Expect to Succeed
The dreams you choose to believe in come to be.
When you feel in your innermost being
that you will achieve what you set out to do,
you open the way for miracles.
Choose to believe something good can happen.
Expecting it to happen energizes your goal
and actually gives it momentum.
What you expect to happen, happens.
If you expect to succeed, you'll succeed.
When you feel in your innermost being
that you will achieve what you set out to do,
you open the way for miracles.
Choose to believe something good can happen.
Expecting it to happen energizes your goal
and actually gives it momentum.
What you expect to happen, happens.
If you expect to succeed, you'll succeed.

Don't Quit
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won if he'd stuck it out.
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man;
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are -
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

YOU CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING YOU IMAGINE
Picture yourself in your mind's eye
as having already achieved your goal.
See yourself doing the things you'll be doing
when you've reached your destination.
Your imagination is your mental workshop
where all your plans are fashioned.
Visualize your goals and you'll get your subconscious
to work toward making your mental pictures come true.
Olympic medalists use the art of mental rehearsal or visualization.
They mentally run through important events before they happen.
Decide what you want out of your life.
Sense it before you have it.
See it, feel it, taste it, smell it and imagine
the emotions associated with the attainment of your goal.
Pre-live it in your mind before you have it.
Your vision will become a powerful driving force in your life.
See the things you want as already yours,
and one day, they will be yours.

Young Dreams
Smiling from ear to ear, looking at the shiny new paint and chrome, feeling and smelling the new rubber. He wanted to scream with joy! This had to be the greatest day of this little boy’s life! It couldn’t get any better! At the age of six his father bought him his first, brand new minibike. Coming from a very large and poor family, he knew he had to be the luckiest boy in the world or he had just created a huge miracle! (One minibike equaled a whole lot of food and clothing for the family.)
The rule or stipulation for having this new gift was that is was to be used to transport himself from home to work and back only!
He thought…”yeah, I can deal with that!”
As the years passed, still abiding by the rule, his passion for riding grew more and more; it soon became his first love.
Because of so many kids to tend to and endless work schedule his Father often forgot about him, he was left to fend for himself. Soon he was riding himself to school, to little league practice, to the grocery store (which he often volunteered for). And that mini bike became a part of him. Life was good!
Fast forward to his early teens and a new, much larger, and faster motorcycle. (He could barely touch the ground with the tip of his toe.) Adapting to it very quickly, he soon realized that he really loved riding bikes and that he was becoming a pretty good rider.
Growing up in a small desert town, during the winter months, he got a chance to test his skills against amateur and semi pro riders from the big cities, often beating them or at least, giving them a good challenge. When asked if he raced or was on a race team, he responded, “ No, I just ride” “Well, you should be on a team!” they responded.
As he entered junior high and went on to high school, all he could think about was his passion for riding his dirt bike. Perhaps it brought him peace and fulfillment and for a moment took him away from the pressures of being an adolescent. Self confidence was high and life seemed magical. Everything just flowed!
Quietly, he made a decision to do what he loved, to race dirt bikes. Fearing ridicule, he kept it to himself.
Finally, the opportunity to share his dream with those around came.
Ahh… Career Orientation class, with the piles of books listing all the possible careers, salaries, years of education, all available for him to choose from. No problem, he thought.
Well, after feverishly looking through all the books, his dream career Motocross racer/ Dirt bike racer was nowhere to be found. Confused, self-doubt rose its ugly head. “What if it’s not possible for me,” he thought. “It doesn’t exist. It’s not in the book! Maybe I missed it”, he thought. Something must be wrong.
Somehow sensing his trouble, the teacher pounced! So mister, what are you choosing as a career? Stalling for a moment, he swallowed and answered, “I want to be a motocross racer!” The teacher erupted in laughter, followed be the entire class! “You can’t make a living racing dirt bikes!” he shouted. “It’s not listed in the book!” Mortified, he just shriveled into his chair and held on powerless, as if he was in a really bad dream ready to crash.
It became a daily routine. The humiliation, pain, and agony felt like a pounding hammer on his head. This went on for the rest of the high school years, as everyone attempted to “save” him. He was a good kid, just needed some guidance.
All the “authority figures” were there to help. The parents, the girl friend and her parents, his buddies, their parents, other teachers and siblings all lovingly and caringly told him “you cant do that!” get a real career, something good!
His whole beingness felt and believed wholeheartedly in what he wanted to do.
He loved to ride. It was the only thing that mattered.
Not a salary, education or prestige!
Slowly, but surely, the opinions of others crept in, along with self-doubt, and a huge lack of confidence, happiness, and fulfillment. A huge part of him got lost, and he started making wrong and poor decisions. Confirming others were right. Soon angst, confusion, self-doubt, and second guessing decisions became normal to him. And thus became, living a life of “I don’t want to do the wrong thing”. “How could I be so stupid”, occupied his mind. Life became seemingly difficult. And sadly, in the end, at the ripe old age of 19, his dreams were shattered, and he settled for a less than amazing life.
Sound familiar? Millions of people of all ages go through this same scenario on a daily basis, living unfulfilled lives of despair and settling for less.

No Chance
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS NO CHANCE Don't think about the things you can't do.Think about the things you can do.No matter what the level of your ability is,you have more potential than you can ever develop in a lifetime.You have powers you never dreamed of.You can do things you never thought you could do.There are no limitations to what you can do except the limitations of your own mind.Your range of available choices right now is limitless.Look at things as they can be.Never say never.

Never work again!
Real success is achieved when you like what you do.
No one can succeed in any endeavor that they don't like.
If you don't love what you're doing, then don't do it.
Your chances of success are directly proportional
to the degree of pleasure you derive from what you do.
Do something that you have a deep personal interest in.
Do something you'd enjoy spending twelve to fifteen hours a day
working at, and the rest of the time thinking about.
Don't set compensation as your goal.
Find work you like and the compensation will follow.
Work is not your punishment.
It's your reward, your strength and your pleasure.
When your vocation becomes your vacation,
you'll never work another day in your life.
