Famous Richie Norton Quotes

“Keeping knowledge from others for self-preservation is an ancient and evil practice.Truth, trust and transparency have always been the most dangerous anti-tradition. The hardest part about innovation and change is rarely unconventional, it’s that conventional people have built walls that they protect with war-like tactics. Progress is the product of openness, not shallowness.”

“The foolishness of continuing down a wrong path after you’ve already discovered it’s negative ways is called pride. Humility is doing what’s right when it’s hard and turning around when it’s wrong.”

“Phantom living (and the associated phantom pain) looks like doing things you don’t have to do, but you think you do—letting life pass you by while you work day and night for success.”

“The fact is, too many people think they’ll be able to sacrifice their time now to get more later (time doesn’t work that way) only to find out that the systems they cemented over the years won’t allow them to leave without things falling apart.”

If you want to live the sake of your goals now instead of forty years later in retirement, mix those values in now and watch your way of life rise as it bakes. Forty years later, you’ll have lived what could be considered multiple lives—a polymathic lifestyle. Mix your values into your daily living and find your voice, today.”

“Become. Showing up as "I want to be" is a totally different life (lifestyle, feeling, experience) than "I am"—two totally different lives. “I want” vs “I am” is a choice, not a destination. Become it before you become it. When you know who you want to be, you’ll know what to do.”

“The traditional ladder climb keeps people from asking questions and reaching for dreams outside their limited experience. Ladder climbers shy away from looking for answers outside their laddered experience for fear of being wrong. Instead, keep asking questions. Be curious.”

“Recognize fear for what it is and allow your Final Cause (your compelling vision) for what you're doing be bigger than the fear itself. A mama bear will face anything to protect her cubs.”

“Ever 'habiting' and never 'inhabiting' is a bad habit. …no way to live. Habits are means, not ends. Don’t allow habits to become ends unto themselves. Get beyond habits, not behind.”

“Move beyond the traditional goal, habit, and strengths-management hysteria. Goals, habits and strengths are means, not ends. Don't turn means into ends unto themselves.”
