It’s Never Crowded Along The…
What a simple, yet powerful turn of phrase from Dr. Dyer.
He could sometimes get a little “out there” for my taste, but he never failed to inspire me.
Another one of my favorites from him is...
“When you squeeze an orange, what comes out? Orange juice. Why? Because that’s what’s inside. When life or other people squeeze or put pressure on you, what comes out? Whatever is already inside.”
I might have to save that one for Simple Secrets: Volume II.

Once You Make A Decision, The Universe Conspires…
Alert! Alert!
We’re getting dangerously close to The Secret territory and all that Law of Attraction stuff -- which I think has done way more harm than good.
I’ll steer us clear of it, though, so hold on.

Achieve Your Meaning Through Creativity, Not…
See if you remember this TV ad jingle from the seventies:
“I’m a Pepper, he’s a Pepper, she’s a Pepper, we’re a Pepper! If you drink Dr. Pepper, you’re a Pepper, too!”
Hey, if you want to be a Pepper, that’s fine.
One of the keys to life, though, is to not just be a Pepper.
By all means, go ahead and drink a certain soda, drive a certain car, don’t let anything come between you and a certain pair of jeans – if you remembered the jingle; you’ll remember the jeans ad – but draw the bulk of your identity and self-worth from what you’re putting out into the world, and not from what you’re taking in.

The Most Important Story You Tell About Yourself Is…
This is very similar to one of my other favorite quotes by Henry Ford:
"Whether you think you can't or think you can, you're right."
I include this one because it specifically references the power of story, which is actually the title of Sports Psychologist Jim Loehr's book (The Power of Story).
Always remember, people would rather hear a story than a fact.
Don't believe me?
Walk around a bookstore and see how much shelf-space is devoted to fiction verses non-fiction.
How many of the top-grossing movies this year will be documentaries?
