FOLLOW THE PATH OF OTHERS TO SUCCESS

FOLLOW THE PATH OF OTHERS TO SUCCESS

You can learn from other people to make up for your lack of experience in any area of life.

Be open and receptive to the people around you. They have things to teach you.

Take advantage of the people that have made the journey ahead of you.

Try to pick the right role models. Don’t look for people that make you feel good or entertain you. Look for people that can help you.

Role models are more than people you like and admire.

The key is to look for people that will help you to be more successful. You can learn from the mistakes of others. You can learn

different approaches to overcoming challenges.

Learning “what not to do” is as important as learning “what to do.”

WHEN YOU STOP DREAMING YOU STOP LIVING

WHEN YOU STOP DREAMING YOU STOP LIVING

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.

LOVE IS ETERNAL

LOVE IS ETERNAL

Once you have learned to love; who you are, what you do, and those around you, you will have truly learned to live.

Search for love, for it is the most important ingredient of life.

Without it, your life will echo emptiness.

With it, your life will vibrate with warmth and meaning. Even during any hardship, love will shine through.

To love abundantly is to live abundantly. To love forever is to live forever.

Be thankful for what you have now.

And be thankful for the opportunities for love and success that are before you.

ALL PERSONAL GROWTH INVOLVES CHANGE

ALL PERSONAL GROWTH INVOLVES CHANGE
Personal growth is the process of responding positively to change. It involves risk as you step from the known to the unknown. 

All your growth will depend on your activity. Your strength and growth will come only through continuous effort and struggle. 

There will be no development without effort. 

Trouble is the common denominator of living. It is the great equalizer of life. Your trials, your sorrows and your grief’s will develop you. 

When good or bad fortune comes your way, you must give it meaning and transform it into something of value. 

What happens to you is not as important as your reaction to what is happening.

THE COURAGE TO BEGIN

THE COURAGE TO BEGIN

The courage to begin separates dreamers from achievers.

Your difficulty and the difficulty of everyone who ever desires to achieve anything worthwhile comes in the movement.

Don’t always be intending to live a new life but never find a time to begin living it.

Most people fail because they never get started. They don’t go they don’t overcome inertia, they don’t begin.

Begin to 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. The worst you can do is not to try.

MAKE IT YOUR LIFE RULE TO DO YOUR BEST

MAKE IT YOUR LIFE RULE TO DO YOUR BEST

It will be your constant effort to be first class in everything you attempt that will help you conquer the heights of success. 

Always do more than you’re supposed to do and you can have, be or do anything you want. 

Do a little more than average and from that point on your progress multiplies itself out of all proportion to the effort you put in. 

You can do a little more each day than you think you can. There is always a best way of doing everything. 

Find it. 

To enjoy enduring success, you should travel a little in advance of the rest of the world. True success comes from being successful in little things. 

Let superiority be your trademark.

IT’S ALWAYS A GOOD TIME TO CHANGE

IT’S ALWAYS A GOOD TIME TO CHANGE 

The first step toward getting somewhere is to decide that you’re not going to stay where you are. 

You’re a product of your environment. So choose an environment that will best develop you toward your goals. 

Analyze your life in terms of your environment. Are the things around you helping you toward your success or are they holding you back? 

Your world today is a living expression of how you are using and have used your mind. It’s something that you can change at any time. 

You don’t have to remain a captive of your environment. 

Don’t say “If I could change, I would change,” Say “I can change, and I will change.”

 

MOUNTAINS ARE CLIMBED ONE STEP AT A TIME

MOUNTAINS ARE CLIMBED ONE STEP AT A TIME

Everyone who got where they are had to begin where they were. Your opportunity for success is right in front of you.

To attain success or to reach your goal, don’t worry about having all the answers in advance. You just need to have a clear idea of your goal and move toward it.

Don’t procrastinate when faced with a difficult problem. Break your problems into parts and handle one part at a time.

Develop a tendency toward action. You can make something happen today. Break your big plan for success into small steps and take the first step right away.

Success starts with a first step.

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING

You can respond positively or negatively to any situation.

Your attitude is not determined by circumstances, but by how you respond to your circumstances.

Any challenge facing you is not as important as your attitude towards it, for that will determine your success or failure.

It’s how you react to events, not the events themselves, that determines your attitude.

YOU CAN RISE ABOVE REALITY

YOU CAN RISE ABOVE REALITY

Courage is the power to face your difficulties. It comes from the reserves of your mind that are more powerful then any of your outside circumstances.

When you recognize that you are bigger than your problems, you gain the courage necessary to overcome anything.

Your obstacles will 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.

You are more important than any of your problems.
