SUCCESS IS THE RESULT OF WELL DIRECTED ENERGY

The first rule of success, and one that supersedes all others, is to have
energy.

It's important to know how to concentrate it. Focus your energy on important
matters instead of frittering it away on meaningless things.

Nothing will add more power to your life then concentrating all your
energies on a limited set of goals.

You must focus the full power of all you are on what you have a burning
desire to achieve if you truly want to be successful.

Gather in your resources, rally all your faculties, marshal all your
energies, focus all your capacities upon attaining your objectives.

You must be single minded, and drive for the things you have decided upon.

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

YOU WIN, WHEN YOU AREN'T AFRAID TO LOSE

The difference between great and average is how often you take risks.

Accept risk as a normal part of living. View risk as a part of the process
of exploring your world. Make note of the lessons you learn with each chance
you take and move on.

Forget about the consequences of taking chances. Risk opens you to only a
temporary change in direction that can set you straight for your next
success.

If you're brave enough to risk, to temporarily live outside of your comfort
zone, for a short period of time, you're big enough to win.

MAKING CHOICES IS YOUR GREATEST POWER

At any time you can decide to alter the course of your life.
No one can ever take that away from you.

You can do what you want to do and be who you want to be.

Nature is constantly at work around you. Character and destiny are her
handiwork. She gives you love and hate, jealousy and reverence.

You have the power to choose which impulse you follow.

While your character is formed by your circumstances, your desires can shape
those circumstances. The one thing over which you have absolute control are
your own thoughts.

It is this that puts you in a position to control your own destiny.

Your greatest power is the power to choose.

CHANGE CAN BE A POSITIVE PART OF LIFE

You must avoid breaking when things don't go your way. You'll always be
secure to the degree that you accept change.

True security comes from being able to bend your insecurities.

Recognize and accept that change will inevitably take place. You'll become
secure, not by standing still, but by growing, moving, and staying
energized.

Be secure in the knowledge that you can deal with anything
that happens to you.

Have the courage to bet on your ideas. Take some calculated risks and act on
your dreams.

There is no permanent security on this earth, there is only opportunity.

YOUR CHOICES ARE UNLIMITED

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 steer the course you choose in the direction of where you want to be
today, tomorrow, or in a 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.

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 never goes back to its original
dimensions.

Think little goals and you can expect little achievement. Think big goals
and you'll win big success.

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

Friday, March 25, 2011

YOU CANNOT FAIL WITH A PLAN

Wanting success isn't sufficient enough to get it.
You have to ask yourself, "What am I going to do to get the things I want?"

Your problem is how to bridge the gap which exists between where you are now
and the goal you intend to reach.

You cannot fail with a definite step by step plan, because each step carries
you along to the next step, like a track.

All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your
destination.

You cannot get lost on a straight road.

Thursday, March 24, 2011

YOU CAN HAVE WHAT YOU DEEPLY DESIRE

You can do anything in this world you want to do, but you must want to do it
badly enough.

You really can have everything you want, if you go after it.
You have to want it.

The first and most important ingredient of success is desire. Do you know
what you want?

Your desire is the planting of your seed.

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

You can be whatever you make up your mind to be.
Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

SUCCESS IS ON YOUR HORIZON

You can start at anytime if you want to be successful. But you have to
start.

You won't accomplish anything if you wait for all the possible objections to
be overcome. Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear
most.

Don't be afraid to live. Don't wait for things to change. Don't wait until
you have more time, until you are less tired, until you get the promotion,
until you settle down, until, until, until.

Don't wait for a major event in your life to occur before you begin to live.

Begin where you are. Work where you are. The hour you are wasting now,
dreaming of some far off success, is crowded with tremendous possibilities.

When you take the first step, your mind will mobilize all its forces to
assist you. Once you have started, all that is within and around you will
come to your assistance.

The only way to start down the road to success is to start.

Tuesday, March 22, 2011

A GOOD SYSTEM SHORTENS THE ROAD TO YOUR GOAL

Your success will be determined on the drawing board. All you need is a
plan, a road map, and the courage to press on to your destination.

