HAPPINESS LIES IN THE JOY OF ACHIEVEMENT

HAPPINESS LIES IN THE JOY OF ACHIEVEMENT

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 GOOD SYSTEM SHORTENS THE ROAD TO A GOAL

A GOOD SYSTEM SHORTENS THE ROAD TO A 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.

YOU CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING

YOU CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING

The only thing that stands between you and what you want from life, is simply the will to pursue it and the faith to believe that it is possible.

You can have anything on earth that you want, once you mentally accept the fact that you can have it.


If you want success, begin thinking of yourself as a success.  The feeling of being successful has to come first.


If you have a deep inner conviction that you will always have all that you need, if you actually feel prosperous, it will be so.


Only your mind sets your limits.

EACH FAILURE IS A STEP CLOSER TO SUCCESS

EACH 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.

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.

REMAIN IN THE GAME IF YOU WANT TO WIN

REMAIN IN THE GAME IF YOU WANT TO WIN

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

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.

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.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK

YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK

It's a psychological law that whatever you desire to accomplish you must first impress upon your subconscious mind.

Your inner thoughts can cause you to be rich or poor, loved or unloved, happy or unhappy, attractive or unattractive, powerful or weak.


What you impress upon your mind, you'll inevitably become.  Relentless, repetitive self talk will change your self image.


You'll affect your subconscious mind with verbal repetition.


Constant repetition carries conviction. When you change your values you'll change your behavior.


Start thinking of yourself as becoming the person you want to be.  Self suggestion will make you the master of yourself.


You can become whatever you want to be. When you believe you can, you can.

YOUR SUCCESS IS CLOSER THAN YOU THINK

YOUR 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.

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET

The realities of life result from many outside factors, none of which you can control.  Your attitude, however, reflects the way in which you evaluate what's happening to you.


It is not your situation, it's your reaction to the situation that's important.  Things always seem to turn out best for those people who can make the best out of the way things turn out.


Life at any time can become difficult.  Life at any time can become easy. It all depends upon how you adjust yourself to life.


You cannot always control your circumstances.  But you can always think positive thoughts.


There is nothing either good or bad, only your thinking makes it so.

IF YOU HAVE THE COURAGE TO MAKE IT, YOU WILL

IF YOU HAVE THE COURAGE TO MAKE IT, YOU WILL

Success is a road paved with perseverance.  The odds are with you if you keep trying.

There is no failure except in not trying.  You cannot be beaten at anything, until you quit in your own mind.  There is no defeat except from within.

You have no really insurmountable barrier except your own inherent weakness of purpose.

Consider yourself on a very long journey.  Sustain your personal vision of success.  In the end, you can only fail if you do not try.

Winning isn't everything, but wanting to is.
