Get Out Of Your Own Way

Your life is not a coincidence, it's a reflection of you. If you'd like to know who is responsible for the majority of your troubles, take a look at the mirror and you'll deduce that it's time for us to stay out of our own way.

Life will give you back everything you have given to it. Our business in life is not to get ahead of others; but to get ahead of ourselves. It is impossible for man to be cheated by anyone but himself which implies that our best friends and our worst enemies are the thoughts we have about ourselves.

Here's the first rule of winning: don't beat yourself. Have you found that your biggest enemy is you? The basic problem most people have is that they are doing nothing to solve their basic problem. The problem is they build a case against themselves. They are their own worst enemy.

We lie loudest when we lie to ourselves. You can't consistently perform in a manner that is inconsistent with the way you see yourself. Determine to multiply your commitment, divide your distractions, subtract your excuses and add your faith. The first key victory you must win is over yourself.

In life we are sure to be losers when we quarrel with ourselves; it is civil war. Your future depends on many things, but mostly on you.

The ability to set a goal is the master skill to success. Success is goals, all else is commentary. You cannot hit a target you cannot see, if you don't have one. One of the greatest mistakes and a waste of life is living without a clear purpose or goal. A life without clear goals is a life doomed to failure. Any man who selects a goal in life which can be fully achieved has already defined his own limitation. So the clearer you are about your goal, the more rapidly you'll attract people and circumstances into your life to help make that goal a reality. Most people have their eye on the wrong goal. Is more money, a higher position or more influence your goal? These are not goals but are the by-products of true goals. We should work to become, not acquire. Measure wealth not by things you have, but by the things you have for which you would not take money. Happiness is not a reward - it's a consequence. Suffering is not a punishment - it's result. ...

Start With A Decision

The truth is that most dangerous place to be is in the middle of the road. Make rigid decisions, no should I or shouldn't I. A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. Remain indecisive and you will never grow! Every accomplishment great or small, starts with a decision. To move to where you are, you must decide where you would rather be.

It's A Process....

Accomplishing your dreams is a process, not something that happens overnight. Often we get discouraged because we don't think we are making progress, and the next thing we know we have veered away from that goal. The key is to plan a course for how we want to achieve our goals. And each and every day, take a few steps closer towards our goal. You've got to get to the stage in life where going for it is more important than winning or losing. Having once decided to achieve a certain task, achieve it at all costs of tedium and distaste. The gain in self-confidence of having accomplished a tiresome labor is immense. "Somehow I can't believe that there are any heights that can't be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four C s. They are curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy, and the greatest of all is confidence. When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, ...
