40 Quotes by Eckhart Tolle to inspire you

02/02/2026 by Roy Sutton

As I read his book The Power of Now recently, I thought it would be interesting to explore some quotes by Eckhart Tolle.

Eckhart Tolle, or Ulrich Leonard Tölle as he was born, is a German-born spiritual teacher and self-help author of books such as The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment.

After being recommended by Oprah Winfrey, The Power of Now reached The New York Times Best Seller list in 2000. Its success meant that it was soon followed by A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose.

It’s always interesting to listen to successful people, so here are 40 quotes by Eckhart Tolle that I hope you will find inspiring.

Enjoy them all and please feel free to share them.

Quotes by Eckhart Tolle (1-15):

The only thing you ever have is now.
You’re not a problem that needs solving.
Life’s an adventure. It’s not a package tour.
You are the universe, you aren’t in the universe.
Power over others is weakness disguised as strength.
If you’re not living this moment, you’re not really living.
Being at ease with not knowing is crucial for answers to come to you.
The more you live in the present moment, the more the fear of death disappears.
To realize that you are not your thoughts is when you begin to awaken spiritually.
Many people identify their sense of self with the problems they have or think they have.
It is through gratitude for the present moment that the spiritual dimension of life opens up.
If small things have the power to disturb you, then who you think you are is exactly that: small.
If there are people you haven’t forgiven, you’re not going to really awaken. You have to let go.
When the dog looks at you, the dog is not thinking about what kind of a person you are. The dog is not judging you.
The ‘soul’ is one of the words you can use to talk about your innermost being, the essence of who you are.

Quotes by Eckhart Tolle (16-25):

Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have. Make the Now the primary focus of your life.
If you live only in one culture for the first 20 years of your life, you become conditioned without knowing it.
Thought can be so seductive and hypnotic that it absorbs your attention totally, so you become your thoughts.
People don’t realize that now is all there ever is; there is no past or future except as a memory or anticipation in your mind.
Discontent, blaming, complaining, and self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make.
The power for creating a better future is contained in the present moment: You create a good future by creating a good present.
People look to time in expectation that it will eventually make them happy, but you cannot find true happiness by looking toward the future.
If the structures of the human mind remain unchanged, we will always end up re-creating the same world, the same evils, the same dysfunction.
Many people in this world are still so identified with every thought that arises in their heads. There is not the slightest space of awareness there.
Acceptance looks like a passive state, but in reality, it brings something entirely new into this world. That peace, a subtle energy vibration, is consciousness.

Quotes by Eckhart Tolle (26-30):

Don’t wait to be successful at some future point. Have a successful relationship with the present moment and be fully present in whatever you are doing. That is success.
Dogmas are collective conceptual prisons. And the strange thing is that people love their prison cells because they give them a sense of security and a false sense of ‘I know.’ Nothing has inflicted more suffering on humanity than its dogmas.
The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive. To put it more accurately, you usually don’t use it at all. It uses you.
Thinking is a wonderful tool if it’s applied. Thinking, however, cannot become the master. Thinking is a very bad master. If you’re dominated by thinking then your life becomes very restricted.
Most humans are never fully present in the now because unconsciously they believe that the next moment must be more important than this one. But then you miss your whole life, which is never not now.

Quotes by Eckhart Tolle (31-35):

Your entire life only happens in this moment. The present moment is life itself. Yet, people live as if the opposite were true and treat the present moment as a stepping stone to the next moment – a means to an end.
People tend to dwell more on negative things than on good things. So the mind then becomes obsessed with negative things, with judgments, guilt and anxiety produced by thoughts about the future and so on.
There is a fine balance between honouring the past and losing yourself in it. For example, you can acknowledge and learn from mistakes you made, and then move on and refocus on the now. It is called forgiving yourself.
In the West, as well as some other parts of the world, the personal sense of ego tends to predominate, whereas in other areas, there is a more collective sense of ego. This collective ego emphasizes the ‘we’ rather than the ‘I.’
Thoughts are fine when you don’t confuse them with who you are, and then thoughts are not a problem. Thinking is a wonderful tool to create things in this world. It only becomes problematic and a source of suffering when you confuse thinking with who you are.

