The only way to start to improve your life is to start. Once you’re sure you’re on the right road there is no need to plan your journey too far ahead.
Don’t burden yourself with doubts and fears as to the obstacles that may bar your progress. You can only take one step at a time.
You don’t need to know all the answers in advance. Just maintain a clear idea of the goal you want to reach and the answers will come in their own time.
If you can get up the courage to begin, you’ll have the courage to succeed.
It’s the job you never start that takes the longest to finish.
Go after what you want and you’ll get it.
Eighty percent of success is showing up.
“So many fail because they don’t get started – they don’t go. They don’t overcome inertia. They don’t begin.” ~W. Clement Stone
It’s a universal law: You have to give before you get.
You must plant your seeds before you reap the harvest. The more you sow, the more you will reap. In giving to others, you will find yourself blessed.
The law works to give you back more then you have sown. Those that obtain have little. Those who scatter have much. The giver’s harvest is always full. Nature does not give to those who will not spend.
This is the time of year to show appreciation to those you love.
“When I chased after money, I never had enough. When I got my life on purpose and focused on giving of myself and everything that arrived into my life, then I was prosperous.” -Wayne Dyer
You have the power and the opportunity to change your life.
You can make anything you want of it. It’s not difficult, it just takes some effort.See things as you would have them be instead of as they are. Develop a personal plan that focuses on what you want, not on what you have.
Your imagination will show you how to turn possibility into reality. Visualize your goals and your subconscious will work toward making those mental picture come true.
When you picture yourself as vividly winning, that alone will contribute immeasurably to your success.
Knowing your destination is all you need to get there.
Life is made up of a series of experiences. Each one will make you stronger, even though it may be hard for you to realize it at the time.
Life is your classroom in which you’re being tested, tried, and passed. Always try to stay in the midst of life and activity. Don’t isolate yourself from the action. Your character develops itself in the stream of life.
The setbacks and hardships you endure actually help you in your march forward to success. The world was built to develop your character.
Life expects you to make progress in reasonable time. That’s why those elementary school chairs are so small.
Happiness lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.
The human spirit needs to accomplish, to achieve, to triumph to be happy.
Happiness does not come from doing easy work. but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demands your best.
Your personal growth itself contains the seed of happiness. You cannot pursue happiness by itself. There is no happiness except in the realization that you have accomplished something.
Happiness thrives in activity. It’s a running river, not a stagnant pond.
You can learn from other people to make up for your lack of experience in any area of life.
Be open and receptive to the people around you. They have things to teach you.
Take advantage of the people that have made the journey ahead of you. Try to pick the right role models. Don’t look for people that make you feel good or entertain you.
Look for people that can help you. Role models are more than people you like and admire.
The key is to look for people that will help you to be more successful. You can learn from the mistakes of others.
You can learn different approaches to overcoming challenges.
Learning “what not to do” is as important as learning “what to do.”
