Successful people make decisions

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

To control the outcome of anything,
you control the action at the point of decision making.
If you let others make decisions for you, you give up control.
When you control the decisions, you control the actions.

It’s your life. You decide what you’re going to do with it.
If you don’t run your own life, someone else will.
You’re in control of your life to the degree that you make decisions.

Take charge of your life, so there is no longer a need to ask
permission of others.
When you ask permission, you are giving someone veto power
over your life.

Take control and start making those decisions.
Only you are responsible for your life.

The Daily Guru

It’s never over until you say it’s over.

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

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.

Overcome fear with action

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

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.

The Daily Guru

Every failure is a step closer to success

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

People who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed.
Experiencing failure is inevitable on your journey to be successful.

Every defeat is merely an installment to victory.

You’ll find that the number of times you succeed is in direct proportion to the number of times you fail and keep trying. You won’t be judged by the number of times you fail, but by the number of times you succeed.

Failure is nothing but education, nothing but the first step to something better.

You can’t be a winner and be afraid to lose.

The Daily Guru

Focus on your future not on your past

Sunday, May 4th, 2008

Your future is a big adventure.
Prepare for your future don’t live in the past.
Savor your good memories,
use any bad ones as lessons in life.

Carve out a niche for yourself in your imagined future.
Think, feel and see yourself as successful.
To achieve any goal in life, you need to project your end result.
Think of the elation, the satisfaction, the joy you’ll feel.
Carry these ecstatic feelings with you every day
and they’ll bring your desired goals into view.

Sooner or later, you can win if you think you can.
The cards you are dealt in life
are less important than the way you play them.
Everyday you’re offered a new deal and new cards.

Success is in your future if you’re willing to work for it.
