The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your
thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly.



If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had
them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop
you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up.
Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Your chances of success are directly proportional to the degree of pleasure you derive from what you do.



Our business in life is not to get ahead of others but to get ahead of ourselves - to break our own records, to outstrip our yesterdays by our today; to do the little parts of our work with more force than ever before.



I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

Blessed are those who can give without remembering and take without forgetting.


The reason a lot of people do not recognize opportunity is
because it usually goes around wearing overalls looking like hard
work.



Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way
to succeed is always to try just one more time.

The greatest motivation is success.

What better way to motivate ourselves to move towards our
goals than to have the object of our fascination as a source
of motivation? If we want to live in a bigger house, let
that house be our motivation. If we want to have a better
job, let that new job with a big paycheck be our motivation.
And if we want to have an international business, why not
let that international business give us the nudge we need to
trudge forward.

We understand that the biggest obstacle and challenge to
being successful is the lack of motivation. Sometimes, when
we're halfway through a journey, we find ourselves slacking.
It's like writing a novel. Novel writers will happily tell
you about how easy it is to start a project and how
difficult it is to see it through to the end. Achieving
success is a lot like that. You have a million and one
starts, and practically not a single ending. Or even if we
have lots of endings, most of them are premature and way off
mark.

Never lose sight of success

The fastest way to success is to keep your eye on that
success all the time. Consistently. Never peel your eyes
away from the fact that one day, you're going to get what
you want in life. It's not hope. It's not a wish. It's not
even a goal! It has to be a fact. When you think success is
not an option but a fact, the faster you will get it.

Take, for example, Olympic swimmers. If Olympic swimmers
want to get their gold medals, they are trained to go
through a series of mind-boggling workout sessions every
single day and are consistently psyched up about WHEN they
are going to achieve their goals. Not IF but WHEN. Only when
they start viewing the gold medal as a necessity,
envisioning the gold medals hanging from their clothes hook
on their wall will they feel adequately motivated to move
unwaveringly towards that goal.

Surrounding yourself with success minded people

We've personally heard of people who are so geared for
success that they are literally living in a world of
success, enjoying the things that they would enjoy when they
are successful. This plays up the part of it being the
biggest motivation, and when it is all around you, you
cannot ignore it.

By surrounding themselves with successful people or
success-minded people the rewards are limitless. Not only
are their friends able to share their positive views on how
to better reach their goals, they are in the position to
motivate each other and share tips and tricks! Regardless of
what an optimistic person you are, you are still susceptible
to feeling negative, sad, disappointed and impatient about
achieving your goals. Positive and success minded people can
offer a sympathetic and understand shoulder to cry on and
then help nudge you on your way.

A book of vision
And we think there's nothing better than self-motivation.
Try making a book of dreams to help remind you of your
goals. Cut and paste pictures of people or things that can
remind you of your goals, and let yourself smell success
every time you flip those pages.

 i don't get it where u have been is still the same as where u are so u can act where  u have been that is how i see it

that is not true, the location may be the same but the events and activities can never be the same. and you cannot turn back the hands of time and hope to take action then.

you know, to most people, when opportunity present it self, they will postpone action and let that opportunity pass by, and letter "dwell in the past" and hope for that opportunity to come again.

some other persons may delay action by waiting until they graduate from the university, until they got that visa, until they have that job, so on and so forth, whereby forgetting to take the necessary action to attain their goal.

in the nutshell, what the "quote" is trying to teach us is that, THE BEST TIME TO ACT IS NOW.

The meaning of life is to give life meaning.


The most successful men in the end are those whose success is
the result of steady accretion,  It is the man who carefully
advances step by step, with his mind becoming wider and
wider - and progressively better able to grasp any theme or
situation - persevering in what he knows to be practical, and
concentrating his thought upon it, who is bound to succeed in
the greatest degree.

The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem.

You may believe that you are responsible for what you do, but not for what you think. The truth is that you are responsible for what you think, because it is only at this level that you can exercise choice. What you do comes from what you think.


First, have a definite, clear practical ideal; a goal, an
objective. Second, have the necessary means to achieve your ends:
wisdom, money, materials, and methods. Third, adjust all your
means to that end.


Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.

Men often become what they believe themselves to be. If I
believe I cannot do something, it makes me incapable of doing
it. But when I believe I can, then I acquire the ability to do it
even if I didn’t have it in the beginning.
