SUCCESS IS WITHIN YOU.
Your mind is your essence.
How things look on the outside of you always depends on how things are on the inside of you.
Your thoughts have brought you to where you are today.
Your actions always mirror your thoughts.
Take a good look at where you are and what you are doing, and you can understand what you have been thinking.
Your behavior is the perpetual revealing of yourself.
What you do, tells everyone who and what you are.
Change your thoughts and you can change your position in life.
You can start this process at anytime.
Why not start today!

APPLY PERSISTENCE TO YOUR POSSIBILITIES.
Your success is not a matter of idle chance, it's a matter of making the right choices.
It's not something you wait for, but rather something you'll achieve with effort.
Things won't turn up in this world until you turn them up.
Success is neither magical nor mysterious.
The people that truly succeed in the world are the people who look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them.
Don't sit on the sidelines, get in the game.
Your access to success has no real limits.
The great opportunity in your life is where you are right now.
Every situation, properly perceived, becomes an opportunity for you.
Think positive, pick up your mobile phone and reach out to your goals.
You have grand opportunities all around you.
Open your eyes, and you will find it.
If you have the desire, you have the power.
Taking action is all that is required.

BIG THINKING PRECEDES BIG ACHIEVEMENT.
Your limits are all in your mind.
What you envision you can do, you can do.
Start thinking of yourself as a success.
Success is a state of mind.
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?
Believe in yourself.
Know in your heart, that you can do the job you've set out to do.
Always remember: You can, because you think you can.

WHEN YOU CEASE TO DREAM, YOU CEASE TO LIVE.
If you want to enlarge your life, you must first enlarge your thought of it and yourself.
Hold the ideal of yourself as you long to be, your ideal of what you long to attain, the ideal of health, efficiency, and success.
You can lift yourself by your thoughts.
Your vision will help you climb the highest obstacles.
High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation.
What you can see is what you can get.
You will become as small as your controlling desire; or as great as your dominant aspiration.
The courage to follow your dreams is your first step toward destiny.
You really can live your dreams if you act upon them.

DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT FROM LIFE.
Use your imagination.
Turn your possibilities into reality by taking decisive action.
The difference between greatness and mediocrity will be 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.
You have to make some changes if you want things to change.
Set your goals high.
Surround yourself with successful people.
Follow their lead.
The world will turn aside and let you pass if you know where you are going.
Successful people take action.

SUCCESS IS A DETERMINED ACTION AWAY.
When you dare to face the things that frighten you, you open the door to freedom and success.
It is an old psychological axiom that constant exposure to the object of your fear immunizes you against that fear.
Do what you fear and the fear will disappear.
Most of your obstacles will melt away, if, instead of cowering before them, you make up your mind to walk boldly through them.
To fight fear, act.
To increase fear, wait, put off, postpone.
Nothing in life is to be feared.
It is only to be understood.

TO WIN, YOU MUST BEGIN.
Create a definite plan for carrying out your desires and begin at once.
Put your plan into action, whether you are ready or not.
You must take the first step as soon as possible.
The first step will take some effort, perhaps pain.
But after that, everything that has to be done is real -- life movement.
Once you're moving you can keep moving.
If you can get up the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.
It is impossible to win the race unless you venture to run.
Your only true failure will be your failure to start.
It's been said that eighty percent of success is showing up.
Winning starts with beginning.

ONE SURE THING ABOUT LUCK IS THAT IT WILL CHANGE.
Be ready when opportunity comes.
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 success.
By the law of periodic repetition, everything that has happened once must happen again, and again.
Not capriciously, but at regular intervals, and each thing in it's own period, and each obeying it's own law.
As events tend to repeat themselves, the tide of opportunity will come to you.
When you are prepared, your chance for success is sure to come.
Look around you.
Seize an opportunity to change your life.
Today is your time for action not tomorrow.
You can change chance into good fortune if you are ready.

TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR LIFE.
You are in control of your life to the degree that you make decisions.
To influence the outcome of anything, you must control the action at the point of decision making.
When you let others make decisions for you, you have no control.
When you control the decisions, you control the actions.
Take charge of your life.
You don't have to ask permission of other people or society at large.
When you ask permission, you give someone veto power over your life.
If you don't run your own life, somebody else will.
There are things you want to do.
Do them.

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 to the top.
No one can do it for you.
Only you can make it happen.
You're the only one that has to live your life.
Your success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility.
Choose the thoughts and actions that will lead you to success.
Your life will be what you make of it.
Nothing will happen by itself.
Success will come your way once you realize that you have to make it come your way.
The choice to succeed is yours.

THE POWER TO CHOOSE IS YOUR GREATEST POWER.
At anytime, you can decide to alter the course of your life.
No one can ever take that away from you.
You can control your own destiny, make yourself do what ever is possible, make yourself become whatever you long to be.
You don't have to buy from anyone.
You don't have to work at a particular job.
You don't have to participate in any given relationship.
You can choose.
The choice is yours.
It is always your next move.

