“I won’t let others stoke fear in my heart. I choose to remain true to who I am and where my dreams direct me no matter the hardship I might incur. I remember it always: Fear wins or Freedom wins, and I choose Freedom.” ~ Brendon Burchard

“We have forgotten that courage is a choice, and that permission to move forward with boldness is never given by the fearful masses. Most have forgotten that seeking change always requires a touch of insanity.

We must remember we are not the sum of our intentions but of our actions. Bold and.” ~ Brendon Burchard

“It is difficult to accept but no less true: If fear is winning in our lives, it is because we simply keep choosing it over our other impulses to be strong or bold or great.” ~ Brendon Burchard

You feel more grounded, responsible, sure. A new level of harmony and steadiness enters your life, and you feel proud of who you are and how you interact with the world. You barely blink at an unsteady and uncertain world, because you find steadiness and certainty within. Life becomes yours.” ~ Brendon Burchard

“Social oppression is at work when the ways of others diminish who we are or stop us from pursuing our own goals.

In this ailing and turbulent world, we must find peace within and become more self-reliant in creating the life we deserve.” ~ Brendon Burchard

“Hurt has nothing to do with love, and love is unaffiliated with and unaffected by pain.

And no amount of love – no matter the pain or hurt – is ever.” ~ Brendon Burchard

“Freedom requires responsibility to choose who we are above and beyond our immediate impulses, needs, and social pressures, so that we can genuinely express the type of person we want to be, live the life we truly want to live, leave the legacy we desire.” ~ Brendon Burchard

“The man afflicted by hunger for power or money for its own sake is just that: afflicted. He is tormented by incessant desires for more without cause.

“Too often we don’t call out a wrong or expect ourselves or others to act with routine integrity, excellence, or love. There has been a worldwide failure in leadership, birthing an apathetic populace, unjustifiable poverty, unconscionable greed, and a globe ravaged and booby-trapped by war.” ~ Brendon Burchard

Gaining Personal Freedom in this sense is letting go of any self-doubt and self-loathing and allowing ourselves permission to be our unique, powerful, authentic selves.” ~ Brendon Burchard

“A society that lacks good people willing to speak against evil or low standards can only devolve into darkness and mediocrity.” ~ Brendon Burchard

“Destiny turns its favor toward those who act, awarding them with success and a heroic recognition in life.” ~ Brendon Burchard

“Often, breaking integrity means repeatedly doing things we do not love with people we do not care for. Isn’t life meant to be a passionate love affair with our work, our faith, and those we are blessed to know, care for, and serve?” ~ Brendon Burchard

“Maturity comes in understanding that it is our choice alone to move toward freedom.” ~ Brendon Burchard

But I’ll tell you what: the path of least resistance leads exactly where that ride leads to.” He pointed again to the carts looping around the track.

“Clarity is the child of careful thought and mindful experimentation. It comes from asking yourself questions continually and further refining your perspective on life.” ~ Brendon Burchard

“To succeed, always remember that the main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.” ~ Brendon Burchard

“People are remarkably bad at remembering long lists of goals. I learned this at a professional level when trying to get my high-performance coaching clients to stay on track; the longer their lists of to-dos and goals, the more overwhelmed and off-track they got. Clarity comes with simplicity.” ~ Brendon Burchard

“I bring all this up because in the end our self-image is a self-fulfilling prophecy – remember, our human drive makes us behave in accordance with that image.
