UNDERSTANDING GIVES YOU POWER.
When you educate yourself, you build the power to accomplish your goals.
Power comes from knowing how to do something.
Your knowledge is power.
As a general rule 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.
Your 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.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP.
The most important quality essential to your success is perseverance.
It overcomes almost everything, even nature.
Effort only fully releases it's reward after you refuse to quit.
Perseverance, harsh and continuous rarely fails of it's purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly with time.
Your constant and determined effort will break down all resistance, and sweep away all obstacles.
Success is connected with action.
It is largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.
You can have the success you seek if you never give up trying.
In the end, the only people who fail are those that do not try.
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

HAVE THE COURAGE TO CONFRONT WHAT YOU CAN IMAGINE.
You are bigger then anything that can happen to you.
The obstacles you face are only mental barriers which can be broken by adopting a more positive approach.
Reality is something you can rise above.
You don't have to be a puppet manipulated by outside powerful forces; you can become the powerful force yourself.
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.
This is where you will win the battle, in the playhouse of your mind.
Visualize what you want.
See it, feel it, believe in it.
Make it your mental blueprint and begin to build.
See things as you would have them be instead of as they are.

SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE TAKE ACTION.
The difference between greatness and mediocrity is how often you try.
The greatest mistake you can make is to be afraid of making one.
The earlier you make those mistakes the better.
Don't be afraid to try.
No one that has ever lived has ever had enough power, prestige, or knowledge to overcome the basic condition of all life: You win some and you lose some.
Decide what you want from life.
Set your goals high.
The world will turn aside and let you pass if you know where you're going.
Use your imagination and turn your possibilities into reality.

YOU HAVE UNLIMITED CHOICES.
Your only limitations are in your own mind.
There are no limits to the expansion of your possibilities.
You've got it in you, if only you'll make up your mind and stick with it.
You were not born with a stop-valve on your powers or a set limit to your capacity.
At any moment, you have more possibilities then you can act upon.
When you imagine your possibilities, your vision expands, you capture your dreams in your mind, and your life becomes full.
You can reach out and touch the limits of your being.
Look at things, as they can be.
Be thankful of life because it gives you a chance.
There are no limits to your possibilities, so use your imagination.
You can have all the things you want out of life.

STARTING IS THE KEY IF YOU WANT TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
Your willingness to act, to overcome inertia, is the first step on your path to success.
The courage to begin always separates dreamers from achievers.
You are surrounded by opportunity for success.
Create a definite plan for carrying out your desires and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action.
Do not wait; the time will never be "just right".
Start where you stand, and work with the tools you have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.
The first step is the hardest.
Take it.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

YOU ALWAYS HAVE ENOUGH TIME IF YOU USE IT WISELY.
Time can't be managed.
But what can be managed are your activities and how you spend your time.
Don't serve time, make time serve you.
Set priorities for your goals.
Put first things first.
Most goals are not achieved because people put second things first.
All time management begins with planning.
In all planning you make a list and you set priorities.
When you review your priorities, ask the question:
"What's the best use of your time right now?"
Ask yourself: "What is your payoff in doing this activity?"
"How does this fit in with your long term objectives?"
"Is what you're doing getting you closer to your objective?"
Make those necessary decisions and implement them.
To choose time is to save time.

WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT YOU BECOME.
Your thoughts can cause you to be rich or poor, loved or unloved, happy or unhappy, attractive or unattractive, powerful or weak.
It is a psychological law that whatever you desire to accomplish you must first impress upon your subconscious mind.
Relentless, repetitive self talk is what changes your self image.
You can affect your subconscious mind with verbal repetition.
You'll find this constant repetition carries conviction.
Anything that changes your values changes your behavior.
You must begin to think of yourself as becoming the person you want to be.
Self-suggestion helps you master yourself.
What you conceive yourself to be, you become.

ONLY WHEN YOU CHANGE DO THINGS CHANGE.
It is your philosophy that determines the course of your life.
To change your current direction, you'll find that changing your philosophy will change your circumstances.
Disgust and resolve are two of the great emotions that lead to change.
Isn't it better to make changes motivated by inspiration and not desperation.
Instead of saying, "I sure hope things will change," realize it's all up to you and no one else.
Don't say, "If I could, I would."
Say instead, "If I can, I will."

