Toni Sorenson / quote

02Undated

Our lives reflect our inner image. If we think we’re worth it, that worth will manifest in our lives. If we think we’re not worthy, we’ll live in lack. Believe your worth it and you will become worth it.

Dreams are blueprints and what good are blueprints until a carpenter goes to work? Dream big, and bold and brazen, but then get off your butt and do the work to realize your own dreams.

I challenge you to destroy whatever roadblock is keeping you from moving forward. Destroy it with your physical body if you must, but first, destroy it with a power greater than a nuclear bomb—the power of your mind. Think it gone and it will go.

08Undated

Go for broke, my friends. Straighten your spine when you step to the podium. Trust your own tongue. Believe that your weary legs will hold you until you reach the finish line. And reach it you will if you give it your all. Fall if you must, crawl if you must, but don’t you dare give up or give in until you’ve made it to the end. For at the end is where your great reward will be to begin anew. A new chance. A new life. A new you.

Toni Sorenson / quote

Don't ever let your day end in "could haves" and "should haves." Life is meant to be one experience after another. Say yes to everything that is good for you.

10Undated

The greatest tragedy in your life will not be the death of a loved one or a natural disaster; those things hurt like hell and devastate to the core. But loss like that is part of life. What’s not necessary and is therefore most tragic is the demise of your truest identity, your dying before you’re dead, the moments when you let the words and judgments of others define who you are instead of rising above that pain to be the person you were meant to be. No matter what has happened in your past, you are still capable of becoming a better version of who you are at this moment. Think right. Believe the voice inside of you that speaks the truth. You are a divine marvel. Act like it. Live like it.

It's not just the thought we think that matter; it's how we think them, how long we think them, and how often we think them. A thought has to be thought again and again in order for it to embed in our brains. So to fade a thought or get rid of it altogether, stop thinking it.

Toni Sorenson / quote

The origin of the word fail means to stop functioning. So as long as you haven't stopped, you haven't failed.

Success demands a price that only a few are willing to pay ... blood, flesh, time, money, pride, heartbreak and energy. Anyone who has ever succeeded has the battle scars to prove the sacrifices they've made.

Toni Sorenson / quote

15Undated

New thinking doesn't mean shuffling your old thoughts around; it means getting rid of the old and implementing the new. That way your, "I can't" become "I can!" and "I did!

Toni Sorenson / quote

16Undated

Once you learn how to straighten out your thinking, your life straightens out. Problems that were too complicated to deal with have solutions. There's peace where there was chaos because there's power where there was weakness. A strong life begins with a strong thought. A healthy life begins in a clean brain.

Toni Sorenson / quote

You can't have a great life unless you move two things: your body AND your mind. Keep them both exercised by taking them places they've never before been.

Friends hurt friends. They don’t mean to, but it happens. So friendship is made of forgiveness as much as it is love.

Toni Sorenson / quote

Why have you been my friend when I didn’t deserve friendship?” “Because friendship isn’t something anyone deserves…it’s just one of those blessings of life, you can’t earn…love has no price tag.
