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

Your environment is your mental feeding ground from which the food that goes into your mind is extracted.

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 make you feel that you, too, can become great.

We shape our buildings, thereafter they shape us.

It’s your friends that make your world.

LIFE IN ABUNDANCE COMES ONLY THROUGH GREAT LOVE

There is no force more potent than love. Take away love and your world is a tomb.

Your life echoes emptiness without love. With it, your life will vibrate with warmth and meaning. Even during hardship, love will shine through.

As you look back upon the events in your life you will find 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 matter what else you have.

Therefore, search for love. Once you have learned to love, you will have learned to live.

Love is the most important ingredient to your success.

MAKING CHOICES 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.

YOU WIN, WHEN YOU AREN’T AFRAID TO LOSE

The difference between great and average is how often you take risks.

Accept risk as a normal part of living. View risk as a part of the process of exploring your world.

Make note of the lessons you learn with each chance you take and move on.

Forget about the consequences of taking chances.

Risk opens you to only a temporary change in direction that can set you straight for your next success.

If you’re brave enough to risk, to temporarily live outside of your comfort zone, for a short period of time, you’re big enough to win.

YOU GAIN STRENGTH OVER COMING OBSTACLES

Sooner or later you’ll encounter a crisis in your life, and how you meet it will determine your future happiness and success.

Since the beginning of time, everyone has been called upon to meet such a crisis. Close scrutiny will show you that most “crisis situations” are opportunities to either advance or stay where you are.

THERE IS NO SUCCESS WITHOUT HARDSHIP

The world is so constructed that if you wish to enjoy its pleasures, you must also endure its pains.

Like it or not, you cannot have one without the other.

DESIRE IS THE STARTING POINT OF SUCCESS

The first thing that will contribute to reaching your goal is that you simply want to reach it badly enough. You must learn how to desire with sufficient intensity to be successful.

If you have the desire you have the power to attain success. You can really have anything you want in life if you go after it. But you have to want it.

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.

FIND THE GOOD SIDE TO EVERY SITUATION

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.
