Daily Motivation - DESIRE IS THE STARTING POINT OF SUCCESS

Desire Is The Starting Point Of Success

The first thing that will contribute to reaching your goal is that you simply want to reach it badly enough. You must learn how to desire with sufficient intensity to be successful.

If you have the desire you have the power to attain success. You can really have anything you want in life if you go after it. But you have to want it.

As a drowning soul desires air, as a shipwrecked person craves fresh water, so must you feel that intense, eager, insistent, demanding, ravenous desire for your success.

Your desire for success must be so strong within you that it becomes the very breath of your life. It must be your first thought when you wake up, and your last thought when you go to bed at night.

You can have anything you want if you go after it with intensity.

Daily Motivation - STAY IN THE GAME IF YOU WANT TO WIN

STAY IN THE GAME IF YOU WANT TO WIN

The law of averages is on your side. The more you try, the greater your chance of succeeding.

Taking a risk is often your first necessary step toward success. If you don't take some risks, you won't get the chance to succeed.

While you are trying, you are winning. Never get discouraged. Every wrong attempt is another step forward.
People that make no mistakes usually don't make anything.

Make up your mind not merely to overcome a thousand obstacles, but to win in spite of a thousand defeats.
Your mistakes are stepping stones to success and your installment payments to victory.

You can't be a winner and be afraid to lose.

Daily Motivation - SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE ARE DREAMERS

SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE ARE DREAMERS


Your dreams are your visions of where you'll be after the battle, your prize at the end of your journey to success. Your goals are the steps you take to finally attain your prize.

Unless you're willing to work hard and establish some discipline in your life, all of your dreams will be pipe dreams, little mental fantasy trips that will never materialize.

Make concrete steps toward fulfilling your ultimate dream,
and start with solid objectives called goals. Your dreams are where you want to go, your goals are how you get there.

The first indispensable step to getting the things you want out of life is this. Decide what you want.

Don't be afraid to think big and dare to be great. Dreamers are not content with mediocrity. They never dream of going half way.

People with goals succeed because they know where they're going.

Daily Motivation - YOU ARE YOUR ENVIRONMENT

YOU ARE YOUR ENVIRONMENT

Always be mindful that you're a product of your environment.

So choose an environment that will best develop you toward your objective.

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

The first step toward getting somewhere is to decide that you're not going to stay where you are. You're not a captive of your environment.

If you don't like where you are, you can make some changes. You're not planted permanently in the ground like a tree. Don't say, "You would, if you could," start saying, "You will, because you can."

When you become a part of anything it becomes a part of you.

Daily Motivation - YOUR ASPIRATIONS ARE YOUR POSSIBILITIES

Your Aspirations Are Your Possibilities

The first ingredient of your success is to dream a great dream.

You must dream big and think big to be big. High expectation always precedes high achievement.

You're as small as your controlling desires, or as great as your dominant aspirations.

Once your mind stretches to a new idea it will never go back to its original dimensions. If you dream of little goals you can expect little achievement.

Dream of big goals and you'll win big success.

LOVE IN A PAPER BAG

Love In A Paper Bag
Author Unknown

It was Molly's job to hand her father his brown paper lunch bag each morning before he headed off to work. One morning, in addition to his usual lunch bag, Molly handed him a second paper bag. This one was worn and held together with duct tape, staples, and paper clips. 




"Why two bags?" her father asked. 




"The other is something else," Molly answered. 




"What's in it?" 




"Just some stuff. Take it with you." 




Not wanting to hold court over the matter, he stuffed both sacks into his briefcase, kissed Molly and rushed off. At midday, while hurriedly scarfing down his real lunch, he tore open Molly's bag and shook out the contents: two hair ribbons, three small stones, 
a plastic dinosaur, a pencil stub, a tiny sea shell, two animal crackers, a marble, a used lipstick, a small doll, two chocolate kisses, and 13 pennies. 




The busy father smiled, finished eating, and swept the desk clean into the wastebasket- leftover lunch, Molly's junk and all. 




That evening, Molly ran up behind him as he read the paper. 




"Where's my bag?" 




"What bag?" 




"You know, the one I gave you this morning." 




"I left it at the office. Why?" 




"I forgot to put this note in it," she said. "And, besides, those are my things in the sack, Daddy, the ones I really like - I thought you might like to play with them, but now I want them back. You didn't lose the bag, did you, Daddy?" 