DESIRE IS THE STARTING POINT FOR SUCCESS.
Your desires are the precursors of the things which you are capable of having.
Your intense anticipation can transform possibility into reality.
Your desires can in time externalize themselves into concrete fact.
Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat.
The intensity of your desire governs the power with which your energies will be directed.
When you care enough for a given result, you will almost certainly attain it.
All your dreams can come true, if you have the courage to pursue them.
Reality forms around your commitments.

YOUR DISPOSITION DETERMINES YOUR SUCCESS.
What happens to you is less significant than what happens inside you.
Recognize that all things are difficult before they are easy.
You reveal yourself to the world by your behavior.
What you do and say, tells everyone all that you are.
The thoughts you have chosen have brought you to where you are today.
Change your thoughts and you change your actions.
Change your actions and you are on the road to success.
You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.

ACCEPT RISK AS A NORMAL PART OF LIVING.
Taking risks is a necessity if you want to find success.
View risk as part of the process of exploring your world.
Always take note of its lessons and move on.
The difference between greatness and mediocrity is how often you take risks.
Forget about the consequences of risk taking.
Risk opens you to a temporary change in direction that can set you straight for your next success.
If you're big enough to risk, to live temporarily outside your comfort zone, you're big enough to win.

SUCCESS IS DETERMINED ON THE DRAWING BOARD.
It isn't sufficient just to want success.
You've got to ask yourself what are you going to do to get the things you want.
Your problem is to bridge the distance which exists between where you are now and the goal you intend to reach.
Planning brings your future into the present so you can do something about it now.
All you need is a good plan, and the courage to press on to your destination.
Somewhere there is a map of how it can be done.
A well built house started with a definite purpose and a set of blueprints.
Your plan should provide the pattern for the actions you will take.
Take time each day to study, think and plan.
You will develop the power that will bring you to success.
No one was ever lost on a straight road.

IF YOU HAVE THE DESIRE, YOU HAVE THE POWER.
Believe in yourself.
Know in your heart, that you can do the job you've set out to do.
Your dreams can come true.
If you have the power to pursue them.
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.
Everything is possible, if you believe it's possible.
Your mind sets your limits.
What you envision you can do, you can do.
Dreams do come true, if you only wish hard enough.
You can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it.
Start thinking of yourself as a success.
Success is a state of mind.
You can, because you think you can.

THERE IS A GOOD SIDE TO EVERY SITUATION.
An optimist sees the opportunity in every calamity.
A pessimist sees a calamity in every opportunity.
The optimist sees the doughnut, the pessimist the hole.
To find success become an optimist.
Learn to develop success from any failure.
Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.
No elements can do so much for you if you are willing to study them and make them work for you.
View every problem you have as an opportunity.
Everything depends on the way you look at things.

ALL SUCCESS STARTS WITH BEGINNING.
To reach your goal or to attain success, you don't need to know all the answers in advance.
You do need to have a clear idea of your goal.
Don't procrastinate when faced with a difficult problem.
Break your problem into parts, and handle one part at a time.
Develop a bias toward action.
Break your big plan into small steps and take the first step right away.
Make something happen, now.
Everyone who got where they are had to begin where they were.
You have opportunities all around you.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.
Take it.

OPEN YOUR OWN DOOR TO SUCCESS.
Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility.
The one quality that all successful people have is their ability to take on responsibility.
You must choose the thoughts and actions that will lead you on to success.
Nothing will happen by itself.
It can all come your way, once you understand that you have to make it come your way, by your own exertions.
Remember well that nothing can bring you success but yourself.
Find your pathway to success and begin your journey.
Your life will be what you make of it.
The golden opportunity you are seeking lies within you.
It is not in your environment; it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone.
Opportunity is all around you.
And if the door of opportunity is closed, you must keep on knocking on it, and keep on knocking on it until it opens.
You'll develop your opportunity by applying persistence to your possibilities.
Success won't come to you, you must go to it.
Be an opener of doors.

YOU'LL FIND TRUE JOY USING YOUR POTENTIAL.
You will find your greatest success and happiness in life when you use your natural abilities to their greatest extent.
You were built to conquer your environment, solve problems and achieve goals.
You will find no real satisfaction or happiness in life without obstacles to conquer and goals to achieve.
Happiness is not in having or being, it is in doing.
The essence of true wisdom is to know that rest is rust, and that real life is love, laughter, and activity.
Yes, there is true happiness.
It is found in doing a job well done, in putting your child to sleep, and in writing the last line of your poem.
Personal growth itself contains the seed of happiness.

THE ODDS ARE WITH YOU, IF YOU TRY.
When you're sure you're on the right road you don't need 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 can only take one step at a time.
You don't even need to know all the answers in advance.
But you must have a clear idea of where you want to go.
If you can get up the courage to begin, you have the courage necessary to succeed.
After all, eighty percent of success is showing up.
Go after what you want and you'll get it.

