It is today that tells you if you learned from yesterday, and if tomorrow is possible.
~ John Patrick Hickey
God in His perfect wisdom gave you power to control only one thing in the entire universe, and that is you.
Never base your destiny on things you cannot control and have no power to change.
If you believe that success is only connected to money, you will not last long.
The best decisions are always made quickly and changed slowly, not made slowly and changed quickly.
The fact that you are not perfect may come as a surprise to you but it is not a surprise to anyone else.
Excessive talking about our plans and dreams lessens our energy to do what is needed to achieve them.
A dream comes from within you. It is what you were created to do, so it has always been there.
If you want to achieve success, there cannot be a Plan B.
Money can be the reward for efforts, but it should not be the reason for them. You must have something bigger than that.
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!
People who achieve the greatest success are the people who have the most fun getting there.
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.
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.
There is a universal truth that all successful people know: Nothing is ever done until you take action.
It is amazing to see all that is going on around us and it is people of action who make it all happen.
