"Meaning's in your mind, it's never in the events. The meaning that you give events generally comes from your beliefs and beliefs get formed in the past. Meaning gets formed in the moment. So when you get rid of beliefs, you get rid of the patterns." — Shelly Lefkoe
"If you get criticized as a child, you say, why can't I live up to mommy and daddy's expectations? Oh, I guess I'm not good enough. Why are mommy and daddy struggling about money? Well, I guess money is scarce and hard to get. That's how the beliefs are formed." — Shelly Lefkoe
"Never ask "why". Why is a terrible question. Even if you knew why, it's not powerful. Ask "what". What is answerable. Why? I don't know. And that's what you'll get from your kid. Why don't you like school? I don't know. What is it about school that you don't like?" — Shelly Lefkoe