Quotes by Eckhart Tolle (36-40):

So many people have this idea: I want to achieve something great or be somebody great. And they neglect the step that leads to greatness. They don’t honour this step at this moment because they have this idea of some future moment where they are going to be great.
To complain is always non-acceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself into a victim. When you speak out, you are in your power. So change the situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or possible; leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness.
Any action is often better than no action, especially if you have been stuck in an unhappy situation for a long time. If it is a mistake, at least you learn something, in which case it’s no longer a mistake. If you remain stuck, you learn nothing.
In the egoic state, your sense of self, your identity, is derived from your thinking mind – in other words, what your mind tells you about yourself: the storyline of you, the memories, the expectations, all the thoughts that go through your head continuously and the emotions that reflect those thoughts. All those things make up your sense of self.
Wherever you are, be there totally. If you find your ‘here and now’ intolerable and it makes you unhappy, you have three options: remove yourself from the situation; change it; or accept it totally. If you want to take responsibility for your life, you must choose one of those three options, and you must choose now. Then accept the consequences.

Success Secrets: How your life can be better than it is now

02/02/2026 by Roy Sutton

How is life for you? Perhaps you’re lucky, and you have a great job, a nice house, a fancy car, a loving family, and a lifestyle that is the envy of your neighbours. If that’s you, then well done, but there’s nothing for you here. If you’ve achieved all that, then you don’t need any success secrets from me.

Success Secrets

If it is you, then I must tell you, you’re in a minority. However, I’m guessing you’re not part of that minority. Am I right? Statistically, you’re much more likely to be a member of life’s majority. Those people with a desire for their lives to be better, but who, for whatever reason, cannot translate that desire into something that’s better.

Statistically, you’re more likely to be part of that group of people constantly on the lookout for success secrets. People searching for the ‘secret sauce,’ if you like. You’re not alone, of course, but I hope this post will help you.

Why is it that some people are successful and others are not?

What secrets do the successful know that the unsuccessful do not know?

Can anyone be successful? The simple answer is yes.

However, unsuccessful people tend to think it’s not possible, so they don’t try. They just accept what they’re given as if that’s all they can expect from life. It’s almost as if they say to themselves, this is all life has for me. It’s like they believe that there are no success secrets.

Well, I must tell you now, if it’s not obvious to you, life can be better. Life is what you make it. Within reason, you can be whatever you want to be. You can have more. Other people do, so why not you?

Right now, where you are is where you are. It doesn’t really matter. What matters is that you don’t have to remain where you are. You’re not a tree; you can move. You can change. You can decide that your life will be different. And you can work towards something that’s better.

Your life really can be better than it is, and you can be better than you are. However, for it to be better, you have to believe it can be better, and you have to believe that you can turn it around. In fact, you have to believe in success secrets.

One thing all successful people have in common is a belief that something different can happen, and they can make it happen. They don’t allow anyone to tell them it can’t be done. They know what they want, and they’re determined to get it.

Some might consider them delusional, but successful people see it as self-belief. They won’t accept that they cannot do something because, intuitively, they know that if they try hard enough, then anything is possible. If they decide what they want and strive for what they want, they just know that somehow they can get it. The price is determination and hard work, but they’re willing to pay that price.

Successful people know that when faced with an elephant, you cannot swallow it whole. However, it can be eaten one bite at a time.

If you’re building a wall, then you don’t start with the entire wall. You start with a single brick, and you get that right. Then once that’s securely in place, you move on to the next brick and then the next and the next and so on. Pretty soon, if you stick at it long enough, you’ll have the whole wall.

Successful people know that they can’t get to where they want to go in one single leap. They know you get there gradually, one step at a time. And if you want to be successful, it starts with taking the first step.

Readers familiar with Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) will know that if you want to be successful, you look for successful people, identify what they do and then copy that model. The idea is that if it worked for them, then there’s a good chance it will work for you, too. Most successful people will have had role models they’ve copied at various times.

