YOU ALWAYS HAVE ENOUGH TIME

YOU ALWAYS HAVE ENOUGH TIME

Your dilemma goes deeper than having a shortage of time, it’s basically a problem of priorities.

Most people leave undone those things that should be done, while they do things that they shouldn’t be doing.

Set priorities for your goals.

A major part of successful living lies in your ability to put first things first. Most major goals are not achieved because people put second things first.

Is what your doing getting you closer to your objectives? Anything that is wasted effort represents wasted time.

Don’t serve time, make time serve you.

IN THE MIDDLE OF DIFFICULTY LIES OPPORTUNITY

IN THE MIDDLE OF DIFFICULTY LIES OPPORTUNITY

You can not have success without dealing with problems. 

Look for your opportunity in every difficulty instead of being paralyzedat the thought of difficulty in every opportunity. 

Each new experience brings with it the seed of your success. Even your current difficulties have within them opportunity. 

Welcome your problems as opportunities. Each moment is your greatest challenge and the best thing that ever happened to you. 

The more difficult your problem, the greater the challenge in working it out. 

When it’s dark enough, you can see the stars.

NO AUTHORITY IS HIGHER THAN REALITY

NO AUTHORITY IS HIGHER THAN REALITY

Truth isn’t a matter of your personal viewpoint. Learn to see things as they really are, not as you imagine they are. 

Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or who says it. No matter what you believe, it never changes the facts. If they are there, the facts always speak for themselves. 

The truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of people. 

If sixty million people say a foolish thing, it’s still a foolish thing. 

The sky is no less blue because the blind man does not see it.

HAPPINESS IS A BY-PRODUCT OF ACTIVITY

HAPPINESS IS A BY-PRODUCT OF ACTIVITY

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort. The human spirit needs to accomplish, to achieve, to triumph to be happy. 

Happiness does not come from doing easy work. but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demands your best. 

Your personal growth itself contains the seed of happiness. You cannot pursue happiness by itself. There is no happiness except in the realization that you have accomplished something. 

Happiness thrives in activity. It’s a running river, not a stagnant pond.

IT’S POSSIBLE TO LIVE YOUR DREAMS

IT’S POSSIBLE TO LIVE YOUR DREAMS

Your mind is your mental workshop. You can build anything you want in it. 

Visualize what you want in your mind. See it, feel it, taste it, and believe in it. Make your mental blueprint and then begin build. 

First, think about what you want out of life. The beginning always takes place in your imagination. 

Then organize your thoughts into definitive plans. 

Next, it’s time to transform your thoughts into reality by taking some positive action. 

Visualize, then actualize your success.

YOU ALWAYS HAVE A CHANCE

YOU ALWAYS HAVE A CHANCE

You can do anything you wish to do, have anything you wish to have, and be anything you wish to be. 

You don’t know what you can really do until you try.  All you have to do is to act on your dreams. 

You have the power within you to do things you never dreamed possible.  You would amaze yourself if you did all the things you’re capable of doing.  This power becomes available to you  as soon as you change some of your beliefs. 

Use your imagination and look at things as they can be.  You know what you are today but not what you may be tomorrow. 

Your success begins in your mind.

 

YOUR SUCCESS IN ANY OCCUPATION DEPENDS ON YOUR ENJOYMENT

YOUR SUCCESS IN ANY OCCUPATION DEPENDS ON YOUR ENJOYMENT

Loving your work makes the difference. 

If you enjoy what you do, you’ll be successful. If you don’t enjoy what you do, you won’t be successful. 

Your chances for success are directly proportional to the degree of pleasure you derive from what you do. 

If you have a job you hate, face the fact squarely and get out. You’ll never achieve real success unless you like what you are doing. 

Success in its highest and noblest form calls for peace of mind, enjoyment, and happiness which comes only when you find the work that you like best. 

You don’t pay the price for success. You enjoy the price for success. 

Work is love made visible.

CONQUER YOUR FEAR WITH ACTION

CONQUER YOUR FEAR WITH ACTION

Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood. 

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

Most of your obstacles will melt away if instead of cowering before them or procrastinating about dealing with them you make 

up your mind to walk boldly through them. 

Don’t be afraid to take the step you need to take to make positive changes in your life. 

To fight fear you must act. 

Waiting, putting off, or postponing only increases fear. If you understood enough, you would never be afraid.

QUALITY OF LIFE BEGINS IN YOUR MIND

QUALITY OF LIFE BEGINS IN YOUR MIND

It’s not what you have, but what you enjoy that constitutes your abundance. Your real riches are riches in your head and heart. 

Wealth without enjoyment is little consolation. True satisfaction comes from appreciating what you have. 

There are two ways of being happy: you must either diminish your wants or augment your means. It’s always better to appreciate things you cannot have than to have the things you cannot appreciate. 

Your riches will always lie within you, not in your material possessions. 

 

FREEDOM MEANS RESPONSIBILITY

FREEDOM MEANS RESPONSIBILITY

Freedom is the right to live as you wish.

If you wish to free yourself from enslavement, you must chose freedom and the responsibility it entails.

There is a price for every freedom, something to be given up for every liberty.

Its up to you to weigh the price you must pay for each of your freedoms. And everything you want has a price.

Freedom is the opportunity to make decisions. Its the capacity to take a hand in your own development.

Freedom is the right to choose. Its the right to create for yourself the alternatives of choice. No one is free who is not master of himself.

You are free to do whatever you would like. You need only face the consequences of your actions.
