15. John Boyle, once said, "Whatever you can hold in your mind
on a continuing basis, you can have."
16. Left undirected and uncontrolled, positive thinking can
quickly degenerate into positive wishing and hoping.
17. To be focused and effective in goal attainment, positive
thinking must translate into positive knowing.
18. You must absolutely know and believe in the depths of your
being that you are going to be successful at achieving your goal.
19. One of the important mental laws is, Whatever you impress
deeply into your subconscious mind will eventually be
expressed in your external world.
20. Your subconscious mind is only activated by affirmative
statements phrased in the present tense.
21. Once your subconscious mind accepts your goals as
commands from your conscious mind, it will start to make all
your words and actions fit a pattern consistent with those goals.
22. When you begin to tap into and unleash the power of
subconscious and superconscious minds, you will achieve more
in life.
23. Your ability to visualize is perhaps the most powerful faculty
that you possess.
24. All improvement in your life begins with an improvement
in your mental pictures.
25. As you change your mental pictures on the inside, your

pictures.
26. As you change your mental pictures on the inside, your
world on the outside, like a mirror, begins to change.

of some kind.
36. Successful people are those who visualize the kind of
success they want to enjoy in advance.
37. Your performance on the outside is always consistent with
your self-image on the inside.
38. Almost everything that you have achieved in life, or failed to
achieve, is the result of the use or misuse of visualization.
39. Aristotle wrote that the very best way to develop a virtue, is
to imagine and to behave in every respect as though you already
had the virtue whenever that virtue is called for.
40. See and think about yourself as you can be, not just as you
might be today. Gradually, you will become that new person.
41. By changing your mental images, you change your
performance and your results.
42. When you visualize, you program your mind with the
performance that you want your body to carry out.
43. The elements of frequency, duration, vividness, and intensity
can help you or hurt you. Like nature, the power of visualization
is neutral.
44. Visualization like a two-edged sword, can cut in either
direction. It can either make you a success or a failure.
45. Whether good or bad, visualization brings you whatever
you vividly and intensely imagine.
46. When you worry, you are using visualization in a negative
way. And those problems that you don't want will be attracted
into your life.
47. Casualness brings casualties. If you don't have a clear idea of
what you want, you end up getting something else.
48. Job says, "The thing which i greatly feared has come upon
me." This is the unhappy consequences of negative
visualization.
49. If you are absolutely clear about what you want, you will
eventually achieve it.
50. When you visualize your goals as if they were already
achieved before you go to sleep, your subconscious mind accepts
them at a deeper level.
51. Make the process of positive visualization a regular part of
your life.
52. All important breakthroughs in all fields throughout history
have been the result of superconscious functioning.
53. The Law of Superconscious Activity, is that: Any thought,
plan, goal, or idea held continuously in the conscious mind must
inevitably be brought into reality by the superconscious mind.
54. The only limits on what your superconscious mind can do
for you are the limits that you place on your own mind and
imagination.
55. Your superconscious mind operates best when you are in a
mental state of calm, confident, relaxed expectation.
56. Your intuition is your connection and your contact with the
superconscious mind.
57. Whenever you practice relaxation in solitude, completely
letting go of all your cares and communing with nature, your
superconscious mind begins to function.
58. Your superconscious mind is stimulated by clear, written,
specific goals, intensely desired, visualized regularly, and
constantly worked towards.
59. If you look for something good in every situation, you will
always find it.
60. The very attitude of expecting good things to happen to you
seems to trigger their occurrence over and over again.
61. The Law of Cause and Effect says that everything happens
for a specific reason and that there is a traceable cause for
every effect.

take action immediately. Don't delay.
63. The very act of moving on a superconscious flash will trigger
additional superconscious insights and inspirations that will
help you.
64. Your superconscious mind is the most powerful faculty you
have.
65. It has been said that "Men and women begin to become
great when they begin to listen to their inner voices."
66. When you make a regular habit of listening to your intuition
and trusting your inner voice, you will probably never make
another mistake.
67. By tapping into your superconscious mind, you begin to
bring your whole life into harmony with this great universal
power.
68. Your superconscious mind works for you in direct
proportion to your complete trust and confidence in it.
69. Practice letting go on a regular basis and wait patiently
until exactly the right answer comes to you at the right time.
70. The most important single quality that you can develop, in a
time of rapid change, is flexibility.
71. The quality of flexibility is essential if you want to be, do,
and have more than the average person.
72. Remain flexible in your thinking and in your possible
courses of action.
73. The effects of change were overwhelming and unavoidable.
Only the flexible were able to react and respond effectively.
74. To remain flexible, you must be constantly open, alert to
new ideas, information, and knowledge that can help you or
hurt you in the achievement of your goals.
75. One piece of information, at the right time, can save you
enormous amounts of time, trouble, and money.

