Paul B. Farrell Quotes

“Although you may be vaguely aware that other people do, in fact, think, feel, and behave differently from you, unless you know more about personality differences, you’re stuck, unable to pinpoint why others are different, wishing that they would be more like you.”

“Even if you don’t understand why you act the way you do, you are still responsible for your behavior.”

“Extraverts prefer the world outside themselves — drawing their energy through interacting with the external world. They have lots of friends, like to socialize and talk to people, and even think out loud as a way of working things out. They love telephone conversations, meetings, and group-think, and they tend to avoid private time. Their view of the world is objective, focused on things and people, cars, sports, family, machines, the home — things external to them.”

“Imagine, an entire life focused on one central theme, penetrating the secret of personality. In a way, all of us, you, me, and our neighbors are — consciously or unconsciously – also searching for the secret to our own individual personalities.

Think about it for a minute: When you cut to the chase, isn’t your entire life also focused on penetrating the secret of your personality — on discovering who you are, why you are here, and whether you are fulfilling your destiny?”

“Introverts are energized by their own inner world. They enjoy their own company, time alone, reading and thinking quietly, working things out before going into the real world with other people. They have a few close friends with intimate relationships. They are great listeners, preferring to avoid group meetings and long conversations. They live in their heads and enjoy a clearly subjective view of the world.”

“Most people are a mixture of extraverted and introverted, possibly shifting back and forth.”

“Progress, of course, comes when you change.”

“Sensation tells us that something exists.
Thinking tells you what is.
Feeling tells you whether something is agreeable or not.
Intuition tells you whence it comes and where it is going.”

“Some mysterious force — your personality, perhaps hidden in your DNA and genes — is conditioning, guiding, directing, perhaps even secretly (and unconsciously) controlling how you see the world, what kind of information you decide is important, and the very processes you use to make decisions and live every day in the world.”

“Some people become their true selves while still children, some when they emancipate from their parents’ home as teenagers and go forth as adults. Others do not choose until a major loss or midlife crisis. Still others not until late in life — or never. Everyone must decide for themselves: Are you your own person, or a clone?
This conflict, of course, is inevitable, because Jung also discovered that the preferences forming our personality become evident early in life, in childhood, as if they’re genetically locked in our DNA.”

“The only real mystery — if there is one — is discovering the real you and the millionaire within you. We’ve heard this great challenge so often since ancient times.

Writing in the Tao Te Ching 5,000 years ago, Lao Tzu tells us to 'follow your true nature'. Twenty-five hundred years ago, Plato repeated the message: 'Know thyself'.
Down though the ages, great mystics of all faiths tell us to 'listen to the still, small voice within', for there lies the truth of our being.

Get in touch with the real you and your mission in life — and then your unique path to getting rich in spirit and in fact will become obvious.”

“The problem is that there really is no one-sizefits-all, cookie-cutter approach to becoming a millionaire.”

“The reason there aren’t more millionaires in America is not because you and I lack the information. We know we have all the formulas, tools, databases, newsletters, methodologies, and software we’ll ever need on budgeting, saving, investing, and all the other tricks essential to becoming a millionaire. The problem is, we have too @#%& much information, not too little!”

“The relationship between Jung and Freud clearly grew out of mutual respect, admiration, and affection, at the beginning. But as time passed, the student’s own personality emerged, distinct from his teacher. At some point, such choices become quite simple, though all too often culminating in painful separations.

The choice, nevertheless, is clear and simple: You either surrender yourself and live your life as others define your personality, or you decide to break free and assert your own personality, letting it emerge and grow in the direction of your destiny.

Eventually, we are all confronted with choices like this.”

“The vast majority of Americans trying to become millionaires are doing it the wrong way — doing it someone else’s way, using formulas that just don’t fit with their true personality. Or worse yet, they get frustrated, give up, and do nothing.”

“There’s no big mystery about how to become a millionaire. You can easily find tons of information in libraries, bookstores, periodicals, and online. So here’s the big question for you: If we have all this fancy ultra-sophisticated information, why are there are so darn few millionaires in America?”

“Wall Street’s not your friend. Wall Street’s money managers have most Americans believing that Wall Street gurus can beat the market and that you can’t win without their superior intelligence.”

“Whether you accumulate your million or not, you won’t be truly happy unless you are in sync with the millionaire within you.”
