FOCUS ON YOUR FUTURE NOT YOUR PAST
Your future is a big adventure.
Prepare for your future don't live in the past.
Savor your good memories,
use any bad ones as lessons in life.
Carve out a niche for yourself in your imagined future.
Think, feel and see yourself as successful.
To achieve any goal in life, you need to project your end result.
Think of the elation, the satisfaction, the joy you'll feel.
Carry these ecstatic feelings with you every day
and they'll bring your desired goals into view.
Sooner or later, you can win if you think you can.
The cards you are dealt in life
are less important than the way you play them.
Everyday you're offered a new deal and new cards.
Success is in your future if you're willing to work for it.
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.
TAKING A RISK IS OFTEN YOUR FIRST 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.
The law of averages is on your side.
The more you try, the greater your chance of succeeding.
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.
IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCEED, 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.
NEVER SAY NEVER
There is no such thing as no chance.
Don't think about the things you can't do.
Think about the things you can do.
No matter what the level of your ability is,
you have more potential than you can ever develop in a lifetime.
You have powers you never dreamed of.
You can do things you never thought you could do.
There are no limitations to what you can do
except the limitations of your own mind.
Your range of available choices right now is limitless.
Look at things as they can be.
ALL PERSONAL GROWTH INVOLVES CHANGE
Personal growth is the process of responding positively to change.
It involves risk as you step from the known to the unknown.
All your growth will depend on your activity.
Your strength and growth will come only through continuous
effort and struggle.
There will be no development without effort.
Trouble is the common denominator of living.
It is the great equalizer of life.
Your trials, your sorrows and your griefs will develop you.
When good or bad fortune comes your way,
you must give it meaning and transform it into something of value.
What happens to you is not as important
as your reaction to what is happening.
MAKE CHANGE A POSITIVE PART OF YOUR 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.
LEADERSHIP IS ACTION NOT POSITION
All successful people became successful,
because they gave some talent or ability in the service of others.
You can contribute in some way to others,
no matter how small your talent.
You too, can become successful.
No one achieves success without being of service.
Successful people don't use others,
other people use the successful,
for above all success is of service.
Everyone has to be someone to someone to be anyone.
Service is the essence of success.
YOU DO NOT EXIST FOR YOURSELF
Your success depends on the support of other people.
The only hurdle between you and what you want to be,
is the support of others.
Put yourself in another's place,
and you'll know why they think and do certain things.
You can succeed fastest by helping others to succeed.
Always think in terms of what the other person wants.
You'll get everything in life that you want
if you'll help enough other people get what they want.
Doing things for others always pays dividends.
You're not an isolated island.
You're a piece of the planet, a piece of the universe.
Personal relationships are the fertile soil from which all advancement,
all success, all achievement in real life grows.
When you help someone's boat across a river,
you'll find your own boat has reached the shore too.
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.
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.
SUCCESS DEPENDS ON USING NOT OPPOSING
The world is primarily constituted on the basis of harmony.
Everything works in cooperation with something else.
Personal relationships are the fertile soil
from which all advancement, all success,
all achievement in real life grows.
Put yourself in another's place.
Only then will you know why they think and do certain things.
Once you understand how quickly people will grant your requests
when those requests appeal to their self interest,
you can have practically anything you go after.
It's through cooperation not conflict,
that you'll achieve your greatest success.
YOU CAN GO ANYWHERE 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.
ALL KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
You build the power to accomplish your goals
when you educate yourself.
This power comes from knowing how to do something.
Power is the product of understanding.
The most successful people in life are the one's 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 by having your eyes and mind always open.
There is no knowledge that is not power.
In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king.
YOU MAKE YOUR OWN OPPORTUNITIES
Your destiny isn't a matter of chance, it's a matter of the choices
you'll make in the coming year.
Success isn't something you wait for, it's something you must pursue
in the months ahead.
Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities to be successful.
Seize common occasions and turn them into great ones.
Opportunities sometimes come disguised in the form of misfortune,
or temporary defeat.
Start where you are.
You're at this moment, standing right in the middle of opportunity.
If you act on your dreams you can live them.
You have a lot to look forward to.
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.
FEAR IS OVERCOME WITH ACTION
One of the greatest surprises you'll experience,
is when you discover that you can do
what you were afraid you couldn't do.
Your obstacles will melt away,
if instead of cowering before them,
you make up your mind to walk boldly through them.
Do the thing you fear and fear disappears.
Confront your fears, list them, get to know them
and only then will you be able to put them aside
and move ahead.
When you face the things that scare you,
you open the door to freedom.
The only thing you have to fear, is fear itself.
IT'S NEVER OVER UNTIL YOU SAY IT'S OVER
The power to hold on in spite of everything, to endure,
this is the quality of a winner.
Your greatest glory is not in never failing,
but in rising every time you fail.
It's your constant and determined effort
that will eventually break down all resistance
and sweep all the barriers before you.
Persistence means taking pains to overcome every obstacle,
to do all that's necessary to reach your goal.
All great achievements require time.
Endurance is the crowning quality of success.
SUCCESS IS CONNECTED TO CONTINUOUS ACTION
It's largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.
You're not finished when you're defeated,
you're only finished when you quit.

for "failure" is not in the falling down, but in the staying down.

Winning isn't everything.
Wanting to win is everything.

YOU HAVE THE POWER TO LIVE YOUR DREAMS.
The day you take complete responsibility for yourself,
the day you stop making any excuses,
that's the day you start moving down the road to success.
No one else can do it for you.
Only you can make it happen.
You're the only one that has to live your life.