So if you want to be successful, look around for successful people and listen to what they have to say. Most people would accept that Will Smith is successful. In the video included here, he shares his thoughts on the secrets of success.

His observations are interesting and well worth a few minutes of your time. I can recommend them to you.

65 odd quotes that will make you think

02/02/2026 by Roy Sutton

If you like odd quotes, then take a look at the 65 I’ve curated for you here today. They’ll all make you think, and some might even amuse you, too.

Enjoy them all.

And please feel free to pass them on.

Odd Quotes (1 – 10):

If success is your goal, the main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.

My to-do list is a battleground between ambition and procrastination. Ambition is losing.

My brain is 80% sarcasm, 10% existential dread, and 10% whatever song is stuck in my head.

I don’t trust stairs that don’t creak. They’re plotting something.

A nap is nature’s way of saying, ‘You weren’t listening the first time I told you to go to bed.’

The only difference between me and a crazy person is I am good at hiding it in public.

Coffee is like a hug in a mug. Unless you add too much coffee, then it’s an anxiety attack in a mug.

I don’t know what’s wrong with my phone. I keep pressing the home button, but I still feel lost.

If you can’t convince them, confuse them. If you can’t confuse them, sprinkle glitter on everything and make a dramatic exit.

Dust bunnies are nature’s tumbleweeds, whispering secrets of forgotten snacks.

Odd Quotes (11 – 20):

I’m convinced houseplants judge me silently. Especially the ones I keep forgetting to water.

My therapist says I should express my emotions. So here I am, publicly admitting my love for fluffy socks.

If procrastination were an Olympic sport, I’d be a shoo-in for the gold medal.

I’m not indecisive, I’m just exploring all the awesome options. Simultaneously. (dangerous for buffets)

Sometimes I wonder if fish ever get bored of just swimming in circles. Then I remember I do the same thing on social media.

My pockets are like mini portals to another dimension. You never know what you might find in there.

I’m 100% sure butterflies taste like sunshine and rainbows. Don’t ask me how I know.

There’s a fine line between genius and insanity. I walk it daily, with a cup of coffee in one hand and a dream in the other.

My future self keeps sending me emails with the subject line ‘WHY?!?’

I’m not saying I talk to my furniture, but sometimes it gives surprisingly good advice.

Odd Quotes (21 – 30):

I’m convinced the reason birds can fly is because they have built-in confidence. Maybe I should try flapping my arms harder.

I’m not lost, I’m exploring alternative routes. Very scenic, and highly recommended (unless you’re in a hurry).

If you think nobody is listening to you, you’re probably right. But the houseplants are definitely judging.

Wrinkles are just battle scars from all the smiles I’ve collected over the years. (Or maybe from squinting at my phone too much.)

I’m an adult. (Debatable.) But I can definitely eat cookies for breakfast. (Not debatable.)

Sometimes the best conversations are the ones you have with yourself in the shower. Especially if you sing along.

I believe in aliens. But mostly because I can’t believe there are only boring humans on this whole planet.

I’m not addicted to social media; I can quit anytime… just let me finish checking these notifications real quick.

I used to think multitasking was a superpower. Now I just think it’s a recipe for burnt toast and forgotten birthdays.

My bed is a magical portal to another dimension where time has no meaning and laundry disappears. Don’t judge me.

Odd Quotes (31 – 40):

I’m not messy, I’m creatively de-cluttered. It’s like abstract expressionism, but with clothes and coffee cups.

I put the ‘pro’ in procrastination. Like a professional procrastinator. At the very least.

If napping was an Olympic sport, I’d be a living legend. Just ask my pillow.

I’m convinced dogs can understand everything we say. They just choose not to respond because they’re judging our life choices.

I wonder if clouds ever get lonely, just floating around by themselves all the time.

I’m not saying I’m lazy, I’m just very good at prioritizing rest. Rest is high on the list.

Spiders are nature’s tiny interior decorators. Just a bit too enthusiastic with the cobwebs.

Laundry folding is like a mythical creature: everyone talks about it, but nobody has seen it done.

I’m convinced buttons are conspiring against us. They always fall off at the worst possible moment.