Somewhere there is a map of how it can be done, for at all times, it's
better to have a method.

Planning will bring your future into the present so you can do something
about it now. Find a good system and it will shorten the road to your goal.

Divide your movements into easy to do sections. If you falter or fail,
divide your movements again.

You can't get lost on a straight road.

Monday, March 21, 2011

SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE MAKE DECISIONS

To control the outcome of anything, you control the action at the point of
decision making.

If you let others make decisions for you, you give up control.
When you control the decisions, you control the actions.

It's your life. You decide what you're going to do with it.
If you don't run your own life, someone else will. You're in control of your
life to the degree that you make decisions.

Take charge of your life, so there is no longer a need to ask
permission of others. When you ask permission, you are giving someone veto
power over your life.

Take control and start making those decisions. Only you are responsible for
your life.

Sunday, March 20, 2011

DREAMS ARE FREE

The beginning of your success lies in your imagination.

Visualize all the things you want in your life. Make your mental blue print
and then begin to build.

You can make your dreams work and produce for you. Make every thought,
every fact, that comes into your mind pay you a dividend.

Your imagination will show you how to turn possibility into reality. The
will to succeed springs from the knowledge that you can succeed.

Think of things not as they are, but as they might be. Don't merely dream,
create.

You can live your dreams.

Saturday, March 19, 2011

EVERY FAILURE IS A STEP CLOSER TO SUCCESS

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.

Friday, March 18, 2011

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

The most successful people in life are the ones with the best information.
People with power are people who know how to get things done.

Knowing how to do something is sometimes virtually the same as having done
it.

Knowledge will come to you when your eyes and mind are always open. There
is no knowledge that is not power. Power is the product of understanding.

You'll build the power to accomplish your goals by educating yourself. This
power comes from knowing how to do something.

In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king.

Thursday, March 17, 2011

THE SEED OF SUCCESS LIES IN YOUR IMAGINATION

Visualize all the things that you want in life. Then make your mental blue
print, and begin to build.

Your imagination can show you how to turn your possibilities into reality.

You must make every thought, every fact, that comes into your mind pay you a
profit. Make those mental images work and produce for you.

Think of things not as they are but as you want them to be.
Don't just dream, be creative.

The will to succeed springs from the knowledge that you can succeed.

Wednesday, March 16, 2011

THE FIRE OF LIFE IS DESIRE

If you want something badly enough, you're sure to get it.

Your desires will in time externalize themselves into concrete fact.

Obstacles don't matter very much. Pain or other circumstances can be there.
But if you want to do something bad enough, you'll find a way to get it
done.

Your reality forms around your commitment to succeed.
If you're willing to pay the price, your circumstances will change.

You only have to love a thing greatly to get it.

Tuesday, March 15, 2011

THINKING BIG PRECEDES BIG ACHIEVEMENT

High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation.

You'll always hit what you aim for in the long run. So why not aim high?

Have the courage to follow your dreams. It's the first step towards
attaining your destiny.

If you can dream it, you can do it. If you don't have a dream,
how are you going to make it come true?

In order to succeed beyond your wildest expectations, you need some wild
expectations.

Monday, March 14, 2011

LOOK AT THINGS AS THEY CAN BE

Your range of available choices right now has no limits. The only limits you
have are in your mind.

You've got it in you to succeed. Just make up your mind and stick with it.

You weren't born with any limits on your powers or any set limits to your
capacity.

At any moment, you have more possibilities than you can act upon. Imagine
your possibilities and your vision expands.

Capture your dreams in your mind and your life becomes full. Reach out and
touch the limits of your being in your mind.

If you think you can, you can.

Sunday, March 13, 2011

YOU'RE ALWAYS IN CHARGE OF YOU

You're the master of your fate and the captain of your soul.

While your character is formed by circumstances, your own desires can do
much to shape those circumstances. Thus, you have the power over the
formation of your own character.

Nature is always at work around you. Your character and destiny are her
handiwork. She gives you love and hate, jealousy and reverence. You have
the power to choose which impulse you will follow.

