OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS ALL THE TIME

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS ALL THE TIME

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.

Opportunity is around you all the time, but you have to be ready for it.

When your chance comes, you must have the equipment to take advantage of it.

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.

The tide of opportunity comes to everyone. Even to you.

EACH FAILURE IS A STEP CLOSER TO SUCCESS

EACH FAILURE IS A STEP CLOSER TO SUCCESS

People who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed.

Experiencing failure is inevitable on your journey to be successful. Each defeat is merely an installment to victory.

You’ll find that the number of times you succeed is in direct proportion to the number of times you fail and keep trying.

You won’t be judged by the number of times you fail, but by the number of times you succeed.

Failure is nothing but education, nothing but the first step to something better.

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

REMAIN IN THE GAME IF YOU WANT TO WIN

REMAIN IN THE GAME IF YOU WANT TO WIN

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

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. 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.

SUCCESS IS DETERMINED ON THE DRAWING BOARD

SUCCESS IS DETERMINED ON THE DRAWING BOARD

It isn’t enough to just want to be successful. You’ve got to ask yourself: “What are you going to do to get the things in life you want?”

Your problem is to bridge the distance which exists between where you are now and the goal you intend to reach. Planning brings your future into the present so you can do something about it now.

Somewhere there is a map of how it can be done. All you need is a good plan, and the courage to press on to your destination.

A well built house is started with a definite purpose and a set of blueprints. Your plan should provide the pattern for the actions you’ll take. Take time each day to study, think and plan.

Plan your steps, then implement your plan, then review your results. Do this frequently and make the appropriate alterations to your plan, and you’ll develop the power that will bring you to success.

No one was ever lost on a straight road.

OPEN YOUR OWN DOOR TO OPPORTUNITY

OPEN YOUR OWN DOOR TO OPPORTUNITY

Success doesn’t come to you. You must go to it.

You don’t need more strength or more ability or greater opportunity.

What you need is to use what you have.

The golden opportunity you’re seeking is in yourself. It’s not in your environment. It’s not in luck or chance or in the help of others.

It’s in you.

There will always be a new opportunity where there is an open mind and a willing hand.

You must make your own opportunities.

YOU CAN MAKE YOUR DREAMS A REALITY

YOU CAN MAKE YOUR DREAMS A REALITY
You have the power and the opportunity to change your life.
You can make anything you want of it. It’s not difficult, it just takes some effort.
See things as you would have them be instead of as they are. Develop a personal plan that focuses on what you want, not on what you have.
Your imagination will show you how to turn possibility into reality. Visualize your goals and your subconscious will work toward making those mental picture come true.
When you picture yourself as vividly winning, that alone will contribute immeasurably to your success.
Knowing your destination is all you need to get there.

MASTER LIFE DON’T LET IT MASTER YOU

MASTER LIFE DON’T LET IT MASTER YOU

Some people are successful in mastering life, while others permit life to master them.

There is a split in you that is very clear. There is part of you that knows what you should do, and a part of you that does what it feels like doing.

Don’t let passion drive you, let reason hold the reins.

Once you understand these opposing forces warring within you, with this knowledge of the truth: you no longer remain a slave. A clear understanding of this will make you the master of your life.

Resistance is your thoughts transformed into feelings. Change the thoughts that create the resistance, and there is no more resistance.

Are you controlled by your thoughts or are you controlling your thoughts? If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self.

If you are ruled by your mind you are a king, if by your body, a slave.

SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE ARE DREAMERS

SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE ARE DREAMERS

Your dreams are your visions of where you’ll be after the battle, your prize at the end of your journey to success. Your goals are the steps you take to finally attain your prize.

Unless you’re willing to work hard and establish some discipline in your life, all of your dreams will be pipe dreams, little mental fantasy trips that will never materialize.

Make concrete steps toward fulfilling your ultimate dream, and start with solid objectives called goals. Your dreams are where you want to go, your goals are how you get there.

The first indispensable step to getting the things you want out of life is this. Decide what you want.

Don’t be afraid to think big and dare to be great. Dreamers are not content with mediocrity. They never dream of going half way.
