Daily Motivation - LIVE AND ACT IN A SPIRIT OF LOVE

LIVE AND ACT IN A SPIRIT OF LOVE

The place to begin to improve the world
is in your own heart, head and hands.
To get along with others, love them
without forcing your love upon them.

Imposing your beliefs on people
will not bring you peace.
Have concern for others,
respect their rights and freedoms,
and let them be themselves.

Do this and you will enjoy peace.
Having consideration for others
is the basis of a good life.
Most people are not against you,
they are merely for themselves.


Let differing ideas clash,
but not those of the heart.
Peace comes to you when you
live and act in a spirit of love.

Daily Motivation - HAPPINESS IS A BYPRODUCT OF ACTIVITY

HAPPINESS IS A BYPRODUCT OF ACTIVITY

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement,
the thrill of creative effort.
The human spirit needs to accomplish,
to achieve, to triumph to be happy.

Happiness does not come from doing easy work.
It comes from the afterglow of satisfaction after
the achievement of a difficult task that demands
your best.

Your personal growth itself contains the seed of happiness.
You cannot pursue happiness by itself.

There is no happiness except in the realization that you
have accomplished something.

Happiness thrives in activity.
It's a running river, not a stagnant pond.

Daily Motivation - THE HIGHEST OF DISCTINCTIONS IS SERVICE TO OTHERS

THE HIGHEST OF DISTINCTIONS IS SERVICE TO OTHERS

The truly successful person doesn't use others,
other people use the successful person.

you too can become successful.
The measure of anyone is the number of people that they serve.

Service to others is the essence of success.
No one achieves success without being of service.
All great men and women became successful because they gave
some talent or ability in the service of others.

Everybody has to be somebody to somebody to be anybody.

Daily Motivation - YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO LIVE YOUR DREAMS

YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO LIVE YOUR DREAMS

You always have enough time, if you will but use it wisely.

Your dilemma goes deeper than having a shortage of time,
it's basically a problem of priorities.

Most people leave undone those things that should be done,
while they do things that they shouldn't be doing.

Set priorities for your goals.
A major part of successful living lies in your ability to put
first things first.
Most major goals are not achieved because people put
second things first.

Is what your doing getting you closer to your objectives?
Anything that is wasted effort represents wasted time.

Don't serve time, make time serve you.

Daily Motivation - ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING

You determine your attitude.
You can respond positively or negatively to any situation.
Your attitude is not determined by circumstances,
but by how you respond to your circumstances.

Any challenge facing you is not as important as your attitude towards it,
for that will determine your success or failure.

It's how you react to events, not the events themselves,
that determines your attitude.

It's where all the food that goes into your mind comes from.


Choose your environment with care, one that is positive,
one that lifts you up and gives you wings to soar.

Daily Motivation - SUCCESS IS A CHOICE YOU MAKE

SUCCESS IS A CHOICE YOU MAKE

You alone have the responsibility to shape your life.
Once you understand this, nothing and no one can deny you success.
There's no one to stop you but yourself.

More powerful than all the success slogans ever written
is the realization that everyone has but one boss.
That boss is you.

Your life will always be to a large extent what you make of it.
No one can cheat you out of ultimate success but you.

Success or failure?
It's always your choice.

Daily Motivation - EVERY WINNER HAS SCARS

EVERY WINNER HAS SCARS.

Life is made up of a series of experiences.
Each one will make you stronger, even though it may be hard for you to realize it at the time.

Life is your classroom in which you're being tested, tried, and passed.
Always try to stay in the midst of life and activity. Don't isolate yourself from the action.
Your character develops itself in the stream of life.

The setbacks and hardships you endure actually help you in your march forward to success. The world was built to develop your character.

Life expects you to make progress in reasonable time. That's why those elementary school chairs are so small.

Your purpose moves you to take action.

Daily Motivation - THE FACTS ALWAYS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES

THE FACTS ALWAYS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES

The truth isn't a matter of your personal viewpoint.
Learn to see things as they really are, not as you imagine they are.

Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or who says it.
No matter what you believe, it never changes the facts.
If they are there, the facts always speak for themselves.

The truth does not change because it is, or is not,
believed by a majority of people.
If sixty million people say a foolish thing, it's still a foolish thing.


No authority is higher than reality.
The sky is no less blue because the blind man doesn't see it.

Daily Motivation - HONESTY OPENS THE DOOR TO SUCCESS

HONESTY OPENS THE DOOR TO SUCCESS

Successful people have cultivated the habit of never denying to themselves
their true feelings and attitudes. They have no need for pretenses.

Once you accept yourself completely you don't have to maintain a phony front,
or feel insecure if people don't tune in to you and what you're doing.

Visualize what you really want, not what someone else wants for you.
Don't forfeit three-forth's of yourself to be like other people.

First say to yourself what you would be and then do what you have to do.

Develop a tendency toward action.
You can make something happen today.
Break your big plan for success into small steps and take the first step right away.