You can at any time decide to alter the course of your life. No one can
EVER take that away from you. The greatest power you possess is the power
to choose.

You're the master of your joys and your sorrows.

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.

Friday, March 11, 2011

ALWAYS TRY TO THINK AHEAD

When you think ahead of any approaching action you'll always have the
advantage. You'll be the winner.

Keeping a little ahead of conditions is one of the secrets of business.

The time to repair your roof is when the sun is shining. Try to do things
before they need to be done.

Let your advance worrying become advance thinking and planning. Position
yourself ahead of time in the best place for you.

When you do what is necessary, all the odds are in your favor. Do the next
thing.

Thursday, March 10, 2011

YOU CAN GO ANY WHERE WITH A GOAL

A life without purpose is like a ship without a rudder. Goals are dreams
that are written down.

The purpose of a goal is to focus your attention. Your mind will reach
toward achievement only when it has a goal.

There is no achievement without goals.

Establish a goal worth working for. Your goal will keep you going in tough
times.

Always have something ahead of you. Continuously visualize your next step.
Keep moving after you achieve your goal and set another. Momentum is
maintained by always having something to look forward to. Constantly give
yourself something to work for.

Do what you can do well, and do well whatever you can do and you'll achieve
any goal that you set for yourself.

You can plant your dream with a goal.

Wednesday, March 9, 2011

ALWAYS BE PREPARED FOR SUCCESS

There is no shortage of opportunity. Everyday you're presented with
countless opportunities to be, or do whatever you desire.

Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity. Don't miss out on an
opportunity because you're not prepared.

Your preparation is absolutely essential. To achieve success, you must have
self discipline. You must increase your knowledge and develop your skills.

You're always at the right place at the right time when you're prepared.

Tuesday, March 8, 2011

YOU GAIN STRENGTH OVER COMING OBSTACLES

Sooner or later you'll encounter 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.

Close scrutiny will show you that most "crisis situations" are opportunities
to either advance or stay where you are.

Indeed, most changes in your life will be due to either "inspiration" or
"desperation."

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

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

Monday, March 7, 2011

THE GLASS IS ALWAYS HALF FULL

There is a good side to every situation.

View your problems as opportunities. You cannot have the success without the failures. Any experience can be transformed into something of value.

Everything depends on the way you look at things.

What are stumbling blocks and defeat before you can be stepping stones to victory if you remain determined.

In all of your adversities lies the seeds of equivalent advantages. In every defeat there is a lesson showing you how to win the next time.

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

Sunday, March 6, 2011

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.

But, life expects you to make progress in reasonable time. That's why those
third grade school chairs are so small.

Saturday, March 5, 2011

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.

Friday, March 4, 2011

YOU CAN RISE ABOVE REALITY

Courage is the power to face your difficulties. It comes from the reserves
of your mind that are more powerful then any of your outside circumstances.

When you recognize that you are bigger than your problems, you gain the
courage necessary to overcome anything.

Your obstacles will look large or small to you according to
whether you are large or small.

Courage is the capacity to confront what can be imagined. It gives you the
ability to rise above reality.

You are more important than any of your problems.

Thursday, March 3, 2011

YOUR HABITS WILL PUSH YOU TO SUCCESS

First you make your habits, and then your habits make you.

Break those habits that can break you. Adopt those practices that will
become the new habits that will help you achieve the success you desire.

Your habits are a form of exercise. The harder you work at something, the
harder it is to quit. The easier it is to do, the harder it is to change.

Your habits are either the best of servants or the worst of masters. You are
what you repeatedly do.

Wednesday, March 2, 2011

YOU CAN DO SOMETHING

Your life will always be to a large extent what you make of it.
The mold to your success and fortune are in your hands.

You cannot do everything, but you can do something.

You choose your thoughts and actions. Only you can find success.

Nobody can do it for you. Nobody will do it for you. You have to make it
happen.

If you take responsibility for your actions,you can live your dreams.

Tuesday, March 1, 2011

THE HIGHEST OF DISTINCTIONS IS SERVICE TO OTHERS

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

If you can contribute to others, no matter how small your talent, 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.