keep current in your field.
77. The power is always on the side of the person with the best
and most current information.

right.

can do is to admit it quickly, solve the problem, and get on.
83. Once you say, "I was wrong" or "I made a mistake," the issue
is largely over.
84. It is not a weakness or a character flaw to be wrong, to make
a mistake, or to change your mind.
85. Be willing to deal with the world as it is, rather than the way
you wish it were or the way that it might have been in the past.
86. Face the truth, whatever it is. Be honest with yourself and
everyone around you.
87. Always be open to reevaluating your goals and objectives in
the light of new information, technology, or competition.
88. Expect change as part of the normal and natural course of
events.
89. Refuse to be surprised or upset when events do not work out
the way you thought they would or should.
90. Be open to differing points of view and different ideas.
91. One of the characteristics of the best leaders is that they are
good listeners.
92. Here is the most important rule of flexibility: "Be clear about
your goal but be flexible about the process of achieving it."
93. In Matthew 18:13, Jesus says, "You must become like a little
child if you would enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
94. You must remain open-minded, flexible, calm, confident,
and curious if you want to be able to recognize new
opportunities and possibilities as they open up around you.
95. Always look into the problems or obstacles you face and seek
the valuable lesson or benefit they contain.
96. Creativity is like a muscle, if you do not exercise your
creativity and stretch it regularly, it becomes weak and
ineffective.
97. Today, we are in the information age. For the rest of your
life, ideas will be the major source of new wealth.
98. Since your ability to generate new ideas is largely unlimited,
your ability to achieve any goal you set for yourself is as well
unlimited.
99. All wealth comes from adding value, from producing more,
better, cheaper, faster, and easier than someone else.
100. Clear goals-written and rewritten, visualized and
emotionalized, triggers your conscious, subconscious and
superconscious minds into generating a continuous flow of
ideas for goal attainment.
101. The fact is that life is a continuous succession of problems
and difficulties without end.
102. In life, always focus on the solution, on what can be done,
rather than on what has happened and who is to blame.

is something that happens between the brain and the hand
when you write.

of action open to you in any situation.
107. You should always have a Plan B for the important parts
of your business and personal life as well.
108. The more options you have, the greater mental freedom
you have as well.
109. The more alternatives you have thought through and
developed, the greater power you will have in any situation.
110. The more that you have developed different courses of
action in case the one you are following does not work out,
the greater confidence you will have.
111. Use your creativity to develop options and alternatives
continually, no matter how well things are going at the moment.
112. Your ultimate goal in your business and career is to earn
as much money as possible and to achieve financial
independence.
113. All profit, all financial success in our society comes from
"adding value" of some kind.

serve other people better than your competitors do.
115. Use your intelligence and creativity every single day to
find ways to make yourself more valuable to your world.

117. Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote that you will always be
compensated in life in direct proportion to the value of your
contribution.
118. If you want to get more out, you have to put more in. There
is no other way.
119. Napoleon Hill found that the key quality of successful men
and women, was that early in life, they developed the habit of
"going the extra mile."
120. As the old saying goes, "There are never any traffic jams
on the extra mile."
121. Always look for ways to contribute beyond what was
expected of you.
122. They said, "Your success in life will be in direct proportion
to what you do after you do what you are expected to do.
123. Thomas Jefferson wrote, "Determine never to be idle."
124. "The rising sun has never caught me in bed in my entire
life," wrote Thomas Jefferson.
125. Momentum principle of success says that, it takes
considerable energy to get yourself into motion and moving.
But it takes much less energy to keep moving, once you get going.
126. The principle of momentum explains success as much as
any other factor.
127. Successful people are busy people. They get up and get
going and they keep going all day long.
128. There seems to be a direct relationship between tight
time planning and high income.
129. Mentally and physically, the faster you move, the more
energy you have.
130. Apply the momentum principle to your life. Once you
start going, keep going.
131. Alan Lakein said, "Fast tempo is essential to success."
132. Tom Peters said that all successful people have a "bias for
action."
133. The key to getting more done is for you to select your most
important task and then to start it with a "sense of urgency."
134. Every great success in your life will represent a triumph
of persistence.
135. The flip side of persistence is courage.
136. The greatest challenge that you will ever face in life is the
conquest of fear and the development of the habit of courage.
137. Winston Churchill ones wrote, "Courage is rightly
considered the foremost of the virtues, for upon it, all others
depend."
138. Fear is, and always has been, the greatest enemy of
mankind.
139. When you develop the habit of courage and unshakable
self-confidence, a whole new world of possibilities opens up for
you.
140. It is important to know that, the habit of courage can be
learned just as any other success skill is learned.
141. Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life, and when it
comes, hold your head high. Look it squarely in the eye, and
say, I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me.
142. The starting point in overcoming fear and developing
courage is, to look at the factors that predispose us towards
being afraid.
143. Ignorance causes us to fear change, fear the unknown,
and to avoid trying anything new or different.
144. The very act of gathering more information and experience
gives us more courage and confidence in life.
145. Note that rest and relaxation can build courage and
confidence as much as any other factors.
146. It is not whether or not you are afraid. We are all afraid.
The question is, How do you deal with the fear?
147. When you confront your fears and move towards what
you are afraid of, your fears diminish while your self-esteem
and self-confidence increases.
148. When you avoid what you fear, your fears grow until they
begin to control your life.
149. Glenn Ford once said, "If you do not do the thing you fear,
the fear controls your life."
150. Mark Twain said, "Courage is resistance to fear, mastery
of fear-not absence of fear."
151. You can begin the process of developing courage and
eliminating fear by engaging in actions consistent with the
behaviours of courage and self-confidence.
152. Anything that you practice over and over eventually
becomes a new habit.
153. You develop courage by behaving courageously whenever
courage is called for.
154. The future belongs to the risk takers, not the security
seekers. Life is perverse in the sense that the more you seek
security, the less of it you have.
155. Whatever you dwell upon, grows. So be careful.
156. The mastery of fear and the development of courage are
essential prerequisites for a happy and sucessful life.
157. The single most important quality for success is
self-discipline.
158. It is not what you learn that is decisive for your future. It is
whether or not you can discipline yourself to pay the price,
over and over, until you finally obtain your objective.
159. You need self-discipline to respond positively and
constructively in the face of every difficulty.
160. The most important demonstration of self-discipline is
your level of persistence when the going gets tough.
161. Persistence is the true measure of individual human
character.
162. Your persistence is, in fact, the real measure of your
belief in yourself and your ability to succeed.
163. Each time that you persist in the face of adversity and
disappointment, you build up the habit of persistence.
164. Every great man or woman has had to endure tremendous
trials and tribulations before reaching the heights of success
and achievement.
165. Persistence is the one quality that guarantees you will
eventual win.
166. Orison Swett Marden wrote, "No, there is no failure for
the man who realises his power, who never knows when he is
beaten; there is no failure for the determined endeavour; the
unconquerable will.
167. There is no failure for the man who gets up every time he
falls, who rebounds like a rubber ball, who persists when
everyone else gives up, who pushes on when everyone else
turns back.
168. Confucius said, "Our greatest glory is not in never falling,
but in rising every time we fall."
169. James J. Corbett, one of the first world heavyweight boxing
champions, said that "You become a champion by fighting one
more round.
