This is where it begins. A clear vision of your destiny. One day my mentor Mr. Shoaff said, "Jim, if you want to be wealthy and happy, learn this lesson well: Learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job." Overcoming the Negative The beauty of the soul shines out when a man bears with composure one heavy mischance after another, not because he does not feel them, but because he is a man of high and heroic temper. Aristotle Dont be distracted by criticism. Remember, the only taste of success some people have is when they take a bite out of you. Zig Ziglar When you make a mistake or get ridiculed or rejected, look at mistakes as learning experiences, and ridicule as ignorance. Look at rejection as part of one performance, not as a turn down of the performer. Denis Waitley When you face your fear, most of the time you will discover that it was not really such a big threat after all. We all need some form of deeply rooted, powerful motivationit empowers us to overcome obstacles so we can live our dreams. Les Brown If you spend five minutes complaining, you have just wasted five minutes. If you continue complaining, it wont be long before they haul you out to a financial desert and there let you choke on the dust of your own regret. Jim Rohn Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it. Helen Keller

Dont water your weeds. Harvey Mackay As long as you think the problem is out there, that very thought is the problem. Stephen Covey Hatred is the most destructive force on earth. It does the most damage to those who harbor it. Nido Qubein One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesnt pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself. Lucille Ball

Personal Development
Practice the philosophy of continuous improvement. Get a little bit better every single day. Brian Tracy No one limits your growth but you. If you want to earn more, learn more. That means youll work harder for a while; that means youll work longer for a while. But youll be paid for your extra effort with enhanced earnings down the road. Tom Hopkins Read books, listen to tapes, attend seminarsthey are decades of wisdom reduced to invaluable hours. Mark Victor Hansen Income seldom exceeds personal development. Jim Rohn Make education a continuing, never-ending process. Nido Qubein Meaningful success needs a very personal definition. It is built from the inside out. The success of others has nothing to do with your own success. Denis Waitley

Vision All of the great achievers of the past have been visionary figures; they were men and women who projected into the future. They thought of what could be,

rather than what already was, and then they moved themselves into action, to bring these things into fruition. Bob Proctor Our vision is more obstructed by what we think we know than by our lack of knowledge. Kristen Stendahl In the beginning the dream makes the person, but in the end the person makes the dream. John Maxwell To the dull mind all nature is leaden. To the illumined mind the whole world burns and sparkles with light. Ralph Waldo Emerson Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil. James Allen Visualize and think about yourself as you would ideally like to be, not just as you are. Brian Tracy The most pathetic person in the world is someone who has sight, but has no vision. Helen Keller Achieving your vision doesnt mean youve reached the end of the line. It simply means that youve come to a new starting place. Nido Qubein Cherish your visions and your dreams. They are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements. Napoleon Hill Achievers can almost literally taste success because they imagine their goals in such vivid detail. Setbacks only seem to add spice and flavor to the final taste of victory. Denis Waitley

Quotes Zig Ziglar

* Success is not a destination, its a journey. * What you get by reaching your destination is not nearly as important as what you will become by reaching your destination. * Discipline yourself to do the things you need to do when you need to do them, and the day will come when you will be able to do the things you want to do when you want to do them! * Positive thinking will let you use the abilities, training and experience you have. * Other people and things can stop you temporarily. Youre the only one who can do it permanently. * Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. * Youve got to be before you can do, and do before you can have. * The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what you want most for what you want now. * Failure is an event, not a person. Yesterday ended last night. * Character gets you out of bed; commitment moves you to action. Faith, hope, and discipline enable you to follow through to completion. * With integrity you have nothing to fear, since you have nothing to hide. With integrity you will do the right thing, so you will have no guilt. With fear and guilt removed you are free to be and do your best. * If you dont like who you are and where you are, dont worry about it because youre not stuck either with who you are or where you are. You can grow. You can change. You can be more than you are. * When your image improves, your performance improves. * "An honest answer will bring home the fact that the thing holding you back has been that you link more pain or inconvenience with the action than with inaction." Anthony Robins

Thomas A. Kempis Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself and know that everything in this life has a purpose. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross A difficult time can be more readily endured if we retain the conviction that our existence holds a purposea cause to pursue, a person to love, a goal to achieve. John Maxwell Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. Martin Luther King Jr. When we carve out a niche for ourselves in our imagined future, and decide that we wont be happy until we achieve it, we can only feel threatened and anxious over anything that stands in our way. Nido Qubein Let us endeavor so to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry. Mark Twain Make your work to be in keeping with your purpose. Leonardo da Vinci Your purpose explains what you are doing with your life. Your vision explains how you are living your purpose. Your goals enable you to realize your vision. Bob Proctor

Stephen Covey Happiness grows at our own firesides, and is not to be picked in strangers' gardens. Douglas Jerrold Did you ever see an unhappy horse? Did you ever see a bird that had the blues?

Passion Your profession is not what brings home your paycheck. Your profession is what you were put on earth to do with such passion and such intensity that it becomes spiritual in calling. Vincent Van Gogh 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 dont have that kind of feeling for what it is youre doing, youll stop at the first giant hurdle. George Lucas

William James The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions. Alfred Lord Tennyson A passion for life is one of the most attractive qualities in a human being. If you want a teammate or a life mate who loves to be around you, all you need to do is love to be around. Denis Waitley There is no greatness without a passion to be great, whether its the aspiration of an athlete or an artist, a scientist, a parent or a businessperson. Anthony Robbins The work of art must seize upon you, wrap you up in itself and carry you away. It is the means by which the artist conveys his passion. It is the current which he puts forth, which sweeps you along in his passion Pierre-Auguste Renoir

Belief
Whatever you believe with emotion becomes reality. You always act in a manner consistent with your innermost beliefs and convictions. Brian Tracy Somehow I can't believe that there are any heights that can't be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true. This special secretcuriosity, confidence, courage, and constancy, and the greatest of all is confidence. When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionably. Walt Disney If you believe you can, you probably can. If you believe you won't, you most assuredly won't. Belief is the ignition switch that gets you off the launching pad. Denis Waitley One person with a belief is equal to a force of ninety-nine with only interests. John Stuart Mill

If you believe you can, and believe it strongly enough, you'll be amazed at what you can do. Nido Qubein The only thing that stands between a man and what he wants from life is often merely the will to try it and the faith to believe that it is possible. Richard M. DeVos

Motivation/Inspiration A mediocre idea that generates enthusiasm will go further than a great idea that inspires no one. Mary Kay Ash To succeed... you need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you. Tony Dorsett When a goal matters enough to a person, that person will find a way to accomplish what at first seemed impossible. Nido Qubein The clearer you are about the consequences of your actions and the more intensely you desire to enjoy the consequences that your behaviors may lead to, the more motivated you will be. Brian Tracy Love is a better master than duty. Albert Einstein People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing; that's why we recommend it daily. Zig Ziglar The greatest composer does not sit down to work because he is inspired, but becomes inspired because he is working. Ernest Newman

Brian Tracy Discipline is the foundation upon which all success is built. Lack of discipline inevitably leads to failure. Jim Rohn You do what you have to do, to do what you want to do.

What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work. Stephen King
