“Each day that we live, we're taking in new information, ideas, concepts, experiences, and sensations. We need to consciously stand guard at the doors of our minds to make sure that whatever we're allowing to enter will cause our lives to be enriched, that the experiences we pursue will add to our stockpile of possibility.” NeedsMindIdeasMotivationalCausesOur LivesDoorsInformationPossibilityConceptsAddPursueEach DaySensationsAllowingNew Information Author:Tony Robbins
“The concept of individual rights is so prodigious a feat of political thinking that few men grasp it fully - and two hundred years have not been enough for other countries to understand it.

“" Science is beginning to encroach on every level of our volition". And to me, that is a frightening social concept.

“Recently, results of the Human Genome Project have shattered one of Science's fundamental core beliefs, the concept of genetic determinism. We have been led to believe that our genes determine the character of our lives, yet new research surprisingly reveals that it is the character of our lives that controls our genes. Rather than being victims of our heredity, we are actually masters of our genome.” BelieveHumansHas BeensCharacterBeliefResultsOur LivesMastersProjectsResearchConceptsVictimFundamentalsDetermineCoreGenesShatteredDeterminismHeredityGenomeCore BeliefsGenome ProjectHuman Genome Project Author:Bruce H.

“One of the main jobs of conciousness is to keep our life tied together into a coherent story, a self-concept. It does this by generating explanations of behaviors on the basis of our self image, images, memories of the past, expectations of the future, the present social situation, and the physical environment in which behavior is produced.” DoeSelfStoriesTogetherJobsPastSocialMemoriesSituationEnvironmentOur LivesBehaviorExpectationsConceptsBasesExplanationTiedSelf ConceptPast Memories Author:Joseph E.