170. Yogi Berra said this: "It ain't over 'til it's over."
171. Elbert Hubbard wrote, "There is no failure except in no
longer trying. There is no defeat except from within, no really
insurmountable barrier save our own inherent weakness of
purpose."
172. Vince Lombardi said, "It's not whether you get knocked
down. It's whether you get up again."
173. Successful men and women are hallmarked by their
incredible persistence, by their refusal to quit no matter what
the external circumstances.
174. Perhaps your greatest asset is simply your ability to keep
at it longer than anyone else.
175. B. C. Forbes wrote, "History has demonstrated that the
most notable winners usually encountered heartbreaking
obstacles before they triumphed."
176. John D. Rockefeller, wrote, "I do not think there is any
other quality so essential to success of any kind, as the quality
of perseverance. It overcomes everything, even nature."
177. Conrad Hilton, said, "Success seems to be connected with
action. Successful men keep moving. They make mistakes, but
they don't quit."
178. When you have fully decided that a result is worth getting,
go ahead and make trial after trial until it comes.
179. Alexander Graham Bell says that, "Persistence exists and it
becomes available only when a man is in that state of mind in
which he knows exactly what he wants and is fully ready not
to quit until he finds it."
180. Ren McPherson summarized his philosophy by saying, "You
just keep pushing. You just keep pushing. I made every mistake
that could be made, but I just kept pushing."
181. Do everything possible to organize your life in such a way
that you minimize and avoid adversity and disappointment.
182. Disappointments and adversity are normal and natural,
unavoidable parts of life.
183. Benjamin Franklin said that the only things that are
inevitable are death and taxes, but every bit of experience
shows that disappointment is also inevitable.
184. No matter how well you organize yourself and your
activities, you will experience countless disappointments,
setbacks, obstacles, and adversity in life.
185. The higher and more challenging the goals you set, the
more disappointment and adversity you will experience.
186. This is the paradox. It is impossible for us to evolve, grow,
and develop to our full potential unless we face adversity and
learn from it.
187. All of the great lessons of life come as the result of setbacks
and temporary defeats, which we have done our utmost to
avoid.
188. Great thinkers have reflected on the paradox of life and
have concluded that adversity is the test that you must pass on
the path to accomplishing anything worthwhile.
189. Herodotus, said, "Adversity has the effect of drawing out
strength and qualities of a man that would have lain dormant in
its absence."
190. The very best qualities of strength, courage, character, and
persistence are brought out in you when you face your greatest
challenges and you respond positively and constructively.
191. High achievers utilize adversity and struggles for growth,
while low achievers allow difficulties and adversity to over-
whelm them and leave them discouraged and dejected.
192. The way you respond to disappointment is usually an
accurate predictor of how likely you are to achieve great
success.
193. If you respond to disappointment by learning the very
most from it and then press forward, you are very likely to
accomplish great things in the course of your life.
194. Your greatest successes almost invariably come one step
beyond the point where everything inside of you says to quit.
195. H. Ross Perot, said this: "Most people give up just when they
are about to achieve success. They quit on the one-yard line.
They give up at the last minute, one foot away from the winning
touchdown.
196. Herodotus also wrote, "Some men give up their designs
when they have almost reached the goal; while others, on the
contrary, obtain a victory by exerting, at the last moment, more
vigorous efforts than ever before."
197. Napoleon Hill, wrote, "Before success comes in any mans's
life, he is sure to meet with much temporary defeat and,
perhaps, some failure."
198. Harriet Beecher Stowe also wrote this words, "Never give
up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn."
199. What you do not see, what most people never suspect of
existing, is the silent but irresistible power that comes to your
rescue when you fight on in the face of discouragement.
200. Claude M. Bristol wrote, "It's the constant and determined
effort that breaks down all resistance, sweeps away all
obstaclles."
201. The power to hold on in spite of everything, to endure- this
is the winners quality.
202. Persistence is the ability to face defeat again and again
without giving up, to push on in the face of great difficulty.
203. Don't give up though the pace seems slow. You may succeed
with another blow.
204. Success is failure turned inside out. The silver tint of the
clouds of doubt.
205. And you never can tell how close you are. It may be near
when it seems so far.
206. Stick to the fight when you're hardest hit. It's when things
seems worst that you must not quit.
207. Resolve in advance that as long as you intensely desire your
goal, you will never give up until you achieve it.
208. Look into every difficulty or setback for the seed of an
equal or greater benefit or opportunity. You will always find
something that can help you.
209. In every situation, resolve to be solution oriented and
action oriented.
210. Not giving up is the hallmark of success.
211. Goals unlock your positive mind and release ideas and
energy for success attainment.
212. With goals, you fly like an arrow, straight and true to your
target.
213. Whatever you have accomplished up until now is only a
small fraction of what is truly possible for you.
214. One of the rules for success is this: It doesn't matter where
