Michael Arndt Self Quotations

We have the freedom to excel or inhibit our potential. You are the grand designer of your thoughts and emotions. At some level or another you are the one who chooses which thoughts to accept and which ones to ignore. That can be a very empower realization.

Who you think you are is only a thought.

Adversity challenges the masks we hide behind, revealing sides of ourselves we have not yet comfortably with the world outside. It is why we dislike adversity, because we have to face what we don't yet understand about ourselves.

The way you think either stands in your way or assists you in achieving your goals.

I like to begin every screenplay with a burst of delusional self-confidence. It tends to fade pretty quickly, but (for me, at least) there doesn't seem to be any other way to start writing a script.

Changing how you think costs you no money and it takes no special talent. It does take a commitment on your part to be different.

Every problem offers an opportunity for a solution. if you are in the right frame of mind to find it.

Failure can only exist from stagnant perceptions. Everything is a process of learning and if you learn something useful, you have success.

If you only know something one way, then you don't really know it.

Line up your thoughts up for potential, take action and success will follow.

The fluidity of thought is based on the flexibility of beliefs and the emotional boundaries surrounding them.
