Everything you have in your life, you have attracted to yourself because of the way you think, because of the person that you are. You can change your life because you can change the way you think.
When you want something badly enough, you will develop the confidence and the ability to overcome any obstacle in your way.
Unsuccessful people get up whenever they feel like it and the first thing they do is watch television, read the paper, or check email. The rest of the day is pretty much 50% below maximum performance.
Dress for success. Image is very important. People judge you by the way you look on the outside.
Rewrite your major goals every day, in the present tense, exactly as if they already existed.
If you get up by 6am, exercise, plan your day, and start on your biggest task, then your whole day is different. If you do this regularly it becomes a habit.
If you raise your children to feel that they can accomplish any goal or task they decide upon, you will have succeeded as a parent and you will have given your children the greatest of all blessings.
One quality of leaders and high achievers in every area seems to be a commitment to ongoing personal and professional development.
Everything in life is a checklist, whether it’s building a birdhouse or building a kitchen. If you don’t have a checklist, you’re much more likely to forget something.
Committing your goals to paper increases the likelihood of your achieving them by one thousand percent!
It is not failure itself that holds you back; it is the fear of failure that paralyzes you.
You do not need to be different from who you are. You only need to be more of the person you already are.
Every single life only becomes great when the individual sets upon a goal or goals which they really believe in, which they can really commit themselves to, which they can put their whole heart and soul into.
Personal development is your springboard to personal excellence. Ongoing, continuous, non-stop personal development literally assures you that there is no limit to what you can accomplish.
The foundation of lasting self-confidence and self esteem is excellence, mastery of your work.
To be successful, you need to really work hard. And every study in the last 50 years says that successful people say, “I am not smarter than anybody else. I just want to work harder and longer.”
The simple act of writing down a goal and making a written plan for its accomplishment moves you to the top 3 percent.
Never consider the possibility of failure; as long as you persist, you will be successful.
Remember, you only have to succeed the last time.
