To Experience The Satisfaction And Enjoyment Of Success In Life, A Definitive Goal Is Essential. Many People Fail At This Vital Point. The Goal Must Be Definite And Specific, Not In Any Sense Vague Or Fuzzy. And To Prove Attainable, Its Image Needs To Be Sharpened And Resharpened Continually, So That It Stands Out Vividly In Your Thoughts. You Must Know, At All Times, Precisely And For Certain What It Is You Want To Accomplish And Achieve. Strong And Organized Purposefulness Toward A Definite Objective Will Focus Your Powers Into A Strong Motivation In Attainment Of Your Goal.

Think Enthusiastically About Everything; But Especially About Your Job. If You Do So, You'll Put A Touch Of Glory In Your Life. If You Love Your Job With Enthusiasm, You'll Shake It To Pieces.

One Way To Become Enthusiastic Is To Look For The Plus Sign. To Make Progress In Any Difficult Situation, You Have To Start With What's Right About It And Build On That

There Is A Real Magic In Enthusiasm. It Spells The Difference Between Mediocrity And Accomplishment.

Enthusiasm For Life

Think Joy, Talk Joy, Practice Joy, Share Joy, Saturate Your Mind With Joy, And You Will Have The Time Of Your Life Today And Every Day All Your Life.

. . . A Basic Law: The More You Practice The Art Of Thankfulness, The More You Have To Be Thankful For. This, Of Course, Is A Fact. Thankfulness Does Tend To Reproduce In Kind. The Attitude Of Gratitude Revitalizes The Entire Mental Process By Activating All Other Attitudes, Thus Stimulating Creativity.

Avoid Arguments, But Whenever A Negative Attitude Is Expressed, Counter With A Positive And Optimistic Opinion.

Anybody Can Do Just About Anything With Himself That He Really Wants To And Makes Up His Mind To Do. We Are All Capable Of Greater Things Than We Realize.

Our Happiness Depends On The Habit Of Mind We Cultivate. So Practice Happy Thinking Every Day. Cultivate The Merry Heart, Develop The Happiness Habit, And Life Will Become A Continual Feast." ~

Thoughts And Words Form Your Mental Image. And Since We Become What We Picture Be Sure Your Thoughts And Words Express Prosperity And Blessing Rather Than Poverty And Defeat.

Fear Is Never A Reason For Quitting; It Is Only An Excuse.

There Is No Sound Basis Upon Which It May Be Assumed That All Poor Men Are Godly And All Rich Men Are Evil, No More Than It Could Be Assumed That All Rich Men Are Good And All Poor Men Are Bad.

Joy Increases As You Give It, And Diminishes As You Try To Keep It Yourself. In Giving It, You Will Accumulate A Deposit Of Joy Greater Than You Ever Believed Possible.

Keep Thinking, Keep Interested, Keep Praying, Keep Dreaming. Be Mentally Sensitive At All Times So That The Magic Word That Motivates You May One Day Speak To Your Deep Inner Self.

Can You Go A Whole Day With Joy In Your Heart? Joy And Vitality Are An Inseparable Combination. Joy Is Not Concerned With Having Fun; It Is An Inner Spiritual Quality That Overcomes Despair, Pain And Defeat. You Cannot Turn On Joy Like An Electric Light, But You Can Prepare Yourself To Receive It.

Always Remember That Problems Contain Values That Have Improvement Potential.

Nothing Of Great Value In This Life Comes Easily.

Our Happiness Depends On The Habit Of Mind We Cultivate.

Positive Thinking

Eliminate The Word "impossible" From Your Conversation, Drop It From Your Thoughts, Erase It From Your Attitudes. Stop Rationalizing It. Cease Excusing It. Substitute For It That Bright And Shining Word...possible."

Remember: What You Think You Will Become - Good Or Bad, Weak Or Strong, Defeated Or Victorious.

