1. SUCCESS IS A CHOICE YOU MAKE
Success or failure? It’s always your choice. You alone have the
responsibility to shape your life.
Once you understand this, nothing and no one can deny you
success. There’s really no one to stop you but yourself.
More powerful than all the success slogans ever written is the
realization that everyone has but one boss. That boss is you.
Your life will always be to a large extent what you make of it. No one
can cheat you out of ultimate success but you.
If you want to be successful, you can be successful.
2. BELIEF MAKES EVERYTHING POSSIBLE
In order to succeed, you must first believe that you can.
The only true limit to your realization of tomorrow will be your
doubts of today.
The only thing that stands between you and what you want from
life, is the will to try it and the faith to believe that it’s possible.
The moment you carry the conviction of belief, in that moment your
dream will become reality.
If you think you can, you can.
3. THE COURAGE TO BEGIN
The courage to begin separates dreamers from achievers.
Your difficulty and the difficulty of everyone who ever desires to
achieve anything worthwhile comes in the movement.
Don’t always be intending to live a new life but never find a time to
begin living it.
Most people fail because they never get started. They don’t go they
don’t overcome inertia, they don’t begin.
Begin to free yourself at once by doing all that is possible with the
means you have.
As you proceed in this spirit, the way will open for you to do
more. The worst you can do is not to try.
4. TO REACH YOUR GOAL REQUIRES PERSISTENCE
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 to 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.
5. WHEN YOU STOP DREAMING YOU STOP LIVING
If you want to enlarge your life, you must first enlarge your thought
of it and yourself.
Hold the image of yourself as you long to be, the image of what you
long to obtain, the image of health, efficiency and success.
You can lift yourself by your thoughts. Your vision will allow you
surmount the highest obstacles. High achievement always takes place
in the framework of high expectation.
What you see is what you get.
You’ll become as small as your controlling desire or as great as your
dominant aspiration. The courage to follow your dreams is your first
step towards destiny.
You can live your dreams.
6. CONQUER YOUR FEAR WITH ACTION
Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.
When you dare to face the things that scare you; you open the door
to freedom.
Most of your obstacles will melt away if instead of cowering before
them or procrastinating about dealing with them you make up your
mind to walk boldly through them.
Don’t be afraid to take the step you need to take to make positive
changes in your life.
To fight fear you must act.
Waiting, putting off, or postponing only increases fear. If you
understood enough, you would never be afraid.
7. THERE IS ALWAYS ANOTHER CHOICE
You don’t have to buy from anyone. You don’t have to work at any
particular job. You don’t have to participate in any given
relationship. You can choose.
You alone steer the course you choose in the direction of where you
want to be today,tomorrow or in any distant time to come. You hold
the tiller.
You can decide to alter the course of your life at any time. No one
can ever take that away from you. You can decide what you want
and go after it.
It’s always your next move.
8. FREEDOM MEANS RESPONSIBILITY
Freedom is the right to live as you wish.
If you wish to free yourself from enslavement, you must chose freedom
and the responsibility it entails.
There is a price for every freedom, something to be given up for every
liberty. Its up to you to weigh the price you must pay for each of your
freedoms. And everything you want has a price.
Freedom is the opportunity to make decisions. Its the capacity to take a
hand in your own development.
Freedom is the right to choose. Its the right to create for yourself the
alternatives of choice.
No one is free who is not master of himself. You are free to do whatever
you would like. You need only face the consequences of your actions.
9. 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.
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.
10. YOU DO NOT EXIST FOR YOURSELF
Your success depends on the support of other people.
The only hurdle between you and what you want to be, is the support
of others.
Put yourself in another’s place, and you’ll know why they think and do
certain things. You can succeed fastest by helping others to succeed.
Always think in terms of what the other person wants. You’ll get
everything in life that you want if you’ll help enough other people get
what they want. Doing things for others always pays dividends.
You’re not an isolated island. You’re a piece of the planet, a piece of the
universe.
When you help someone’s boat across a river, you’ll find your own boat
has reached the shore too.
