Kirk Ellis







"Each person sees and feels exactly the way they should because of the values that they have given themselves."
“Be eager to question your own thinking and add to yourself in a positive way, because your experience with life is determined by your own thoughts.”
“In order to give love and wisdom to someone else, we first must have these qualities ourselves. We must have our own center, our own base, our own quality of being, so that we can form a stable, reliable, trusting relationship.”
“The major goal in life is to create yourself better. To accomplish this goal use your human equation as a base, as a foundation so that you can relate to everything that you do, in such a way that you can improve your relationship with life, and your quality of being.”
“Have the courage, awareness, and inspiration to be new, to grow beyond your present self, to learn a different view, to gain in wisdom and find a better self by expanding your belief system.”
“There are uncomfortable feelings such as nervousness, depression, frustration, loneliness, anxiety, and fear. These uncomfortable feelings are very valuable because they can become your teacher. When you are automatically upset our angry, that is when you can examine yourself, and learn, that you need to change yourself.”
“The major goal in life is to create yourself better. To accomplish this goal use your human equation as a base, as a foundation, so that you can relate to everything that you do, in such a way, that you can improve your relationship with life, and your quality of being.”

Your Values Times Your Beliefs Equals Your Quality of Life.
- By the way we think, we determine our behavior, our conduct, and morals
- Elevate your level of understanding life, so you will have better vision
- Observe your own thinking and keep a mental distance
- The key to success with life is to learn and use successful thinking habits
Our character, our personality, the way we talk, the way we comb our hair, the way we dress and act are determined by the way we think. And when we change our thinking, we change our behavior and conduct. We change our quality of life, our life style and the way that we feel.
Change Your Thoughts and You Change Your Life.