The only reason I clean is because dust bunnies start forming organized societies. And that’s just creepy.

Odd Quotes (41 – 50):

My brain is like a browser with a million tabs open. Most of them are frozen and useless, but I can’t seem to close them.

I’m not a morning person, I’m a ‘coffee first, then talk’ person.

Sometimes the best way to get motivated is to set a deadline for yourself. Like, right before your favorite show starts.

I’m not anti-social, I’m selectively social. Like, I choose the company of animals over humans most days.

I believe in ghosts, but mostly because explaining away all the weird noises in my house gets tiring.

The struggle is real between wanting to be productive and wanting to build a blanket fort and live there forever.

I’m not indecisive, I’m just open to a wide range of possibilities. (Which basically means I can’t make a decision for the life of me.)

I’m convinced my cat is secretly judging my life choices. And frankly, I deserve it.

My bank account balance and my to-do list are in an inverse relationship. The more I do, the less I have.

Adulting is basically pretending to know what you’re doing most of the time. And hoping nobody notices.

Odd Quotes (51 – 60):

Life is a journey, not a destination. But sometimes, the journey involves getting lost on the highway of life and eating questionable gas station snacks.

My brain is a party with too many guests. Interesting conversations, but nobody can get anything done.

I wonder if mountains ever get bored of the same view. Maybe that’s why they erupt – a desperate need for a change of scenery.

I used to think I was good at multitasking. Now I just think I’m good at making a mess in several areas at once.

The only reason I go to the gym is to confuse my body into thinking it’s still young and capable. It rarely works.

The internet is a double-edged sword. You can learn anything you want, but you can also learn that people put pineapples on pizza. (Shudder)

I’m not lost in thought, I’m on an intellectual adventure in the labyrinth of my mind. (Hopefully I find my way out eventually.)

Sometimes the best conversations are the ones you have with yourself in the mirror. Especially if you give yourself good advice.

I believe in karma, but mostly because the idea of bad things happening to mean people is comforting. (Don’t worry, be good!)

I used to think money can’t buy happiness. Now I think it can buy a comfortable bed, good coffee, and fluffy blankets. That’s pretty darn close.

Odd Quotes (61 – 65):

My social battery is like a phone battery. It starts strong, then rapidly depletes with every interaction. Introvert life, anyone?

I’m not messy, I’m artistically de-organized. It creates a unique ambiance, like a modern art installation… of dirty clothes.

There’s a special place in heaven for people who return shopping carts. Probably right next to the free parking zone.

The internet is a magical place where you can learn anything you want, including how to make a volcano out of baking soda and vinegar. Don’t ask me why I know this.

I’m convinced dogs can understand everything we say. They just choose to respond with tail wags and happy barks because they’re too nice to point out our flaws.

5 short funny story jokes to brighten your day

02/01/2026 by Roy Sutton

Here are five short funny story jokes to brighten your day.

They all tickled me, and I hope they make you smile, too.

Feel free to pass them on.

Short funny story jokes:

1. Birthday surprise:

Mike was sitting on the edge of the bed, watching his wife, Jill, as she looked at herself in the mirror.

Since Jill’s birthday was not too far off, Mike asked her what she’d like to have for her birthday.

“I’d like to be eight again,” Jill replied, still looking in the mirror.

On the morning of Jill’s Birthday, Mike got up early and made her a nice big bowl of Coco Pops.

After breakfast, Mike took Jill to the Adventure World theme park.

What a day they had. Mike put Jill on every thrilling ride in the park. First, it was the Death Slide, then the Wall of Fear, then the Log Flume and finally the Screaming Roller Coaster. And after the rides, they went to see the Dolphin Show.

Five hours later, they staggered out of the theme park, exhausted.

Jill’s head was reeling, and her stomach felt upside down.

However, Mike wasn’t finished. He then took Jill to McDonald’s, where he ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a chocolate shake.

Then it was off to see a Disney movie, with popcorn, soda pop, and her favourite candy. Mike hoped Jill would see it all as a fabulous adventure and a bit like being eight again.

