The beginning of your success lies in your imagination.
Visualize all of the things that you want in your life.
Make your mental blueprint and then begin construction.

You can make your dreams work and produce for you.
Make every thought, every fact, that comes into your mind
pay you a dividend.

Your imagination will show you how to turn possibility into reality.
The will to succeed springs from the knowledge that you can succeed.

Think of things not as they are, but as they might be.
Don't merely dream, create.

Do this, and you can live your dreams.

Success in anything is connected with action.
Successful people keep moving.
They make mistakes but they don't quit.
They hang on long after others have let go.

You must have persistence.
Keep trying is the rule that you must follow
to become successful in anything.

Persistence means taking pains to overcome
every obstacle, to do all that is necessary
to reach your goal.

You must never, never, never give up.

Trouble is the common denominator of living.
It's the great equalizer of life.
Whatever good or bad fortune comes your way,
give it meaning and transform it into something of value.

Personal growth is the process of responding positively to change.
All growth means change and change always involves risks,
stepping from the known to the unknown.

All of your growth depends on activity.
It only comes from continuous effort and struggle.

Life chips and pounds you to bring out your possibilities.
She will strip you of wealth, humble your pride,
humiliate your ambition, let you down from the ladder of fame,
and discipline you in a thousand different ways,
if she can develop a little character - everything gives way to that.

Wealth is nothing, position is nothing, fame is nothing.
Who you become inside is everything.

What happens to you is not as important as how you react
to what happens.

"There is no fear in love; instead, perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. So the one who fears has not reached perfection in love. We love because He first loved us." I John 4:18-19

You cannot have success without dealing with problems.
Look for your opportunity in every difficulty instead of being paralyzed
at the thought of difficulty in every opportunity.

Each new experience brings with it the seed of your success.
Even your current difficulties have within them opportunity.

Welcome your problems as opportunities.
Each moment is your greatest challenge and the best thing
that ever happened to you.

The more difficult your problem, the greater the challenge
in working it out.

When it's dark enough, you can see the stars.

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.

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

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

The only thing you have to fear is fear itself.
When you face the things that scare you, you open the door to freedom.

There is no investment you'll ever make that will pay you so well as
the effort to scatter sunshine and good cheer where ever you are.

The deepest principal in human nature is the craving to be appreciated.

If you treat someone as if they were what they ought to be and could be,
they will become what they ought to be and could be.

Everyone thrives on being appreciated, loved and needed.
There is no stimulus like that which comes from the consciousness
of knowing that others believe in you.

Applaud others when they run.
Console them when they fail.
And cheer them when they recover.

As water is to a flower, so is praise to the heart of another.

Your present situation doesn't determine where you can go,
it merely determines where you're starting from.

The purpose of a goal is to focus your attention on your future.
Real magic begins when you set one.

Your power to accomplish anything becomes a reality when you have a goal.
Your mind will stretch toward achievement when it has a clear objective.

A goal gives you a place to start and a final destination.

You'll achieve the success you seek, if you focus the full power
of all you are on what you have a burning desire to achieve.

Act on those dreams and they are yours.

There are no age limits on when you can transform your life.
Change is possible at any time.
It is essential if you want to grow.

You have control over your life.
Success or failure is up to you.

You control how lucky you are.
You create your wealth with your effort.

The doubts you'll experience along the way are part of life.

Make a plan to attain your success and stick to it.
Your life is a marathon, not a short sprint.

Accept total responsibility for your actions
and remove  "QUIT" from your vocabulary.

Decide you want success and it can be yours.
Success is always your choice.
