PURSUE YOUR DREAMS AND YOU'LL ATTAIN THEM


PURSUE YOUR DREAMS AND YOU'LL ATTAIN THEM

When you're sure you're on the right road to success you don't have to plan your journey too far ahead.

Don't burden yourself with doubts and fears as to the obstacles that may bar your progress.

You don't need to know all your answers in advance. Just have a clear idea of the goal you want to reach.

You can only take one step at a time. If you can muster up the courage to begin, you'll find the courage to succeed.

It's the job you never start that always takes the longest to finish.

Eighty percent of success is in showing up.

YOUR CHOICES ARE UNLIMITED


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


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.

THE SEED OF SUCCESS LIES IN YOUR IMAGINATION


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.

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.

EVERY FAILURE IS A STEP CLOSER TO SUCCESS


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.

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 cannot get lost on a straight road.

MAKE CHANGE A POSITIVE PART OF YOUR LIFE


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.

MAKE IT YOUR LIFE RULE TO DO YOUR BEST


MAKE IT YOUR LIFE RULE TO DO YOUR BEST

It will be your constant effort to be first class in everything you attempt that will help you conquer the heights of success.

Always do more than you're supposed to do and you can have, be or do anything you want.

Do a little more than average and from that point on your progress multiplies itself out of all proportion to the effort you put in.

You can do a little more each day than you think you can.
There is always a best way of doing everything.

Find it.

To enjoy enduring success, you should travel a little in advance of the rest of the world. True success comes from being successful in little things.

Let superiority be your trademark.

ALL PERSONAL GROWTH INVOLVES CHANGE


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 grief's 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.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU REPEATEDLY DO


YOU ARE WHAT YOU REPEATEDLY DO

First you make your habits, and then your habits make you.
You become a slave to your constantly repeated acts.

What at first you chose, at last compels.

Your thoughts lead you to a purpose. Your purpose moves you to take action. Your actions form your habits.

Your habits determine your character, and your character fixes your destiny.

Your habits are either the best of servants or the worst of masters.

Once in motion, a pattern tends to stay in motion.

LEADERSHIP IS ACTION NOT POSITION


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.

WHERE THERE'S A WILL, THERE'S A WAY


WHERE THERE'S A WILL, THERE'S A WAY

You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true.

The achievement of your goal is assured the moment you commit yourself to it.

If you have the desire, you have the power to attain it.

You can have anything you want in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it.

Your dreams can come true if you pursue them.

ALWAYS BE PREPARED FOR SUCCESS


ALWAYS BE PREPARED FOR SUCCESS

There is no shortage of opportunity. Everyday you are presented  with countless chances 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 in the right place at the right time when you're prepared.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER


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.

THE FIRE OF LIFE IS DESIRE


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.

LIFE IS MADE UP OF A SERIES OF EXPERIENCES

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.

YOU GAIN STRENGTH OVER COMING OBSTACLES

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.
