WINNING STARTS WHEN YOU START

• To solve a problem or to reach your goal, you don't need to know all the answers in advance.
• But you must have a clear idea of the problem or the goal you want to reach.
• All you have to do is know where you're going.
• The answers will come to you of their own accord.
• Don't procrastinate when faced with a big difficult problem, break the problem into parts, and handle one part at a time.
• If you can get up the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.
• It's the job you never start that takes the longest to finish.
• Don't worry about what lies dimly at a distance, but do what lies clearly ahead.
• Your biggest opportunity is where you are right now.
• When you begin you are half done.

LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT

• The power to succeed or fail is yours alone.
• You alone have the responsibility to shape your life.
• Nothing and no one can deny you greatness once you understand this.
• There's no one on earth to stop you but yourself.
• No one on earth can cheat you out of ultimate success but you.
• More powerful than all the success slogans ever written is the realization that everyone has but one boss on earth.
• That boss is you.
• Picture yourself vividly as winning, and that alone will contribute immeasurably to success.

USE YOUR IMAGINATION TO FIND SUCCESS

• Visualize what you want.
• See it, feel it, believe in it.
• Your mind is a mental workshop.
• You can build anything in it.
• Make your mental blue print, and begin to build.
• The beginning is in your imagination.
• First think; then organize your thoughts into plans; then transform your thoughts into reality by taking some positive action.
• Use your imagination to perceive your reality even when it is not fully materialized.
• You must first see it clearly in your mind before you can do it.
• First visualize and then actualise your way to success.
• You really can live your dreams.
• All you have to do is try.

YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHOOSE

• While your character is formed by your circumstances, your own desires can do much to shape those circumstances.
• The one thing over which you have absolute control is your own thoughts.
• It is this that puts you in a position to control your own destiny.
• Nature is at work around you.
• Character and destiny are her handiwork.
• She gives you love and hate, jealousy and reverence.
• All that is yours is the power to choose which impulse you follow.
• You can at any time decide to alter the course of your life.
• No one can take that away from you.
• You can do what you want to do.
• You can be who you want to be.
• All you have to do is decide on what you want.

SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEY WANT

• In whatever position you find yourself determine your objective first.
• Until your thoughts are linked to a purpose there can be no accomplishment.
• There is no achievement without goals.
• If you don't know where you are going, how can you expect to get there?
• The world has the habit of making room for the person whose words and actions show that they know where they are going.
• Goals give you a starting place and a destination.
• With them, you will be able to determine what it will cost you to get there.
• In your pursuit of them, you will be going someplace.
• Only you can determine what you want.
• You can decide on your major objectives, targets, and aims.
• Knowing where you are going is all you need to get there.

YOU CAN START BEING SUCCESSFUL ANYTIME

• Starting is the key to all success.
• Beginning something new is what people fear most.
• Nothing will ever be attempted if you wait to overcome all the possible objections.
• The great thing is the start, to see an opportunity for service and to start doing it.
• The reason why so little is done, is generally because so little is attempted.
• You will succeed if you can get up the courage to begin.
• The only true failure lies in the failure to start.
• The courage to begin separates dreamers from achievers.

YOU MUST MAKE YOUR OWN DECISIONS

• If you don't run your own life, someone else will.
• You are in control of your life to the degree that you make the decisions.
• To control the outcome of anything, you must control the action at the point of decision-making.
• If you let others make the decisions for you, you have no control.
• When you control the decisions, you control the actions.
• When you take charge of your life, there is no longer a need to ask permission of others.
• When you ask permission, you give someone veto power over your life.
• Only you are responsible for your life.
• Take control and start making those decisions.
• Successful people know how to make decisions.

TO WIN, YOU MUST EXPECT TO WIN

• Believe in your innermost being that you will achieve what you set out to do, and it will open the way for miracles to happen.
• You'll find that life responds to your outlook.
• What you expect to happen happens.
• Expecting something to happen energizes your goal and gives it momentum.
• Your expectation will open or close the doors to your supply.
• Expect great things, work with honour for them, and they will surely come to you.
• Your supply will always correspond with your expectations.
• There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as the expectation of something tomorrow.
• You can't succeed beyond your wildest expectations unless you begin with some wild expectations.
• The dreams you believe in come to be.

YOU HAVE TO THINK BIG TO BE BIG

• Your aspirations are your possibilities.
• You will become as small as your controlling desire, or as great as your dominant aspiration.
• High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation.
• Your mind stretched to a new idea will never go back to its original dimensions.
• Think little goals and expect little achievements.
• Think big goals and win big success.
• The first ingredient of success is to dream a great dream.