The Way To Happiness: Keep Your Heart Free From Hate, Your Mind From Worry. Live Simply, Expect Little, Give Much. Scatter Sunshine, Forget Self, Think Of Others. Try This For A Week And You Will Be Surprised.

Enthusiasm Releases The Drive To Carry You Over Obstacles And Adds Significance To All That You Do. It Tones Up Your Physical Vitality And Gives Warmth To All Your Personal Relationships. When You Associate With Enthusiasm Long Enough It Grabs You And Takes Over Within You.

Never Tell Yourself ... I Can't Go On. If You Do You're Licked, And By Your Own Thinking Too.

Deep Within The Individual Is A Vast Reservoir Of Untapped Power Awaiting To Be Used. No Person Can Have The Use Of All This Potential Until He Learns To Know His Or Her Own Self. The Trouble With Many People Is That They Got Through Life Thinking And Writing Themselves Off As Ordinary Commonplace Persons. Having No Proper Belief In Themselves They Live Aimless And Erratic Lives Largely Because They Never Realize What Their Lives Really Can Be Or What They Can Become

I Firmly Believe That When You Die You Will Enter Immediately Into Another Life. They Who Have Gone Before Us Are Alive In One Form Of Life And We In Another.

Believe That Problems Do Have Answers, That They Can Be Overcome, And That You Can Solve Them.

Not Every Day Can Be An Easy One, Nor Every Day Fully Happy; But Even A Day Of Tough Going And Difficulty Can Be A Good Day.

If You Paint In Your Mind A Picture Of Bright And Happy Expectations, You Put Yourself Into A Condition Conducive To Your Goal.

Let Go And Let God. Let Him Take Over Your Life And Run It. He Knows How.

Getting People To Like You Is Merely The Other Side Of Liking Them.

The Word Resentment Means To Re-feel...to Feel Again. Someone Wrongs Or Wounds You; In Resenting It, You Re-feel The Injury. And You Re-hurt Yourself. The Hebrew Talmud Says That A Person Who Bears A Grudge Is "like One Who, Having Cut One Hand While Handling A Knife, Avenges Himself By Stabbing The Other Hand."

We Live In The Midst Of The Greatest Scientific Civilization In The History Of The World. But The Greatest Wisdom Walking Our Streets Is Not In Any Laboratory Scientist, But The Wisdom Of Jesus Christ.

Faith Is The Most Powerful Of All Forces Operating In Humanity And When You Have It In Depth Nothing Can Get You Down.

Who Decides Whether You Shall Be Happy Or Unhappy? You Do!

Formulate And Stamp Indelibly On Your Mind A Mental Picture Of Yourself As Succeeding. Hold This Picture Tenaciously. Never Permit It To Fade. Your Mind Will Seek To Develop The Picture... Do Not Build Up Obstacles In Your Imagination.

Congratulations

Change Your Thoughts And You Change Your World.

The Mind, Properly Controlled, Can Do Just About Everything. You Can Think Your Way Through Adversity, You Can Think Your Way Through Problems. It Is A Superpowerful Instrument Which So Few Use To Maximum. And If The Mind Thinks With A Believing Attitude One Can Do Amazing Things.

There Are Two Primary Forces In This World, Fear And Faith. Fear Can Move You To Destructiveness Or Sickness Or Failure. Only In Rare Instances Will It Motivate You To Accomplishment. But Faith Is A Greater Force. Faith Can Drive Itself Into Your Consciousness And Set You Free From Fear Forever.

The Greatest Secret For Eliminating The Infirmity Complex, Which Is Another Term For Deep And Profound Self-doubt, Is To Fill Your Mind To Overflowing Faith. Develop A Tremendous Faith In God And That Will Give You A Humble Yet Soundly Realistic Faith In Yourself.

