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.

0 Beth n Rod 1,279 Report post Posted April 21, 2003 Monday, April 7, 2003 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. ----------------------------------------------- ©2003 Written by:MotivationMentor@aol.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Friday, April 4, 2003 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. ----------------------------------------------- ©2003 Written by:MotivationMentor@aol.com ------------------------------------------------------------- Tuesday, April 1, 2003 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. ----------------------------------------------- ©2003 Written by:MotivationMentor@aol.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Beth n Rod 1,279 Report post Posted April 22, 2003 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. ----------------------------------------------- ©2003 Written by:MotivationMentor@aol.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Beth n Rod 1,279 Report post Posted April 28, 2003 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. ----------------------------------------------- ©2003 Written by:MotivationMentor@aol.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This Daily Motivation is presented to you by Jack Erwood.

0 Beth n Rod 1,279 Report post Posted April 28, 2003 Wednesday, April 23, 2003 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. ----------------------------------------------- ©2003 Written by:MotivationMentor@aol.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Beth n Rod 1,279 Report post Posted April 29, 2003 Monday, April 28, 2003 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. ----------------------------------------------- ©2003 Written by:MotivationMentor@aol.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This Daily Motivation is presented to you by Jack Erwood.

0 Beth n Rod 1,279 Report post Posted May 1, 2003 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. ----------------------------------------------- ©2003 Written by:MotivationMentor@aol.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. ---------------------------------------------- ©2003 Written by:MotivationMentor@aol.com:rainbow: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 bkwelker 64 Report post Posted February 2, 2004 "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."

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.
