FEAR IS OVERCOME WITH ACTION

FEAR IS OVERCOME WITH ACTION

One of the greatest surprises you’ll experience in life, is when you discover that you can do what you were afraid you couldn’t do.

Your obstacles will melt away, if instead of cowering before them, you make up your mind to walk boldly through them.

Do the thing you fear and fear disappears. Confront your fears, list them, get to know them and only then will you be able to put them aside and move ahead.

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

The only thing you have to fear, is fear itself.

YOU CAN GO ANY WHERE WITH A GOAL

YOU CAN GO ANY WHERE 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 TRY TO THINK AHEAD

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 GAIN STRENGTH OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

YOU GAIN STRENGTH OVERCOMING 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.

LIFE IS MADE UP OF A SERIES OF EXPERIENCES

LIFE IS MADE UP OF A SERIES OF EXPERIENCES

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.

YOU CAN RISE ABOVE REALITY

YOU CAN RISE ABOVE REALITY

Courage is the power to face your difficulties. It comes from the reserves of your mind that are more powerful then any of your outside circumstances. 

When you recognize that you are bigger than your problems, you gain the courage necessary to overcome anything. 

Your obstacles will look large or small to you according to whether you are large or small. 

Courage is the capacity to confront what can be imagined. It gives you the ability to rise above reality. 

You are more important than any of your problems.

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.

 

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. 

People with goals succeed because they know where they’re going.

YOU CANNOT FAIL WITH A PLAN

YOU CANNOT FAIL WITH A PLAN
Wanting success isn’t sufficient enough to get it.

You have to ask yourself, “What am I going to do to get the things I want?”

Your problem is how to bridge the gap which exists between where you are now and the goal you intend to reach.

You cannot fail with a definite step by step plan, because each step carries you along to the next step, like a track.

All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination.

You cannot get lost on a straight road.
