I don’t focus on what I’m up against. I focus on my goals and I try to ignore the rest.
Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life – think of it, dream of it, and live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, that is how great spiritual giants are produced.
That’s been one of my mantras – focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.
Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun’s rays do not burn until brought to a focus.
Make at least one definite move daily toward your goal.
We become what we think about most of the time, and that’s the strangest secret.
The strangest secret in the world is that you become what you think about.
Big achievements come one small advantage at a time, one step at a time, one day at time.
Walk away from the 97% crowd. Don’t use their excuses. Take charge of your own life.
Failure is an inside job. So is success. If you want to achieve, you have to win the war in your thinking first. You can’t let the failure outside you get inside you.
Make each day your masterpiece. Life is now. Life is not later on.
In the end, it is the person you become, not the things you have achieved, that is the most important.
Confine yourself to the present.
You always have to focus in life on what you want to achieve.
There is no magic to achievement. It’s really about hard work, choices, and persistence.
We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own ‘to do’ list.
Focus on the possibilities for success, not on the potential for failure.
Life is available only in the present moment.
Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.
If you can think about what you want in your mind, and make that your dominant thought, you will bring it into your life.