I Was Brought Up On The Romance Of American Achievement. No Matter Where You Start, If You Work Hard And If You Think Positively And If You Dream Dreams And If You Have Good Character, You Can Lift The Status Of Yourself, Your Family, Your Friends And Everyone Around You. This Doesn't Mean That Your Object In Life Is To Become Rich Or Famous. Just Do The Best You Can With Yourself. I Think That Almighty God Has Put That Into Us And I'm Going To Do The Best I Can With Myself. That's What I Call The Romance Of Achievement. Achievement Means To Be What, By The Grace Of God, You Can Be.

Cultivate Will Power, That Massive Creative Force That God The Creator Built Into You. Do Not Let It Remain Flabby But Strengthen It By Use And Exercise.

If You Want A Quality, Act As If You Already Have It. If You Want To Be Courageous, Act As If You Were - And As You Act And Persevere In Acting, So You Tend To Become.

Action Is A Great Restorer And Builder Of Confidence. Inaction Is Not Only The Result, But The Cause, Of Fear. Perhaps The Action You Take Will Be Successful; Perhaps Different Action Or Adjustments Will Have To Follow. But Any Action Is Better Than No Action At All.

Do Not Always Ask When You Pray, But Instead Affirm That God's Blessings Are Being Given, And Spend Most Of Your Prayers Giving Thanks.

Expecting The Best Means That You Put Your Whole Heart (i.e. The Central Essence Of Your Personality) Into What You Want To Accomplish. People Are Defeated In Life Not Because Of Lack Of Ability, But For Lack Of Wholeheartedness. They Do Not Wholeheartedly Expect To Succeed. Their Heart Isn't In It, Which Is To Say, They Themselves Are Not Fully Given.

Every Night Empty Your Mind Of Unhappy Thoughts As You Empty Your Pockets And Come Alive.

The Right Kind Of Fear Will Keep Us From Doing Wrong. The Rough Is Only Mental - It Is Rough Only Because Your Think It Is.

One Of The Greatest Moments In Anybody's Developing Experience Is When He No Longer Tries To Hide From Himself But Determines To Get Acquainted With Himself As He Really Is.

Self Confidence

It's Always Too Early To Quit.

Stand Up To Your Obstacles And Do Something About Them. You Will Find That They Haven't Half The Strength You Think They Have.

Believe In Yourself! Have Faith In Your Abilities! Without A Humble But Reasonable Confidence In Your Own Powers You Cannot Be Successful Or Happy.

Great Issues Develop From Small Beginnings.

Small Beginnings

Never Allow Sick Attitudes To Poison Your Thinking, Nor Let Ill Will Make You Ill. Avoid Making Your Mind Sore By That Painful Rehurting Called Resentment.

Whatever You Are Doing In The Game Of Life, Give It All You've Got

In A Large Congregation, While There Is A Wide Diversification Of Interest, It Is Also True That There Are Only A Few Basic Human Problems. It Must Also Be Taken Into Consideration That People Are People Regardless Of Who They Are Or What Their Backgrounds May Be. There Are Certain Deep Universal Appeals To Human Interest And To These Human Nature Always Responds.

Never Say Anything To Hurt Anyone. Moreover . . . Refrain From Double Talk, From Shrewd And Canny Remarks That Are Designed To Advance Our Interests At Someone's Disadvantage. We Are To Turn Our Back Upon Evil, And In Every Way Possible, Do Good, Help People And Bring Blessings Into Their Lives.

First Thing Every Morning Before You Arise Say Out Loud, I Believe.

Enthusiasm Releases The Drive To Carry You Over Obstacles And Adds Significance To All You Do.

Enthusiasm For Life

Religion Does Not Blithely Promise Some Sort Of No-trouble, No-problem, No-poverty World; But Rather A Spirit, A Power, An Enthusiasm That Endows Everyone With The Ability To Overcome Any And All Of It.