Finally, they staggered home and collapsed into bed, tired and weary.

At this point, Mike leaned over to Jill with a big smile on his face and asked lovingly, “Well, dear, what was it like being eight again?”

Her eyes opened slowly, one at a time, and her expression changed suddenly.

“I was referring to my dress size, you idiot,” Jill responded sarcastically

Moral of the Story: Even if a man’s listening, he’ll still get it wrong.

2. Cross-eyed Cattle:

One day, a Texan farmer, old Bert McKinley, was tending his beloved cattle on his ranch. As he was checking them all carefully, he noticed that one of the animals had gone completely cross-eyed.

So, he asked a veterinarian friend of his to come to the ranch to examine the cow and see if anything could be done.

The vet soon arrived and, having taken one quick look at the cow, he removed a long rubber tube from his bag and then inserted it into the cow’s butt. He then began blowing hard into the tube until the cow’s eyes began to straighten out.

The vet then charged the old farmer a hundred dollars for his work and went on his way.

About a week later, farmer McKinley was working with one of his ranch hands when he noticed that the same cow was cross-eyed again.

Having seen how the vet had corrected the problem, farmer McKinley decided he could save one hundred dollars by doing the work himself.

So he asked the ranch hand to get him a length of rubber tubing, and together they inserted it into the animal’s butt.

The farmer then put his lips to the tube and started to blow as hard as he could.

Unfortunately, nothing happened. So farmer McKinley asked his ranch hand to give it a try.

Before he did anything, the ranch hand removed the tube from the animal, turned it around, and then put re-inserted it into the cow’s butt.

As the ranch hand was about to start blowing, the old farmer said, “What are you doing?“

“Well,” said the ranch hand, “It wouldn’t be very hygienic to use the side that you used with your lips.“

3. Lateral thinking:

A game warden is doing his rounds around the lake when he spots a guy carrying what appears to be a bucket full of fish.

“Hey, buddy,” shouts the game warden. “Do you have a valid permit to catch those fish?”

“No, sir, I don’t have a permit,” the guy responds sheepishly. “But, these are my own pet fish.”

“PET FISH?” the game warden exclaims. “What the hell do you mean, pet fish?”

“Well, back home, I only have a tiny pond in my yard,” says the guy. “So, every night I bring them down here to allow them to swim around and get some exercise. I give them half an hour then I whistle, and they all jump back in the bucket.”

“What a load of baloney,” says the game warden. “Fish are not like dogs. They don’t respond to someone whistling.”

The guy thinks hard momentarily, and then he says, “I can show you if you like.”

“Really?” says the game warden, quizzically. “Right, Whistling Jack Smith, you show me!”

So, they walk back down to the lake, and the guy tips the bucket and pours the fish back into the water.

He then stands there for what seems like an age.

Eventually, wondering what’s going on, the game warden says, “Well?”

“Well, what?” the guy responds.

“Call them back,” says the game warden.

“Call who back?” says the guy.

“The fish!” says the game warden, getting increasingly exasperated.

“Fish?” the guy responds, looking a little puzzled. “What fish?”

Moral of the Story: To prove guilt, you’ll need evidence.

4. The blind man:

Two nuns were asked by the Mother Superior to paint the common room in the convent.

Now they were under strict instructions from the Mother Superior to ensure that they didn’t get paint on their habits.

So, as they were painting behind a closed door, they decided to carry out their work completely naked.

They were working away, making really good progress, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

“Who is it?” Sister Bernadette shouted.

“It’s the blind man,” came the reply.

The two nuns looked at each other and agreed that if the man was blind, the fact that they were naked shouldn’t make any difference.

So, Sister Bernadette went over to open the door.

“Wow!” the guy exclaims, “Great body, sister! Where do you want me to put the blinds?”

Moral of the Story: Making assumptions can prove costly.

5. The IRS Audit:

Jim Mooney had been retired for a few years when suddenly he received a summons one day from the IRS.

He’s been selected randomly for a tax audit, so he decides it might be wise if he takes his attorney with him.