"Oh, no," he said, lying. "I just forgot to bring it home. I'll bring it tomorrow." 




While Molly hugged her father's neck, he unfolded the note that had not made it into the sack: "I love you, Daddy." 




Molly had given him her treasures. All that a 7-year-old held dear. Love in a paper bag, and he missed it - not only missed it, but had thrown it in the wastebasket. So back he went to the office. Just ahead of the night janitor, he picked up the wastebasket and poured the contents on his desk. 




After washing the mustard off the dinosaurs and spraying the whole thing with breath-freshener to kill the smell of onions, he carefully smoothed out the wadded ball of brown paper, put the treasures inside and carried it home gingerly, like an injured kitten. The bag didn't look so good, but the stuff was all there and that's what counted. 




After dinner, he asked Molly to tell him about the stuff in the sack. It took a long time to tell. Everything had a story or a memory or was attached to dreams and imaginary friends. Fairies had brought some of the things. 




He'd given her the chocolate kisses; she'd kept them for when she needed them. "Sometimes I think of all the times in this sweet life," he mused, "when I must have missed the affection I was being given. A friend calls this 'standing knee deep in the river and dying of thirst." 




We should all remember that it's not the destination that counts in life, but the JOURNEY. That journey with the people we love is all that really matters. Such a simple truth so easily forgotten.

Daily Motivation - IN THE MIDDLE OF DIFFICULTY LIES OPPORTUNITY

In The Middle Of Difficulty Lies Opportunity

You can not have success without dealing with problems.

Look for your opportunity in every difficulty instead of being paralyzed at the thought of difficulty in every opportunity.

Each new experience brings with it the seed of your success. Even your current difficulties have within them opportunity.

Welcome your problems as opportunities. Each moment is your greatest challenge and the best thing that ever happened to you.

The more difficult your problem, the greater the challenge in working it out.

When it's dark enough, you can see the stars.

Daily Motivation - HAPPINESS IS A BYPRODUCT OF ACTIVITY

Happiness Is A Byproduct Of Activity

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement, in 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. but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes 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.

A set definitive objective must be established if you are to accomplish anything in a big way.

Daily Motivation - SUCCESS IS CLOSER THAN YOU THINK

SUCCESS IS CLOSER THAN YOU THINK

Every situation, properly perceived, becomes an opportunity. But you have to act on them if you're going to be successful.

Distant pastures always look greener than those close at hand, but real opportunities are right where you are.

You must simply take advantage of them when they appear. You can start where you are at any time.

Success is all around you. It's not in your environment,
it's not in luck or chance, or in the help of others.
Success is in yourself alone.

You don't need more strength or more ability or greater opportunity. What you need is to use what you have.
Learn to seize good fortune, for it is always around you.

You must go to success, it doesn't come to you.

Open your own doors to opportunity.

Daily Motivation - IT'S POSSIBLE TO LIVE YOUR DREAMS

It's Possible To Live Your Dreams

Your mind is your mental workshop. You can build anything
you want in it.

Visualize what you want in your mind. See it, feel it, taste it, and believe in it. Make your mental blueprint and then begin build.

First, think about what you want out of life. The beginning always takes place in your imagination.

Then organize your thoughts into definitive plans.

Next, it's time to transform your thoughts into reality by taking some positive action.

Visualize, then actualize your success.

Daily Motivation - THE COURAGE TO BEGIN

The Courage To Begin

The courage to begin separates dreamers from achievers.

Your difficulty and the difficulty of everyone who ever desires to achieve anything worthwhile comes in the movement.

Don't always be intending to live a new life but never find a time to begin living it.

Most people fail because they never get started. They don't go, they don't overcome inertia, they don't begin.

Begin to free yourself at once by doing all that is possible with the means you have.

As you proceed in this spirit, the way will open for you to do more. The worst you can do is not to try.

Daily Motivation - BEFORE YOU GET YOU HAVE TO GIVE

Before You Get You Have To Give

When you give to others you'll find yourself blessed.
The more you sow, the more you reap.

It's a universal law: You have to give before you get.
You must plant your seeds before you reap the harvest.
The law works to give you back more than you have sown.

He who obtains has little. He who scatters has much.