No Sin Is Committed Merely Because A Thought Enters The Mind, Provided It Is Not Made Welcome. Perhaps We May Use The Figure That The Thought First Passes Into An Anteroom, Where It Stands Before The Mind Acting As A Judge. No Matter How Sordid Or Evil, It Has Not Touched The Personality With Its Infamy Nor In Any Way Laid Guilt Upon The Soul Unless And Until The Mind Acting As Judge Admits It With A Welcome. If The Mind Decides Against It And Dismisses It, The Personality Is Not Only Unsullied But Is, On The Contrary, By This Act Of Rejection Stimulated And Strengthened In Moral Power.

The Whole Trend And Quality Of Anyone's Life Is Determined In The Long Run By The Choices That Are Made.

The World In Which You Live Is Not Primarily Determined By Outward Conditions And Circumstances But By The Thoughts That Habitually Occupy Your Mind.

It Is A Fact That You Project What You Are.

How You Think About A Problem Is More Important Than The Problem Itself. So Always Think Positively.

Four Things For Success: Work And Pray, Think And Believe.

When You Become Detached Mentally From Yourself And Concentrate On Helping Other People With Their Difficulties, You Will Be Able To Cope With Your Own More Effectively. Somehow, The Act Of Self - Giving Is A Personal Power - Releasing Factor.

Empty Pockets Never Held Anyone Back. Only Empty Heads And Empty Hearts Can Do That.

There Is A Basic Law That Like Attracts Like. Negative Thinking Definitely Attracts Negative Results. Conversely, If A Person Habitually Thinks Optimistically And Hopefully, His Positive Thinking Sets In Motion Creative Forces - And Success Instead Of Eluding Him Flows Toward Him.

The Longer I Live The More I Am Convinced That Neither Age Nor Circumstance Needs To Deprive Us Of Energy And Vitality. We Are At Last Awakening To The Close Relationship Between Religion And Health. . . .our Physical Condition Is Determined Very Largely By Our Emotional Condition, And Our Emotional Life Is Profoundly Regulated By Our Thought Life.

Affirm It, Visualize It, Believe It And It Will Actualize Itself.

Think Positively About Yourself.... Ask God Who Made You To Keep On Remaking You.

A Vital Part Of The Happiness Formula Is Self-discipline. Whoever Conquers Himself Knows Deep Happiness That Fills The Heart With Joy.

The Positive Thinker Is A Hard-headed, Tough-minded, And Factual Realist. He Sees All The Difficulties Clearly... Which Is More Than Can Be Said For The Average Negative Thinker. But He Sees More Than Difficulties - He Tries To See The Solutions Of Those Difficulties.

Believe That You Are Bigger Than Your Difficulties, For You Are, Indeed.

The Greatest Measure Of A Human Being Isn't How He Handles Himself When Things Are Going Well, But How He Handles Himself When Things Are Going Badly, When Defeat Comes.

Think Excitement, Talk Excitement, Act Out Excitement, And You Are Bound To Become An Excited Person. Life Will Take On A New Nest, Deeper Interest And Greater Meaning. You Can Think, Talk And Act Yourself Into Dullness Or Into Monotony Or Into Unhappiness. By The Same Process You Can Build Up Inspiration, Excitement And Surging Depth Of Joy.

Joy Increases As You Give It, And Diminishes As You Try To Keep It For Yourself.

Humans Will Never Be Hampered As Smooth Bag. They Just Dragged And Dropped Upon His Head And Empty Heart

Having Asked God For Forgiveness, Accept Release, Then Truly Forgive Yourself And Turn Your Back Definitely On The Matter.

God In His Answers To Prayer Often Says "yes." Sometimes He Says "wait." Often He Says "no." In Any Case, His Will Is Done, And True Faith Is To Believe That What Happened Has Happened For The Best. If One Does Not Take That Attitude, He Is Setting His Personal Desire Against The Wisdom Of God. Oftentimes We Confuse With Faith Merely That Which We Desire.

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 Special In Them. Look At The Sunny Side Of Everything. Think 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.

