Life is a classroom in which you’re being tested, tried and passed. You can’t predict what will happen to you.
But, you can decide what happens inside you, how you take it, and what you do with it.
The real test of living is how you take each experience and make it a thing of worth and beauty. Everything you go through has some value.
The highest qualities of success and character must be earned.

You have the power and the opportunity to change your life. You can make anything you want of it. It’s not difficult, it just takes some effort.
See things as you would have them be instead of as they are. Develop a personal plan that focuses on what you want, not on what you have.
Your imagination will show you how to turn possibility into reality. Visualize your goals and your subconscious will work toward making those mental picture come true.
When you picture yourself as vividly winning, that alone will contribute immeasurably to your success.
Knowing your destination is all you need to get there.

You can’t be beaten at anything, until you quit in your own mind. There is no failure except in your not trying. There is no defeat except from within.
You have no really insurmountable barrier except your own inherent weakness of purpose. The odds are with you if you keep on trying.
Consider yourself on a very long journey. Sustain your personal vision of success until you achieve it. In the end, you can fail only if you don’t try.
Winning isn’t everything, but wanting to is. Success is a road that’s paved with perseverance.

The power to hold on in spite of everything, to endure, this is the quality of a winner.
Your greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising every time you fail.
It’s your constant and determined effort that will eventually break down all resistance and sweep all the barriers before you. Persistence means taking pains to overcome every obstacle, to do all that’s necessary to reach your goal.
All great achievements require time. Endurance is the crowning quality of success.

One of the greatest surprises you’ll experience, is when you discover that you can do what you were afraid you couldn’t do.
Your obstacles will melt away, if instead of cowering before them, you make up your mind to walk boldly through them.
Do the thing you fear and fear disappears. Confront your fears, list them, get to know them and only then will you be able to put them aside and move ahead.
When you face the things that scare you, you open the door to freedom.
The only thing you have to fear, is fear itself..

It’s not what you have, but what you enjoy that constitutes your abundance. Your real riches are riches in your head and heart.
Wealth without enjoyment is little consolation. True satisfaction comes from appreciating what you have.
There are two ways of being happy: you must either diminish your wants or augment your means. It’s always better to appreciate things you cannot have than to have the things you cannot appreciate.
Your riches will always lie within you, not in your material possessions…

Everyone who got where they are had to begin where they were. Your opportunity for success is right in front of you.
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 and move toward it.
Don’t procrastinate when faced with a difficult problem. Break your problems into parts and handle one part at a time.
Develop a tendency toward action. You can make something happen today. Break your big plan for success into small steps and take the first step right away.
Success starts with a first step.

The first step toward getting somewhere is to decide that you’re not going to stay where you are.
You’re a product of your environment. So choose an environment that will best develop you toward your goals.
Analyze your life in terms of your environment. Are the things around you helping you toward your success or are they holding you back?
Your world today is a living expression of how you are using and have used your mind. It’s something that you can change at any time.
You don’t have to remain a captive of your environment.
Don’t say “If I could change, I would change,” say “I can change, and I will change.”

A life without purpose is like a ship without a rudder. Goals are dreams that are written down.
The purpose of a goal is to focus your attention. Your mind will reach toward achievement only when it has a goal.
There is no achievement without goals.
Establish a goal worth working for. Your goal will keep you going in tough times.
Always have something ahead of you. Continuously visualize your next step. Keep moving after you achieve your goal and set another.
Momentum is maintained by always having something to look forward to. Constantly give yourself something to work for.
Do what you can do well, and do well whatever you can do and you’ll achieve any goal that you set for yourself.
You can plant your dream with a goal.

You can learn from other people to make up for your lack of experience in any area of life.
Be open and receptive to the people around you. They have things to teach you. Take advantage of the people that have made the journey ahead of you.
Try to pick the right role models. Don’t look for people that make you feel good or entertain you. Look for people that can help you. Role models are more than people you like and admire.
The key is to look for people that will help you to be more successful. You can learn from the mistakes of others. You can learn different approaches to overcoming challenges.
Learning “what not to do” is as important as learning “what to do.”
