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

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.

STAY IN THE GAME IF YOU WANT TO WIN

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.

YOUR LIFE RESPONDS TO YOUR OUTLOOK

The dreams you choose to believe in come to be.

When you feel in your innermost being that you will achieve what you set out to do, you open the way for miracles.

Choose to believe something good can happen.

Expecting it to happen energizes your goal and actually gives it momentum.

What you expect to happen, happens.

If you expect to succeed, you’ll succeed.

SUCCESSFUL ACTION IS CUMULATIVE IN RESULTS

Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.

Many people take the first step and then stop. Yet, with every additional step you take, you enhance immensely the value of your first step.

All masters of success are chiefly distinguished by their power of adding a second, a third, and perhaps a forth step in a continuous line.

There is no royal road to anything. One thing at a time, all things in succession is the rule of life.

That which grows fast, withers as rapidly. That which grows slowly, endures.

Do not despise the bottom rings in your ascent to greatness.

ALWAYS TRY TO THINK AHEAD

When you think ahead of any approaching action you’ll always have the advantage. You’ll be the winner.
Keeping a little ahead of conditions is one of the secrets of business.

The time to repair your roof is when the sun is shining. Try to do things before they need to be done.

Let your advance worrying become advance thinking and planning. Position yourself ahead of time in the best place for you.

When you do what is necessary, all the odds are in your favor. Do the next thing.

YOU CAN GO ANYWHERE WITH A GOAL

A life without purpose is like a ship without a rudder. Goals are dreams that are written down.

The purpose of a goal is to focus your attention. Your mind will reach toward achievement only when it has a goal.

There is no achievement without goals.

Establish a goal worth working for. Your goal will keep you going in tough times.

Always have something ahead of you. Continuously visualize your next step. Keep moving after you achieve your goal and set another.

Momentum is maintained by always having something to look forward to. Constantly give yourself something to work for.

Do what you can do well, and do well whatever you can do and you’ll achieve any goal that you set for yourself.

You can plant your dream with a goal.

ALWAYS BE PREPARED FOR SUCCESS

There is no shortage of opportunity. Everyday you’re presented with countless opportunities to be, or do whatever you desire.

Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity. Don’t miss out on an opportunity because you’re not prepared.

Your preparation is absolutely essential. To achieve success, you must have self discipline. You must increase your knowledge and develop your skills.

You’re always at the right place at the right time when you’re prepared.

Each one will make you stronger, even though it may be hard for you to realize it at the time.
Life is your classroom in which you’re being tested, tried, and passed.

Always try to stay in the midst of life and activity. Don’t isolate yourself from the action. Your character develops itself in the stream of life.

The setbacks and hardships you endure actually help you in your march forward to success. The world was built to develop your character.

But, life expects you to make progress in reasonable time. That’s why those third grade school chairs are so small.

No one can cheat you out of ultimate success but you.
You must choose the thoughts and actions that will lead you on to success.

You must set your own standards.

Nothing meaningful happens by itself.

It will all come your way, once you understand that you have to make it come your way, by your own efforts.

Only you can hold yourself back, or stand in your own way. Only you can help yourself.

Not in time, place or circumstances, but in you lies success.
