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.
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 that counts.
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.
Keeping a little ahead of conditions is one of the secrets of business.
The time to repair your roof is when the sun is shining. Try to do things before they need to be done.
Let your advance worrying become advance thinking and planning. Position yourself ahead of time in the best place for you.
You’ll gain the advantage in any situation through one medium: time
When you think ahead of any approaching action you’ll always have the advantage. You’ll be the winner.
Do the next thing.
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 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.
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.
Put yourself in another person’s place, and you’ll know why they think and do certain things. You can succeed fastest by helping others to succeed.
Always think in terms of what the other person wants.
You’ll get everything in life that you want if you’ll help enough other people get what they want. Doing things for others always pays dividends.
Personal relationships are the fertile soil from which all advancement, all success, all achievement in real life grows.
You’re not an isolated island. You’re a piece of the planet, a piece of the universe.
When you help someone’s boat across a river, you’ll find your own boat has reached the shore too.
There is a good side to every situation.
View your problems as opportunities. You cannot have the success without the failures. Any experience can be transformed into something of value.
Everything depends on the way you look at things.
What are stumbling blocks and defeat before you can be stepping stones to victory if you remain determined.
In all of your adversities lies the seeds of equivalent advantages. In every defeat there is a lesson showing you how to win the next time.
When it’s dark enough you can see the stars.
If you want to enlarge your life, you must first enlarge your thought of it and yourself.
Hold the image of yourself as you long to be, the image of what you long to obtain, the image of health, efficiency and success.
You can lift yourself by your thoughts. Your vision will allow you surmount the highest obstacles. High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation.
What you see is what you get.
You’ll become as small as your controlling desire or as great as your dominant aspiration. The courage to follow your dreams is your first step towards destiny.
You can live your dreams.
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.
