"Vision without execution is just hallucination." - Henry Ford
"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together." - Marilyn Monroe
"If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward." - Martin Luther King

"Drifting, without aim or purpose, is the first cause of failure." http://ping.fm/JxX3q

Without a plan for your life, it is easier to follow the course of least resistance, to go with the flow, to drift with the current with no particular destination in mind. Having a definite plan for your life greatly simplifies the process of making hundreds of daily decisions that affect your ultimate success. When you know where you want to go, you can quickly decide if your actions are moving you toward your goal or away from it. Without definite, precise goals and a plan for their achievement, each decision must be considered in a vacuum. Definiteness of purpose provides context and allows you to relate specific actions to your overall plan.

"When one experiences truth, the madness of finding fault with others disappears." Goenka
"Few people take objectives really seriously. They put average effort into too many things, rather than superior thought and effort into a few important things. People who achieve the most are selective as well as determined." Richard Koch

"Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. And Today? Today is a gift. That's why we call it the present."
Babatunde Olatunji ... I love this quote
"All compromise is based on give and take, but there can be no give and take on fundamentals. Any compromise on mere fundamentals is a surrender. For it is all give and no take." Mahatma Gandhi
"Aim for the moon. If you miss, you may hit a star." W. Clement Stone
If you know your own mind, you know enough to keep it always positive.

You may not fully understand the complex process that causes electricity to be generated and transmitted to your home. But you understand very well how to apply and use it to illuminate your home, power your computer, and perform hundreds of other essential tasks. The same is true of your mind. No one understands the incredibly complex workings of the brain; we know only that when we use our mind in a certain way, we achieve a desired result. If we think positively, we achieve positive results.
"Do your job precisely as if you were your own boss, and sooner or later you will be." Makes perfect sense to me!

"It’s not the epitaph on your tombstone but the record of your deeds that may perpetuate your name after death." Good deeds live on in the minds of others. When you do a kindness for someone else, you set in motion a force for good that will remain long after you’re gone.

"There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them." Denis Waitley
Desire

A burning desire to be and to do is the starting point from which the dreamer must take off. Dreams are not born of indifference, laziness, or lack of ambition.
"Life is about choices. Everything is possible. The only person stopping you from making things happen is you. Be open to opportunities around you and be proactive to make your dreams come true." ~ Sylvia Gautier
"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." — Dale Carnegie

"Ability is greater than money because it can be neither lost nor stolen."
"Ability is greater than money because it can be neither lost nor stolen."
"Your ability is the one thing that you own exclusively. No one can ever take it from you."
If you study the lives of very successful people, you will find that they rarely climb to the top of their business or profession and stay there. They often climb to the top and fall to the bottom several times during their careers, but they know that the one thing that got them where they are —their ability — is always there to help them reach the top again.

"Individuals with positive mental attitudes are never found in a rut."
http://ping.fm/wxS7Y

Individuals with a positive attitude are those who somehow always manage to find something new and interesting even in the most mundane tasks. They don’t allow themselves to be bored, because they are always seeking ways to do things faster, better, and more efficiently. If you make it a practice to find better ways to do the same old things, you will soon be marked for advancement. You will be supervising others who are performing your old job because you’ve proven that you are a person who can be counted on to take the initiative and do what needs to be done without being told.

"You can’t control others’ acts, but you can control your reaction to their acts, and that is what counts most to you." http://ping.fm/hQUZ3
No one can make you feel any negative emotion — fear, anger, or inferiority — without your express permission. There will always be people who find perverse enjoyment in upsetting others, or who simply play upon your emotions so that they can use you for their own selfish purposes. Whether or not they are successful depends entirely upon you and how you react to their negative behaviors. When you are forced to deal with such people, recognize from the outset that they are trying to upset you, not because of something you may have done to them, but because of some problem they have with themselves. Tell yourself, “This isn’t about me. I will not allow this person to upset me. I am in control of my emotions and my life.”
"It‘s not where we stand but in what direction we are moving."

