YOUR SUCCESS IN ANY OCCUPATION DEPENDS ON YOUR ENJOYMENT

YOUR SUCCESS IN ANY OCCUPATION DEPENDS ON YOUR ENJOYMENT

Loving your work makes the difference. 

If you enjoy what you do, you’ll be successful. If you don’t enjoy what you do, you won’t be successful. 

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. You’ll never achieve real success unless you like what you are doing. 

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.

CONQUER YOUR FEAR WITH ACTION

CONQUER YOUR FEAR WITH ACTION

Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood. 

When you dare to face the things that scare you; you open the door to freedom. 

Most of your obstacles will melt away if instead of cowering before them or procrastinating about dealing with them you make 

up your mind to walk boldly through them. 

Don’t be afraid to take the step you need to take to make positive changes in your life. 

To fight fear you must act. 

Waiting, putting off, or postponing only increases fear. If you understood enough, you would never be afraid.

QUALITY OF LIFE BEGINS IN YOUR MIND

QUALITY OF LIFE BEGINS IN YOUR MIND

It’s not what you have, but what you enjoy that constitutes your abundance. Your real riches are riches in your head and heart. 

Wealth without enjoyment is little consolation. True satisfaction comes from appreciating what you have. 

There are two ways of being happy: you must either diminish your wants or augment your means. It’s always better to appreciate things you cannot have than to have the things you cannot appreciate. 

Your riches will always lie within you, not in your material possessions. 

 

FREEDOM MEANS RESPONSIBILITY

FREEDOM MEANS RESPONSIBILITY

Freedom is the right to live as you wish.

If you wish to free yourself from enslavement, you must chose freedom and the responsibility it entails.

There is a price for every freedom, something to be given up for every liberty.

Its up to you to weigh the price you must pay for each of your freedoms. And everything you want has a price.

Freedom is the opportunity to make decisions. Its the capacity to take a hand in your own development.

Freedom is the right to choose. Its the right to create for yourself the alternatives of choice. No one is free who is not master of himself.

You are free to do whatever you would like. You need only face the consequences of your actions.

TO REACH YOUR GOAL REQUIRES PERSISTENCE

TO REACH YOUR GOAL REQUIRES PERSISTENCE

Keep trying is the rule that must be followed to be successful at anything. 

Your success will always be connected with your actions. 

Just keep moving towards your goal. 

You’ll make mistakes, but don’t ever quit. You may even have to hang on after others have let go. 

Persistence means to taking pains to overcome every obstacle. To do all that’s necessary to reach your goal. 

In the end, the only people who fail are those that do not try. 

All great achievement takes time and persistence.

THERE IS ALWAYS ANOTHER CHOICE

THERE IS ALWAYS ANOTHER CHOICE

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 alone steer the course you choose in the direction of where you want to be today, tomorrow or in any 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.

WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY

WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS 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 obtain 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.

IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO WIN UNLESS YOU RUN

IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO WIN UNLESS YOU RUN

Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire and begin at once, whether you’re ready or not to put your plan into action. 

It’s up to you to take the first step. The first step will take some effort, maybe 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. 

The only true failure lies in the failure to start. Eighty per cent of success is showing up. 

Winning starts with beginning.

WANTING TO WIN IS EVERYTHING

WANTING TO WIN IS EVERYTHING

Success is connected with continuous action. 

It’s largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go. 
You’re not finished when you’re defeated, you’re only finished when you quit. 

The most important quality essential to success is perseverance. 

It overcomes almost everything, even nature. 

You can have a fresh start any time you choose, for “failure” is not in the falling down, but in the staying down. It’s not over until it’s over. 

If you’ve got the courage to stick it out, you’ll attain your goal. 

Winning isn’t everything, but wanting to is.

DON’T BELIEVE IN MIRACLES, DEPEND ON THEM

DON’T BELIEVE IN MIRACLES, DEPEND ON THEM

You don’t need an explanation for everything. 

Recognize that there are such things as miracles, events for which there are no explanations. Later, knowledge may explain those events away. 

The fact that you plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another’s, smile at someone and receive a smile in return are common miracles. 

Your duty to yourself is to believe that for which you have sufficient evidence, and to suspend your judgement when you have not. 

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. 
Some things have to be believed to be seen. 

Vision is the art of seeing invisible things.
