YOU WIN, WHEN YOU AREN’T AFRAID TO LOSE

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

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.

Indeed, most changes in your life will be due to either “inspiration” or “desperation.”

Personal growth is the process of responding positively to change. Whatever comes your way, give it meaning and transform it into something of value.

A precious stone cannot be polished without friction, nor humanity perfected without trials.

THERE IS NO SUCCESS WITHOUT HARDSHIP

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.

Success is not measured by what you accomplish. It’s measured by the opposition you encounter, and the courage with which you maintain your struggle against the odds.

You’ll find all things are difficult before they are easy. The greater your obstacles, the more glory in overcoming them.

So, make up your mind before you start that sacrifice is part of the package.

No pain, no gain; No thorns, no throne; No cross, no crown.

You’ve got to go through the negative before you get to the positive.

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

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

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.
