What Goal Do You Want to Achieve?
Determine what specific goal you want to achieve. Then dedicate yourself to its attainment with unswerving singleness of purpose, the trenchant zeal of a crusader.

What do You Love to Do?
You have to find something that you love enough
to be able to take risks, jump over the hurdles
and break through the brick walls that are always
going to be placed in front of you.
If you don’t have that kind of feeling for what it is
you’re doing, you’ll stop at the first giant hurdle.”

Do Something
“The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It’s as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer.”

My Dream
I will! I am! I can! I will actualize my dream. I will press ahead. I will settle down and see it

Good leaders make people feel that they’re at the very heart of

Let Go
Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear.

Follow Your Passions
Many of us are afraid to follow our passions, to pursue what we want most because it means taking risks and even facing failure. But to pursue your passion with all your heart and soul is success in itself. The greatest failure is to have never really tried. Robyn Allan

Opportunity Knocks
OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS ALL THE TIME
The race is not to the swift, nor 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.
Opportunity is around you all the time,
but you have to be ready for it.
When your chance comes,
you must have the equipment to take advantage of it.
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.
The tide of opportunity comes to everyone.

Motivation
MOTIVATION, THE HEART OF SELF IMPROVEMENT
Pain may sometimes be the reason why people change. Getting flunked
grades make us realize that we need to study. Debts remind us of
our inability to look for a source of income. Being humiliated
gives us the ‘push’ to speak up and fight for ourselves to save our
face from the next embarrassments. It may be a bitter experience, a
friend’s tragic story, a great movie, or an inspiring book that
will help us get up and get just the right amount of motivation we
need in order to improve ourselves.
With the countless negativities the world brings about, how do we
keep motivated? Try on the tips I prepared from A to Z…
A - Achieve your dreams. Avoid negative people, things and places.
Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “the future belongs to those who
believe in the beauty of their dreams.”
B - Believe in your self, and in what you can do.
C - Consider things on every angle and aspect. Motivation comes
from determination. To be able to understand life, you should feel
the sun from both sides.
D - Don’t give up and don’t give in. Thomas Edison failed once,
twice, more than thrice before he came up with his invention and
perfected the incandescent light bulb. Make motivation as your
steering wheel.
E - Enjoy. Work as if you don’t need money. Dance as if nobody’s
watching. Love as if you never cried. Learn as if you’ll live
forever. Motivation takes place when people are happy.
F - Family and Friends - are life’s greatest ‘F’ treasures. Don’t
loose sight of them.
G - Give more than what is enough. Where does motivation and self
improvement take place at work? At home? At school? When you exert
extra effort in doing things.
H - Hang on to your dreams. They may dangle in there for a moment,
but these little stars will be your driving force.
I - Ignore those who try to destroy you. Don’t let other people to
get the best of you. Stay out of toxic people - the kind of friends
who hates to hear about your success.
J - Just be yourself. The key to success is to be yourself. And the
key to failure is to try to please everyone.
K - keep trying no matter how hard life may seem. When a person is
motivated, eventually he sees a harsh life finally clearing out,
paving the way to self improvement.
L - Learn to love your self. Now isn’t that easy?
M - Make things happen. Motivation is when your dreams are put into
work clothes.
N - Never lie, cheat or steal. Always play a fair game.
O - Open your eyes. People should learn the horse attitude and
horse sense. They see things in 2 ways - how they want things to
be, and how they should be.
P - Practice makes perfect. Practice is about motivation. It lets
us learn repertoire and ways on how can we recover from our mistakes.
Q - Quitters never win. And winners never quit. So, choose your
fate - are you going to be a quitter? Or a winner?
R - Ready yourself. Motivation is also about preparation. We must
hear the little voice within us telling us to get started before
others will get on their feet and try to push us around. Remember,
it wasn’t raining when Noah build the ark.
S - Stop procrastinating.
T - Take control of your life. Discipline or self control jives
synonymously with motivation. Both are key factors in self
improvement.
U - Understand others. If you know very well how to talk, you
should also learn how to listen. Yearn to understand first, and to
be understood the second.
V - Visualize it. Motivation without vision is like a boat on a dry
land.
W - Want it more than anything. Dreaming means believing. And to
believe is something that is rooted out from the roots of
motivation and self improvement.
X - X Factor is what will make you different from the others. When
you are motivated, you tend to put on “extras” on your life like
extra time for family, extra help at work, extra care for friends,
and so on.
Y - You are unique. No one in this world looks, acts, or talks like
you. Value your life and existence, because you’re just going to
spend it once.
Z - Zero in on your dreams and go for it!!!

Achieving Your Dreams
“There are people who put their dreams in a little box and say, “Yes, I’ve got dreams, of course, I’ve got dreams.” Then they put the box away and bring it out once in a while to look in it, and yep, they’re still there. These are great dreams, but they never even get out of the box. It takes an uncommon amount of guts to put your dreams on the line, to hold them up and say, “How good or how bad am I?” That’s where courage comes in.” ~ Erma Bombeck

Your Goals
YOU CAN’T SUCCEED WITHOUT A GOAL
The indispensable first step
to getting the things you want out of life is this:
decide what you want.
You must first establish your objectives
if you are to accomplish anything in a big way.
Goals give you a starting place and a destination.
People with goals succeed because they know where they’re going.
Determine what you want.
Decide on your major objectives, targets, aims, and destination.
If you don’t know where you’re going, how can you expect to get there?
Goals are dreams that are written down.
Plant your dreams, nourish and begin to live them.
The most important thing about a goal is having one.

