One of the most essential things you need to do for yourself is to choose a goal that is important to you. Perfection does not exist – you can always do better and you can always grow.
As you reach your goals, set new ones. That is how you grow and become a more powerful person.
If you put your mind to doing whatever it is you want to do, good things can happen.
I didn’t come here to be average.
I know that I have the ability to achieve the object of my Definite Purpose in life, therefore, I demand of myself persistent, continuous action toward its attainment, and I here and now promise to render such action.
Set your target and keep trying until you reach it.
Achieve self-mastery over your thoughts, and constantly direct them toward your goals and objectives. Learn to focus your attention on the goals that you want to achieve and on finding ways to achieve those goals.
You can be anything you want to be, if only you believe with sufficient conviction and act in accordance with your faith; for whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.
There is one quality which one must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning desire to possess it.
Reduce your plan to writing. The moment you complete this, you will have definitely given concrete form to the intangible desire.
What a different story men would have to tell if only they would adopt a DEFINITE PURPOSE, and stand by that purpose until it had time to become an all-consuming obsession!
If you don’t go after what you want, you’ll never have it.
I will persist until I succeed!
The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals and achieving them.
My dreams are worthless, my plans are dust, my goals are impossible. All are of no value unless they are followed by action.
Set your course by the stars, not by the lights of every passing ship.
A good system shortens the road to the goal.
Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.
Excellence is the gradual result of always striving to do better.
We aim above the mark to hit the mark.
