Kindness if KING!

2008-11-19T08:45:00.000-08:00

There is no investment you'll ever make that will pay you so well asthe effort to scatter sunshine and good cheer where ever you are.
The deepest principal in human nature is the craving to be appreciated.
If you treat someone as if they were what they ought to be and could be, they will become what they ought to be and could be.
Everyone thrives on being appreciated, loved and needed.
There is no stimulus like that which comes from the consciousnessof knowing that others believe in you.
Applaud others when they run.
Console them when they fail.
And cheer them when they recover.As water is to a flower, so is praise to the heart of another.

Overcome your fears by Doing!

2008-11-18T08:42:00.000-08:00

Do the thing you fear and fear disappears.
Confront your fears, list them, get to know themand only then will you be able to put them aside and move ahead.
Your obstacles will melt away, if instead of cowering before them,you make up your mind to walk boldly through them.
One of the greatest surprises you'll experience,is when you discover that you can do what you were afraid you couldn't do.
The only thing you have to fear is fear itself.
When you face the things that scare you, you open the door to freedom.

Maximum success is achieved with tiny steps!

2008-11-14T07:48:00.000-08:00

All progress begins one step at a time.
There is no sudden lead to greatness.
Good work, done little by little becomes great work.
The house of success is built brick by brick.
You can do what you want to do, achieve what you want to achieve,attain any reasonable objective you may have in mind.
Not all of a sudden, nor in one sweeping act of achievement.
You will do it gradually, day by day and play by play.
If you want to do it, if you work to do it,you will accomplish your goal over a sufficient period of time.
Your big accomplishments will be a series of little accomplishments.
It takes many strokes to overthrow the tallest oak.

Live your Dreams!

2008-11-12T06:55:00.000-08:00

The beginning of your success lies in your imagination.
Visualize all of the things that you want in your life.
Make your mental blueprint and then begin construction.
You can make your dreams work and produce for you.
Make every thought, every fact, that comes into your mindpay you a dividend.
Your imagination will show you how to turn possibility into reality.
The will to succeed springs from the knowledge that you can succeed.
Think of things not as they are, but as they might be.
Don't merely dream, create.
Do this, and you can live your dreams.

There is no success without hardship!

2008-11-06T08:15:00.000-08:00

The world is so constructed that if you wish to enjoy its pleasures,you must also endure its pains.
Like it or not, you cannot have one without the other.
Success is not measured by what you accomplish.
It's measured by the opposition you encounter,and the courage with which you maintain your struggle against the odds.
You'll find all things are difficult before they are easy.
The greater your obstacles, the more glory in overcoming them.
So, make up your mind before you start that sacrifice is part of the package.
No pain, no gain;
No thorns, no throne;
No cross, no crown.
You've got to go through the negative before you get to the positive.

Let superiority be your trademark!

2008-11-05T06:30:00.000-08:00

It will be your constant effort to be first class in everything you attemptthat will help you conquer the heights of success.
Always do more than you're supposed to do and you can have, be or do anything you want.
Do a little more than average and from that point on your progress multiplies itself out of all proportion to the effort you put in.
You can do a little more each day than you think you can.
There is always a best way of doing everything.
Find it.
To enjoy enduring success, you should travel a little in advanceof the rest of the world.
True success comes from being successful in little things.
Make it your life rule to do your best.

Don't just do something - CONCENTRATE!

2008-11-04T06:37:00.000-08:00

The first law of success is concentration.
Bend all of your energies to one point,and go directly to that point,looking neither to the right nor the left.
Concentration is the magic keythat opens the door to accomplishment.
In time, you can become what you earnestly desire to be,if you set your face in the direction of the things you wantand bring all your powers to bear towards its attainment.
When your physical and mental resources are focused,your power to solve problems multiplies tremendously.
To do two things at once is to do neither.
Success is the result of well directed energy.
Nothing can add more power to your lifeas much as concentrating all your energieson a limited set of targets.
The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus.

You need to grow to Thrive!

2008-11-03T07:07:00.001-08:00

You'll experience personal growth on the road to success.
All growth means change and change involves risk.
You grow because you struggle, learn and overcome your obstacles.
What happens to you is not as important as how you react to what happens.
Everything you'll experience "good or bad" has value.
Difficulties in life are the things that show you what you are.
Trouble is the common denominator of living.
It's the great equalizer of life.
Only when you are no longer afraid will you begin to live.
Copyright 2008 www.yourdailymotivation.com

You always have a chance!

2008-10-30T09:48:00.000-07:00

You can do anything you wish to do,have anything you wish to have,and be anything you wish to be.
You don't know what you can really do until you try.
All you have to do is to act on your dreams.
You have the power within you to do things you neverdreamed possible.
You would amaze yourself if you did all the things you'recapable of doing.
This power becomes available to you as soon as youchange some of your beliefs.
Use your imagination and look at things as they can be.
You know what you are today but not what you may be tomorrow.
Your success begins in your mind.

When you stop dreaming you stop living!