Nature does not give to those who will not spend.
You only get to keep what you give away.

Daily Motivation - YOUR SUCCESS IN ANY OCCUPATION...

Your Success In Any Occupation Depends On Your Enjoyment

Loving your work makes the difference.

If you enjoy what you do, you'll be successful.
If you don't enjoy what you do, you won't be successful.

Your chances for success are directly proportional
to the degree of pleasure you derive from what you do.

If you have a job you hate, face the fact squarely and get out. You'll never achieve real success unless you like what you are doing.

Success in its highest and noblest form calls for peace of mind, enjoyment, and happiness which comes only when you find the work that you like best.

You don't pay the price for success. You enjoy the price for success.

Work is love made visible.

Daily Motivation - THERE IS ALWAYS A GOOD SIDE

There Is Always A Good Side


Be an optimist and try to see the opportunity in every misfortune,
not a pessimist that sees misfortune in every opportunity.
The optimist sees the doughnut, the pessimist sees the hole.

You can develop success from every failure.
Discouragement and failure are two stepping stones to success.

No other elements can do so much for you if you're willing to study them and make them work for you.

View every problem as an opportunity.
When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.

Daily Motivation - IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED...

If At First You Don't Succeed, Try, Try Again

You're not finished when you're defeated,
you're only finished when you quit.

The most important quality essential to success is perseverance.

It overcomes almost everything, even nature.

Winning isn't everything, but wanting to is.

Success is connected with continuous action. It's largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.

You can have a fresh start any time you choose,
for your "failure" is not in the falling down, but in the staying down.

It's not over until it's over.

If you've got the courage to stick it out, you can win.

Daily Motivation - CONQUER YOUR FEAR WITH ACTION

Conquer Your Fear With Action

Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.

When you dare to face the things that scare you; you open the door to freedom.

Most of your obstacles will melt away if instead of cowering before them or procrastinating about dealing with them you make up your mind to walk boldly through them.

Don't be afraid to take the step you need to take to make positive changes in your life.

To fight fear you must act.

Waiting, putting off, or postponing only increases fear. If you understood enough, you would never be afraid.

Daily Motivation - FREEDOM MEANS RESPONSIBILITY

Freedom Means Responsibility

Freedom is the right to live as you wish.

If you wish to free yourself from enslavement, you must chose freedom and the responsibility it entails.

There is a price for every freedom, something to be given up for every liberty.

Its up to you to weigh the price you must pay for each of your freedoms. And everything you want has a price.

Freedom is the opportunity to make decisions. Its the capacity to take a hand in your own development.

Freedom is the right to choose. Its the right to create for yourself the alternatives of choice. No one is free who is not master of himself.

You are free to do whatever you would like. You need only face the consequences of your actions.

Daily Motivation - ACCEPT CHANGE WITH A SMILE

Accept Change With A Smile

Sooner or later you'll experience a crisis in your life, and how you meet it will determine your future happiness and success. Since the beginning of time, everyone has been called upon to meet such a crisis.

A closer look will show you that most "crisis situations" are opportunities to either advance or stay where you are. In fact, most changes in your life will take place out of either "inspiration" or "desperation."

Whatever comes your way, give it meaning and transform it into something of value. Your personal growth is the process of responding positively to change.

A precious stone cannot be polished without friction, nor humanity perfected without trials.

Daily Motivation - THERE IS ALWAYS ANOTHER CHOICE

There Is Always Another Choice

You don't have to buy from anyone. You don't have to work at any particular job. You don't have to participate in any given relationship. You can choose.

You alone steer the course you choose in the direction of where you want to be today, tomorrow or in any distant time to come. You hold the tiller.

You can decide to alter the course of your life at any time. No one can ever take that away from you. You can decide what you want and go after it.

It's always your next move.

Daily Motivation - WHEN YOU STOP DREAMING YOU STOP LIVING

When You Stop Dreaming You Stop Living

If you want to enlarge your life, you must first enlarge your thought of it and yourself.

Hold the image of yourself as you long to be, the image of what you long to obtain, the image of health, efficiency and success.

You can lift yourself by your thoughts. Your vision will allow you surmount the highest obstacles. High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation.

What you see is what you get.

Youll become as small as your controlling desire or as great as your dominant aspiration. The courage to follow your dreams is your first step towards destiny.

You can live your dreams.
