Monday, May 31, 1999 - Memorial Day

IT IS YOUR FRIENDS THAT MAKE YOUR WORLD.
Your environment is the mental feeding ground from which the food that goes into your mind is extracted.
Choose your environment with care...one that is positive, one that lifts you up and gives you wings to soar.
Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambition.
Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.
Don't become a victim of your environment.
Create favorable conditions through your associations.
Your own inherent force and energy will compel things to turn out the way you desire when you're surrounded by positive people.
We shape our buildings, thereafter they shape us.

YOU ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY OF YOUR PROBLEMS.
The process of growing and learning always involves risks.
Courage comes from the reserves of your mind that are much more powerful than your outside circumstances.
When you are bigger than your problems, you gain the courage necessary to win.
Courage is the power to face difficulties.
Obstacles will always look large or small to you according to whether you are large or small.
Courage is the capacity to confront what can be imagined.
It gives you the ability to rise above reality.
See things as you would have them be instead of as they are.
Overcoming obstacles is the price of achievement...the price of greatness.


Saturday, May 29, 1999

ACTION AND EFFORT MAKE DREAMS A REALITY.
You have the power and the opportunity to change your life, to make of it anything you want.
It's not difficult...it just takes effort.
See things as you would have them be instead of as they are.
Your personal plan must focus on what you want, not what you have.
Your imagination will show you how to turn possibility into reality.
Visualize your goals and your subconscious will work toward making those mental pictures come true.
Picture yourself vividly as winning, and that alone will contribute immeasurably to your success.
Knowing where you're going is all you need to get there.


Friday, May 28, 1999

SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE HAVE GOALS.
Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go, they merely determine where you start.
The purpose of goals is to focus your attention on your future.
Magic begins when you set them.
Your power to accomplish becomes a reality when you have them.
Your mind reaches toward achievement when it has clear objectives.
Goals give you a starting place and a destination.
If you focus the full power of all you are on what you have, a burning desire to achieve... you will attain success.
Act on your dreams and they are yours.


Thursday May 27, 1999

QUALITY OF LIFE STARTS IN YOUR MIND.
Your real riches are riches in your head and heart.
Real satisfaction comes from appreciating what you have.
Wealth without enjoyment is little consolation.
There are two ways of being happy: you must either diminish your wants or augment your means.
It is always better to appreciate things you cannot have than to have the things you cannot appreciate.
It is not what you have, but what you enjoy that constitutes your abundance.
Your riches will always lie within you, not in your material possessions.


Wednesday, May 26, 1999

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 a 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 will make you the master of your life.
Resistance is your thoughts transformed into feelings.
Change the thoughts 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.


Tuesday, May 25, 1999

WORK IS NOT PUNISHMENT, IT IS REWARD.
If you enjoy what you do, you will be successful.
If you do not enjoy what you do, you will not be successful.
Your success in any occupation depends on your enjoyment.
Loving your work makes the difference.
You never achieve real success unless you like what you are doing.
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.
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.


Monday, May 24, 1999

YOUR MIND SETS YOUR LIMITS.
What you believe yourself to be, you are.
Your self image prescribes the limits for the accomplishment of your goals.
It prescribes the "area of the possible" for you.
Your mind always sets your limits.
If you believe that you can do something, you can do it.
You must believe in it 100 percent.
The feelings must come first from within you.
If you actually feel rich, if you have a deep inner conviction that you will always have all that you need, it will be so.
The strongest single factor in prosperity consciousness is self-esteem: believing you can do it, believing you deserve it, believing you will get it.
If you want success, start thinking of yourself as a success.
It's all in your mind.


