Standout Quotes:

• Imagination is far more important than knowledge or willpower when dealing with your own mind or the mind of others. When imagination and willpower are in conflict, imagination wins all the time. Unless you are Navy SEAL level trained to just go forward. And that's mostly a trance phenomenon anyway. It's not really willpower.
• In terms of motivation strategies, you only have two possible directions. You either move towards pleasure or away from pain. They are not mutually exclusive because you can be the kind of person who actually moves towards pleasure and away from pain. Or you can be someone who moves away from pain and towards pleasure.
• Once an idea has been accepted by the inner mind, it remains there until it is replaced by another idea. This kind of goes hand in glove with our identity statements. Once you accept something as an identity or as a belief, it will remain until you go in and you put something else there.