BIG THINKING PRECEDES BIG ACHIEVEMENT.
Have the courage to follow your dreams.
They will lead you to your destiny and success.
High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation.
In the long run, you'll always hit what you aim at.
So why not aim high?
If you don't have a dream, how are you going to make it come true?
The empire of your future resides in your mind.

THERE IS NO SUDDEN LEAP TO SUCCESS.
All progress begins a step at a time.
Doing good work little by little becomes a great work.
Your house of success will be built brick by brick.
Progress of the best kind is always slow.
Great results cannot be achieved at once.
Everything in life is a progression of steps, so be satisfied to advance step by step.
Do not despise the bottom rungs in your ascent to greatness.
If you build today with a firm and ample base your tomorrow will be secure.
A barrel fills drop by drop.
The fall of dropping water wears away the stone.
Little by little does the trick.

YOU MUST HAVE A DREAM TO MAKE IT COME TRUE.
Advance with confidence in the direction of your dreams, live the life you imagine, and you will meet with success.
The only way to discover the limits of what is possible for you is to go beyond those limits into the impossible.
Far away there in the sunshine are your highest aspirations.
Believe that you can reach them, look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and follow where they lead.
You are the one who can stretch your own horizon.
You can live your dreams.

EFFECTIVE TIME USAGE DETERMINES SUCCESS.
You make an investment of your time each day in your chosen activities.
Time cannot be saved for later use.
It has to be used as it comes.
There are only 24 hours to each day.
Try to get the most out of the time you have.
Focus your efforts on doing the things that will have the most significant impact on your life and your work.
Do the important things first, and stay focused on them until they're done.
Nothing makes you more effective than your ability to stay focused.
Challenge yourself to stay focused.
You'll be amazed at how much more you get done, when you actually work the whole time you're working.
Your time is precious and cannot be replaced.
Use it effectively with focus, get things done, and you'll find the success you seek.

YOU BECOME LIKE YOUR ENVIRONMENT.
You are the product of your environment.
So choose the environment that will best develop you toward your objective.
Analyze your life in terms of your environment.
Are the things around you helping you toward success, or are they holding you back?
Every experience in life, everything you come in contact with, is a chisel which has been cutting away at your life stone, molding, modifying, shaping it.
You are part of all you have met.
Everything you have seen, felt, heard or thought has had its effect in molding you, shaping you.
Your outlook upon life, your estimate of yourself, your estimate of your value are largely colored by your environment.
Your whole career will be influenced by your surroundings, by the character of the people with whom you come in contact every day.
Your first step to success is taken when you refuse to be captive to the environment in which you first find yourself.
The first step toward getting somewhere is to decide that you're not going to stay where you are.
We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us.

LIFE IN ABUNDANCE COMES ONLY THROUGH GREAT LOVE.
Without love, your life echoes emptiness.
With it, your life vibrates warmth and meaning.
Even during hardship, love shines through.
There is no force more potent than love.
Take away love and your earth is a tomb.
If you have it, you don't need to have anything else, and if you don't have it, it doesn't much matter what else you have.
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.
Therefore, search for love.
Once you have learned to love, you will have learned to live.
Love is the most important ingredient of your success.

PEOPLE WITH GOALS SUCCEED.
There is no achievement without goals.
A set definite objective must be established if you are to accomplish anything in a big way.
The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want.
The world will turn aside and let you pass when you know where you are going.
Goals give you a starting place and a destination, and you will be able to determine what it will cost you to get there.
Determine what you want.
Decide on your major objectives, targets, aims, and destination.
You can plant your own dream with a goal.

YOU CAN BE WHO YOU WANT TO BE.
There is no real barrier to your success.
You must merely overcome any doubts you have about your ability.
Your self image prescribes the limits for your accomplishments.
It prescribes the area of what is possible for you.
Don't be afraid of living.
Your belief that life is worth living will help you create the fact around you.
If you see yourself as prosperous, you will be.
If you see yourself as continually hard up, that is exactly what you will be.
You can never succeed until you believe you can succeed.
Everything is possible for those that believe.

