"Fear of failure or success is one and the same. Both are fear of exposure. Not of our strengths, but of our weaknesses." -- Kevin W. McCarthy

"Never follow the crowd in what you do; the crowd has never produced anything of lasting quality, value or beauty." -- Denis Waitley

"A person is the causer (though nearly always unconsciously) of his circumstances, and that, whilst aiming at the good end, he is continually frustrating its accomplishment by encouraging thoughts and desires which cannot possibly harmonize with that end." -- As A Man Thinketh

"If you wait for inspiration you'll be standing on the corner after the parade is a mile down the street." -- Ben Nicholas

"Chance favors those in motion." -- James H. Austin

"You have a calling which exists only for you and which only you can fulfill." -- Dr. Naomi Stephan

"Action on the move creates its own route, creates to a very great extent the conditions under which it is to be fulfilled and thus baffles all calculation." -- Henri Bergson

"It's the little things you do that can make a big difference. What are you attempting to accomplish? What little thing can you do today that will make you more effective? You are probably only one step away from greatness." -- Bob Proctor

"Every action (or inaction) involves a choice between what is more important and what is less important." -- Brian Tracy

"It's good to have money and the things money can buy, but it's good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure that you haven't lost the things money can't buy." -- George Horace Lormier

"Learn how to separate the majors and the minors. A lot of people don't do well simply because they major in minor things." -- Jim Rohn

"Don't be a time manager, be a priority manager. Cut your goals into bite-sized pieces. Each small priority or requirement on the way to the ultimate goal becomes a mini-goal in itself." -- Denis Waitley

"It is the inside you that is important. Dress up and look good so you attract people who can find out how nice, interesting and valuable you are." -- Patricia Fripp

Hey Tony, I like the major and minor quote.  I try not to major in minor things and keep my priorities straight.  Nice thought-provoking quotations.

I often feel like I "major in minor things" like toilets.  After hundreds of home inspections, don't we know way to much about minor things like keep the dirt away from the wood siding?

I like this quote.  It's so true for many people who, may never realize it.

Thanks for the post.

Doreen - So true and because they fear exposure, they never take action. Have a great weekend!
