I think it's important to get your surroundings
as well as yourself into a positive state
meaning surround yourself with positive people,
not the kind who are negative and jealous of everything you do.

The biggest lie in choosing is, "I can't."
That is simply not true.
We can do anything we want
If we don't do something,
it is because we have committed our time, energy and resources somewhere else.
We must all suffer one of two things:
the pain of discipline
or the pain of regret...
ASK YOURSELF...
"will this take me closer to or further from, MY GOAL ?"
April 23, 2014
pt of the day
Commitment leads to action.
Action brings your dream closer.
Do or do not.
There is no try.
Don't let the fear of the time
it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it.
The time will pass anyway;
we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use.

Develop your willpower so that
you can make yourself do what you should do,
when you should do it,
whether you feel like it or not.
First we form habits,
then they form us.
Conquer your bad habits
or they will conquer you.
“Whatever we expect with confidence
becomes our own self-fulfilling prophecy.”
April 25, 2014
pt of the day
A commitment without a goal
is like a trip without a map:
odds are you won’t get where you want to be.
For every disciplined effort there is a multiple reward.
I define self-control, in the beginning of life,
as the choice of achieving what I really want by doing things I really don't want to do.
Once this becomes a habit,
discipline becomes the choice of achieving what I really want
by doing the very things I now want to do!
I really believe that a disciplined life becomes a joy
but only after we have worked hard to practice it.
April 26, 2014
pt of the day
Be so strong
that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
Talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.
Make all your friends feel there is something in them.
Look at the sunny side of everything.
Think only of the best,
work only for the best,
and expect only the best.
Be as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
Forget the mistakes of the past
and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
Give everyone a smile.
Spend so much time improving yourself
that you have no time left to criticize others.
Be too big for worry and too noble for anger.
April 27, 2014
pt of the day
Every choice carries a consequence.
For better or worse,
each choice is the unavoidable consequence of its predecessor.
There are not exceptions.
If you can accept that a bad choice carries the seed of its own punishment,
why not accept the fact that a good choice yields desirable fruit?
Destiny is not a matter of chance,
it is a matter of choice.
It is not a thing to be waited for;
it is a thing to be achieved.

Discouragement is not the absence of adequacy
but the absence of courage.
COURAGE is not the absence of fear...
it's feeling the fear & doing it anyway !
It is our choices ...
that show what we truly are,
far more than our abilities.
The aphorism, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so he is,"
embraces the whole of man's being.
It is so comprehensive that it reaches out to every condition
and circumstance of life.
A man is literally what he thinks.
His character is the sum of his thoughts.

It is not the critic that counts;
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles
or the doer of deeds could have them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the Arena,
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly;
who errs and comes short again and again,
because there is no effort without error and shortcoming;
but he who does actually strive to do the deed;
who knows the great devotion;
who spends himself in a worthy cause,
who at the best,
knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
and who at the worst,
if he fails while daring greatly,
knows that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls,
who know neither victory nor defeat.

The definition of success
To laugh much; to win respect of intelligent persons
and the affections of children;
to earn the approbation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty;
to find the best in others;
to give one's self;
to leave the world a little better,
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch,
or a redeemed social condition.;
to have played and laughed with enthusiasm,
and sung with exultation;
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived
this is to have succeeded.

A man with a half volition goes backwards and forwards,
and makes no way on the smoothest road;
a man with a whole volition advances on the roughest,
and will reach his purpose,
if there be even a little worthiness in it.
The man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder
a waif, a nothing, a no man.
Have a purpose in life and having it,
throw such strength of mind and muscle into your work....
I cannot always control what goes on outside.
But I can always control what goes on inside.

No horse gets anywhere until he is harnessed.
No stream or gas drives anything until it is confined.
No Niagara is ever turned into light and power until it is tunneled.
No life ever grows great until it is focused, dedicated, disciplined.
Self-respect is the root of discipline.
The sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to one's self.

It must be born in mind that the tragedy of life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal.
The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.
It isn’t a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled,
but it is a calamity to not dream.
It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars,
but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for.
Not failure but low aim is sin!
SO DREAM YOUR DREAM
and DON'T LET ANYONE ELSE TELL YOU OTHERWISE...
May 10, 2014

A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future.
A goal is what specifically you intend to make happen.
Objectives are not fate;
they are direction.
They are not commands;
they are commitments.
They do not determine the future;
they are means to mobilize the resources
and energies of the business for the making of the future.
Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul.
Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.

I am convinced that attitude is the key to success or failure
in almost any of life's endeavors.
Your attitude--your perspective, your outlook,
how you feel about yourself,
how you feel about other people
determines your priorities, your actions, your values.
Your attitude determines how you interact with other people
and how you interact with yourself.
I cannot always control what goes on outside.
But I can always control what goes on inside.
ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING....
is yours worth catching ?

The galleries are full of critics.
They play no ball, they fight no fights.
They make no mistakes because they attempt nothing.
Down in the arena are the doers.
They make mistakes because they try many things.
The man who makes no mistakeslacks boldness and the spirit of adventure.
He is the one who never tries anything.
His is the brake on the wheel of progress.
And yet it cannot be truly said he makes no mistakes,
because his biggest mistake is the very fact that he tries nothing, does nothing,
except criticize those who do things
Do not be too timid and squeamish...

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.
Only through experience of trial and suffering
can the soul be strengthened,
vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
Far better it is to dare mighty things,
to win glorious triumphs,
even though checkered by failure,
than to take rank with those poor spirits
who neither enjoy nor suffer too much,
because they live in the gray twilight
that knows not victory nor defeat.
