YOU CAN TURN YOUR DREAMS TO 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. Have you ever thought of the cost to arrange a funeral? And comparing it with the cost of staying alive – I mean successful? The truth of the matter is many think they are alive but are either dead-broke or dead as in DEAD. But the good news is that dreams can come though the light and those dreams can for you reality.

See things as you would have them be instead of as they are. Develop a Daily Action Plan that focuses on what you want, not on what you have.

Your imagination will show you how to turn your possibilities into reality. Visualize your goals and your subconscious will begin to work toward making those mental pictures come true.If you picture yourself vividly as winning, that alone will contribute immeasurably to your success.
Knowing your destination is all you need to get there.

YOU CAN RISE ABOVE REALITY.

Courage is the power to face your difficulties. It comes from the reserves of your mind that are more powerful than any of your outside circumstances. It is said that you should never allow someone else’s opinion form your reality – because many people would define you before saying a word to them.

When you recognize that you are bigger than your problems, you gain the courage necessary to overcome everything – and when I mean everything I mean everything.

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 reality.

You are more important than any of your problems – because before your problem was you were. You did it back then and you can do it again. Let that stay with you through this winter season.

YOU CAN BE A WINNER IF YOU PLAN AHEAD

You gain the advantage in any situation through one medium: TIME. You can do things before they need to be done – you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. You can position yourself ahead of time in the best place.

Think ahead of any approaching action. Make a plan and you will always have the advantage. Let your advance worrying become advance thinking and planning.
The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining.

In life, as in chess, forethought wins.

You Can See Your Future With A Vision.

Study your present situation thoroughly. Go over in your imagination the various courses of action possible to you. Visualize the consequences which can follow from each course. Pick out the course which gives you the most promise and go ahead.

Many successful people use this skill of mental visualization. They mentally run through important events before they happen.

Picture yourself in your mind’s eye as already having achieved your goal. See yourself doing the things you’ll be doing when you've reached your goal. You can put your subconscious to work toward making your mental pictures come true. Go over your day in your imagination before you begin it. You can begin acting successfully at any moment.

See the things you want as already yours. Think of them as yours, as already in your possession. You can see your future with a vision and live your dreams.

A GOAL CAN TAKE YOU ANYWHERE.

A life without purpose is like a ship without a rudder. Goals are dreams that are written down go a long way in knowing WHY, WHEN, and HOW they are achieved. The purpose of a goal is to focus your attention. Your mind will reach toward achievement only when it has a goal.

There is no achievement without goals. Establish a goal worth working for. Your goal will keep you going in tough times. Always have something ahead of you. Continuously visualize your next step. Keep moving after you achieve your goal and set another. Momentum is maintained by always having something to look forward to. Constantly give yourself something to work for.

Do what you can do well, and do well whatever you can do and you'll achieve any goal that you set for yourself. You can plant your dream with a goal.

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS ALL THE TIME

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.

Opportunity is around you all the time, but you have to be ready for it. A Motivational speaker once said “I’ll rather be prepared for an opportunity and don’t get one than get one and not be prepared”. 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; for opportunity seldom come labelled. The season of failure is the best time for sowing the seeds of success. Success and failure are alike – they are both product of consistent effort. The tide of opportunity comes to everyone.
Even to you.

Success Is A Choice

There are no age limits on when you can transform your life. Change is possible at any time. It is essential if you want to grow. You have control over your life. Success or failure is up to you. “Many live their life likea candle in the wind Never fading with the sunset but When the rain sets in…”. The truth is do you wish to live your life that way or change it with a positive ideology – “no matter what comes my way, I’m going all the way?” It’s a matter of choice – a product of your decision.

You control how lucky you are. You create your wealth with your effort. The doubts you'll experience along the way are part of life. Make a plan to attain your success and stick to it. Your life is a marathon, not a short sprint.

Accept total responsibility for your actions and remove "QUIT" from your vocabulary. Decide you want success and it can be yours. Success is always your choice.

YOUR TRIALS AND SORROWS DEVELOP YOU

Trouble is the common denominator of living. It's the great equalizer of life. Whatever good or bad fortune comes your way, give it meaning and transform it into something of value.

Personal growth is the process of responding positively to change – “Personal growth equates income.” All growth means change and change always involves risks, stepping from the known to the unknown. All of your growth depends on activity. It only comes from continuous effort and struggle.

Life chips and pounds you to bring out your possibilities. She will strip you of wealth, humble your pride, humiliate your ambition, let you down from the ladder of fame, and discipline you in a thousand different ways, if she can develop a little character - everything gives way to that. Remember this “impression management rules the world.”

Wealth is nothing, position is nothing, and fame is nothing. Who you become inside is everything. What happens to you is not as important as how you react to what happens.

IN THE MIDDLE OF DIFFICULTY LIES OPPORTUNITY‏

You cannot have success without dealing with problems. Look for your opportunity in every difficulty instead of being paralyzed at the thought of difficulty in every opportunity. Each new experience brings with it the seed of your success. Even your current difficulties have within them opportunity. Like the Bible tells us that “…even the darkness shall be light to thee”

Welcome your problems as opportunities. Each moment is your greatest challenge and the best thing that ever happened to you; for opportunity seldom comes labeled.

The more difficult your problem, the greater the challenge in working it out. When it's dark enough, you can see the stars.

EVERYTHING HAS A PRICE

No one has a corner on success. Success is for everyone – anyone; whosoever that can pay the price for it, success is yours.