2008-10-27T07:46:00.000-07:00

If you want to enlarge your life,you must first enlarge your thought of it and yourself.
Hold the image of yourself as you long to be,the image of what you long to attain,the image of health, efficiency and success.
You can lift yourself by your thoughts.
Your vision will help you surmount the highest obstacles.
High achievement always takes place in the frameworkof high expectation.
What you see is what you get.
You'll become as small as your controlling desire,or as great as your dominant aspiration.
The courage to follow your dreams is your first step toward destiny.
You can live your dreams.

Success is a choice you make!

2008-10-24T07:13:00.000-07:00

You alone have the responsibility to shape your life.
Once you understand this, nothing and no one can deny you success.
There's no one to stop you but yourself.
More powerful than all the success slogans ever writtenis the realization that everyone has but one boss.
That boss is you.
Your life will always be to a large extent what you make of it.
No one can cheat you out of ultimate success but you.
Success or failure?
It's always your choice.

Opportunity lies in the midst of Difficulty!

2008-10-23T08:17:00.000-07:00

Every problem has hidden in it an opportunity so powerfulthat it literally dwarfs the problem.
The greatest success stories were created by peoplewho recognized a problem and turned it into an opportunity.
You'll find that every situation properly perceivedoffers you opportunity.
As fast as each opportunity presents itself, use it.
Successful people don't achieve their distinction by havingsome new talent or opportunity presented to them.
They developed an opportunity that was at hand.
You must make your own opportunities if you want to be successful.
They are all around you.

It's your environment that makes your WORLD!

2008-10-22T07:25:00.000-07:00

Your own positive energy will compel things to turn out the way you desire when you're surrounded by positive people.
Your environment is your mental feeding ground.
It's where all the food that goes into your mind comes from.
Choose your environment with care, one that is positive,one that lifts you up and gives you wings to soar.
Create favorable conditions through your association with others.Avoid people who belittle your ambition.
Small people always do that, but the really great people,make you feel that you, too, can become great.
We shape our buildings, and then they shape us.

Attitude is EVERYTHING!

2008-10-21T06:39:00.000-07:00

You determine your attitude.
You can respond positively or negatively to any situation.
Your attitude is not determined by circumstances,but by how you respond to your circumstances.
Any challenge facing you is not as important as your attitude towards it,for that will determine your success or failure.
It's how you react to events, not the events themselves,that determines your attitude.

If you think BIG you will be BIG!

2008-10-20T06:48:00.000-07:00

High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation.
You'll always hit what you aim for in the long run.
So why not aim high?
Have the courage to follow your dreams.
It's the first step towards attaining your destiny.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
If you don't have a dream, how are you going to make it come true?
The empire of your future resides in your mind.
Big thinking precedes big achievement.

Dreams do come True!

2008-10-14T07:10:00.000-07:00

You are never given a wish without also being given the powerto make it come true.
The achievement of your goal is assured the momentyou commit yourself to it.
If you have the desire, you have the power to attain it.
You can have anything you want in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it.
Your dreams can come true if you pursue them.
Where there's a will, there's a way.

Nothing is impossible to a Willing Heart!

2008-10-13T06:41:00.000-07:00

You can do anything in this world you want to do,but you must want to do it badly enough.
You really can have everything you want, if you go after it.
You have to want it.
The first ingredient of success is desire.Do you know what you want?
Your desire is the planting of your seed.
Your desire for success must be so strong within youthat it's the very breath of your life.
It must be your first thought when you wake up in the morning,and your last thought when you go to bed at night.
You can be whatever you make up your mind to be.
What's in your mind is all that counts.

The future is a big Adventure!

2008-10-10T06:37:00.001-07:00

You need to focus on your future, not your past.
Prepare for your future, don't live in the past.
Relish your good memories and use any bad ones as lessons in life.
Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can.
The cards you're dealt in life are less important than the way you play them.
Every day you face a new deck and new cards.
Carve out a niche for yourself in your imagined future.
Begin immediately to think and feel yourself as successful.
To achieve your goal in life, you need to project your end result.
Think of the elation, the satisfaction, the joy you'll feel when you've achieved your objective.
Carry these ecstatic feelings with you every day and they will bringyour desired goals into view.
Success is waiting for you.

Happiness lies in the joy of Achievement!

2008-10-07T12:18:00.000-07:00

Happiness is a byproduct.
You cannot pursue it by itself.
You were built to conquer your environment, solve problems,and achieve goals.
You'll find no real satisfaction or happiness in life withoutobstacles to conquer and goals to achieve.
Happiness is in activity.
It's a running river not a stagnant pond.
Happiness is not in having or being, it's in doing something you love.
The secret of happiness is in having something to do.

2008-10-06T09:53:00.000-07:00

Wanting to Win is Everything!

2008-10-03T06:47:00.000-07:00

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 finishedwhen 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 "failure"is not in the falling down, but in the staying down.
It's not over until it's over.
If you've got the courage to stick it out, you'll attain your goal.
Winning isn't everything, but wanting to is.
