  • "When you believe you cannot read or learn and you then discover that you can, it awakens an insatiable appetite for knowledge." — Dr. John Demartini
  • "Fill your day with high priority actions that inspire you." — Dr. John Demartini
  • "When I told him I didn't know how to read and didn't know how to speak properly, he told me to say ‘I'm a genius and I apply my wisdom.’ He made me say that over and over again until that became a belief system that I could develop." — Dr. John Demartini

  • "Do you have a determination to do something that's deeply meaningful, that you're inspired by, that you're willing to do whatever it takes to get?" — Dr. John Demartini
  • "I went to my room and I got a dictionary out and I started memorizing 30 words a day with the help of my mom and grew my vocabulary 20,000 words in two years. I went from the bottom of the class failing, to doing really well in the class at the top." — Dr. John Demartini
  • "Take command of your life. Live by design, or you're going to live by duty." — Dr. John Demartini