Unsurprised by the attorney’s presence, the IRS auditor explains the procedure and then says to Jim, “Mr Mooney, we have been reviewing your affairs, and it appears that you have an extravagant lifestyle and yet you’re not in full-time employment nor do you have any other obvious sources of income. You’ve explained this by saying that you win money gambling. Well, sir, I have to tell you, the IRS doesn’t believe that’s a credible explanation.”

“Well, I am a skilled gambler,” says Jim, “and I can prove it to you if you’re willing to participate in a wager with me.”

The IRS auditor considers this proposition momentarily and then says, “Yes, I’m willing to give that a try, so go ahead.”

“Right,” says Jim, “I’ll bet you one thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye.”

The IRS auditor considers this carefully and decides that it’s impossible.

“OK then, Mr Mooney,” he says, “You have a bet.”

At this point, and to the IRS auditor’s great surprise, Jim removes his glass eye and then bites it.

The auditor sits there in stunned silence,

Jim then says, “I’ll bet you two thousand dollars that I can bite my other eye.”

Mr Mooney isn’t blind, so he can’t have another glass eye, thinks the auditor. That’s got to be impossible, surely? So, the auditor accepts the bet.

So, Jim removes his dentures and then bites his good eye.

The auditor is stunned, once again, as he now realizes he’s lost three grand and Jim has his attorney as a witness. Naturally, the auditor is starting to get a little nervous.

“Want to go again?” asks Jim

“What do you have in mind now?” asks the auditor.

Jim smiles and says, “I’ll bet you six thousand dollars that I can stand on this side of your desk and pee into that wastebasket next to your chair, without a single drop going anywhere in between.”

The auditor, realising now that he’s dealing with a wily old fox, is feeling very cautious. However, he thinks carefully about the proposition, and he decides there’s no way this old guy could manage that stunt, so he agrees.

Jim stands in front of the desk, lowers his zipper, and strains mightily, but the trajectory of his pee fails to reach the wastebasket and splashes all over the auditor’s desk.

The auditor is both ecstatic and relieved. He’s just turned a major loss into a huge win for him.

However, Jim’s attorney shouts out in obvious pain and puts his head in his hands, face down on the auditor’s desk.

“What’s the matter?” asked the auditor.

“When my client asked me to attend this audit today,” the attorney responded, “he bet me twenty-five thousand dollars that he could come in here and pee all over your desk and that you’d be happy about it.”

Moral of the Story: Don’t mess with old folks!

The real cost of television? The answer will surprise you

02/01/2026 by Roy Sutton

Have you ever considered what the real cost of television is and the effect it has on your life?

When you’ve worked hard all day, I’m sure you find it so easy when you arrive home in the evening to have a bite to eat and then relax in front of the television. You just passively watch whatever’s on offer because it’s your time now, right?

If you’ve worked hard all day, you deserve a rest, surely?

Anyway, you’ve got a nice television, and it cost you a lot of money, right?

So, of course, you want to make the most of it, don’t you?

If you’ve spent all that money, why would you want to waste such a fine piece of technology by not using it? Surely that’s a reasonable argument?

The real cost of television?

Opportunity cost:

Well, it’s an argument, of course, but have you ever given serious thought to the real cost of that television to you?

How much do you think it actually costs?

Now, I’m not referring to the price tag in the store when you purchased your television, though even that’s not insignificant.

I’m referring to the opportunity cost of the time wasted passively watching television.

Never forget, time is money.

And time wasted watching television could have been used doing something that would have been far more profitable for you, at least in the long term.

Deep down, I suspect, in your heart, you know that dear reader, don’t you? Nevertheless, knowing and acting on the knowledge you possess are two different things.

The importance of time:

How often do you hear people say things like, I’d love to earn more money; I’d love to have a better job; I’d love to learn another language; I’d love to learn to play the piano; and so on? Then you’ll hear them say, “If only I had the time.”

Do you recognise yourself anywhere there, dear reader?

The simple fact is that when it comes to time.

We all have the same amount, 168 hours each week. It all comes down to how you choose to use and prioritize your time.

Time is a resource, like any other:

Successful people recognise that time is their most precious resource, and they use it wisely.

