Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.
If you can't do great things, do small things in a great way.
Do not wait: the time will never be 'just right'. Start where you stand, and work whatever tools you may have at your command and better tools will be found as you go along.
Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.
The starting point of all achievement is DESIRE. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desire brings weak results, just as a small fire makes a small amount of heat.
Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action.
No one is ready for a thing until he believes he can acquire it.
Before success in any man's life he is sure to meet with much temporary defeat and, perhaps, some failure. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit. That is exactly what the majority of men do.
When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal.
Any ideas, plan, or purpose may be placed in the mind through repetition of thought.