Sunday, May 23, 1999

SUCCESS IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU.
You can choose to be lazy or you can choose to be ambitious.
Stop to think about your choice again.
You always do your own choosing.
Your success is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of your choice.
It is not something you wait for, but rather something you achieve with effort.
Things don't turn up in this world until you turn them up.
When you realize what you really want, it stops you from chasing rainbows and puts you to work digging gold.
Decide now that you really want to achieve your goals.
Doors open when you're honest with yourself.
If you want to really succeed in this world, look for the circumstances you want, and, if you can't find them, make them.
Your opportunities for success are all around you.
If you look hard enough, you will find them.
The great opportunity in your life is where you are right now.
Every situation, properly perceived, can become an opportunity for you.
First say to yourself what you would be, then do what you have to do.


Saturday, May 22, 1999

SUCCESS IS A MATTER OF EXPECTATION.
If you want to succeed, you must first expect to succeed.
And you can't expect to succeed beyond your wildest expectations unless you begin with some pretty wild expectations.
So set your goals high.
You'll find that when you expect good things to happen, strangely enough, they will happen.
Your expectation energizes your goals and gives them momentum.
Your life will always respond to your outlook.
When you believe something good can happen...it does.
The dreams you choose to believe in come to be.
Expect success and it is yours.


Friday, May 21, 1999

THINK IN TERMS OF WHAT THE OTHER PERSON WANTS.
You can get anything in life you want if you will just help enough other people to get what they want.
Personal relationships are the fertile soil from which all advancement, all success, all achievement in real life grows.
Your success depends on the support of other people.
The only hurdle between you and what you want to be is the support of others.
You cannot hold a torch to light another's path without brightening your own.


Thursday, May 20, 1999

WITH A VISION YOU CAN SEE THE FUTURE.
Study your present situation thoroughly.
Go over in your imagination the various courses of action possible to you.
Visualize the consequences which can follow from each course.
Pick out the course which gives you the most promise and go ahead.
Many peak performers use this skill of mental visualization.
They mentally run through important events before they happen.
Picture yourself in your minds eye as already having achieved your goal.
See yourself doing all the things you'll be doing when you've reached your goal.
Put your subconscious to work toward making your mental pictures come true.
Go over your day in your imagination before you begin it, you can begin acting successfully at any moment.
See the things you want as already yours.
Think of them as yours, as already in your possession.
What you can see in your mind you can get.


Wednesday, May 19, 1999

YOUR SUCCESS STARTS WHEN YOU BEGIN.
To reach your goal or to attain success, don't worry about having all the answers in advance.
You just need to have a clear idea of the goal.
Don't procrastinate when faced with a difficult problem.
Break your problems into parts, and handle one part at a time.
Develop a bias toward action.
Make something happen...now.
Break your big plan into small steps and take the first step right away.
Everyone who got where they are had to begin where they were.
Your opportunity for success is where you are right now.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.
Take that step today.


Tuesday, May 11, 1999

THERE IS NO GROWTH WITHOUT EFFORT.
You grow by responding positively to change.
Growth means change and change involves risk when stepping from the known to the unknown.
Your strength and growth will come only through continuous effort and struggle.
All growth depends on activity.
There is no development without effort.
Trouble is the common denominator of living.
It is the great equalizer.
Your trials, your sorrows and your grief's will develop you.
Whatever good or bad fortune comes your way, you can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value.
Wealth is nothing, position is nothing, fame is nothing.
Who you become inside is everything.
What happens is not as important as how you react to what happens.


Monday, May 10, 1999

YOU CONTROL YOUR THOUGHTS.
Your life at any time can become difficult.
Your life at any time can become easy.
It all depends upon how you adjust to life.
It's never the situation, it's your reaction to the situation.
The way you react to circumstances determines your feelings.
Your quality of life is determined not by what life brings to you, but by the attitude you have towards life.
What happens to you is less significant than what happens within you.
You cannot always control your circumstances, but you can control your own thoughts.
It's not your position but your disposition that matters.


Sunday, May 9, 1999 - HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED.
Life in abundance comes only through great love.
If you have it, you don't need anything else.
And if you don't have it, it doesn't really matter what else you have.
Love is the most important ingredient of success.
Without it, your life is empty.
With it, your life vibrates with meaning.
Even in hardship, love shines through.
Once you have learned to love, you will have learned to live.
Do all things with love.