The Highway to Success
THE HIGHWAY TO SUCCESS IS A TOLL ROAD
You must give up something to get whatever you want in life.
The greater the value, the greater the sacrifice that will be required.
Everything has a price.
You pay a price if you want to make things better,
and you pay a price for just leaving things as they are.
Nothing worthwhile will come easily to you.
Work, continuous work and hard work,
is the only way to accomplish the results that last.
You’ll find no success at bargain basement prices.

Do You Want Your Success Badly Enough?
IF YOU WANT IT, YOU CAN HAVE IT
If you’re willing to pay the price,
any of your circumstances will change.
If you want something badly enough,
you’re sure to get it.
The key to success is desire.
Obstacles don’t matter very much.
Pain, circumstances or other challenges can be there.
But if you want to do something bad enough,
you’ll find a way to get it done.
Your desire will in time externalize itself into concrete fact.
Your reality will form around your commitment to succeed.
You only have to love a thing greatly to get it.
Desire is the fire of life.

Stop Worrying
The past is finished. Learn from it and let it go. The future is not even here yet. Plan for it, but do not waste your time worrying about it. Worrying is worthless. When you stop ruminating about what has already happened, when you stop worrying about what might never happen, then you will be in the present moment. Then you will begin to experience joy in your life!

Principles
“Without AMBITION one starts nothing. Without WORK one finishes nothing. The prize will NOT be sent to you. You have to WIN it. The man who knows HOW will always have a job. The man who also knows WHY will always be his boss. As to methods there may be a million and then some, but PRINCIPLES are few. The man who grasps PRINCIPLES can successfully select his own METHODS. The man who tries METHODS, ignoring PRINCIPLES, is sure to have trouble.”

You Can Make Up Your Mind to Be Anything
YOU CAN MAKE UP YOUR MIND TO BE ANYTHING
You’re special and unique among all the creatures on the planet earth.
You’ve been endowed with the capacity and the power
to create desirable pictures inside your mind and to find them
automatically printed in the outer world of your environment.
You’ll gradually grow into any condition you desire,
provided you first make yourself in habitual mental attitude
the person who corresponds to that condition.
Picture yourself vividly as winning,
and that alone will contribute immeasurably to your success.

Whatever You Desire
Whatever you desire to have for yourself, find a way to give it to others. That is how you will surely attain what you are truly seeking.
Look carefully at your desires, and the desires behind the desires, and they will tell you much about who you are. Just as importantly, they will show you the unique and valuable gifts you can give to life.
When you approach your desires from a purely selfish point of view, you will always be frustrated and disappointed. Instead, take a step back and see those desires in a more powerful and generous light.
Consider your desires in terms of how they can inspire you to give value to your world. Then, instead of frustration, those desires will be leading you toward success and fulfillment.
Your deepest desires are intensely personal. And yet the best way to express and fulfill them is by bringing their value to as many other people as possible.
Desire can push you powerfully forward. When it does, look beyond yourself and let it take you someplace truly great.
– Ralph Marston

You must take the first step to win any race.
The first step will take some effort and maybe some pain.

Once you’re moving you must keep moving.
Create a definite plan for carrying out your desires
and begin at once, whether you’re ready or not,
to put your plan into action.

you have the courage to succeed.
You can only fail if you fail to start.

Giving
YOU HAVE TO GIVE BEFORE YOU GET
It’s a universal law: You only get to keep what you give away.

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.
The giver’s harvest is always full.
Those that obtain have little.
Those who scatter have much.
Nature does not give to those who will not spend.

Relish your good memories

Sooner or later, those who win
are those who think they can.
The cards you’re dealt in life are less important
than the way you play them.
Every day you face a new deck and new cards.
Carve out a niche for yourself in your imagined future.
Begin immediately to think and feel yourself as successful.
To achieve your goal in life, you need to project your end result.
Think of the elation, the satisfaction,
the joy you’ll feel when you’ve achieved your objective.
Carry these ecstatic feelings with you every day
and they will bring your desired goals into view.
Success is waiting for you.

Your mind is your mental workshop.

The beginning of your success is in your imagination.
Make your mental blueprint

See things as you would have them be

Use your imagination to perceive your new reality
even when it’s not fully materialized.
Remember, you must first clearly see a thing in your mind
before you can do it or have it.
Your imagination will show you
how to turn possibility into reality.
First think, then organize your thoughts into plans.
Then transform your thoughts into reality
by taking some positive action.
See the things you want as already yours.
Think of them as yours,
as belonging to you,
as already in your possession.

You can decide to alter the course of your life at any time.
No one can ever take that away from you.
You can do what you want to do

Nature is constantly at work around you.
Character and destiny are her handiwork.
She gives you love and hate,
jealousy and reverence.
You have the power to choose which impulse you follow.
While your character is formed by your circumstances,
your desires can 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.

Make Time Serve You
Time can’t be managed. What can be managed
are your activities and how you spend your time.
You always have enough time if you use it wisely.
Set your priorities for goal attainment.
Always try to put first things first.
Most goals are not achieved because people put second things first.
All time management begins with planning.
In all planning you make a list and set priorities.
While you’re reviewing your priorities, ask the question:
“What’s the best use of my time right now ?”
Ask yourself: “What is my payoff in doing this activity ?”
“How does this fit in with my long term objectives ?”
“Is what I’m doing getting me closer to my objective?”
Make decisions and implement them.
To choose time is to save time.
