DREAMS COME TRUE IF YOU PURSUE THEM

Reality forms around your commitments.
The achievement of your goal is assured the moment you commit yourself to it.
Obstacles don't matter very much.
Pain or other circumstances can be there,but if you want something bad enough,you'll find a way to get it.
Plant the seed of desire in your mindand it will form a nucleus with the power to attract to itselfeverything needed for its fulfullment.
You're never given a wishwithout also being given the power to make it come true.

YOUR TRIALS AND SORROWS DEVELOP YOU

Whatever good or bad fortune comes your way, give it meaning and transform it into something of value.
Trouble is the common denominator of living.
It's the great equalizer of life.
Personal growth is the process of responding positively to change.
All growth means change and change always involves risks, stepping from the known to the unknown.
All of your growth depends on your activity.
It only comes through continuous effort and struggle.
You'll have no development without effort.
Life chips and pounds you to bring out your possibilities.
She will strip you of wealth, humble your pride, humiliate your ambition, let you down from the ladder of fame, and discipline you in a thousand different ways, if she can develop a little character.
Everything gives way to that.
Wealth is nothing, position is nothing, fame is nothing.
Who you become inside is everything.
What happens to you is not as important
as how you react to what happens.

FEAR IS OVERCOME WITH ACTION

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

YOU DETERMINE YOUR ATTITUDE

Your attitude is not determined by circumstances, but by how you respond to your circumstances.
You can respond positively or negatively to any situation.
It's how you react to events, not the events themselves, that determines your attitude.
Any challenge facing you
is not as important as your attitude towards it, for that will determine your success or failure.
Things turn out best for the people
who make the best of the way things turn out.
It's not your position but your disposition that counts.

SELF SUGGESTION MAKES YOU MASTER OF YOURSELF

Whatever thoughts you plant in your subconscious mind and nourish every day 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.
You are what you think.

DAILY GURU

YOU ARE YOUR ENVIRONMENT
The first step toward getting somewhere
is to decide that you're not going to stay where you are.
You're a product of your environment.
So choose an environment that will best develop you toward your objective.
Analyze your life in terms of your environment.
Are the things around you helping you toward your success, or are they holding you back?
You're not a captive of your environment.
If you don't like where you are, change it.
You're not planted in the ground like a tree.
Don't say, 'You would, if you could,'
say, 'You will, if you can.'
When you become a part of anything,
it becomes a part of you.

LIFE IN ABUNDANCE COMES ONLY THROUGH GREAT LOVE

There is no force more potent than love.
Take away love and your world is a tomb.
Your life echoes emptiness without love.
With it, your life will vibrate with warmth and meaning.
Even during hardship, love will shine through.
As you look back upon the events in your life you will find that the moments that stand out, the moments when you have really lived, are the moments when you have done things in a spirit of love.
If you have it, you don't need to have anything else, and if you don't have it, it doesn't matter what else you have.
Therefore, search for love.
Once you have learned to love,
you will have learned to live.
Love is the most important ingredient to your success.

DAILY GURU

ALWAYS TRY TO DO YOUR BEST AT EVERYTHING

Make it your life rule of living to always do your best.
It's your constant effort to be first-class in everything you attempt that will help you conquer the heights of excellence.
Let superiority become your trademark.


Do a little more each day than you think you possibly can.
There is always a best way of doing everything. Find it.


Do a little more than average
and from that point on your progress multiplies itself out of all proportion to the effort you put out.

Do more than you're supposed to do
and you can have or be or do anything you want.

If you want to enjoy enduring success,
try traveling a little in advance of the rest of the world.

Your greatness will come from being great in the little things.

DAILY GURU


HAPPINESS IS A BYPRODUCT OF ACTIVITY

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.
The human spirit needs to accomplish, to achieve, to triumph to be happy.
Happiness does not come from doing easy work, but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demands your best.
Your personal growth itself contains the seed of happiness.
You cannot pursue happiness by itself.
There is no happiness except in the realization that you have accomplished something.
Happiness thrives in activity.
It's a running river, not a stagnant pond.
