Mensah Oteh, The Good Life: Transform Your Life Through One Good Day Quotes
Focus comes from a promise of the future, and therefore the strength and longevity of your focus will seldom exceed the strength of your purpose, vision, dreams or goal.
Ideas and dreams are only valuable after they have been acted on.
A mediocre idea acted on is of more value than a handful of brilliant ideas that remain in your mind.
The willingness to burn your ships, cut off all sources of retreat, and take decisive action is often the only assured path to success.
Affirm yourself every day (especially after every setback) because no one else will do it for you.
You can change your perspective on any experience by given it a positive and empowering meaning.
It’s not what happens, it’s what you do that makes the difference to how things turn out. Change your perspective in the way that serves you best.
Focus is central to everything you do, and where your focus goes, energy flows
Focus means exercising the self-discipline required to keep your time, energy and attention directed towards the outcomes you have chosen whilst avoiding all distractions – good or bad.
You will fall short of achieving your goals if your focus is fragmented and your attention, energy, and concentration diversified.
Every day comes with a host of opportunities but also distractions. You need to develop good judgement in the decisions and choices you make.
One of the greatest obstacles to success is the belief is that your future is predetermined. It isn’t. You decide the outcomes through your decisions and actions.

For long-term success, invest 5-10% of your time each day and 5-10% of your income each month in increasing your wisdom.
Feed your mind with thoughts that inspire, motivate, encourage, empower, educate and instruct you by deliberately choosing the information you allow into your world through sight, sound and people.
Planning your day before it begins, and adjusting your plan through the day, is one of the most important daily habits.
How you choose to live is one of the best indicators of the future you will have.
Like the rudder or anchor on a ship, your habits can guide you in the direction of your dreams or hold you back and keep you from achieving them.
To truly live a passionate life, develop habits and routines that engage you and enable you to express your passion each day.
Surround yourself with things that inspire you every day. Let go of everything that drains your inspiration.
When you are inspired, there is little you won’t attempt. Find what inspires you, and keep it around and with you always.
Planning gives you the opportunity to identify the tasks that will add the most value to attaining your outcomes.
Wisdom allows you to decide how best to apply yourself to get the most return on your time and energy invested.
The abundant life should include all that life has freely given you – love, good health, success, prosperity, happiness, joy, spirituality, fulfilment, wisdom, purpose, growth and excitement.
To succeed in life you need five things – a burning desire, a willingness to do whatever it takes, wisdom, incredible effort, and a commitment to never ending improvement.
Success can’t be achieved without personal development and constantly improving yourself.
Successful people’s dreams aren’t just about results. They’re about the changes their dreams will bring to their lives and the impact achieving their goal will have on those around them.
Courage is important but it shouldn’t be used in making impulsive decisions or taking uncalculated actions.
Life goals hold the key to a lifetime of success.
Goals reveal your path to success, greatness and significance. Become a master goal setter and you will chart the course of your life.
The greatest value in the goal process is the skills, the knowledge, the discipline, and the character you develop in pursuit of your goal.
Effort is the foundation of all achievements and is the single greatest competitive advantage and quality you must consistently apply to achieve your dreams.
You must discipline yourself consistently to do what others do occasionally in order to have the future few will get to experience.
There isn’t a single definition of happiness to suit everyone’s requirements, but you know it when you feel it
Life isn’t about what you have, it’s about who you are.
Your environment and the associations you keep will affect how you think, feel, and act, and ultimately the results you get.
Develop a strong thirst for positive associations and learning from others, because the right people can take you further than you can go on your own.
Success is not achieved in a vacuum: the people you spend most of your time with and the voices you allow to influence your thoughts play a significant part in your success or lack of it.
Be willing to constantly travel towards the dreams of your future, and don’t be afraid to give up the good for the great.
Success is achieved by the deliberate consistent discipline of taking small steps daily rather than one large step occasionally.
If your actions are combined with proper planning and perseverance, there are no heights you cannot attain.
Create in your mind a picture of what you want and then live that vision as if it already exists.
The power and magnetic pull of your vision is hinged on the purpose and passion behind it and, most importantly, the intent.
