We Are All Perfect

MySpace: "'We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.' —Sam Keen
There is no such thing as an imperfect person.
Every imperfection is perfection.
No two branches looks alike."

Your Own Inner Core of Steel

MySpace: "“Fear of failure and fear of the unknown are always defeated by faith. Having faith in yourself, in the process of change, and in the new direction that change sets will reveal your own inner core of steel.” Georgette Mosbacher"

Maximum Success Is Achieved In Steps

MySpace: "All progress begins one step at a time.
There is no sudden lead to greatness. Good work, done little by little becomes great work. The house of success is built brick by brick.

You can do what you want to do, achieve what you want to achieve, attain any reasonable objective you may have in mind.
Not all of a sudden, nor in one sweeping act of achievement. You will do it gradually, day by day and play by play.

If you want to do it, if you work to do it, you will accomplish your goal over a sufficient period of time.

Your big accomplishments will be a series of little accomplishments.

It takes many strokes to overthrow the tallest oak."

To make a difference start with yourself

MySpace: "'It's easy to make a buck. It's a lot tougher to make a difference.' —Tom Brokaw

A buck or not. To make a difference start with yourself. When you change everything around you changes."

Dare To Be Great

MySpace: "Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars. ~Les Brown

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal. ~Henry Ford

Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. ~Author Unknown"

See Things As You Want Them To Be

MySpace: "How can you make your dream come true, if you don't have one?
Visualize your goals and your subconscious will begin to work toward making your mental pictures come true.
You'll gradually grow into any condition you desire, provided you adjust your mental attitude to mirror the person who corresponds to those conditions.
If you advance with confidence in the direction of your dreams, and begin to live the life you imagine, you'll meet with success beyond your wildest imagination.
The only way to discover your limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible.

You're the one who can stretch your horizon."

You're More Important Than Your Problems

MySpace: "Courage is the power to face your difficulties. It comes from the reserves of your mind that are more powerful than your outside circumstances.
When you recognize that you're bigger than your problems, you'll gain the courage necessary to overcome anything.

Your obstacles will look large or small to you according to whether you are large or small.

Courage is the capacity to confront what can be imagined. It gives you the ability to rise above your present reality."

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent

MySpace: "“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race”

Calvin Coolidge"

Preparation, planning and you will success

MySpace: "People often handle life as they do bad weather. They while away the time waiting for it to stop. Yet the tide of opportunity comes to everyone.

Opportunity knocks all the time, but you've got to be ready for it. When your chance comes, you must have the equipment to take advantage of it.

The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, for time and chance happen to everyone. Take a second look at what appears to be someone's 'good luck.' You'll find not luck but preparation, planning and success-producing thinking.

When you're prepared for opportunity your chance for success is sure to come. The season of failure is the best time for sowing the seeds of success.

Decide that this year will be your year for success and prepare for it to happen."

Dream, Will, & Test your limits

MySpace: "'To dream anything that you want to dream. That is the beauty of the human mind. To do anything that you want to do. That is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself to test your limits. That is the courage to succeed.' —Bernard Edmonds"

Make Change A Positive Part Of Your Life

MySpace: "You must avoid breaking when things don't go your way.
You'll always be secure to the degree that you accept change.
True security comes from being able to bend your insecurities.

Recognize and accept that change will inevitably 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 anything that 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."

The Seed To Your Success Is In Your Imagination

MySpace: "Visualize all the things that you want in life. Then make your mental blue print, and begin to build.
Your imagination can show you how to turn your possibilities into reality.
You must make every thought, every fact, that comes into your mind pay you a profit. Make those mental images work and produce for you. Think of things not as they are but as you want them to be.
Don't just dream, be creative.
The will to succeed springs from the knowledge that you can succeed."

You Do Not Exist For Yourself

MySpace: "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.

Personal relationships are the fertile soil from which all advancement, all success, all achievement in real life grows.

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."

Make Your Dreams A Reality

MySpace: "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."

Riches Lie Within You

MySpace: "Wealth without enjoyment is little consolation. Your real riches in life are riches of the head and heart. Satisfaction comes when you appreciate what you have.
While success is getting what you want, true happiness is wanting what you get.
It's not how much you have, but how much you enjoy that truly matters. Riches lie within you, not in your material possessions."

Attitude Is Everything

MySpace: "You determine your attitude. You can respond positively or negatively to any situation.
Your attitude is not determined by circumstances, but by how you respond to your circumstances.

Any challenge facing you is not as important as your attitude towards it, for that will determine your success or failure.

It's how you react to events, not the events themselves, that determines your attitude."

Overcome Your Fears With Action

MySpace: "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."

You Only Get To Keep What You Give Away

MySpace: "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."

Freedom Means Responsibility

MySpace: "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."

You Must Make Your Own Oppoutunities

MySpace: "Your destiny isn't a matter of chance, it's a matter of the choices you make.
Success isn't something you wait for, it's something you must pursue.
Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities to be successful. Seize common occasions and turn them into great ones.
Opportunities sometimes come disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat.
Start where you are. You are, at this moment, standing right in the middle of opportunity.
If you act on your dreams you can live them."

Motivated and enthusiastic

MySpace: "Notice what's wrong just long enough to make yourself aware of it. Then let go, and move on to doing something positive about it.
Instead of dwelling on what is wrong, focus on what you can do to make it right. Challenge yourself to find and to follow the positive perspective that will transform the problem into an opportunity.
Don't get yourself stressed out by obsessing about how bad things are. Get yourself motivated and enthusiastic about what you can do to make a difference.
Step back and observe what you are thinking. Choose to fill your mind with useful, creative, empowering thoughts that will point you in a positive direction.
Let go of the thoughts that just intensify your doubts, fears and worries. Give preference to the thoughts that you can act upon to create new value in your life.
What you see most vividly is where you will go. Focus on the best possibilities and you'll create them in your life."

Happiness Lies In The Joy Of Achievement

MySpace: "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."
