DO ALL THINGS WITH LOVE

DO ALL THINGS WITH LOVE

Love is the most important ingredient of life.

Your life echoes emptiness without it. With it, your life vibrates meaning and warmth.

Love will shine through even in hardship.

You will find as you look back upon your life 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.

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.

Treasure the love you receive above everything else. It will survive long after your wealth and good health have vanished.

The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart.

Life in abundance comes only through great love.

YOU ONLY GET TO KEEP WHAT YOU GIVE AWAY

YOU ONLY GET TO KEEP WHAT YOU GIVE AWAY

It’s a universal law: You have to give before you get.

You must plant your seeds before you reap the harvest. The more you sow, the more you will reap. In giving to others, you will find yourself blessed.

The law works to give you back more then you have sown. Those that obtain have little. Those who scatter have much. The giver’s harvest is always full. Nature does not give to those who will not spend.

This is the time of year to show appreciation to those you love.

EVERYONE HAS A CHANCE FOR SUCCESS

EVERYONE HAS A CHANCE FOR SUCCESS

People often handle life as they do bad weather. They while away the time waiting for it to stop. Yet the tide of opportunity comes to everyone.

Opportunity knocks all the time, but you’ve got to be ready for it. When your chance comes, you must have the equipment to take advantage of it.

The race is not to 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’re 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.

Decide that this year will be your year for success and prepare for it to happen.

MAKING A CHOICE IS YOUR GREATEST POWER

MAKING A CHOICE IS YOUR GREATEST POWER

At any time you can decide to alter the course of your life. No one can ever take that away from you.

You can do what you want to do and be who you want to be.

Nature is constantly at work around you. Character and destiny are her handiwork. She gives you love and hate, jealousy and reverence.

You have the power to choose which impulse you follow.

While your character is formed by your circumstances, your desires can shape those circumstances.

The one thing over which you have absolute control are your own thoughts.

It is this that puts you in a position to control your own destiny.

Your greatest power is the power to choose.

THE GLASS IS ALWAYS HALF FULL

THE GLASS IS ALWAYS HALF FULL

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.

THINKING BIG PRECEDES BIG ACHIEVEMENT

THINKING BIG PRECEDES BIG ACHIEVEMENT

High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation.

You’ll always hit what you aim for in the long run. So why not aim high?

Have the courage to follow your dreams. It’s the first step towards attaining your destiny.

If you can dream it, you can do it. If you don’t have a dream, how are you going to make it come true?

In order to succeed beyond your wildest expectations, you need some wild expectations.

YOUR CHOICES ARE UNLIMITED

YOUR CHOICES ARE UNLIMITED

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.

EVERY FAILURE IS A STEP CLOSER TO SUCCESS

EVERY FAILURE IS A STEP CLOSER TO SUCCESS

People who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed.

Experiencing failure is inevitable on your journey to be successful. Each defeat is merely an installment to victory.

You’ll find that the number of times you succeed is in direct proportion to the number of times you fail and keep trying. You won’t be judged

by the number of times you fail, but by the number of times you succeed.

Failure is nothing but education, nothing but the first step to something better.

You can’t be a winner and be afraid to lose.

IT’S YOUR FRIENDS THAT MAKE YOUR WORLD

IT’S YOUR FRIENDS THAT MAKE YOUR WORLD

Your own positive energy will compel things to turn out the way you desire when you’re surrounded by positive people.

Choose your environment with care. Your environment is your mental feeding ground. It’s where all the food that goes into your mind comesĀ from.

Choose your environment with care, one that is positive, one that lifts you up and gives you wings to soar.

Create favorable conditions through your association with others. Avoid people who belittle your ambition.

Small people always do that, but the really great people, make you feel that you, too, can become great.

LEADERSHIP IS ACTION NOT POSITION

LEADERSHIP IS ACTION NOT POSITION

All successful people became successful, because they gave some talent or ability in the service of others.

You can contribute in some way to others, no matter how small your talent. You too, can become successful.

No one achieves success without being of service.

Successful people don’t use others, other people use the successful, for above all success is of service.

Everyone has to be someone to someone to be anyone. Service is the essence of success.