EXPERIENCE IS WHAT YOU DO WITH WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU.
Attitude is determined by how you respond to circumstances.
It is how you react to events, not the events themselves, that will determine your attitude.
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
No one on earth can hurt you, unless you accept the hurt in your own mind.
Your problem is not other people, it is your reaction to them.
You don't have much control over external forces like tornados, earthquakes, floods, disasters, illness and pain.
What really matters is your internal force.
How you respond to these disasters is something you can control.
Life at any time can become difficult.
Life at any time can become easy.
Your quality of life will depend on how you adjust your circumstances.
You can control your own thoughts.

USE YOUR IMAGINATION.
Your mind is your mental workshop.
You can build anything you want in it.
Visualize what you want.
See it, feel it, believe in it.
Make your mental blue print, and then begin construction.
See things as you would have them be instead of as they are.
Use your imagination to perceive your new reality even when it is not fully materialized.
Remember, you must first clearly see a thing in your mind before you can do it.
Your imagination will show you how to turn possibility into reality.
The beginning of your success is in your imagination.
First think, then organize your thoughts into plans, then transform your thoughts into reality by taking positive action.
See the things you want as already yours.
Think of them as yours, as belonging to you, as already in your possession.
Picture yourself as having already achieved your goal.
Dreams and ideas can cross continents and oceans.
They go anywhere you can go.
What you see is what you get.

YOU HAVE THE POWER TO SUCCEED.
The power to fulfill your dreams is inside you.
You alone have the responsibility to shape your life.
Nothing, and no one can deny you success.
You are the one pushing yourself forward or holding yourself back.
No excuses will save you from accepting this responsibility.
The day you take complete responsibility for yourself, the day you stop making alibis, that's the day you start to the top.
Success lies in you, not in time, place, or circumstance.
Chose the thoughts and actions what will take you there.
There is greatness in you.
Set your own standards.
There is no one to stop you but yourself.
Success is yours if you want it.
Go for it!!

CHANGE IS ALWAYS AROUND YOU.
Recognize that change will take place.
It is inevitable.
Be secure in the knowledge that you can deal with what happens.
Security comes from being able to bend your insecurities.
You won't break when things don't go your way.
You'll always be secure to the degree that you can accept change.
You'll always be secure, not by standing still, but by growing, moving, and taking action.
Your ultimate security is your understanding of this reality.
There is no permanent security on this earth: there is only opportunity.
Have the courage to bet on your ideas.
Take those calculated risks, and act.
There is nothing to stop you on the road to success but yourself.
Successful people embrace change.

SUCCESS IS AHEAD OF YOU.
Keep trying is the rule you must follow to become successful in anything.
Success in anything is connected with action.
Successful people keep moving.
They make mistakes but they don't quit.
They hang on after others have let go.
Persistence means taking pains to overcome every obstacle, to do all that's necessary to reach your goal.
Never, never, never, never give up.
Endurance is the crowning quality of success.

SEE THINGS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM BE.
If you don't have a dream, how are you going to make it come true?
By visualizing your goals, you can get your subconscious to work toward making those mental pictures come true.
You will gradually grow into the conditions you desire, provided you first make yourself in habitual mental attitude the person who corresponds to those conditions.
Advance confidently in the direction of your dreams, and endeavor to live the life you imagine, and you will meet with success unexpected in common hours.
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 try to follow where they lead.
The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible.
You are the one who can stretch your horizon.

SHORTEN THE ROAD TO YOUR GOAL WITH A GOOD SYSTEM.
Having an intelligent plan is your first step to success.
If you plan, you know where you are going, know what progress you are making and you'll have a pretty good idea when you'll arrive.
Meticulous planning will enable everything you do to appear spontaneous.
Your goals can only be reached through the vehicle of a plan.
One in which you fervently believe, and upon which you will vigorously act.
There is no other route to success.
What do you want to achieve or avoid?
The answers to these questions are your objectives.
How do you go about achieving your desired results?
The answer to this will be your strategy.
Success or failure is often determined on the drawing board.
Frame your life so that at some future hour fact and your dreams meet.

IT'S ALWAYS YOUR CHOICE.
Some people are successful in mastering life, while others permit life to master them.
The split in you is clear.
There is a part of you that knows what it should do, and a part that does what it feels like doing.
If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins.
By understanding these opposing forces warring within you, you come to a 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 thought transformed into feeling.
Change the thought that creates 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 ACTION HAS CUMULATIVE RESULTS.
Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated over and over again.
All masters of success are chiefly distinguished by their power of adding a second, a third, and perhaps a forth step in a continuous line.
Many people take the first step and go no further.
Yet with each additional step you enhance greatly the value of your first.
There is no easy road to anything.
Do one thing at a time, and all things in succession.
That which grows fast, withers as rapidly.
That which grows slowly, endures.
Do not despise the bottom rungs in your ascent to success.
