The Purpose Principles Quotes
“How can anyone tell you what your life is supposed to be like? How can another person decide how you’re going to spend your time when they aren’t you? The answer is that it’s possible only if we give up our power of choice. But no legend, visionary, or hero has ever done that. They don’t give up their right to decide their own destiny.”
“The old adage "Live your life" simply means live your life. It does not mean: "Live Mommy’s life," or "Live Daddy’s life that he never had the courage to live," or "Live Justin Bieber’s life," or "Live the life that everyone else says you should live," or "Live the life of what’s easiest and most normal," or "Live the life that your teachers tell you is right, smart, and safe." "Live your life" means live your own life, and nobody else’s.”
“Who cares if people think I’m nuts? It’s better to be strange to others than to be a stranger to myself.”
“You must take the first step in living the life you want, which is to create the terms of your life. You must have a dream—a direction. However, this is often the moment when a voice in our heads creeps in and says, What if people think I am crazy? When this happens you need to reason with your mind and say, “Who cares if people think I’m nuts? It’s better to be strange to others than to be a stranger to myself.” Be yourself—whoever that is. And that is only possible if you don’t settle until you find what you love and do it with all of your heart and focus!”

“Avoid Toxic People Until you reach the point in your self-development where you no longer allow people to affect you with their negativity, you need to avoid toxic people at all costs. You’re better off spending time alone than spending time with people who will hold you back with their victim mentality and their mediocre standards. Make a conscious effort to surround yourself with positive, nourishing, and uplifting people—people who believe in you, encourage you to go after your dreams, and applaud your victories. Surround yourself with possibility thinkers and idealists.”
