THE FUTURE IS A BIG ADVENTURE

You need to focus on your future, not your past. Prepare for your future, don’t live in the past. Relish your good memories and use any bad ones as lessons in life.

Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can.
The cards you’re dealt in life are less important than the way you play them.

Every day you face a new deck and new cards.

Carve out a niche for yourself in your imagined future. Begin immediately to think and feel yourself as successful.

To achieve your goal in life, you need to project your end result.

Think of the elation, the satisfaction, the joy you’ll feel when you’ve achieved your objective. Carry these ecstatic feelings with you every day and they will bring your desired goals into view.

Success is waiting for you.

SUCCESSFUL ACTION IS CUMULATIVE IN RESULTS

Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.

Many people take the first step and then stop. Yet, with every additional step you take, you enhance immensely the value of your first step.

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.

There is no royal road to anything. One thing at a time, all things in succession is the rule of life. That which grows fast, withers as rapidly. That which grows slowly, endures.

Do not despise the bottom rings in your ascent to greatness.

WORK IS REWARD NOT PUNISHMENT

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.

LIVE AND ACT IN A SPIRIT OF LOVE

The place to begin to improve the world is in your own heart, head and hands.

To get along with others, love them without forcing your love upon them.

Imposing your beliefs on people will not bring you peace.

Have concern for others, respect their rights and freedoms, and let them be themselves. Do this and you will enjoy peace.

Having consideration for others is the basis of a good life. Most people are not against you, they are merely for themselves. Let differing ideas clash, but not those of the heart.

Peace comes to you when you live and act in a spirit of 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

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

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

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

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

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.
