MASTER LIFE DON'T LET IT MASTER YOU

MASTER LIFE DON'T LET IT MASTER YOU

Some people are successful in mastering life, while others permit life to master them.

There is a split in you that is very clear. There is part of you that knows what you should do, and a part of you that does what it feels like doing.

Don't let passion drive you, let reason hold the reins.

Once you understand these opposing forces warring within you, with this knowledge of the truth:  you no longer remain a slave.  A clear understanding of this will make you the master of your life.

Resistance is your thoughts transformed into feelings. Change the thoughts that create the resistance, and there is no more resistance.

Are you controlled by your thoughts or are you controlling your thoughts? If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self.


If you are ruled by your mind you are a king, if by your body, a slave.

SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE FOLLOW THEIR PLAN


SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE FOLLOW THEIR PLAN
You need a plan to find success.

Wanting success isn't sufficient enough to get it. You've got to ask yourself, "What are you going to do to get the things you want." 

Your problem is 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 you take will carry 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 can not get lost on a straight road.

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.

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

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.

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.

IF YOU EXPECT TO SUCCEED, YOU'LL SUCCEED

IF YOU EXPECT TO SUCCEED, YOU'LL SUCCEED

The dreams you choose to believe in come to be.

When you feel in your innermost being that you will achieve what you set out to do, you open the way for miracles.


Choose to believe something good can happen. Expecting it to happen energizes your goal and actually gives it momentum.


What you expect to happen, happens.


Life responds to your outlook.


If you want to succeed beyond your wildest expectations, you have to begin with some wild expectations.

THE TIME FOR ACTION IS TODAY

THE TIME FOR ACTION IS TODAY

You must be ready when an opportunity comes before you.
Luck is the time when your preparation and opportunity meet.

There is a tide in your affairs, which, when taken at the flood, will lead you on to fortune and success. 


By the law of periodical repetition, everything which has happened once must happen again and again and again, not capriciously, but at regular periods, and each thing in it's own period, and each obeying its own law. 


As events tend to repeat themselves, the tide of opportunity will come to you.

Be prepared and your chance for success is sure to come.  Seize an opportunity to change your life.  You can change chance into good fortune if you are ready.


Look around you. The only sure thing about your luck is that it will change.

LIFE IN ABUNDANCE COMES ONLY THROUGH GREAT LOVE

LIFE IN ABUNDANCE COMES ONLY THROUGH GREAT LOVE

There is no force more potent than love.  Take away love and your world is a tomb.

Your life echoes emptiness without love.  With it, your life will vibrate with warmth and meaning. Even during hardship, love will shine through.


As you look back upon the events in your life you will find that the moments that stand out, the moments when you have really lived, are the moments when you have done things in a spirit of love.


If you have it, you don't need to have anything else, and if you don't have it, it doesn't matter what else you have.


Therefore, search for love.  Once you have learned to love, you will have learned to live.


Love is the most important ingredient to your success.


Happy Valentine's Day

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.

YOU MAKE YOUR OWN OPPORTUNITIES

YOU MAKE YOUR OWN OPPORTUNITIES

Your destiny isn't a matter of chance,  it's a matter of choice.
It's not something you wait for, but rather something you pursue.

Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great.

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.

Act on your dreams and you can have them.

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.

NO AUTHORITY IS HIGHER THAN REALITY

NO AUTHORITY IS HIGHER THAN REALITY

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.


The sky is no less blue because the blind man does not see it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