Success starts with a first step.

Daily Motivation - YOU CAN OPEN ANY DOOR WITH CONCENTRATION

YOU CAN OPEN ANY DOOR WITH CONCENTRATION

The first law of success is concentration.
Bend all of your energies to one point,
and go directly to that point,
looking neither to the right nor the left.

Concentration is the magic key
that opens the door to accomplishment.
In time, you can become what you earnestly desire to be,
if you set your face in the direction of the things you want
and bring all your powers to bear towards its attainment.

When your physical and mental resources are focused,
your power to solve problems multiplies tremendously.
To do two things at once is to do neither.
Success is the result of well directed energy.

Nothing can add more power to your life
as much as concentrating all your energies
on a limited set of targets.

The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus.

Daily Motivation - THERE IS NO SUCCESS WITHOUT HARDSHIP

THERE IS NO SUCCESS WITHOUT HARDSHIP

The world is so constructed that if you wish to enjoy its pleasures,
you must also endure its pains.
Like it or not, you cannot have one without the other.

Success is not measured by what you accomplish.
It's measured by the opposition you encounter,
and the courage with which you maintain your struggle against the odds.

You'll find all things are difficult before they are easy.
The greater your obstacles, the more glory in overcoming them.
So, make up your mind before you start that sacrifice is part of the package.

No pain, no gain;
No thorns, no throne;
No cross, no crown.

You've got to go through the negative before you get to the positive.

Daily Motivation - FOLLOW THE PATH OF OTHERS TO SUCCESS

FOLLOW THE PATH OF OTHERS TO SUCCESS

You can learn from other people to make up for your lack of experience in any area of life.

Be open and receptive to the people around you.
They have things to teach you.
Take advantage of the people that have made the journey ahead of you.

Try to pick the right role models.
Don't look for people that make you feel good or entertain you.
Look for people that can help you.
Role models are more than people you like and admire.

The key is to look for people that will help you to be more successful. You can learn from the mistakes of others.
You can learn different approaches to overcoming challenges.

Learning "what not to do" is as important as learning "what to do."

Daily Motivation - IT'S ALWAYS A GOOD TIME TO CHANGE

IT'S ALWAYS A GOOD TIME TO CHANGE

The first step toward getting somewhere is to decide that you're not going to stay where you are.

You're a product of your environment.
So choose an environment that will best develop you toward your goals.

Analyze your life in terms of your environment.
Are the things around you helping you toward your success or are they holding you back?

Your world today is a living expression of how you are using and have used your mind. It's something that you can change at any time.

You don't have to remain a captive of your environment.

Don't say "If I could change, I would change," say "I can change, and I will change."

Chart a Course to Your Dreams

Chart a Course to Your Dreams
By Brian Tracy

Most people start life traveling aimlessly through an
unchartered world, says goals expert Brian Tracy.

"They simply figure things out as they go along.
Often, 10 or 20 years of work will go past and they
will still be broke, unhappy in their jobs, dissatisfied
in their marriages and making little progress. And
still, they will go home every night and watch
television, wishing and hoping things will get better.
But they seldom do," Tracy says.

The key to not letting life just happen to you is to set
goals. Working toward goals will also make you
happier. "Goals fulfill the greatest need of human
beings—a sense of meaning and purpose in life,"
says Tracy.

To get yourself going, follow Tracy’s goal-setting tips:

1. Write your goals down on a set of 3-by-5 cards to
carry with you wherever you go.

2. Always thinking of the next specific action step you
can take toward your goals.

3. Review your goal list frequently.

4. Visualize your goals achieved continuously.

5. Do something every day toward your goals. The
most essential factor is persistence.

Realize you have unlimited potential, Tracy says. "You
are completely responsible for everything you are
today, for everything you think, say and do, and for
everything you become from this moment forward."

Daily Motivation - LET SUPERIORITY BE YOUR TRADEMARK

LET SUPERIORITY BE YOUR TRADEMARK

It will be your constant effort to be first class in everything you attempt
that will help you conquer the heights of success.

Always do more than you're supposed to do and you can have, be or do
anything you want.

Do a little more than average and from that point on your progress multiplies
itself out of all proportion to the effort you put in.

You can do a little more each day than you think you can.
There is always a best way of doing everything.

Find it.

To enjoy enduring success, you should travel a little in advance
of the rest of the world.
True success comes from being successful in little things.

Make it your life rule to do your best.

Daily Motivation - YOUR IMAGINATION CAN FORETELL YOUR FUTURE

YOUR IMAGINATION CAN FORETELL YOUR FUTURE

See things as you would have them be instead of as they are.
Visualize your goals and your subconscious will go to work
toward making your mental pictures come true.

You have been given the capacity and the power to create
desirable pictures inside your mind and to find them
automatically printed in the outer world of your environment.

Picture yourself as winning,
and that alone will contribute
immeasurably to your success.

What you see in your mind you can really have.
