Daily Motivation

Question

Thought I would share this with you all. I get this every day via email.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUCCESS IS A MATTER OF EXPECTATION.

-----------------------------------------------

You must first expect to succeed if you want to succeed.

When you expect good things to happen,

strangely enough, they will happen.

Expectation energizes your goals and gives them momentum.

Your life will always respond to your outlook, so set your goals high.

The dreams you choose to believe in will come to be.

You can't expect to succeed beyond your wildest expectations

unless you begin with some pretty wild expectations.

YOU HAVE TO MAKE YOUR OWN OPPORTUNITIES.

-----------------------------------------------

Success isn't going to come knocking on your door.

You have to work for it. You have to find it.

You don't need more strength

or more ability or greater opportunity.

What you need is to use what you have.

The golden opportunity you're seeking lies in yourself.

It's not in your environment.

It's not in luck or chance or the help of others.

It's in you.

There will always be a new opportunity

where there is an open mind and a willing hand.

Open your own door to opportunity.

A GOAL WILL LEAD YOU TO SUCCESS.

-----------------------------------------------

If you do the right things right, you're going to succeed.

If you have correct goals,

and you keep pursuing them the best way you know how,

everything else will fall into line.

You are what and where you are today because you first imagined it.

Knowing where you want to go is all you need to get there.

Just return over and over to that picture in your mind

of the place you are headed for.

The first essential of success is to know what you want.

WANTING TO WIN IS EVERYTHING

-----------------------------------------------

Winning isn't everything, but wanting to is.

Success is connected with continuous action.

It's largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.

You're not finished when you're defeated,

you're only finished when you quit.

The most important quality essential to success is perseverance.

It overcomes almost everything, even nature.

You can have a fresh start any time you choose,

for your "failure" is not in the falling down,

but in the staying down.

It's not over until it's over.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again.

If you've got the courage to stick it out, you can win.

BEING SUCCESSFUL IS A CHOICE YOU MAKE.

-----------------------------------------------

Your success isn't a matter of luck,

it's simply a matter of the choices that you make.

Success isn't something you can wait for,

it's something you'll achieve with effort over time.

Things won't turn up in this world until you turn them up.

You can choose to be lazy or ambitious.

Stop and think about your choice again.

You always do your own choosing.

The great opportunity in your life is where you are right now.

Every situation, properly perceived, is an opportunity for you.

First, say to yourself what you would be,

then, do what you have to do,

to make things happen.

Success is right in front of you.

ACCEPT CHANGE WITH A SMILE.

-----------------------------------------------

Sooner or later you'll experience a crisis in your life,

and how you meet it will determine your future happiness and success.

Since the beginning of time,

everyone has been called upon to meet such a crisis.

A closer look will show you that most "crisis situations"

are opportunities to either advance or stay where you are.

In fact, most changes in your life will take place

out of either "inspiration" or "desperation."

Whatever comes your way,

give it meaning and transform it into something of value.

Your personal growth is the process of responding positively to change.

A precious stone cannot be polished without friction,

nor humanity perfected without trials.

IT'S POSSIBLE TO LIVE YOUR DREAMS.

-----------------------------------------------

Your mind is your mental workshop.

You can build anything you want in it.

Visualize what you want in your mind.

See it. Feel it. Taste it. Believe in it.

Make your mental blue print and then begin to build.

First, think about what you want out of life.

The beginning always takes place in your imagination.

Then organize your thoughts into definitive plans.

Next, it's time to transform your thoughts into reality

by taking some positive action.

Visualize then actualize your success.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK.

-----------------------------------------------

Whatever you plant in your subconscious mind

and nourish everyday with conviction and emotion

will one day become a reality.

Constant repetition carries conviction.

Repeat something often enough and it will start to become you.

A change in what you tell yourself

will result in a change in your behavior.

What you impress upon your mind,

you'll inevitably become.

Self suggestion will make you master of yourself.

DON'T BELIEVE IN MIRACLES, DEPEND ON THEM.

-----------------------------------------------

You don't need an explanation for everything.

There are such things as miracles,

events for which there are no ready explanations.

Future knowledge may explain these events quite simply.

Any form of sufficiently advanced technology

can be quite indistinguishable from magic

when it's introduced for the first time.

Seeing, hearing, feeling are all miracles

as well as each part of you.

Seeing is not always believing.

You know much more than you understand.

Have the vision to see invisible things.

YOUR DAILY MOTIVATION

Monday, October 27, 2003

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS NO CHANCE.

----------------------------------------------

Don't think about the things you can't do.

Think about the things you can do.

No matter what the level of your ability is,

you have more potential than you can ever develop in a lifetime.

You have powers you never dreamed of.

You can do things you never thought you could do.

There are no limitations to what you can do

except the limitations of your own mind.

Your range of available choices right now is limitless.

Look at things as they can be.

Never say never.

Excellent thread.

3 books I would recommend

"The Magic of Believing" by Claude Bristol

The Magic of Believing

"Psycho Cybernetics" by Maxwell Maltz

Psycho Cybernetics

And for the truly adventurous:

"Seth Speaks, the Eternal Validity of the Soul" by Jane Roberts

Seth Speaks

Finally, I love motivational quotes and this is one of my current favorites from Henry Ford

"If you think you can or think you can't, your right.

"Love what you do.

Believe in your instincts.

And you'd better be able to pick yourself up and brush yourself off every day.

While life is not always fair, it is manageable.

It is a matter of attitude and confidence."

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done 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, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; 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, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

"It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."

- Robert F. Kennedy

Here's another good one...
