If instead of completely focusing on what you are doing, you are racing ahead to something shinier or to the next best thing, you will not develop excellence.
Quote by -Mark Goulston
The best way to learn to be present and develop presence is to have the experience of someone you respect and admire being present with and for you.
Quote by -Mark Goulston
The more comfortable you become at accepting recognition, the more comfortable you will be with giving it.
Quote by -Mark Goulston
People often say, 'I don't need recognition,' and the truth is they are right. We don't need it. But like healthy food and exercise, life is a whole lot better with it.
Quote by -Mark Goulston
Happy couples resist the temptation to go to bed at different times. They go to bed at the same time, even if one partner wakes up later to do things while their partner sleeps.
Quote by -Mark Goulston
If and when they have a disagreement or argument, and if they can't resolve it, happy couples default to trusting and forgiving rather than distrusting and begrudging.
Quote by -Mark Goulston
Have you ever heard someone tell a story but felt they are just mouthing the words without being emotionally connected? When you do this, you often create a more negative reaction than if you hadn't told a story at all. That's because others can see that you're just going through the motions.
Quote by -Mark Goulston
Customers are your best teachers. Learning about your customer's beliefs, values, and priorities teaches you which selling points you should emphasize.
Quote by -Mark Goulston
It's no fun being a salesperson when it feels like you're talking to a wall. That's what it feels like when you haven't learned your customer's points of interest.
Quote by -Mark Goulston
Buying involves decision-making. It's a performance activity, like sports or acting.
Quote by -Mark Goulston
When you're actually talking over someone, it's as if you're just pontificating and they're not even there. And their body language - they're trying to get away from you. And if you're pontificating at an audience, and there's a break, the non-martyrs in the audience are not going to come back. I mean, they just want to get away from you.
Quote by -Mark Goulston
I think people don't want to be persuaded. And people don't even like to do the persuading.
Quote by -Mark Goulston
When you're trying to persuade people, more often than not, they feel you're being pushy. When you focus on influencing them, they're much less defensive and open to hearing what you have to say.
Quote by -Mark Goulston
People really don't like to be inconvenienced. If you don't agree with that, ask yourself how you like it when it happens to you.
Quote by -Mark Goulston
If fun puts a smile on your face, beauty and elegance put a smile in your heart and take your breath away. It's longer-lasting and more satisfying than fun.
Quote by -Mark Goulston
MIA stands for 'missing in action,' which is the way others can experience you when you're too busy multi-tasking, being pulled at by the world and by everything that's going on in your head, and, essentially, when you're too busy being busy.
Quote by -Mark Goulston
Do something to help your community or people around you. That will help you feel more worthwhile and less alone.
Quote by -Mark Goulston
Too often, founders make decisions before determining whether they are the right thing to do. These decisions often create chaos in their companies where people are having to jump from the last 'great idea' to yet another unproven-and-about-to-be-poorly-executed one.
Quote by -Mark Goulston
In my executive advising role, my persona, which seems to work very well with both women and men, is being 'the big brother you always wanted.' I am fortunate to have two such big brothers, so this isn't just a theoretical construct.
Quote by -Mark Goulston
Women have always run the world; maybe it's time to give them a chance at ruling it.
Quote by -Mark Goulston
One of the reasons it is so difficult to break a connection to something or someone you have imprinted on is that after you imprint, it seeds into your mind and goes from working memory to stored, hard-wired memory from which it is much more difficult to sever that attachment.
Quote by -Mark Goulston
More often than not, CEOs are conflict-avoidant because their role is to define vision and strategy than it is to get into confrontations with negative and toxic people which they can't stand.
Quote by -Mark Goulston
Technology loves and thrives and makes gobs of money on conspicuous consumption.
Quote by -Mark Goulston
If people are living their lives for security and comfort and pleasure, then mind's every waking moment will be plotting those things. That's how it stays identified - as a body, as a you.
Quote by -Byron Katie
For me, the future lives only here in my mind, as thoughts and images, just as the past does, and I love those thoughts and the world that it produces. I am entirely optimistic about the future.
Quote by -Byron Katie
I see the goodness and beauty in everyone, and everything is a gift given for me and for all of us. If you don't love it, question your mind until you do.
Quote by -Byron Katie
Actually, I can't take credit for any of my decisions. I noticed one day that all my decisions were making themselves, and always at the right time. I haven't had to make one decision since then. They are always made for me, and they come from the wisdom that is in us all. I trust that wisdom completely. That trust itself was a decision made for me as inquiry cleared my mind. No decision, no fear.
Quote by -Byron Katie
I'll tell you that for me, one when someone used to say something that was true, one way I knew it was true was that I immediately felt defensive. I blocked it off, and I went to war with them in my mind and suffered all that goes with it. And they were only saying what was true.
Quote by -Byron Katie
A mind that doesn't question its judgements, makes the world very small and dangerous.
Quote by -Byron Katie
Thought the mind can justify itself faster than the speed of light, it can be stopped through the act of writing.
Quote by -Byron Katie
I have discovered that in every language and every country I have visited, there are no new stories. They're all recycled. The same stressful thoughts arise in each mind one way or another, sooner or later.
Quote by -Byron Katie
I havent had a single thought for 26 years. I have only understanding. Its somewhat complicated to understand that. Ive hardly ever spoken about it. Youre in a state of total peace of mind. A kind of nirvana.
Quote by -Byron Katie
The world will be at war as long as the mind is at war with itself. If we can't find peace within ourselves, where is the hope for peace in the world?
Quote by -Byron Katie
Mind changes, and as a result, the world changes. A clear mind heals everything that needs to be healed.
Quote by -Byron Katie
There's no one who can teach you except yourself. Each of us needs to look at what our belief system really consists of. Look at the concepts that come across your mind and just notice what you believe.
Quote by -Byron Katie
You can never make yourself believe that you're loveable, however hard you try, because when the chips are down what you really believe rises to the surface of the mind to replace what you want to believe.
Quote by -Byron Katie
When the creative mind is unleashed and understands its true nature, it's unlimited. There's nothing you cannot do.
Quote by -Byron Katie
The mind at war with itself does war with any other mind, and that produces war in the world - all of it.