Resentment Or Grudges Do No Harm To The Person Against Whom You Hold These Feelings But Every Day And Every Night Of Your Life, They Are Eating At You.

Lots Of People Limit Their Possibilities By Giving Up Easily. Never Tell Yourself This Is Too Much For Me. It's No Use. I Can't Go On. If You Do You're Licked, And By Your Own Thinking Too. Keep Believing And Keep On Keeping On.

Hold An Image Of The Life You Want, And That Image Will Become Fact.

You Became A Worrier By Practicing Worry. You Can Become Free Of Worry By Practicing The Opposite And Stronger Habit Of Faith. With All The Strength And Perseverance You Can Command, Start Practicing Faith.

Families, Like Individuals, Are Unique.

The Power Of The Plus Factor Is Potential But It Is Not Self-activating. It Is Latent In Human Beings And Will Remain Latent Until It Is Activated.

Remember, There Is No Situation So Completely Hopeless That Something Constructive Cannot Be Done About It. When Faced With A Minus, Ask Yourself What You Can Do To Make It A Plus. A Person Practicing This Attitude Will Extract Undreamed-of Outcomes From The Most Unpromising Situations. Realize That There Are No Hopeless Situations; There Are Only People Who Take Hopeless Attitudes.

Throw Back The Shoulders, Let The Heart Sing, Let The Eyes Flash, Let The Mind Be Lifted Up, Look Upward And Say To Yourself ... Nothing Is Impossible!

Never Think Negatively, For The Negative Thinker Does A Very Dangerous Thing. He Pumps Out Negative Thoughts Into The World Around Him And Thus Activates The World Negatively.

You Can Make Yourself Enthusiastic By Affirming Enthusiasm And By Thinking, Talking, Acting Enthusiastic.

And What Marvelous Things There Are For Which To Be Grateful In God's Great Creation!

Believe In Yourself, Believe In Your Future.

The One Person Who Most Blocks You From A Full, Happy, And Successful Life Is You.

A Clean Mind Always Delivers Power.

Hold The Thought Of All Elements Of The Body Working Together In Perfect Rhythm.

Working Together

A Positive Thinker Does Not Refuse To Recognize The Negative; He Refuses To Dwell On It. Positive Thinking Is A Form Of Thought Which Habitually Looks For The Best Results From The Worst Conditions

Positive Thinking

Nothing Can Stand In The Way Of The Man Who Focuses His Entire Self On A Problem.

Practice Hope. As Hopefulness Becomes A Habit, You Can Achieve A Permanently Happy Spirit.

Action Is A Great Restorer And Builder Of Confidence. Inaction Is Not Only The Result, But The Cause, Of Fear.

Keep Your Mental And Spiritual Contact Points Cleaned So That God Can Operate Through Your Mind.

If You Visualize A Failure, You Tend To Create The Conditions That Produce Failure. Visualize-believe-and Thank God In Advance.

The Bible - The Wisest Document Ever Known In Human Existence, Which Defies The Ravages Of Time And Change Because It Contains The Truth That Cannot Be Changed Or Invalidated.

Time And Change

Life Is Not All Fun And Easy Going. Far From It; There Are Many Rough Times. But, Sadly, We Too Often Let The Hard Times Dull Our Enthusiasm. And That Is Dangerous, If Not Fatal, To Our Lives.

If There Is No Fun In It, Something Is Wrong With All You Are Doing.

I Truly Believe That If We Keep Telling The Christmas Story, Singing The Christmas Songs, And Living The Christmas Spirit, We Can Bring Joy And Happiness And Peace To This World.

Today Any Successful And Competent Businessman Will Employ The Latest And Best-tested Methods In Production, Distribution, And Administration. Many Are Discovering That One Of The Greatest Of All Efficiency Methods Is Prayer Power.

One Of The Few Greatest Satisfactions Of This Life Is To Handle Problems Efficiently And Well.

