experts in the world are ardent students. The day you stop learning, you're definitely not an expert.
Freedom requires responsibility to choose who we are above and beyond our immediate impulses, needs, and social pressures, so that we can genuinely express the type of person we want to be, live the life we truly want to live, leave the legacy we desire.
The more we are true to ourselves, the more we can connect with and contribute to the world.
We get to choose how we're going to live - what level of energy, what level of vibrancy, what level of excitement.
Ask not what you are getting from the world but, rather, what you are giving to the world.
Ambition has to be joined with expectancy. A sense that you have a dream for yourself that you believe can happen.
If your guard is up, let it down. If you've constructed a defensive wall to protect yourself and keep all the bad guys out, don't forget who that wall also prevents from getting in - the good guys.
Grant me the stormy seas over a life of ease, the toil and madness of a life of effort, and adventure , and meaning. The safe harbor is not for me, not for long. Let the fearful stand at the shore and point as we head into the unknown, toward that vast horizon where the bold become legend.
I've seen that phenomenally successful people believe they can learn something from everybody. I call them 'mavericks with mentors.' Richard Branson, for instance, is a total maverick but he surrounds himself with incredibly successful, smart people and he listens to them.
I'm not interested in your limiting beliefs, i'm interested in what makes you limitless.
"Ambition is the great fire, it's the liberator of the unconscious person. No goals, no growth; no clarity, no change."
I think we can all recognize in some way or another that we as a human species, have been granted an incredible gift of intentionality and of consciousness. Perhaps this gift is a hint to how we should conduct our lives.

Why having been endowed with the courageous heart of a lion, do we live as mice?
Meditation is a lifelong process. Give it a try. As you get deeper and more disciplined into the process, you'll get deeper and more disciplined in your mind and life.
Have you ever played a video game that didn't have escalating levels of difficulty? Well, life can feel like play, too, when we purposefully engage in activities that demand we test and develop our skills.
To inspire a singularity of focus, a challenge must be important to you and it must be something you feel you should do now in this moment. If it's trivial or not time-bound, you won't engage. So in selecting your next challenge in life, choose one that is meaningful and will demand your complete concentration.
A life filled with silly social drama and gossip indicates that a person is disconnected from purpose and lacking meaningful goals. People on a path of purpose don't have time for drama.
Challenge is the pathway to engagement and progress in our lives. But not all challenges are created equal. Some challenges make us feel alive, engaged, connected, and fulfilled. Others simply overwhelm us. Knowing the difference as you set bigger and bolder challenges for yourself is critical to your sanity, success, and satisfaction.
Those things that you just do, if you put that together in a DVD program, let's say, for $97, to teach people how to do that. Well, if you sold 100 of those a month, that's $9,700 of income a month just teaching what you already do and know to people who want to learn how to do the same.
A lot of people have the ambition, but they never ask themselves, Do I really believe I can do this?
To me, meditation is simply silencing or focusing the mind.
To stand emotionally open before the world & give of our hearts without fear of hurt or demand of reciprocity - this is the ultimate act of human courage.
Why do we universally admire and respect a Gandhi, Mandela, Mother Teresa, Lincoln, or any other leader or legend from history's pantheon? It is because they were guided by integrity-based practices. They stood for something. They didn't break with the values they believed in just because they faced struggle.
Aliveness doesn't happen in silence. Aliveness doesn't happen in repression. Aliveness happens in action.

When the world question your abilities, respond with your actions.
People are influenced most by those they trust, admire and believe care for them.
At the end of our lives we all ask, did i live? Did i love? Did i matter?
It's not about how much work you're doing. It's about what work you're doing and how you're doing the work.
Motivation comes from effort.
Drama in our lives is the greatest indicator that we're not focused on meaningful goals. On the path to purpose you don't have time for drama.
When you are congruent in your personal life, you will be congruent in your business life.

The simple fact that you care, that you want to do your best, that you strive to enjoy life and love, this makes you so much more than enough.

Ours is a society that has falsely assumed that contribution must mean giving to some specific cause rather than simply giving our best selves. Thus, too many people don't recognize the fact that simply being who they are is contributing significantly to the world. What if simply living your truth, being your best, and fully expressing your strengths, talents, and abilities at whatever you do were sufficient to contribute to the world? I say it is, and we must not overlook the fact that being our best ultimately inspires others and can and does indeed make an impact.
Freedom and victory belong to those who remain true and strong despite temptation to be dishonest and weak.
If you create incredible value and information for others that can change their lives - and you always stay focused on that service - the financial success will follow.
People are remarkably bad at remembering long lists of goals. I learned this at a professional level when trying to get my high-performance coaching clients to stay on track; the longer their lists of to-dos and goals, the more overwhelmed and off-track they got. Clarity comes with simplicity.
It is the main motivation of mankind to be free, to express our true selves and pursue our dreams without restriction--to experience what may be called Personal Freedom.

Business coaching and the personal development and self-help industry is considered to be one of the booming industries today.
Do yourself and your family a favor: Decide right now that you will write a self-help book someday. I'm serious. A self-help book is a great way to capture what you think makes a good person, a good life and a good world. It's also a "forever document" that you can pass down to future generations. We need more people sharing positive messages and books with the world. Why not be one of those people?
There's a starting place. And that starting place for everyone is ambition. We're all scared of that word today because they made it bad in the late '80s. As if desire is not a good thing.
We have to reconceptualize and understand that the act of pursuing our dreams and being our full selves is what allows us to feel alive.
