"Human beings are made of body, mind and spirit. Of these, spirit is primary, for it connects us to the source of everything, the eternal field of consciousness."

— Deepak Chopra

24 hours in a day, same each and every day... The measure of time is what we make of it.

Imagination

Man can create nothing which he does not first conceive in thought. Through the aid of the imagination, thought impulses may be assembled into plans.

"Remember you will not always win. Some days, the most resourceful individual will taste defeat. But there is, in this case, always tomorrow - after you have done your best to achieve success today."

— Maxwell Maltz

You can tell by the company people choose what sort of character they have

As the saying goes, “Birds of a feather flock together.” We usually choose friends and business associates who like the same things we do, people who share the same values. If you choose happy, positive, productive companions, the odds are that you are or will soon become happy, positive, and productive yourself. Unfortunately, the reverse is also true. Unhappy, negative, destructive people are sure to drag you down with them. Choose to spend most of your time with persons who have PMA — a Positive Mental Attitude. If your job requires you to spend time with negative people, limit that time to the best of your ability and above all don’t let them discourage you with their negativism. Instead, display your own PMA

When the going is hardest, just keep on keeping on, and you’ll get there sooner than someone who finds the going easy.

If you think achieving great heights of success will be easy, you either don’t understand at all how the process works or you have your sights set too low. Reaching the top of any field is difficult, time-consuming, and often tedious. The reason it isn’t crowded at the top is that most people won’t do the things that are necessary to achieve success. They are all too willing to give up when the going gets tough. If you need inspiration to persevere, read the biographies of men and women who have achieved greatness in their lives. You will find that they prevailed because they refused to quit. They continued to toil alone long after the masses had given up and gone home.

Getting what you want starts with being grateful for what you already have. ~ Eric Broser

Decisions

We do not worry over conditions once we have reached a decision to follow a definite line of action.

Inspired Quote of the Day™

Believe in your moments of revelation, believe in yourself, take action, and watch the world conspire to support you. ~ Elise Ballard

"Happiness is native to the human mind and its physical machine. We think better, perform better, feel better, and are healthier when we are happy."

— Maxwell Maltz

"But possibly I am something more than I suppose myself to be." — René Descartes

Why wait for that storm to pass when you can learn to dance in the rain? ~ Dr. Elaine Campbell

Only those who have the habit of going the second mile ever find the end of the rainbow.

It is a fact of life that most of us try and fail many times before we ultimately achieve the level of success that we desire. You can expect to travel the extra mile many times only to find fool’s gold at the end of your rainbow. But you will most certainly miss out on the great riches that await you if you quit trying. A superficial commitment to doing more than expected based only on what you expect to receive will not sustain you in the long term. Great achievement results from a commitment to do the right thing regardless of the consequences, and that commitment will ultimately lead you to the pot of gold at the end of your rainbow.

Belief

There is a difference between wishing for a thing and being ready to receive it. No one is ready for a thing until he believes he can acquire it. The state of mind must be belief, not mere hope or wish. Open-mindedness is essential for belief. Closed minds do not inspire faith, courage, and belief.

In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take, relationships we were afraid to have, and the decisions we waited too long to make.

The things you didn’t do when you had the chance. That priceless relationship you neglected. Those important words you left unspoken…

Every one of us has experienced feelings of regret. But it’s not too late to set things straight. We’re still here breathing. Right now we have an opportunity to change our future. Right now we can choose to erase regret from our later years.

"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

You come finally to believe anything you tell yourself often enough — even if it is not true.

If you repeat something over and over to yourself, your subconscious mind will eventually begin to accept it as fact. When something has been accepted as truth by your subconscious mind, it will work overtime to transform the idea into physical reality. You can take advantage of this by programming your mind to think positive thoughts. Use self-motivators or affirmations to persuade your subconscious that you are capable of doing anything you wish. Repeat the self-motivator several times a day until it becomes an automatic reaction to recall a positive phrase whenever you begin to doubt yourself. Replace “I can’t” with “I will!”

“True bliss is finding happiness in the moment, in what is. Doing whatever you love in life will bring that happy moment, but first you must figure out what that thing is that's most important to your happiness. And to figure it out takes self-reflection. That's where practice and process needs to happen. Every day." Sheila Hageman

"Visualize this thing that you want, see it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blue print, and begin to build." — Robert Collier

"Look deeper into the actions you take and the truths you take for granted. Ask why and then ask why again."

It isn’t defeat, but rather your mental attitude toward it, that whips you.
There are many things in life that you cannot control, but you can always control your attitude toward them. Defeat is never permanent unless you allow it to be so. When you have a positive attitude, you will recognize failure for the impostor that it is and realize that it is really a learning experience, a valuable lesson that will help you succeed with the next attempt. Ask yourself: What could I have done differently that would have altered the outcome? What can I do in the future to minimize problems and mistakes? What did I learn from this experience that I can put to good use next time? If you approach obstacles and setbacks with a positive attitude, you will be surprised how quickly you can turn defeat into victory.

"What we think, we become."

— Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta: the founder of Buddhism

I believe in the POWER of believing, because I know that if you believe in something strongly enough then NOTHING is impossible! ~ Ellen Whitehurst

"The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire not things we fear." Brian Tracy
