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.

Without goals there is no is no achievement.
A set definitive objective must be established if you are to accomplish anything in a big way.
The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this. Decide what you want. The world will turn aside and let you pass if you know where you are going.
Goals give you a starting place and a destination. Determine what you want. Decide on your major objections, targets, and destination.

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.

DON'T BELIEVE IN MIRACLES, DEPEND ON THEM
DON'T BELIEVE IN MIRACLES, DEPEND ON THEM
You don't need an explanation for everything.
Recognize that there are such things as miracles, events for which there are no explanations. Later, knowledge may explain those events away.
The fact that you plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's, smile at someone and receive a smile in return are common miracles.
Your duty to yourself is to believe that for which you have sufficient evidence, and to suspend your judgement when you have not.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Some things have to be believed to be seen.
Vision is the art of seeing invisible things.

Have you found your Acres of Diamonds yet?
Courtesy of Insight of the Day
Acres of Diamonds
One of the most interesting Americans who lived in the 19th century was a man by the name of Russell Herman Conwell. He was born in 1843 and lived until 1925. He was a lawyer for about fifteen years until he became a clergyman.
One day, a young man went to him and told him he wanted a college education but couldn't swing it financially. Dr. Conwell decided, at that moment, what his aim in life was, besides being a man of the cloth - that is. He decided to build a university for unfortunate, but deserving, students. He did have a challenge however. He would need a few million dollars to build the university. For Dr. Conwell, and anyone with real purpose in life, nothing could stand in the way of his goal.
Several years before this incident, Dr. Conwell was tremendously intrigued by a true story - with its ageless moral. The story was about a farmer who lived in Africa and through a visitor became tremendously excited about looking for diamonds. Diamonds were already discovered in abundance on the African continent and this farmer got so excited about the idea of millions of dollars worth of diamonds that he sold his farm to head out to the diamond line. He wandered all over the continent, as the years slipped by, constantly searching for diamonds, wealth, which he never found. Eventually he went completely broke and threw himself into a river and drowned.
Meanwhile, the new owner of his farm picked up an unusual looking rock about the size of a country egg and put it on his mantle as a sort of curiosity. A visitor stopped by and in viewing the rock practically went into terminal convulsions. He told the new owner of the farm that the funny looking rock on his mantle was about the biggest diamond that had ever been found. The new owner of the farm said, "Heck, the whole farm is covered with them" - and sure enough it was.
The farm turned out to be the Kimberly Diamond Mine...the richest the world has ever known. The original farmer was literally standing on "Acres of Diamonds" until he sold his farm.
Dr. Conwell learned from the story of the farmer and continued to teach it's moral. Each of us is right in the middle of our own "Acre of Diamonds", if only we would realize it and develop the ground we are standing on before charging off in search of greener pastures. Dr. Conwell told this story many times and attracted enormous audiences. He told the story long enough to have raised the money to start the college for underprivileged deserving students. In fact, he raised nearly six million dollars and the university he founded, Temple University in Philadelphia, has at least ten degree-granting colleges and six other schools.
When Doctor Russell H. Conwell talked about each of us being right on our own "Acre of Diamonds", he meant it. This story does not get old...it will be true forever.
Opportunity does not just come along - it is there all the time - we just have to see it.

QUALITY OF LIFE BEGINS IN YOUR MIND
QUALITY OF LIFE BEGINS IN YOUR MIND
It's not what you have, but what you enjoy that constitutes your abundance. Your real riches are riches in your head and heart.
Wealth without enjoyment is little consolation. True satisfaction comes from appreciating what you have.
There are two ways of being happy: you must either diminish your wants or augment your means. It's always better to appreciate things you cannot have than to have the things you cannot appreciate.
Your riches will always lie within you, not in your material possessions.

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 paralyzedat 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.

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.

PERSONAL GROWTH IS INEVITABLE
PERSONAL GROWTH IS INEVITABLE
You'll experience personal growth on the road to success.
All growth means change and change involves risk.
You grow because you struggle, learn and overcome your obstacles.
What happens to you is not as important as how you react to what happens. Everything you'll experience "good or bad" has value.
Difficulties in life are the things that show you what you are.
Trouble is the common denominator of living. It's the great
equalizer of life.
Only when you are no longer afraid will you begin to live.

YOUR SUCCESS IN ANY OCCUPATION DEPENDS ON YOUR ENJOYMENT
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.

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.

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

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.

SUCCESS IS A CHOICE YOU MAKE
Success or failure? It's always your choice. You alone have the responsibility to shape your life.
Once you understand this, nothing and no one can deny you success. There's really 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.
If you want to be successful, you can be successful.

People who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed.
Experiencing failure is inevitable on your journey to be successful. Each defeat is merely an installment to victory.
You'll find that the number of times you succeed is in direct proportion to the number of times you fail and keep trying.
You won't be judged by the number of times you fail, but by the number of times you succeed.
Failure is nothing but education, nothing but the first step to something better.
You can't be a winner and be afraid to lose.

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.

Your greatest success and happiness in life will be found when you use your natural abilities to their fullest extent. Happiness is not having or being. It's in the doing.
The essence of true wisdom is to know that rest is rust, and that real life is activity, laughter, and love.
You were created to conquer your environment, to solve problems, and to achieve goals. You'll find no real satisfaction or happiness in life without obstacles to conquer and goals to achieve.
Yes, there is true happiness. It's found in doing a job well done, in achieving a worthy goal, in putting your child to sleep, and in writing the last line of your poem.
Your personal growth itself contains the seed of happiness.

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.
