"Your definite main goal is a set of thoughts…thoughts you control. Desire is an emotion which you create and control. Enthusiasm is a state of mind also subject to your control. Desire plus enthusiasm is the pulsating force to create things from thought." Thomas D. Willhite
"Limitations live only in our minds. But if we use our imaginations, our possibilities become limitless." "Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor souls who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart."
Helen Keller
"People get what they want in life when they reach the point at which they can see themselves having what they seek." "The key that unlocks energy is desire.

"Accept the challenges, so you may feel the exhilaration of victory." George S. Patton
" Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success" "Life has no smooth road for any of us; and in the bracing atmosphere of a high aim the very roughness stimulates the climber to steadier steps, till the legend, over steep ways to the stars, fulfills itself."
W. C. Doane "What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight - it's the size of the fight in the dog." "There is a basic law that like attracts like. Negative thinking definitely attracts negative results. Conversely, if a person habitually thinks optimistically and hopefully, his positive thinking sets in motion creative forces -- and success instead of eluding him flows toward him." "Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles and kindnesses, and small obligations, given habitually, are what win and preserve the heart and secure comfort." “Down deep in every soul has a hidden longing, impulse, and
ambition to do something fine and enduring…If you are willing, great things are possible to you.” "The vision that you glorify in your mind, the ideal that you enthrone in your heart - this you will build your life by, and this you will become." "We do not see things as they are. We see them as we are." "Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish. A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle." "People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success." Norman Vincent Peale "Every day, a new opportunity to decide where your next step will go is given to you. Your future will be determined by the accumulation of these daily decisions. You control your steps and therefore your destiny, so choose wisely."
"Nothing will ever be attempted if all possible objections must first be overcome."
Samuel Johnson
"The only thing that stands between a man and what he wants from life is often merely the will to try it and the faith to believe that it is possible. " Richard M. DeVos "People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing. That’s why we recommend it daily." Zig Ziglar "Life can be pulled by goals just as surely as it can be pushed by drives."
Viktor Frankl “What you have to decide... is how you want your life to be. If your forever was ending tomorrow, would this be how you'd want to have spent it? Listen, the truth is, nothing is guaranteed. You know that more than anybody. So dont be afraid. Be alive.”
Sarah Dessen “The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly.”
Siddhārtha Gautama “Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives - choice, not chance, determines your destiny.”
Aristotle "If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known, that we are at all times ready for War. “The reason birds can fly and we can't is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings.”
J.M. Barrie “Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings." “When you chase a dream, you learn about yourself. You learn your capabilities and limitations, and the value of hard work and persistence.”
Nicholas Sparks “I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had no where else to go. My own wisdom and that of all about me insufficient for that day.”
Abraham Lincoln “One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying.”
Joan of Arc “Man is like a novel: up to the last page one does not know what the end will be. It would not be worth reading otherwise...”
Yevgeny Zamyatin “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson “Be yourself; no base imitator of another, but your best self. There is something which you can do better than another. Listen to the inward voice and bravely obey that. Do the things at which you are great, not what you were never made for.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson “The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands, and then work outward from there.”
Robert M. Pirsig "One who fears failure limits his activities. Failure is only the opportunity to more intelligently begin again."
Henry Ford "Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day, saying “I will try again tomorrow”." Mary Anne Radmacher "Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds. Discard them and their value will never be known. Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life. " Ralph Waldo Emerson "What would it be like if you lived each day, each breath, as a work of art in progress? Imagine that you are a Masterpiece unfolding, every second of every day, a work of art taking form with every breath."
Thomas Crum "Nothing worthwhile ever happens quickly and easily. You achieve only as you are determined to achieve... and as you keep at it until you have achieved."
Robert H. Lauer "The rung of a ladder was never meant to rest upon, but only to hold a man's foot long enough to enable him to put the other somewhat higher."
Thomas Huxley “Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson “You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”
Siddhārtha Gautama “Why do they always teach us that it's easy and evil to do what we want and that we need discipline to restrain ourselves? It's the hardest thing in the world--to do what we want. And it takes the greatest kind of courage. I mean, what we really want.”
Ayn Rand “Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.”
Robert Louis Stevenson “What you have to decide... is how you want your life to be. If your forever was ending tomorrow, would this be how you'd want to have spent it? Listen, the truth is, nothing is guaranteed. You know that more than anybody. So dont be afraid. Be alive.”
Sarah Dessen, The Truth about Forever “I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.”
Robert Fulghum “The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.”
Eleanor Roosevelt “Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”
George Bernard Shaw “As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.”
Henry David Thoreau “People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them.”
George Bernard Shaw “When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears.”

