"It only takes one lie to taint your entire testimony in a court of law. Honesty is a vital part of having a good reputation."
~ Jim Rohn
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE TO A WILLING HEART
You can do anything in this world you want to do, but you must want to do it badly enough.
You really can have everything you want, if you go after it. You have to want it first.
The first ingredient of success is desire.
Do you know what you want? Your desire is the planting of your seed.
Your desire for success must be so strong within you that it's the very breath of your life.
It must be your first thought when you wake in the morning,
and your last thought when you go to bed at night.
You can be whatever you make up your mind to be.
What's in your mind is all that counts.
"First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination."
~ Napoleon Hill: a personal success author and lecturer
"In all things, be willing to listen to people around you. None of us is really smart enough to go it alone."
~ John Clendenin
"People keep looking outside themselves for the money. It's inside."
~ Stephen Pierce: Internet marketer, author, speaker
"I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we desire contentment. In my own limited experience I have found that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being."
~ Dalai Lama: a Tibetan Buddhist leader
ALL GREAT ACHIEVEMENT TAKES TIME
"Keep trying" is the rule that must be followed to be successful at anything.
Your success will always be connected with your actions.
Just keep moving towards your goal.
You'll make mistakes but don't ever quit.
You may even have to hang on after others have let go.
Persistence means taking pains to overcome every obstacle,
to do all that's necessary to reach your goal.
In the end, the only people who fail are those that do not try.
Your future is a big adventure.
Just remember, all great achievements take time.
There is no detail so small, no thought however fleeting, no word unspoken, no deed mindlessly performed, that doesn't send its vibration into the unseen, where it echoes and returns as more of the same.
And as your cumulative manifestations draw your attention to the stunning and absolute power you have over your destiny, you'll come to see that, really and truly, there's no such thing as a small detail.
You have the keys to the Kingdom... make it work in your favor.
"Business and life are marathons, just like the Iditarod. We have to strategically pace ourselves in order to achieve success."
~ Chris Fuller
"Heaven on Earth is a choice you must make, not a place we must find."
~ Wayne Dyer: Motivational author and lecturer
YOU CAN BE A WINNER IF YOU PLAN AHEAD
You gain the advantage in any situation through one medium: time
You can do things before they need to be done.
You can position yourself ahead of time in the best place.
Think ahead of any approaching action.
Make a plan and you will always have the advantage.
Let your advance worrying become advance thinking and planning.
The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining.
In life, as in chess, forethought wins.
"We have committed the Golden Rule to memory.
Let us now commit it to life."
~ Edwin Markham
"Your power is proportional to your ability to relax."
~ David Allen: Productivity consultant, author, and lecturer
"I remind myself every morning: Nothing I say this day will teach me anything. So if I'm going to learn, I must do it by listening."
~ Larry King
EVERY FAILURE IS A STEP CLOSER TO SUCCESS
People who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed.
Experiencing failure is inevitable on your journey to be successful.
Each defeat is merely an installment to victory.
You'll find that the number of times you succeed is in direct proportion to the number of times you fail and keep trying.
You won't be judged by the number of times you fail, but by the number of times you succeed.
Failure is nothing but education, nothing but the first step to something better.
You can't be a winner and be afraid to lose.
GIVING / SHARING / GENEROSITY
It's best to start the discipline of generosity when the amounts are small.
It's easy to give ten cents out of a dollar; it's a little harder to give a hundred thousand out of a million.
Giving is better than receiving because giving starts the receiving process.
Here's what is exciting about sharing ideas with others: If you share a new idea with ten people, they get to hear it once and you get to hear it ten times.
Sharing makes you bigger than you are.
The more you pour out, the more life will be able to pour in.
Somebody says, "Well, I can't be concerned about other people.
About the best I can do is to take care of myself."
Well, then you will always be poor.
What you give becomes an investment that will return to you multiplied at some point in the future.
Only by giving are you able to receive more than you already have.
~ Jim Rohn
“You never know when one kind act, or one word of encouragement, can change a life forever.”
~ Zig Ziglar
"When your values are clear to you, making decisions becomes easier."
~ Roy Disney
We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing.
~ George Bernard Shaw
People with goals succeed because they know where they're going.
~ Earl Nightingale
"The major value in life is not what you get. The major value in life is what you become. That is why I wish to pay fair price for every value. If I have to pay for it or earn it, that makes something of me. If I get it for free, that makes nothing of me."
~ Jim Rohn
IT'S NEVER OVER UNTIL IT'S OVER
The power to hold on in spite of everything, to endure, this is the quality of a winner.
Your greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising every time you fail.
It's your constant and determined effort that will eventually break down all resistance
and sweep away all the barriers before you.
Persistence means taking pains to overcome every obstacle,
to do all that's necessary to reach your goal.
All great achievements require time. Endurance is the crowning quality of success.