Saturday, May 8, 1999

THERE IS NO SUCCESS WITHOUT HARDSHIP.
The world is so constructed, that if you wish to enjoy its pleasures, you must also endure its pains.
Like it or not, you cannot have one without the other.
Success is not measured by what you accomplish.
It's measured by the opposition you encounter, and the courage with which you maintain your struggle against the odds.
You'll find all things are difficult before they are easy.
The greater your obstacles, the more glory in overcoming them.
So, make up your mind before you start that sacrifice is part of the package.
No pain, no gain.
No thorns, no throne.
No cross, no crown.
You've got to go through the negative before you get to the positive.


Friday, May 7, 1999

THE ODDS ARE WITH YOU IF YOU TRY.
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.
If you've got the nerve to make it, you will.
There is no failure except in no longer trying.
Success is a road paved with perseverance.


Thursday, May 6, 1999

SUCCESS IS WITHIN YOU.
You have the power to do things you never dreamed possible.
This power is available to you as soon as you change your beliefs.
You have a fair chance at success if you take action.
If you did all the things you are capable of doing, you would literally astound yourself.
You have possibilities you don't even know about.
You can do things you don't even dream you can do.
The only limitations on what you can do are in your mind.
Look at things as they can be.
You can do anything if you try.


Wednesday, May 5, 1999

YOU CAN LIVE YOUR DREAMS.
Your first step in getting the things you want out of life is to decide what you want.
Determine your major objectives, targets, aims, and destination.
You'll find no achievement without setting goals.
You have to set definite objectives if you are to accomplish anything in a big way.
If you don't know where you're going, you can't expect to get there.
Your goals will give you a starting place and a destination.
You'll also be able to determine what it will cost you to get there and you'll be going someplace in the process.
The world turns aside to let anyone pass who knows where they're going.
Your dreams and imagination can show you where you can go.
Always remember, knowing where you're going is all you need to get there.


Tuesday, May 4, 1999

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS ALL THE TIME.
Don't handle life like some people treat bad weather.
They while away the time waiting for it to stop.
Opportunity is around you all the time, but you have to be ready for it.
When your chance comes, you must have the equipment to take advantage of it.
Life's race is not won by the swift or the battle to the strong, for time and chance happen to everyone.
Take a second look at what appears to be someone's "good luck."
You'll find not luck but preparation, planning and success-producing thinking.
When you are prepared for opportunity, your chance for success is sure to come.
The season of failure is the best time for sowing the seeds of success.
The tide of opportunity comes to everyone.


Monday, May 3, 1999

STARTING SEPARATES ACHIEVERS FROM DREAMERS.
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.
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.
Your difficulty and the difficulty of every individual who ever desired to achieve something worthwhile, comes in the movement.
The worst thing you can do is not to try.


Sunday, May 2, 1999

OPPORTUNITY LIES IN THE MIDST OF DIFFICULTY.
Every problem has hidden in it an opportunity so powerful that it literally dwarfs the problem.
The greatest success stories were created by people who recognized a problem and turned it into an opportunity.
You'll find that every situation, properly perceived, offers opportunity.
As fast as each opportunity presents itself, use it.
No matter how tiny an opportunity it may be, use it.
You'll find new directions when you have an open mind and a willing hand.
Successful people don't achieve their distinction by having some new talent or opportunity presented to them.
They developed an opportunity that was at hand.
You must make your own opportunities if you want success.
They are all around you.
Open your eyes and take action.


Saturday, May 1, 1999

YOU ALWAYS HAVE A CHANCE.
You have the power to do things you never dreamed possible.
This power becomes available to you as soon as you change your beliefs.
If you did all the things you are capable of doing, you would literally amaze yourself.
You know what you are today, but not what you may become tomorrow.
Look at things as you want them to be, and then make those things happen.
You don't know what you can do until you try.
You can do anything you wish to do, have anything you wish to have, be anything you wish to be.
Never say never.