There is no easy road to success. You’ve got to work a great deal harder than most people to get it. Like many successful people would say – “do the things today others won’t do in order to have the things tomorrow others won’t have.” Nothing worthwhile will come easily to you. Hard work will accomplish results that last.

No matter what you want from life, you've got to give up something to get it. There is no success at bargain basement prices. You'll find that the highway to success is a toll road. Some say that OPPORTUNITY seldom comes labelled. Its true!

SUCCESS IS A DETERMINED ACTION AWAY

Foolish people with all their other thoughts, have this one too. They are always getting ready to live, but never living. Your success will start when you begin to pursue it. To reach your goal or to attain success, you don't need to know all the answers in advance.
You just need to have a clear idea of what your goal is.

Don't procrastinate when faced with difficult problems. Break your problems into parts, and handle one part at a time – “one day at a time”.

Develop tendencies toward taking action. You can make something happen right now. Divide your big plan into small steps and take that first step right away, everyone who got where they are had to begin where they were. Your big opportunity is where you are right now.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. Take it.

OPPORTUNITY APPEARS WHEN YOU ARE READY

Chance is turned into good fortune by successful people. You are surrounded by all kinds of opportunity. Luck is being at the right place at the right time. Taking advantage of an opportunity is always under your control. When you are mentally prepared the right opportunity will present itself.

Talent alone won't make you successful. Neither will being at the right place at the right time unless you are ready. When the student is ready, the teacher appears.

Vision Your Goals

See things as you would have them be instead of as they are. Visualize your goals and your subconscious will go to work toward making your mental pictures come true. You have been given 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.

Picture yourself as winning, and that alone will contribute immeasurably to your success. What you see in your mind you can really have.

THERE IS NO SUCCESS WITHOUT HARDSHIP

The world is so constructed that if you wish to enjoy its pleasures, you must also endure its pains. Like it or not, you cannot have one without the other. Success is not measured by what you accomplish. It's measured by the opposition you encounter, and the courage with which you maintain your struggle against the odds.

You'll find all things are difficult before they are easy. The greater your obstacles, the more glory in overcoming them. So, make up your mind before you start that sacrifice is part of the package.

No pain, no gain;
No thorns, no throne;
No cross, no crown.

YOU CAN OPEN ANY DOOR WITH CONCENTRATION

The first law of SUCCESS is concentration. Bend all of your energies to one point, and go directly to that point, looking neither to the right nor the left. Just like those guys that meditate and within seconds a candle can go off or on. Concentration is the magic key that opens the door to accomplishment. In time, you can become what you earnestly desire to be, if you set your face in the direction of the things you want and bring all your powers to bear towards its attainment.

When your physical and mental resources are focused, your power to solve problems multiplies tremendously. To do two things at once is to do neither. Success is the result of well directed energy. Just like a sniper who points its gun at a set target and waits patiently till it locks, where he pulls the trigger and down goes the target. Focus is the key to concentration whereas concentration leads to success.

Nothing can add more power to your life as much as concentrating all your energies on a limited set of targets. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus.

Dream On!

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 attain, the image of health, efficiency and success. Reason? There are three things that are of great importance to all men and they include TIME – MONEY – HEALTH. If man can have these three things in a good proportion the poor would die less and the rich would struggle less.

You can lift yourself by your thoughts. Your vision will help 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 toward destiny.You can live your dreams.

Start - And Move on!

The only way to start to improve your life is to START. Once you're sure you're on the right road there is no need to plan your journey too far ahead. Don't burden yourself with doubts and fears as to the obstacles that may bar your progress.You can only take one step at a time.

You don't need to know all the answers in advance. Just maintain a clear idea of the goal you want to reach and the answers will come in their own time. If you can get up the courage to begin, you'll have the courage to succeed.

It's the job you never start that takes the longest to finish. Go after what you want and you'll get it. Eighty percent of success is showing up.

BEAUTIFUL

Everyday with you is so wonderful
For in everyway you remain beautiful
Words can't elucidate the joy of having you
For you make dark moments skyblue.

Your friends do feel that you are delirious
Mine feels that I am not serious
For they feel that our path should not cross
But they can’t stop our friendship to gloss

No mater what they say or do
We’ll remain the song inside the tune
Full of success down the road we go
Never changing, for we were made so.

Our friends’ slanders won't bring us down
Misunderstandings won't make us frown.
We’d stay together because it's wonderful
Together we’ll make this world so beautiful.

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. A great man once said “I’d rather have the effort of 100 men doing 1% each than to have my 100% effort doing 1 Job”.

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. For God won’t ask you what you did for yourself but how well you helped those that come on your way.

You're not an isolated island. You're a piece of the planet, a piece of the universe. Personal relationships are the fertile soil from which all advancement, all success, all achievement in real life grows. When you help someone's boat across a river, you'll find your own boat has reached the shore too.

This is the word of GOD!

SUCCESS IS THE RESULT OF WELL DIRECTED ENERGY

The first rule of success, and one that supersedes all others, is to have energy. It's important to know how to concentrate it. Focus your energy on important matters instead of frittering it away on meaningless things.

Nothing will add more power to your life then concentrating all your energies on a limited set of goals. You must focus the full power of all you are on what you have a burning desire to achieve if you truly want to be successful.

Gather in your resources, rally all your faculties, marshal all your energies, and focus all your capacities upon attaining your objectives. You must be single minded, and drive for the things you have decided upon.