People who succeed have a genuine sense of purpose, and they’re very focused on their goals. They know what they want, and they have a plan as to how they’ll get it.

Do you have a genuine sense of purpose, dear reader?

Have you got a clear idea in terms of where you’re going?

Do you know what it is you want out of life?

Life can be better:

Perhaps life is something that’s just happening to you, and you’re just going with the flow?

That’s an acceptable strategy if you’re willing to accept whatever life throws at you.

However, you must ask yourself: Are you really happy with your life and the share of life’s pie you’ve been given so far, or do you want more?

Well, let me tell you this, dear reader. For things to improve, you must first learn to use your time wisely.

Remember: Time is more important than money because you can always get more money, but you can’t get more time.

Secondly, you need a clear sense of direction and your own plan for how you’ll get to where you want to go. Without direction and a plan, you’ll be destined to be used as part of someone else’s plan.

However, that’ll only be for as long as you can serve some useful purpose for them.

Once you no longer serve any purpose for them you’ll cease to be part of their plan. And then you’ll be scratching around looking for another way to earn a living.

The world is an unforgiving place, that’s for sure.

Be a person of value:

Work is just doing stuff for other people in exchange for money.

However, we don’t just get paid for the hour. Our pay is dictated by the value we put into that hour.

The more value we can add the more we’ll earn.

And to add more value we must be increasing our knowledge and skills constantly.

We reap what we sow.

If we fail to reap, we cannot sow.

And how can you reap if you spend your life passively watching television? Time wasted cannot be recovered.

You’ll get out what you put it:

In my experience, we get out of life exactly what we put in. The more we put in the more we’ll get out.

The obvious question is, how can you get more out of life?

If you’re happy to go through life passively watching television but struggling to make a decent living then that’s fine, if that’s what you want. Just keep doing what you’re doing. Waste as much of your time as you like.

However, if you want more than that then it’s time to start designing the life you want and avoiding time-wasters like television.

It’s time to decide where you’re going; and what you want out of life. It’s time to develop your plan for success. And above all, it’s time to stop wasting your time.

You can be a winner. Anybody can.

However, it does require some effort on your part and a clear sense of direction though. That’s a given.

A great source of inspiration:

And if you’re going to be a winner, in addition to using your time wisely, you’ll also need a constant source of inspiration to keep you motivated.

One of my greatest sources of inspiration is the late, great business philosopher Jim Rohn.

You’ll find plenty of videos featuring Jim Rohn on YouTube.

However, you might also consider buying one of Jim Rohn’s books or even an audio recording to listen to in your car or on your smartphone or iPad.

One Jim Rohn book (also available as an audio recording) that I can highly recommend is:

The Art of Exceptional Living.

Check it out on Amazon while it’s fresh in your mind. You won’t regret it.

If you found this article interesting, please share it with your friends on social media.

When you share, everyone wins.

Do that for me, and I’ll be forever grateful.

The way to discover your true potential

02/01/2026 by Roy Sutton

What’s the best way to discover your true potential? That’s an interesting question.

Have you ever considered what your true potential might be, dear reader?

Have you ever thought you might have some hidden depths about which even you cannot be sure?

Certainly, many people underestimate their ability or simply allow negative thinking to stop them from exploring all they can be.

It’s easy for us to think that we don’t have much to offer in terms of ability.

We all worry about being ‘found out‘ at times. We all experience self-doubt. That’s natural, but we must keep any self-doubt under control.

Negative thinking is like the weeds in your garden. If you’re not careful, the weeds take over, and your garden suffers. Well, your mind is just like a garden.

And like a garden, you must tend it well.

Nourish your mind with learning. Be inspired by books, films, songs, and inspirational videos and audio programs by the great thinkers of our time. Encourage healthy thoughts and an even healthier outlook.

Let me remind you, dear reader, that you do have enormous potential.

Human beings have unlimited capacity to develop as many skills as necessary.

Unfortunately, far too many people go through life with their potential untapped. And that’s sad, wouldn’t you agree?

