GREAT EXPECTATION PRECEDES GREAT SUCCESS

GREAT EXPECTATION PRECEDES GREAT SUCCESS

High expectation always precedes high achievement. You’re as small as your controlling desires, or as great as your dominant aspirations. 

Once your mind stretches to a new idea it never goes back to its original dimensions. 

Think little goals and you can expect little achievement. Think big goals and you’ll win big success. The first ingredient of your success is to dream a great dream. 

You must dream big and think big to be big.

 

RICHES LIE WITHIN YOU

RICHES LIE WITHIN YOU

Wealth without enjoyment is little consolation. Your real riches in life are riches of the head and heart. Satisfaction comes when you appreciate what you have.

While success is getting what you want, true happiness is wanting what you get.

It’s not how much you have, but how much you enjoy that truly matters. Riches lie within you, not in your material possessions.

SUCCESS IS A STATE OF MIND

SUCCESS IS A STATE OF MIND

If you truly want to be successful, start thinking of yourself as successful.

The only thing that stands between you and what you want from life, is simply the will to try it and the faith to believe that it is possible. There is nothing on earth that you can’t have, once you mentally accept the fact that you can have it.

The feeling must come first. If you actually feel successful, if you have a deep inner conviction that you’ll always have all that you need, it will be so.

Whatever your mind can conceive and believe in, your mind can help you achieve.

NOTHING EXTERNAL TO YOU HAS POWER OVER YOU

NOTHING EXTERNAL TO YOU HAS POWER OVER YOU

Great things are accomplished when you believe that what’s inside of you is superior to your circumstances. What you have outside you counts less than what you have inside you. 

You’re more important than any of your problems. You’re bigger than anything that can happen to you. 

Courage is a special kind of knowledge. It’s the knowledge of how to fear what ought to be feared and how not to fear what ought not to be feared. 

True courage is a result of reasoning. A brave mind is always impregnable. 

Reality is something you rise above.

FEAR IS OVERCOME WITH ACTION

One of the greatest surprises you’ll experience in life, is when you discover that you can do what you were afraid you couldn’t do.

Your obstacles will melt away, if instead of cowering before them, you make up your mind to walk boldly through them.

Do the thing you fear and fear disappears. Confront your fears, list them, get to know them and only then will you be able to put them aside and move ahead.

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

The only thing you have to fear, is fear itself.

LIFE RESPONDS TO YOUR OUTLOOK

LIFE RESPONDS TO YOUR OUTLOOK

The dreams you choose to believe in come to be. When you feel in your innermost being that you will achieve what you set out to do, you open the way for miracles. 

Choose to believe something good can happen. Expecting it to happen energizes your goal and actually gives it momentum. What you expect to happen, happens. 

If you expect to succeed, you’ll succeed.

EVERY WINNER HAS SCARS

EVERY WINNER HAS SCARS

Life is made up of a series of experiences. Each one will make you stronger, even though it may be hard for you to realize it at the time.

Life is your classroom in which you’re being tested, tried, and passed. Always try to stay in the midst of life and activity. Don’t isolate yourself from the action. Your character develops itself in the stream of life.

The setbacks and hardships you endure actually help you in your march forward to success. The world was built to develop your character.

Life expects you to make progress in reasonable time. That’s why those elementary school chairs are so small.

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.

TAKING A RISK IS OFTEN YOUR FIRST STEP TOWARD SUCCESS

TAKING A RISK IS OFTEN YOUR FIRST STEP TOWARD SUCCESS

Taking a risk is often your first necessary step toward success. If you don’t take some risks, you won’t get the chance to succeed. While you are trying, you are winning.

The law of averages is on your side. The more you try, the greater your chance of succeeding.

Never get discouraged. Every wrong attempt is another step forward. People that make no mistakes usually don’t make anything.

Make up your mind not merely to overcome a thousand obstacles, but to win in spite of a thousand defeats.

Your mistakes are stepping stones to success and your installment payments to victory.

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