THE TIME FOR ACTION IS TODAY

THE TIME FOR ACTION IS TODAY

You must be ready when an opportunity comes before you. Luck is the time when your preparation and opportunity meet.

There is a tide in your affairs, which, when taken at the flood, will lead you on to fortune and success.

By the law of periodical repetition, everything which has happened once must happen again and again and again, not capriciously, but at regular periods, and each thing in it’s own period, and each obeying its own law.

As events tend to repeat themselves, the tide of opportunity will come to you.

Be prepared and your chance for success is sure to come. Seize an opportunity to change your life. You can change chance into good fortune if you are ready.

Look around you. The only sure thing about your luck is that it will change.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

The most successful people in life are the ones with the best information. People with power are people who know how to get things done. 

Knowing how to do something is sometimes virtually the same as having done it. 

Knowledge will come to you when your eyes and mind are always open. There is no knowledge that is not power. Power is the product of understanding. 

You’ll build the power to accomplish your goals by educating yourself. This power comes from knowing how to do something. 

In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king.

 

LIFE IN ABUNDANCE COMES ONLY THROUGH GREAT LOVE

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.

SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE MAKE DECISIONS

SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE MAKE DECISIONS

To control the outcome of anything, you control the action at the point of decision making.

If you let others make decisions for you, you give up control. When you control the decisions, you control the actions.

It’s your life. You decide what you’re going to do with it. If you don’t run your own life, someone else will. You’re in control of your life to the degree that you make decisions.

Take charge of your life, so there is no longer a need to ask permission of others. When you ask permission, you are giving someone veto power over your life.

Take control and start making those decisions. Only you are responsible for your life.

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.