Marcus Aurelius “It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.”
Leonardo da Vinci "We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty."
Maya Angelou "Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Do not bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself."
William Faulkner "It is good to love many things, for therein lies strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done with love is well done."
Vincent van Gogh "Try not. Do or do not. There is no try." People, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself and the other for helping others."
Sam Levenson "Everything you can imagine is real."
Pablo Picasso "Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'!"

"Believe with all of your heart that you will do what you were made to do."
Orison Swett Marden "Dreams are the touchstones of our character."
Henry David Thoreau "The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. Th e only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. ""Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." Reinhold Niebuhr "A dream is in the mind of the believer, and in the hands of the doer. You are not given a dream without the power of making it come true."

That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all."

Winston Churchill "You are the only one who creates your reality" Esther Hicks "When you get to the end of all the light you know and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen: either you will be given something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly."
Edward Teller "To succeed, you need to take that gut feeling in what you believe and act on it with all of your heart."

The road to success

Will trail right behind." Robert Brault In daily life we must see that it is not happiness that makes us grateful, but gratefulness that makes us happy.

"Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon... must inevitably come to pass!" Paul J.

Betty Smith "You can't do anything about the length of your life, but you can do something about its width and depth. " Shira Tehrani When a thoughtful human being has overcome incentives to vice and is aware of having done his bitter duty, he finds himself in a state that could be called happiness, a state of contentment and peace of mind in which virtue is its own reward.” Immanuel Kant "Throw back the shoulders, let the heart sing, let the eyes flash, let the mind be lifted up, look upward and say to yourself... Nothing is impossible!" Norman Vincent Peale"The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me. " Ayn Rand "I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position one has reached in life as by the obstacles which one has overcome while trying to succeed." Booker T. Washington "To dream anything that you want to dream, that is the beauty of the human mind. To do anything that you want to do, that is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself, to test your limits, that is "Be yourself; everyone else is already taken."
Oscar Wilde "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

Charles H. Spurgeon This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. "No one can go back and make a brand new start, my friend, but anyone can start from here and make a brand new end."
Dan Zadra "He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has."

Charles Reade "The reality of truth is not to be bought, to be sold, to be repeated; it cannot be caught in books.

Krishnamurti "What you do speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say." "What makes humility so desirable is the maarvelous thing it does to us, it crestes in us a capacity for the closest possible intimacy with God" "Promise me you'll always remember:
You're braver than you believe,

and smarter than you think. Christopher Robin As written by A.A. Milne "Believe in yourself. Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers, you cannot be successful or happy."

what solemnity and beauty,
is each new day born;
as if to say to insensate man,
'Behold!
thou hast one more chance!
Strive for immortal glory!"

"If we were logical, the future would be bleak indeed.
But we are more than logical.
We are human beings,
and we have faith,
and we have hope. Jacques Cousteau "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.

Wattles "There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."

Only as far as I seek can I go,
Only as deep as I look can I see,
Only as much as I dream can I be."

St. Augustine When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced.
Live your life so that when you die,
the world cries and you rejoice.
Cherokee Expression "Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."
Howard Thurman

Dr. Frank Richards "Accept the challenges, so you may feel the exhilaration of victory." George S.

In fact, the more successful they became, the more they attributed their success to the lessons learned during their most difficult times. Adversity is our teacher. When we view adversity as a guide towards greater inner growth, we will then learn to accept the wisdom our soul came into this life to learn."