Inspirational Life

Practice Loving People. It Is True That This Requires Effort And Continued Practice, For Some Are Not Very Lovable, Or So It Seems - With Emphasis On Seems. Every Person Has Lovable Qualities When You Really Learn To Know Him.

And If The Mind Thinks With A Believing Attitude One Can Do Amazing Things.

A Peaceful Mind Generates Power.

As Long As Enthusiasm Holds Out, So Will New Opportunities.

Hope Is Wanting Something So Eagerly That-in Spite Of All The Evidence That You're Not Going To Get It-you Go Right On Wanting It.

Our Problem Is To Become Acquainted With Our Own Selves, Letting Our Personalities Loose Upon The World For The Sheer Adventure Of Their Full Development And In The Positive Hope That They May In Their Own Way Lift The Level Of Humanity.

Ask For What You Want, But Be Willing To Take What God Gives You. It May Be Better Than What You Asked For.

Promises Are Like Crying Babies In A Theater, They Should Be Carried Out At Once.

Keeping Promises

Thinking About Forgiving Is Not Enough. You Must Come To A Moment When You Say, "with God's Help I Now Forgive."

Any Fact Facing Us Is Not As Important As Our Attitude Toward It, For That Determines Our Success Or Failure. The Way You Think About A Fact May Defeat You Before You Ever Do Anything About It. You Are Overcome By The Fact Because You Think You Are.

Many People Conceive Of Religion As Something Apart From Everyday Affairs Of The World. They Think Of It In Terms Of Ceremony Or Ritual Or Sermons And Often It Strikes Them As Being Dull Or Not Particularly Interesting. Religion May Be Described In Many Ways. I Like To Think Of It As A Medicine, A Healing Medicine For The Mind.

I've Got Great Faith In The Essential Fairness And Decency - You May Say Goodness - Of The Human Being.

Motivation Is Like Nutrition. It Must Be Taken Daily And In Healthy Doses To Keep It Going

Go Out Of Your Way To Talk Optimistically About Everything.

The Positive Thinker, On The Contrary, Constantly Sends Out Positive Thoughts, Together With Vital Mental Images Of Hope, Optimism And Creativity. He Therefore Activates The World Around Him Positively And Strongly Tends To Draw Back To Himself Positive Results. This, Too, Is A Basic Law Of Mind Action.

Be An All-out, Not A Hold-out.

There Is Only One Person With Whom To Compete And That Is Yourself. Keep Aiming To Surpass Your Own Best Performance And Ever Strive To Reach Higher Levels.

Expect The Best And Get It.

Law Of Attraction

Become A Possibilitarian.

Every Person, If He Is To Have Mental Health And Live Successfully, Must Move Away From Past Failures And Mistakes And Go Forward Without Letting Them Be A Weight Upon Him. The Art Of Forgetting Is Absolutely Necessary.

Happiness Will Never Come If It's A Goal In Itself; Happiness Is A By-product Of A Commitment Of Worthy Causes.

Picturize, Prayerize, Actualize.

Stop Resisting Your Problems So Furiously In Your Mind. Stop Struggling To Solve Them. If You Do That, A Great Sense Of Peace Followed By A Great Sense Of Power Will Come To You.

Stand Up To An Obstacle. Just Stand Up To It, That's All, And Don't Give Way Under It, And It Will Finally Break. You Will Break It. Something Has To Break, And It Won't Be You, It Will Be The Obstacle.

Realize That There Are Not Hopeless Situations; There Are Only People Who Take Hopeless Attitudes.

Dare To Be What Your Best Self Knows You Ought To Be; Dare To Be A Bigger Human Being Than You Have Ever Been.

A Masterful Retreat Is Itself A Victory.

Trouble Is Here. It Is For A Purpose. Use It For The Purpose For Which It Was Intended - To Help You Grow. Thank God For Your Troubles.

You Will Soon Break The Bow If You Keep It Always Stretched.

Live For Others
