“When you value your integrity at the highest level, living alignment with your word and following through with your commitments no matter what, there are no limits to what you can create for your life. However, when you make excuses, justify doing what easiest, and choose the path of least resistance, you will live a life of mediocrity, frustration and regret. Live with integrity as if your life depended on it, because it does.” IfsThinkingDoeMatterValuesLevelsPathRegretIntegrityLimitsHighestCommitmentNo Matter WhatFollowingExcuseResistanceFrustrationJustifyMediocrityAlignmentFollow ThroughPath Of Least ResistanceThinking Differently Author:Hal Elrod
“I call worldly or earthly those whose minds and hearts are fixed on a tiny portion of this world they live in, which is our earth; who respect and love nothing beyond it: people as limited as what they call their property or their estate, which can be measured, whose acres can be counted, whose boundaries can be shown.” MenMindWellsHeartEarthValuesUniverseKnownLimitsAnd LoveSpotsFixedEstatesWell KnownWorldlyHeart And MindSmall PartsAcresCoarse Author:Jean de la Bruyere
“Euripides seems to have felt that the dignified perfection of Sophocles could be challenged only by novelty and irresponsibility. The religious conditions of the Dionysian festival kept him within certain bounds. But within the imposed limits Euripides was as profane as he dared to be, making melodrama of the divine realities which his predecessors accepted religiously, using the stage merely as a convenience for popularizing his own eccentric values.” RealitySeemsCertainValuesFeltReligiousConditionsStageDivineLimitsPerfectionBoundsAcceptedFestivalsNoveltyConvenienceEccentricPredecessorsProfaneMelodramaIrresponsibility Author:Laura Riding
“Every decision in your life is controlled by your beliefs and values. You may not realize it, but you have the power to choose what you believe about your life, people, money and health. You can either choose beliefs that limit you, or beliefs that empower you to move toward success. Your beliefs energize you to create the world you want to live in right now. The key is to be aware of them because what you value determines what you focus on.” PeopleWorldWantBelieveMayMovingLife IsValuesBeliefRealizingDecisionFocusKeysRight NowLimitsDetermineEmpoweringControlledBeliefs And Values Author:Tony Robbins

“It is one of the paradoxes of parenting, and often a painful paradox, that even as our children need us for love and trust, they also need us for honest differing. It's not only over limits and rules...[but also] about what we represent in the way of culture, traditions, and values. We owe it to our children to let them know what we believe, and if they differ with us, we owe it to them to be honest adversaries, for it is through this honest confrontation that children can grow into adults who have a firm sense of their place in the sequence of the generations.” IfsKnowsWayNeedsBelieveChildrenValuesCultureGrowsGenerationsHonestLimitsAdultsTraditionOur ChildrenPainfulBeing HonestFirmParadoxSequenceAdversariesConfrontationLove And Trust Author:Fred Rogers

“Determination and persistence are melded together. Their basis comes from people who stay hungry and don`t allow themselves to get too comfortable. Entering a comfort zone is the fastest way to kill your drive and determination, at which point you begin to accept whatever you have as being "good enough."

There are tremendous emotional and psychological rewards that come with pushing yourself to break through past limits and, in the process, creating something of value for yourself and others.” PeopleWaySelfEnoughTogetherPastValuesProcessAcceptingBreakSelf EsteemEmotionalComfortLimitsComfortableCreatingDeterminationBasesRewardsBe GoodHungryEsteemPsychologicalPersistenceZonePushingGood EnoughComfort ZoneEnteringStatus QuoBreak ThroughPush YourselfCreating SomethingDetermination And PersistenceDrive And DeterminationBeing Good Enough Author:Tony Robbins

“Once a man recognizes himself as a being surrounded by other beings in this world and begins to respect his life and take it to the highest value, he becomes a thinking being. Then he values other lives and experiences them as part of his own life. With that, his goal is to help everyone take their life to the highest value; anything which limits or destroys a life is evil. That is morality.

“On one hand the eternal attraction of man towards femininity (cf.

On the other hand, "lust" limits this gamut, obscuring the pyramid of values that marks the perennial attraction of male and female.” MenShouldHandsSpiritualDesireValuesLimitsEternalFemaleMarkMalesAttractionLustAnalysisFemininityPyramidsCfs Author:Pope John Paul II
