DO THE NEXT THING
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keeping a little ahead of conditions is one of the secrets of business.
The time to repair your roof is when the sun is shining.
So, do things before they need to be done.
Let your advance worrying become advance thinking and planning.
Position yourself ahead of time in the best place for you.
You'll gain the advantage in any situation through the medium of time.
When you think ahead of any approaching action
you'll always have the advantage.
You'll be the winner.
When you do what is necessary,
all the odds are in your favor.
YOU CAN MAKE UP YOUR MIND TO BE ANYTHING
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You're special and unique among all the creatures on the planet earth.
You've been endowed with the capacity and the power
to create desirable pictures inside your mind and to find them
automatically printed in the outer world of your environment.
You'll gradually grow into any condition you desire,
provided you first make yourself in habitual mental attitude
the person who corresponds to that condition.
Picture yourself vividly as winning,
and that alone will contribute immeasurably to your success.
All your dreams can come true,
if you have the courage to pursue them.
SUCCESS STARTS WHEN YOU BEGIN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your opportunity for success is where you are right now.
Everyone who got where they are had to begin where they were.
To attain success or to reach your goal,
don't worry about having all the answers in advance.
You just need to have a clear idea of your goal.
Don't procrastinate when faced with a difficult problem.
Break those problems into parts, and handle one part at a time.
Develop a bias toward action.
You can make something happen, today.
Break your big plan for success into small steps
and take the first step right away.
The highest mountain is climbed one step at a time
Take your first step today.

THE POSITIVE SIDE
With every ending comes also a new beginning. With every disappointment comes a new opportunity for success.
With every mistake comes a new and valuable lesson to be learned. With every setback comes a new position from which to move forward.
With every frustration comes the energy to move to a higher level of achievement. With every challenge comes a new strategy for taking action.
With every time of darkness comes the chance to make a real difference by shining your own special light. With every sadness comes a deeper appreciation for the joys that life can hold.
With every difficulty comes a new level of strength to be gained. With every loss comes an increased determination to win.
Though life has many pitfalls and problems, there is a positive side to every one of them. Choose to see and live that positive reality, and no problem will be a problem for long.
FOCUS NOW
Right now you have available to you everything you need to take one step forward. Once you take that step, you will have even more available to you to keep going.
The more persistently you move forward, step by step, the more momentum you build. And it is a process that you can begin at any time.
Focus on the one step that you can take right now. Let go of all regrets and resentment about what has already happened.
Let go of all fears and anxieties about what may be yet to come. Put your energy into where you are, and use that energy to do what you can in this moment.
Though there may be noise and confusion all around, you can transcend all those distractions. Decide to focus on the task at hand, for that is what will move you forward.
Think of how great it feels to be moving in a positive, productive direction. Focus your energy right now and make it happen. ©2006 by Max Steingart
FUEL FOR POSITIVE ACTION
The way to deal with the negative energy of worry is to transform it into fuel for positive action. Instead of being obsessed with what might happen, put your focus on what you are doing.
When worry is the only outlet for your concerns, those concerns will grow more and more troubling. Not only does worry fail to address those concerns, it drains time and resources that could otherwise be put to productive use.
Focused, purposeful, effective action, on the other hand, points all your energy in a positive direction. And it soon creates a favorable momentum.
Because of that momentum, little annoyances and distractions that otherwise would have brought you down are transformed into compelling reasons to push forward. When you are focused on action, even the setbacks give you fuel for yet more action.
When you sense a worry on the horizon of your thoughts, stop and consider this. What positive, productive thing can you do, right here and now, that will drain the power from that worry before it ever gets to you?
Get in the habit of seeing that every concern, every possible situation, provides fuel for positive action. Use that fuel to move yourself forward, and no longer will worry be an issue.
Ralph Marston
ALWAYS THINK POSITIVE THOUGHTS
Things turn out best for those people
who can make the best out of the way things turn out.
It's not the situation, it's your reaction to the situation.
The reality in your life may result from many outside factors,
none of which you can control.
Your attitude, however,
reflects the ways in which you deal with what is happening to you.
Life at any time can become difficult.
Life at any time can become easy.
It all depends upon how you adjust yourself to life.
You cannot always control your circumstances.
But, you can control your own thoughts.
There is nothing neither good nor bad,
only your thinking makes it so.

YOU CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING
There are no real barriers to your success.
You must overcome any doubts you have about your ability.
Your self image prescribes the limits for your accomplishments.
It prescribes the area of what is possible for you.
Don't be afraid of living.
Your belief that life is worth living will help you create the fact around you.
If you see yourself as prosperous, you will be.
If you see yourself as continually hard up,
that's precisely what you will be.
You can never succeed until you believe you can succeed.
Everything is possible if you believe.

YOUR ENVIRONMENT
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
from which the food that goes into your mind is extracted.
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 make you feel that you, too, can become great.
We shape our buildings, thereafter they shape us.
It's your friends that make your world.
