More quotes by Seth
You can spend your time on stage pleasing the heckler in the back, or you can devote it to the audience that came to hear you perform.
Seth
You know something is important when you're willing to let someone else take the credit if that's what it takes to get it done.
Seth
The basic idea of karma is not punishment. Karma presents the opportunity for development to make use of opportunities that were not taken advantage of, to fill in gaps of ignorance, to enlarge understanding through experience, to do what should be done.
Seth
I'm not sure there's any number of Facebook likes that can replace a hug.
Seth
Do not place the words of ANYONE above the feelings of your own being. You can learn much from others, but the deepest knowledge must come from within yourself.
Seth
The ends do not justify the means
Seth
If you are in poor health, you can remedy it. If your personal relationships are unsatisfactory, you can change them for the better. If you are in poverty, you can find yourself surrounded by abundance... Each of you, regardless of position, status, circumstances, or physical condition, is in control or your own experience.
Seth
The magical approach is indeed the natural approach to life's experience. It is the adult version of childhood knowledge, the human version of the animals' knowledge, the conscious version of 'unconscious' comprehension.
Seth
Ordinary thinking and ordinary effort are almost never enough to generate leadership.
Seth
Sometimes we spend more time than we should defending the old thing, instead of working to take advantage of the new thing.
Seth
We've discovered that the earth isn't flat that we won't fall off its edges, and our experience as a species has changed as a result. Maybe we'll soon find out that the self isn't flat either, and that death is as real and yet as deceptive as the horizon that we don't fall out of life either.
Seth
Don’t try to change someone’s worldview is the strategy smart marketers follow. Don’t try to use facts to prove your case and to insist that people change their biases. You don’t have enough time and you don’t have enough money. Instead, identify a population with a certain worldview, frame your story in terms of that worldview and you win.
Seth
People do not buy goods and services. They buy relations, stories and magic.
Seth
The very fact that it might not work is precisely why you should and must do this.
Seth
There is no other way to change your physical reality but by changing your thoughts.
Seth
Your art is what you do when no one can tell you exactly how to do it. Your art is the act of taking personal responsibility, challenging the status quo, and changing people.
Seth
It is very important that you express your idealism actively, to what ever extent you can, for this increases your sense of worth and power.
Seth
The linchpin is an individual who can walk into chaos and create order, someone who can invent, connect, create, and make things happen. Every worthwhile institution has indispensable people who make differences like these.
Seth
The Internet is going to change marketing before it changes almost anything else, and old marketing will die in its path.
Seth
The best time to do great customer service is when a customer is upset.
