The secret to having it all is believing you already do

In life, our mindset determines which road we travel on. One road is paved in scarcity and the other road is filled with abundance at every turn. In any moment, we can choose to change which road we want to travel on.

1. Thinking Big vs Thinking Small Thinking Big opens horizons, lifts limitations in my mind and enables me to achieve higher goals.

2. Plenty vs Lack I can afford what I want in life, there is plenty of everything in the world from resources, love, relationships, wealth and opportunities.

You never get beyond scarcity, you have to start beyond it.

3. Happiness vs Resentment I am optimistic and I can be genuinely happy for others.

4. Embracing Change vs Fear Of Change Change is an natural part of life and can create beautiful outcomes, but sometimes the transitions can be painful. Search for the good.

5. Proactive vs Reactive I actively create my future based on my values, priorities and goals.

6. Learning vs Knowing It All My natural curiosity and my thirst for knowledge help me to constantly develop and improve my skills.

7. What Is Working vs What Is Not Working I am focusing on "What is working", I am open minded and like to explore and try new opportunities.

Sensitive people never like the fatigue of justifying their instincts.

You get more of whatever you give attention to.

Dive deep for the treasure that you seek.

Bipartisanship has taken us to the brink of bankruptcy. We don't need bipartisanship, we need application of principle... Where was the call for bipartisanship during the Obamacare debate? Not a single Republican voted for it. It wasn't about bipartisanship, it was about having the votes to dictate your will.

I want to make movies about my country from my point of view.

In my experience, copy editors, like the stalwart staff I've worked with and learned from in my 34 years at 'TIME,' are linguistic conservatives - the keepers of the flame ignited by the Strunk-White 'Elements of Style,' published in full in 1957 and chosen by 'TIME' as one of the 100 most influential nonfiction books of the past century.

Like a starfish, the heart endures its amputation.

We women are constantly at war with our bodies, it is hard to find amnesty for ourselves.

I will raise a book to Brian Thomsen.

All art is a kind of confession, more or less oblique. All artists, if they are to survive, are forced, at last, to tell the whole story; to vomit the anguish up.

Musicians are, by and large, not the most politically savvy crew.

What is happy? I think happy's in the moment. I don't think everybody can be happy all the time.

Living in America means enjoying freedoms that people in many other countries cannot.

You couldn't find a more stylized boxer than Sugar Ray Leonard.

My accident happened in what should have been one of the safest places to be: in a police station, at the hands of trained police officers. So more guns are not the answer.

God will use us for his purposes, but it takes a certain kind of listening.

As an author on a corporate press, you have a lot less control over the finished product. I figure if I spend a couple years writing something, I want to be able to decide what the cover looks like and how it's going to be presented.

Why are our days numbered and not, say, lettered?

Harvey and I grew up in Queens, N.Y. My brother and I shared a room for 18 years until we went away to college. When we were kids, after our father said, 'Lights out,' he also exclaimed, 'No more talking. Time for sleep.' But we'd stay up late, arguing over statistics, who the best center fielder was - Willie Mays or Mickey Mantle.

The beauty of performance for me is finding details with which to betray character.

Organizations want small changes in functionality on a more regular basis. An organization like Flickr deploys a new version of its software every half hour. This is a cycle that feeds on itself.

Technology feeds on itself. Technology makes more technology possible.
