Chapter 12 : Identify Your Key Constraints : Eat That Frog!
"1. Identify your most important goal in life today. What is it? What one goal, if you achieved it, would have the greatest positive effect on your life? What one career accomplishment would have the greatest positive impact on your work life?
2. Determine the one constraint, internal or external, that sets the speed at which you accomplish this goal. Ask, 'Why haven't I reached it already? What is it in me that is holding me back?' Whatever your answers, take action immediately. Do something. Do anything, but get started."

Chapter 14 : Motivate Yourself into Action : Eat That Frog!
"1. Control your thoughts. Remember, you become what you think about most of the time. Be sure that you are thinking and talking about the things you want rather than the things you don't want.
2. Keep your mind positive by accepting complete responsibility for yourself and for everything that happens to you. Refuse to criticize others, complain, or blame other for anything. Resolve to make progress rather than excuses. Keep your thoughts and your energy focused forward, on what you can do right now to improve your life, and let the rest go." pg 75
