DESIRE IS THE STARTING POINT OF SUCCESS

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.

As a drowning soul desires air, as a shipwrecked person craves fresh water, so must you feel that intense, eager, insistent, demanding, ravenous desire for your success.

Your desire for success must be so strong within you that it becomes the very breath of your life. It must be your first thought when you wake up, and your last thought when you go to bed at night.

You can have anything you want if you go after it with intensity.

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.

If you can get up the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.

The only true failure lies in the failure to start. Eighty per cent of success is showing up.

Winning starts with beginning.

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.

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.

View your problems as opportunities. When it’s dark enough you can see the stars.

SUCCESS IS A CHOICE YOU MAKE

SUCCESS IS A CHOICE YOU MAKE

Success or failure? It’s always your choice. You alone have the responsibility to shape your life.

Once you understand this, nothing and no one can deny you success. There’s really no one to stop you but yourself.

More powerful than all the success slogans ever written is the realization that everyone has but one boss. That boss is you.

Your life will always be to a large extent what you make of it. No one can cheat you out of ultimate success but you.

If you want to be successful, you can be successful.

MAKE YOUR OWN OPPORTUNITIES

MAKE YOUR OWN OPPORTUNITIES

Success is something you have to pursue, it’s not something you can wait for. Your destiny isn’t a matter of chance, it’s a matter of choice.

Don’t wait for an extraordinary opportunity. Seize common occasions and make them great. Your greatest opportunities will often come disguised in the form of misfortune or temporary defeat.

Start where you are. Act on your dreams and you can live them. There are golden opportunities all around you.

EVERYTHING HAS A PRICE

EVERYTHING HAS A PRICE

There is no easy road to success. You’ve got to work a great deal harder than most people to get it.

Nothing worthwhile will come easily to you. Hard work will accomplish results that last.

No one has a corner on success. Pay the price for it and it’s yours. No matter what you want from life you’ve got to give up something to get it.

There is no success at bargain basement prices. You’ll find that the highway to success is a toll road.

YOU MUST ACT ON YOUR DREAMS

YOU MUST ACT ON YOUR DREAMS

You have to make your own opportunities. Your future is not a matter of chance. It’s a matter of your choice.

It’s not something you wait for. It’s something you must actively pursue.

Don’t wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great. Opportunity can come disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat.

Start today, right where you are. Distant fields will always appear greener. Yet, golden opportunities are all around you.

You can live a great dream if you pursue it.

YOU CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING

YOU CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING

The only thing that stands between you and what you want from life, is simply the will to pursue it and the faith to believe that it is possible.

You can have anything on earth that you want, once you mentally accept the fact that you can have it.

If you want success, begin thinking of yourself as a success. The feeling of being successful has to come first.

If you have a deep inner conviction that you will always have all that you need, if you actually feel prosperous, it will be so.

Only your mind sets your limits.

THE SECRET TO CONFIDENCE

THE SECRET TO CONFIDENCE

Is preparation.

With practice you’ll come to a point of competence. You’ll find yourself accomplishing your goals gracefully and confidently.

It’s then that you’ll do things that you never dreamed you could do. You’ll discover powers you never knew existed.

If you’re prepared, you’re able to feel confident.

There can be no great courage when there is no confidence or assurance. Half the battle is in the conviction that you can accomplish what you undertake.

Confidence doesn’t come out of nowhere. It’s the result of constant work and dedication.