The world needs all the skills and ideas it can get. You have the capacity for ideas in abundance. The world needs your full potential.

Do you need a little help to discover your full potential? If so, don’t worry. You’re not alone. There are plenty of people just like you, but help is at hand.

Discover your true potential:

The late, great Jim Rohn was one of the great philosophical thinkers of our time. Certainly when it comes to personal development. I’ve read all his books, watched his videos and listened to his audio programs. And I still do frequently. I find his work truly inspirational.

In the following video, Jim Rohn offers some words of wisdom on how to go about discovering your true potential in life.

This video is truly inspiring and worth a few minutes of your time. Anything by Jim Rohn is well worth your time, in my opinion.

I think Jim Rohn was one of the best motivational speakers I’ve ever heard. He has a homespun, folksy philosophy, but please don’t be fooled. His messages are simple but powerful. So listen and learn.

Jim Rohn’s simple messages resonate with people as much today as they did when he made his speeches originally.

If you only have time to listen to one motivational speaker, then Jim Rohn is undoubtedly the one to whom I always turn, and I recommend you do too.

Recommendations for your library:

As I said earlier, Jim Rohn is one of the best motivational speakers I’ve ever heard, and he’s been a big influence on me, that’s for sure.

He’s produced many books, videos, and audio programs over the years, and they will all add value to your library.

Two I can strongly recommend you add to your personal reference library are:

Seven Strategies for Wealth & Happiness by Jim Rohn
The Art of Exceptional Living by Jim Rohn

I purchased both of these a couple of years ago, and I still use them constantly as sources of inspiration and motivation.

Purchasing these items represents money well spent for me, and I’ve found them enormously useful. I strongly recommend them to you.

Even if you don’t buy them, they’re certainly worth considering. So, check them out right away while it’s fresh in your mind.

Did you find this article interesting and useful, dear reader?

If so, then please share it on social media with your friends. When you share, everyone wins.

So please share it now. If you do, I’ll be ever so grateful, and you’ll be helping a keen blogger reach a wider audience.

Thank you.

15 Quotes by Will Smith that’ll inspire you today

02/01/2026 by Roy Sutton

Today, I thought you might find it interesting to explore some quotes by Will Smith.

Willard Carroll Smith II, better known as Will Smith, is an American actor, rapper, and producer. He’s a Hollywood A-Lister and successful by any measure.

Noted for his work in film, television, and music, he has received multiple accolades, including an Academy Award, four Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and nominations for a Primetime Emmy Award and a Tony Award.

Anyone as successful as Will Smith is someone we can learn from. Yes, he’s made mistakes; who hasn’t? But you can’t argue with success. If it worked for him, it might work for you.

So, enjoy these 15 quotes by Will Smith. I’m confident that at least some of them will inspire you.

Quotes by Will Smith (1-10):

Life is lived on the edge.
The first step is you have to say that you can.
I want the world to be better because I was here.
The things that have been most valuable to me I did not learn in school.
Money and success don’t change people; they merely amplify what is already there.
Whatever your dream is, every extra penny you have needs to be going to that.
In my mind, I’ve always been an A-list Hollywood superstar. Y’all just didn’t know yet.
And where I excel is my ridiculous, sickening, work ethic. You know, while the other guy’s sleeping? I’m working.
I’m a student of world religion, so to me, it’s hugely important to have the knowledge and to understand what people are doing.
I’ve always considered myself to be just average talent and what I have is a ridiculous insane obsessiveness for practice and preparation.

Quotes by Will Smith (11-15):

I’ve trained myself to illuminate the things in my personality that are likeable and to hide and protect the things that are less likeable.
If it was something that I really committed myself to, I don’t think there’s anything that could stop me from becoming President of the United States.
Throughout life, people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad. Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your heart will consume you too.
We all want to be in love and find that person who is going to love us no matter how our feet smell, no matter how angry we get one day, no matter the things we say that we don’t mean.
I know how to learn anything I want to learn. I absolutely know that I could learn how to fly the space shuttle because someone else knows how to fly it, and they put it in a book. Give me the book, and I do not need somebody to stand up in front of the class.