"A most beneficial use of time is silent meditation, while searching for guidance from within."

http://ping.fm/y34US

We all experience rare moments when a blinding revelation comes to us, when we suddenly see things differently than ever before. Usually, however, we learn the truth about ourselves gradually, over long periods of time, from quiet introspection. We are all spiritual, but some of us have learned to tap more effectively into the great strength that resides in the spiritual portion of ourselves. The spirit is not boisterous and noisy. Getting in touch with your spiritual self demands tranquility and solitude. Make sure you dedicate a portion of every day to thought and study, to think and reflect upon your life. Choose a time and place that best allow you to relax your mind and devote your thoughts to reflection.
"Thoughts are sending out that magnetic signal that is drawing the parallel back to you." — Dr. Joe Vitale

"If you are really great, you will let others discover this fact from your actions." http://ping.fm/ZdzHO

In the final analysis, all that really matters are your actions. You may talk a good story, but no matter how good you are at selling others on your capabilities, eventually you have to perform. It is true that people are generally forgiving and will overlook an occasional failure to deliver upon your promises. Ultimately, though, you must live up to your promises to others if you ever expect to make a lasting impression on them. Make it a habit to demonstrate your abilities before talking about them. Seldom is anything worthwhile achieved without the help of others, and nothing is ever achieved without some form of action. The road to failure and despair is littered with the dreams of those who failed to act upon them.
"A leader has the vision and conviction that a dream can be achieved. He inspires the power and energy to get it done." Ralph Nader
"If you turn it over to the universe you will be surprised and dazzled by what is delivered to you. This is where magic and miracles happen."

NAPOLEON HILL'S THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

"Don’t be discouraged. It’s often the last key in the bunch that opens the lock." Unknown
"The road to success is dotted with many tempting parking places." Unknown
"Always desire to learn something useful." Sophocles
The individual who only does enough work to get by seldom gets much more than “by.”

There is a cause-and-effect relationship between your actions and the rewards that accrue to you. When you put more of yourself into your career, your personal relationships, your religious faith, and any other aspect of your life, you get more out of it. If your ambitions are greater than simply “getting by” in life, you will never be truly happy with your company, your job, or yourself unless you do your best every day. Your harshest critic and your toughest competitor should be you.

"Attend well to your character, and your reputation will look out for itself." - http://ping.fm/MpWdH

Most of us at one time or another have been misunderstood by those who are important to us. They thought we planned to take an action they disliked when in truth our intentions were to proceed in an entirely different direction. Such misunderstandings are usually quickly righted and life goes on. The same is true with character and reputation. If your reputation is for some reason misaligned with your character, it will soon quickly right itself when others discover for themselves that you are not at all the kind of person they had assumed you were. If your foundation is strong, you never need to be concerned about such misunderstandings. Others will learn soon enough what kind of person you really are. Spend your time and energy in constant self-inspection and self-improvement, building strong character, and you will never have to worry about what others think of you.

NAPOLEON HILL'S THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Success without humility of heart is apt to prove only temporary and unsatisfying.
Change is scary, but life holds so many gifts when we live in a state of GRACE –Gratitude, Respect, Accountability, Courage, and Engagement. When it’s time for shifting, be ready and you can shift gracefully. ~ Suzanna Gratz

“If you want to be happy for a year, plant a garden; If you want to be happy for life, plant a tree” ~ English Proverbs
Breakthroughs occur every day because a determined person continues to search for solutions to complex problems long after everyone else has given up and gone home.
Nature yields her most profound secrets to those who are determined to uncover them.

The field of science is perhaps the best illustration of how success always seems to come to those who apply the principle of accurate thinking in a persistent, determined effort. America’s great inventor Thomas A. Edison is said to have failed 10,000 times in his attempt to develop a workable electric light bulb. He learned from each failure and refused to quit until he succeeded. Use this approach in 2012 and watch what happens!
"When you are in the zone, your intuition comes to the forefront, ... Your intuition will guide you. It is your best friend. It has information your mind does not have. When you are a zone performer — no matter what it is you do — you are operating on intuition and you have an unfair advantage
over the competition." — Jim Fannin: Nightingale-Conant author

"If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got." — High-tech proverb
Good intentions are useless until they are expressed in appropriate action.

Good intentions may be an appropriate starting point for achievement, but they will go nowhere unless you follow through with action. Many people confuse intentions with achievement; after all, it is the idea that is most important, they reason. In reality, the most mediocre idea acted upon is far more valuable than a flash of genius that resides only in your mind. Developing the habit of action may be difficult at first, but the more you practice it, the easier it becomes.
