"When you realize that prosperity is your divine heritage, you should persist in claiming it."

"You can't build a reputation on what you're going to do."
~ Henry Ford

"Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible."
Cadet Maxim

I remember a Tom Peters quote way back in the mid-80's, he said; we are only 6 inches away from success or failure everyday......that is the approximate distance between your 2 ears. For some of you, it could be a little more. It's starts with the right mindset.

No one ever gets ahead, waiting for someone to start!

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
-Helen Keller

"Nobody will think you're somebody if you don't think so yourself."

"Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all."
~Dale Carnegie

In the right formation, the lifting power of many wings can achieve twice the distance of any bird flying alone!

Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.
Vince Lombardi

Smile at strangers and you just might change a life.

Don't count all your money, count your blessings.

Don't tell people your heartaches, tell them your dreams.

Life is a challenge, dare to take it on.

"If you believe in yourself, have courage and never quit, you will achieve your life goals.
The journey towards personal success can sometimes be difficult...
but the rewards are very worthwhile."

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will.
Vince Lombardi

"Remember happiness doesn't depend on who you are or what you have; it depends solely upon what you think. "

"In business, words are words, explanations are explanations, promises are promises, but only performance is reality. "
Harold Geneen

Keep it simple.

Only as high as I reach can I grow.
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.

"I don't think that once you get to one level, you can relax. You've got to keep pushing. "

"Bringing out your own unique brand of creativity into your life and the world can be the most significant thing you'll ever do."

While your character is formed by your circumstances,
your own desires can do much to shape those circumstances.
What is really ennobling in the doctrine of free will is the conviction that
you have the power over the formation of your own character.

Nature is at work around you.
Character and destiny are her handiwork.
She gives you love and hate, jealousy and reverence.
You have the power to choose which impulses you will follow.

You can at any time decide to alter the course of your life.
No one can ever take that away from you.
You are the master or your joys and your sorrows.
The greatest power you possess is the power to choose.

You are the master of your fate.
You are the captain of your soul.

You need to be aware of what others are doing, applaud their efforts, acknowledge their successes, and encourage them in their pursuits. When we all help one another, everybody wins.

Progress is the activity of today and the assurance of tomorrow.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

"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

"Seek out that particular mental attribute which makes you
feel most deeply and vitally alive, along with which comes
the inner voice which says, 'This is the real me,' and
when you have found that attitude, follow it."
— William James

"Happiness is something that comes into our lives through doors we don't even remember leaving open. "
Rose Wilder Lane

"Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy"

"In my experience, there is only one motivation,
and that is desire. No reasons or principle
contain it or stand against it."

How strong is your desire — is it lukewarm, simmering, or a full rolling boil? The day you want to work out even more than you want that extra slice of pizza, that's the day you commit to being fit. The night you just can't sleep because too many business ideas are forming in your brain, that's when you begin to change your life financially. Desire is your continuous motivation.

This is one of my favourites Jack! Thanks again for your everlasting wisdom!

"Will you look back on life and say, "I wish I had," or "I'm glad I did"?"

"Eagles don't flock - you have to find them one at a time. "
~ H. Ross Perot

"Show me someone who has done something worthwhile,
and I'll show you someone who has overcome adversity."
— Lou Holtz

"All our dreams can come true - if we have the courage to pursue them."

~Walt Disney

"Never tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon."
~ Unknown

One of my favorites--

Attitude is more important than facts.
It is more important than the past, than education than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success,
than what other people think or say or do.
It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill.
It will make or break a company, a home, a relationship.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice, every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for the day.
We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that other people will act in a certain way.
We cannot change the inevitable.
The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.
I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90 % how I react to it.
- Charles Swindoll

“To dream anything that you want to dream. That's 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 the courage to succeed.” - Bernard Edmonds

Every night before you fall asleep, replay in your mind the good moments of the day, and give heartfelt thanks for each one of them. Think about the next day also, and intend that it is going to be amazing, that it is going to be filled with love and joy, and that all good is coming to you. Intend that it is going to be the best day of your life. Then when you wake in the morning, BEFORE you get out of bed, declare your intentions again for the day and give deep thanks as though you have received them all.

To the world, you might be just one person, but , to one person you just might be the world. (stolen from another forum)

My all time favorite quote from one of the all time greatest Americans

“Things may come to those who wait...but only the things left by those who hustle.”
-Abraham Lincoln

"Teamwork is not a goal. Teamwork is the by-product of everyone having the same goal."

"When I hear somebody sigh, 'Life is hard,' I am
always tempted to ask, 'Compared to what?'"
— Sydney J. Harris

Yes, life can be a struggle. It can be cruel, relentless, and impossible. But those days are seldom, and they pass as quickly as the clouds overhead. The truth is: If you have your health, you aren't fighting in a war, and your family bond is close, you should count your blessings daily. Because every day life presents such an incredible opportunity to grow, learn, share, laugh, and love.

“Nothing limits achievement like small thinking; nothing expands possibilities like unleashed imagination.” - William Arthur Ward

"If you'll not settle for anything less than your best,
you will be amazed at what you can accomplish in your lives."
— Vince Lombardi