OPEN YOUR OWN DOORS TO OPPORTUNITY.
Success doesn't come to you, you must go to it.
You don't need more strength, or more ability or greater opportunity.
What you need is to use what you have.
The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself.
It is not in your environment; it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone.
There will always be a new frontier where there is an open mind and a willing hand.
You make your own opportunities.

YOU HAVE THE POWER TO ATTAIN SUCCESS.
The starting point for all achievement is desire.
You can really have anything you want, if you go after it.
But you have to want it.
The desire for success must be so strong within you that it becomes like the very breath of your life.
Your thought when you wake up, your thought when you go to bed at night.
The first thing that will contribute to reaching your goal is that you simply want to reach it badly enough.
For success you must learn how to desire with sufficient intensity.
As a drowning being desires air, as a shipwrecked soul craves fresh water, so must you feel that intense, eager, longing, craving, insistent, demanding, ravenous desire for your success.
Go after everything you want in life with intensity and it can be yours.

ALWAYS THINK POSITIVE.
You cannot always control your circumstances.
But you can control your own thoughts.
There is nothing either good or bad, only your thinking makes it so.
Things seem to turn out best for those people who can make the best out of the way things turn out.
It is not the situation, it's your reaction to the situation.
The reality of your life may result from many outside factors, none of which you can control.
Your attitude, however, reflects the ways in which you deal with what is happening to you.
Life at any time can become difficult.
Life at any time can become easy.
It all depends upon how you adjust yourself to life.

SEE WHAT YOU WANT AS ALREADY YOURS.
Your imagination is your workshop where all your plans are fashioned.
Visualize your goals and get your subconscious to work toward making your mental pictures come true.
Picture yourself as having already achieved your goal.
See yourself doing the things you'll be doing when you've reached your goal.
Many peak performers use the skill of mental rehearsal or visualization.
They mentally run through important events before they happen.
Know what you want out of life.
Sense it multidimensionally before you have it.
See it, taste it, smell it and imagine the sounds and emotions associated with your goal.
You can pre-live it in your mind before you have it.
This sharp sensory vision will become a powerful driving force in your life.
Your mental image creates your desire.
You will what you imagine.

YOU CAN BE WHAT YOU IMAGINE.
Knowing where you're going is all you need to get there.
You can return over and over to the picture in your mind of the place you are headed for.
If you have correct goals, and you keep pursuing them the best way you know how, everything else will fall into line.
If you do the right thing right, you're going to succeed.
The first essential of success is to know what you want.
Now go after it.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU REPEATEDLY DO.
You first make your habits, and then your habits make you.
You become a slave to your constantly repeated acts.
What at first you choose, at last compels.
Your habits are either the best of servants or the worst of masters.
Your thoughts lead on to purposes; your purposes go forth in action; your actions form your habits; your habits decide your character; and your character fixes your destiny.
Once in motion, a pattern tends to stay in motion.

RICHES LIE WITHIN YOU, NOT IN MATERIAL POSSESSIONS.
Your real riches are riches of the head and heart.
Satisfaction comes to you from appreciating what you have.
Wealth without enjoyment is little consolation.
Your real prosperity lies in being thankful.
While success is getting what you want, true happiness is wanting what you get.
It is not how much you have, but how much you enjoy.

SUCCESS DEPENDS ON USING NOT OPPOSING.
The world is fundamentally 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.
Then you will 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 is through cooperation, rather than conflict, that your greatest successes will be derived.

THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO IS NOT TO TRY.
Your difficulty and the difficulty of everyone who ever desired to achieve something worthwhile, comes in the movement.
Don't always be intending to live a new life, but never find the time to begin living it.
Most people fail, because they don't get started, they don't go.
They don't overcome inertia.
They don't begin.
Begin to free yourself at once by doing all that is possible with the means you have.
As you proceed in this spirit the way will open for you to do more.
The courage to begin separates dreamers from achievers.

YOUR FUTURE IS IN YOUR IMAGINATION.
See things as you would have them be instead of as they are.
Visualize your goals and your subconscious will go to work toward making these mental pictures come true.
You have been endowed with the capacity and the power to create desirable pictures within your mind and to find them automatically printed in the outer world of your environment.
Picture yourself as winning, and that alone will contribute immeasurably to success.
What you see in your mind, you can have in reality.
