Here are some of my favorite quotes from the book:

-  “The ingredients to lasting success in any area are universal, and one of the key ingredients is our consistent action.  Those actions become our habits. Those habits change our thinking.  Those habits change our body.  Those habits define our destiny.”

-  “People with clear, written out goals, who consistently honor their defined priorities tend to get results faster than others and enjoy a greater level of happiness and long term success in all areas of life.”

-  “Goals give us a specific destination to focus our actions and energies.  Written goals help you to better communicate to others, as well as to yourself, your plans for the future.  Goals relieve stress and bring clarity to your starting point.  Written goals provide motivation and accountability that far surpass “thought bubble” goals or even spoken goals without measurements or deadlines.”

-  “Your success is 100% your responsibility.  There’s no room for excuses.  Excuses are for the weak.”

-  “When someone knows what needs to be done but falls short, it is said they either fear success or they lack the habit of discipline.”

-  “The most important things you do in life are always the most difficult.”

-  “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”

-  “Success is not a place at which one arrives but rather the spirit with which one undertakes and continues the journey.” – Author unknown.

All in all, this is a book I would definitely recommend to anyone, whether you are looking for a business book or a health and diet book, or better yet, both!

Enjoy!

Here is another Ten on Tuesday… Valentine’s Day edition!

1. How do you feel about Valentine’s Day?  I like it, but don’t obsess over it.  I like the idea of a holiday that celebrates couples and love.

2. Are you in love?  Absolutely!  I am married to an amazing man, how could I not be!?

3. What is your favorite love song?  One of my favorite love songs is At Last by Etta James.

4. Did your parents do anything for you on Valentine’s Day when you were a child?  Hmmm…I can’t really remember but I think they would get my brother and me cards and candy.

5. What is your love language? (Click here if you want to take the quiz.)  My love language was a tie between “words of affirmation” and “quality time”.  Two things I enjoy so that makes sense!

6. How do you celebrate Valentine’s Day? Gifts? Dinner?  Tonight I am going to make dinner and that is really about it.  I have a couple little gifts for my husband but nothing crazy.

7. What is your favorite flower?  My favorite flower is the gardenia.  It smells so amazing!

8. What is your favorite love story? (Book and/or movie.) My favorite love story (book and movie) is The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks.  I also heard The Time Traveler’s Wife is really good too but I haven’t read that yet.  It is on my list though.

9. If you could choose anyone to be your valentine (other than your spouse) who would you choose?  I would definitely choose Tom Brady…I don’t think Giselle would mind!

10. How did you meet your spouse/significant other?  I met my spouse for the first time at the library in college.  We really got to talking at a party though.  I know, how romantic!

Happy Valentine’s Day!
