Money can be the reward for efforts, but it should not be the reason for them. You must have something bigger than that.
~ John Patrick Hickey
To build a positive attitude you must take some deliberate action. You must be responsible for your thoughts, words, and actions.
A positive mind-set says that you are not a victim to the whims of others or by circumstances over which you have no control.
Success-minded people tend to be successful, confident, and friendly because they act successful, confident and friendly. People feel comfortable around positive people because positive people feel comfortable with themselves.
Nothing builds up your attitude like gratitude. You cannot be depressed, negative, and grateful at the same time.
Without question, positive thinking will do more for you, will make you feel better, do better, let you have more fun, and be liked by more people than negative thinking ever will.
Asking questions is not a matter of weakness or of being uninformed. In fact, people who ask a lot of questions tend to achieve more and learn more than those who do not.
The brain is a wonderful thing. It will always give you an answer to the questions you ask. The problem comes from the questions you ask yourself. Your brain will only answer exactly what it is asked.
Success-minded people need to understand that the best way to learn is to ask questions and listen for answers.
On your journey to achieve your dreams you will face challenges that will test you to the core.
The greatest weapon you have, and the one that will see you through anything, is a settled determination that you will achieve your dream.
Goals need to build like a fire. It starts as a flame consuming all you put into it and burns hotter and hotter the more you work at it.
I believe that each of our lives has a purpose. You have something to do that is unique to you.
The greatest power in the world is choice.
Belief in yourself comes from a positive attitude that sees life as worth living and that you have a wonderful part to play in it.
Each person has the potential to be good and productive, yet I also know that many people never begin to tap their true potential. It is human nature to surrender to the lowest common denominator. We must purposely strive to move ahead and achieve.
Deadlines give us the sense that we are really on our way and that we will achieve the goal – soon!
Those who have learned to behave as winners always end up winners.
People who achieve the greatest success are the people who have the most fun getting there.
On the journey to achievement, you must be learning all the time.
Your thoughts, the way you think is the most powerful influence in your life.
Choice is the greatest power in the universe, and it is all yours.
Those who care how they look care how they live and they will be the achievers.
Reading is one of the greatest gifts given to humankind.
No matter how you choose to act, that is the person you will become.
How we talk effects our lives in two very important ways. It shows how we think of others and how we think of ourselves. The fascinating thing is they always run together.
There is a wonderful power that comes when you know that someone will achieve something great due to your help.
On your journey to achievement, you should never be without good positive materials and people who will encourage you, excite you and give you a reason to move forward.
Books have the power to change and transform your life like few other things you have.
Anyone who is so busy that they do not have time to enjoy what life has for them are just too busy.
Stop making excuses of why you can’t or how hard it is and start making your life matter.
Always remember, success leaves clues.
Always our action counts for our success, not our time.
Here is the truth: The journey to achievement is not a destination, it is only a stop over to the next goal.
Success-minded people know that nothing is without a reason.
Mark this on your wall and remember it always: The greatest single most powerful enemy to success is success itself.
The achievement of the goal is only a stepping-stone to the next, bigger and better goal. It never stops.
There is nothing better in the whole world than to know you have set a goal and achieved it.
I can tell you without question that there is one key element that makes the difference between those who succeed and those who do not. That element is action.
Each of us have a choice to make. Will we choose to achieve our dreams or will we choose to allow others to use us to achieve their dreams.