EXPECT CHANGE ON YOUR WAY TO SUCCESS

• You must avoid breaking when things don't go your way.
• You are secure to the degree that you can accept change.
• Security comes from being able to bend your insecurities.
• Recognize that change will take place.
• You'll become secure, not by standing still, but by growing, moving, and staying energized.
• Be secure in the knowledge that you can deal with what happens to you.
• Have the courage to bet on your ideas.
• Take some calculated risks, and act on your dreams.
• There is no permanent security on this earth: there is only opportunity.

YOUR SUCCESS DEPENDS ON YOUR ENJOYMENT

• You'll never achieve real success unless you like what you are doing.
• What you do is more important than how much money you make.
• How you feel about it is more important then what you do.
• The more you love what you are doing, the more successful it will be for you.
• Don't set compensation as your goal.
• Find the work you like, and the compensation will follow.
• You don't pay the price of success.
• You enjoy the price for success.

DON'T BELIEVE IN MIRACLES, DEPEND ON THEM

• You don't need an explanation for everything.
• There are such things as miracles, events for which there are no ready explanations.
• In the future, knowledge may explain these events quite easily.
• Any sufficiently advanced technology is quite indistinguishable from magic.
• Seeing, hearing, feeling are all miracles as well as each part of you.
• Seeing is not always believing.
• You know much more than you understand.
• Have the vision to see invisible things.

THERE IS ALWAYS A GOOD SIDE

• Be an optimist and try to see the opportunity in every misfortune, not a pessimist that sees misfortune in every opportunity.
• The optimist sees the doughnut, the pessimist sees the hole.
• You can develop success from every failure.
• Discouragement and failure are two stepping-stones to success.
• No other elements can do so much for you if you are willing to study them and make them work for you.
• View every problem as an opportunity.
• When it is dark enough you can see the stars.

YOUR LIFE IS A SERIES OF EXPERIENCE, SOME GOOD, AND SOME BAD

• Each experience makes you bigger and stronger, even though it is often hard for you to realize it.
• Learn quickly that the setbacks and grief, which you endure, actually help you in your march forward.
• This world was built to develop your character.
• Stay in the midst of activity and life.
• Don't isolate yourself.
• Be among people and things, among troubles, difficulties and obstacles.
• Your character develops itself in the stream of life.
• Life is a classroom in which you are being tested, tried, and passed.
• You're expected to make measurable progress in reasonable amounts of time.
• That's why those third grade chairs are so small.

MAKE YOUR OWN OPPORTUNITIES

• Your destiny is not a matter of chance; it's a matter of choice.
• Success is not something you wait for, but rather something you should pursue.
• Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities to find you.
• Seize common everyday occasions and make them great.
• Opportunities will often come disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary failure.
• You can start right where you are.
• Distant pastures always look greener.
• At this very moment, you are standing right in the middle of golden opportunity.
• Act on your dreams and they are yours.

YOUR MIND IS YOUR LIMIT

• The only thing that stands between you and what you want from life is simply your will to try it and the faith to believe that it is possible.
• Your mind will amaze your body.
• You must find the energy and determination to keep going.
• Keep telling yourself, you can do it, you can do it.
• When you believe you can, you can.
• In belief there is power.
• It opens your eyes, your opportunities become plain, and your vision becomes reality.
• You will succeed when you believe you can succeed.
• The only limit to your realization of tomorrow will be your doubts of today.
• Everything is possible if you believe it is.

OPEN YOUR OWN DOORS TO OPPORTUNITY

• Every situation, properly perceived, becomes an opportunity.
• Distant fields always look greener, but opportunity lies right in front of you.
• Take advantage of them when they appear.
• Start where you are at this moment.
• Success is all around you.
• It is not in your environment, it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others.
• Success is in you alone.
• You don't need more strength or more ability or greater opportunity.
• What you need is to use what you have.
• Learn to seize good fortune, for it is always around you.
• Success doesn't come to you, you go to it.

GOALS WILL HELP YOU REACH SUCCESS

• Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go; they merely determine your starting place.
• The purpose of goals is to focus your attention on your future.
  Magical things will begin when you set them.
• Your power to accomplish becomes a reality when you have a goal.
• Your mind reaches toward achievement when it has clear objectives.
• Goals give you a starting place and a destination.
• Just focus the full power of all you are on what you have a burning desire to attain, and you will achieve success.
• Act on your dreams and they are yours.

MAKE YOUR DREAMS A REALITY

• 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.
• Your personal plan must focus 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 pictures come true.
• When you picture yourself vividly as winning that alone will contribute immeasurably to your success.
• Knowing your destination is all you need to get there.

IT IS YOUR FRIENDS THAT MAKE YOUR WORLD

• Your environment is the mental feeding ground from which the food that goes into your mind is extracted.
• Choose your environment with care...one that is positive, one that lifts you up and gives you wings to soar.
• Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambition.
• Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.
• Don't become a victim of your environment.
• Create favourable conditions through your associations.
• Your own inherent force and energy will compel things to turn out the way you desire when you're surrounded by positive people.
• We shape our buildings, thereafter they shape us.
