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
as God has given you.

It is not the critic that counts;
not the man who points out
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.

I do not ask to walk smooth paths
nor bear an easy load.
I pray for strength
and fortitude to climb the rock strewn road.
Give me such courage
and I can scale the hardest peaks alone,
And transform every stumbling block
into a stepping stone.
So what is courage?
It is simply acting on what we know we should do,
regardless of any fear we may have.
It is the choice to disregard worry.
It is the choice to do right,
to pursue our dreams,
to be successful people,
to lead the way for others.

Effort only fully releases its reward
after a person refuses to quit.
Diamonds are only chunks of coal,
that stuck to their jobs !
I'd look at one of my stonecutters
hammering away at the rock,
perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it.
Yet, at the hundred
and first blow it would split in two,
and I knew it was not that blow that did it,
but all that had gone before.
Great works are accomplished with PERSEVERANCE
JUST DO IT
& FEEL THE EXHILARATION OF VICTORY....
GOAL ATTAINED !!!!!!!!!

Excuses excuse us from fulfilling our potential.
Discipline is the refining fire
by which talent becomes ability.
It was character that got us out of bed,
commitment that moved us into action,
discipline that enabled us to follow through.

WE ARE THE RESIDUAL EFFECT OF ALL OUR PAST THOUGHTS & ACTIONS....
Each of us is the sum total of the decisions we make each day
People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success
because they don't know when to quit.
Most men succeed because they are determined to.

“Without self-discipline, success is impossible,

All who have accomplished great things
have had a great aim,
have fixed their gaze on a goal which was high,
one which sometimes seemed impossible.
Any great achievement is preceded by
many difficulties
and many lessons;
great achievements are not possible without them.
Do not let what you cannot do
interfere with what you can do.
The roots of true achievement lie in
the will to become the best that YOU can become.
BE THE BEST YOU, YOU CAN BE....
and don’t worry about what anyone else is doing...

A dream is
your creative vision for your life in the future.
A goal is
what specifically you intend to make happen.
Dreams and goals should be
just out of your present reach but not out of sight.
Dreams and goals are coming attractions in your life.
Hold fast to dreams for if dreams die.
Life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams for if dreams go
Life is a barren field frozen in snow.

Confidence doesn’t come out of nowhere.
It’s a result of something…
hours and days and weeks and years of constant work and dedication.
A total commitment is paramount to reaching the ultimate in performance.
Champions aren’t made in gyms.
Champions are made from something they have deep inside them
a desire, a dream, a vision.
They have to have the skill and the will.
But the will must be stronger than the skill

Perseverance is the hard work you do
after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did.
SUCCESS is not always achieved by the swiftest....
but the one who keeps on running.........
You can do what you want to do,
accomplish what you want to accomplish,
attain any reasonable objective you may have in mind
not all of a sudden,
perhaps not in one swift and sweeping act of achievement
but you can do it gradually,
day by day
and play by play,
if you want to do it,
if you work to do it,
over a sufficiently long period of time.
FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU WANT,
KEEP FOCUSED,
AND NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU GET KNOCKED OFF THE PATH,
DUST YOURSELF OFF AND GO AGAIN....
EYE ON THE PRIZE.....
JUST DO IT

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.

Coming out of your comfort zone
is tough in the beginning,
chaotic in the middle,
and awesome in the end...
because in the end,
it shows you a whole new world
Make an attempt..
Commit yourself to a dream...
Nobody who tries to do something great
but fails is a total failure.
Why?
Because he can always rest assured that
he succeeded in life's most important battle
he defeated the fear of trying.

Ability is what you're capable of doing.
Motivation determines what you do.
Attitude determines how well you do it.
Discipline is the refining fire by which talent becomes ability.
The measure of a man sir,
is not in money, position, station or possessions.
These things mean nothing.
The measure of a man is in his character,
wisdom, ability, aliveness, intimacy, creativity, courage, fearlessness, perspective,
independence and maturity.

or even in several lifetimes.
Stop making up excuses and believing in limits.”

“But until a person can say deeply and honestly,
“I am what I am today because of the choices I made yesterday,”
that person cannot say, “I choose otherwise.”
“The word courage
comes from the same stem as the French word Coeur, meaning “heart.”
Thus just as one’s heart,
by pumping blood to one’s arms, legs, and brain
enables all the other physical organs to function,
so courage makes possible all the psychological virtues.
Without courage other values wither away into mere facsimiles of virtue.”
“You are essentially who you create yourself to be
and all that occurs in your life is the result of your own making.”

and better tools will be found as you go along.

Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you,
they're supposed to help you discover who you are.
Though our challenges are maybe fearsome,
so are our strengths.
Life is a series of experiences,
each of which makes us bigger,
even though it is hard to realize this.
For the world was built to develop character,
and we must learn that the setbacks and grief's
which we endure help us in our marching onward.
“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.
Only through experiences of trial and suffering
can the soul be strengthened,
vision cleared, ambition inspired
and success achieved.”

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 mistakes lacks 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.

The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows.
It's a very mean and nasty place,
and I don't care how tough you are,
it will beat you to your knees
and keep you there permanently if you let it.
You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.
But it ain't about how hard you hit.
It's about how hard you can get hit
and keep moving forward;
how much you can take
and keep moving forward.
That's how winning is done!
Now, if you know what you're worth,
then go out and get what you're worth.
But you gotta be willing to take the hits,
and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody.
Cowards do that and that ain't you.
You're better than that!
I'm always gonna love you, no matter what.
No matter what happens.
You're my son and you're my blood.
You're the best thing in my life.
But until you start believing in yourself,
you ain't gonna have a life.”

The easiest way to set goals is
to answer the following questions:
What is it I want to achieve?
When do I want to achieve it?
Where am I today
and what action do I need to take to achieve my goal?
Every single life only becomes great when
the individual sets upon a goal
or goals which they really believe in,
which they can really commit themselves to,
which they can put their whole heart and soul into.
Your life is the sum result of all the choices you make,
both consciously and unconsciously.
If you can control the process of choosing,
you can take control of all aspects of your life.
You can find the freedom that comes from being in charge of yourself.

They have surrendered their fight for self-esteem

They have settled for a life of mediocrity,
days of despair and nights of tears.
They are no more than living deaths
confined to cemeteries of their choice.
Yet they need not remain in that state.
They can be resurrected from their sorry condition.
They can each perform the greatest miracle in the world.
They can each come back from the dead...”

“Affirmations are positive statements

If you only speak with your mouth,
without an iota of feeling in your heart and belief in your mind,
then you’re going the wrong way!
You need to feel the vibrancy,
the truth, and the positivity of these statements.
You need to write them on your mind-slate,
create an indelible influence, and engrave them in your consciousness.
You can only do that by following the Three Golden Rules of Affirmations
Repetition, Belief, and Positive Expectation.
Remember,
by making affirmations,
you are consciously programming your mind to think in a certain way,
so that hopeful and happy thinking becomes a part of your being.
Affirmations are a way to train the mind;
and training happens when you practice, practice, practice!
Training requires conscious effort, discipline, belief, and consistency.
That is exactly how you need to practice your affirmations.”
