Quotes by Shad Helmstetter, Ph.D.

Quote
Always remember that some of the greatest minds, some of the greatest achievers which this earth has ever known, achieved their greatness with only three overriding attributes: spirit, conviction, and hard work.
Shad Helmstetter, Ph.D.
Quote
Remember, the subconscious mind is listening and waiting for our instructions, and it doesn’t care what we tell it; it just does it!
Shad Helmstetter, Ph.D.
Quote
Self-Talk gives each of us a way to change what we would like to change, even if we haven’t been able to do so in the past. It offers us a chance to stop being the old self and start to become a different, better self, a self which is no longer the product of conditioned response, but governed instead by personal choice.
Shad Helmstetter, Ph.D.
Quote
It is one thing to learn about something; it is quite another thing to put something that is learned into practice.

Quote
It’s a healthy idea to stop now and then and ask yourself the question, ‘Who’s in control here?’ Once aware of how programming works and where it comes from, who do you suppose is responsible for what is programmed into your own mind? You are, of course.
Shad Helmstetter, Ph.D.
Quote
You can do so much. You can, if you choose, break through the wall that stands between you and anything you would like to change or achieve. Give yourself the will to do it. Give yourself the belief, the attitude, the emotion, and the action that will get you where you want to be.