you're coming from; all that matters is where you're going.
215. The great summary statement of all religions, all
philosophies, metaphysics, psychology, and success is this: You
become what you think about most of the time.
216. Your outer world ultimately becomes a reflection of your
inner world and mirrors back to you what you think about.
217. Unsuccessful, unhappy people think and talk about their
problems and worries and who is to blame most of the time.
218. Clear goals enable you to step on the accelerator of your
own life and race ahead rapidly toward achieving more of
what you really want.
219. By simply deciding exactly what you want, you will begin
to move unerringly toward your goal and your goal unerringly
toward you.
220. Like a computer, your goal-seeking mechanism is
nonjudgmental. It works automatically and continuously to
bring you what you want.
221. The starting point of all goal attainment is desire. You must
develop an intense burning desire for your goals if you really
want to achieve them.
222. Setting goals, working toward them day by day, and
ultimately achieving them is the key to happiness in life.
223. Goals enable you to overcome any obstacle and to make
your future achievement unlimited.
224. The greatest enemies of success and happiness are
negative emotions of all kinds.
225. One of your most important goals, if you want to be truly
happy and successful, is to free yourself from negative emotions.
226. The antidote for negative emotions of all kinds is for you to
accept complete responsibility for your situation.
227. It is only when you free yourself from negative emotions,
by taking complete responsibility, that you can begin to set and
achieve goals in your life.
228. To keep your mind positive, refuse to criticize, complain
about, or condemn other people for anything.
229. Being angry with someone is allowing him or her to control
your emotions, and the entire quality of your life.
230. There is a direct relationship between the amount of
responsibility you accept and the amount of control you feel.
231. The more you say, "I am responsible!" the more of an
internal locus of control you develop and the more powerful
and confident you feel.
232. The more responsibility you accept, the happier you
become.
233. You are where you are and what you are because of your
own choices and decisions.
234. When you begin to think about your future, you begin to
think like a leader, and you will soon get the same results that
leaders get.
235. Just think! The further you think into the future, the better
decisions you will make in the present to assure that the future
becomes a reality.
236. The biggest single obstacle to setting goals is self-limiting
beliefs.
237. In blue-sky thinking, you imagine that all things are
possible for you, just like looking up into a clear blue sky, with
no limits.
238. You decide what you really want before you come back to
the present moment and deal with what is possible for you
within your current situation.
239. Low achievers and nonachievers are full of good intentions,
but they always have an excuse for not taking action today.
240. Proverbs 29:18 says, "Where there is no vision, the people
perish."
241. The clearer you can be about your long-term future, the
more rapidly you will attract people and circumstances into
your life to help make that future a reality.
242. The greater clarity you have about who you are and what
you want, the more you will achieve in every area of your life.
243. Most people are confused about their goals, values, and
ideas, and as a result, they go back and forth and accomplish
very little.
244. The very core of your personality is your values. Your
values are what make you the person you are.
245. Your beliefs, determine your expectations.
246. If you have positive values, you will believe yourself to be
a good person. If you believe yourself to be a good person, you
will expect good things to happen to you.
247. Your attitude will be an outward manifestation or
reflection of your values, beliefs, and expectations.
248. What you achieve in life is determined more by what is
going on inside of you than by any other factor.
249. A positive, optimistic, goal and future-oriented person on
the inside, will enjoy a happy, successful, and prosperous life
on the outside, most of the time.
250. You are the very happiest when what you are doing on the
outside is congruent with your values on the inside.
251. Clarifying your values is often the starting point to high
achievement and peak performance.
252. The happiest people in the world today are those who are
living in harmony with their innermost convictions and values.
253. Self-trust is the foundation of greatness. Self-trust comes
from listening to your intuition, to your still, small voice within.
254. Living in alignment with your true values is the royal
road to self-confidence, self-respect, and personal pride.
255. Whenever you experience stress of any kind, look into
yourself and ask, "In what way am I compromising my
innermost values in this situation?"
256. You always demonstrate your true values in your actions
and especcially your actions under pressure.
257. You should live your life as if you were already the
outstanding person you intend to be sometime in the future.
258. The more you live your life consistent with your values,
the happier, healthier, more positive and energetic you will be.
259. Integrity is not so much a value in itself; it is rather the
value that guarantees all the other values.
260. The more you discipline yourself to live consistent with
the very best you know, the greater is your level of integrity.
261. The higher your level of integrity, the happier and more
powerful you will feel in everything you do.
262. Always look for the simplest and most direct way to get
