Positive thinking does not always work, particularly when it is in direct contrast with the picture you have of yourself. Everything that we think, feel, and do is experienced in such a way to be consistent with the picture which has been developed on the inside. Consequently, you may be a very gifted singer, possessContinue reading “THE GREAT MULTIPLYING FACTOR”

DO IT UNTIL “I will until.” How long do we continue to learn our business or profession? Until we’ve learned it. How long do we continue to work toward a goal? Until we reach it. If there is one quality that is possessed by the achievers of the world it is persistence. Every person isContinue reading “Principle #10: Principle of Persistence”

DO IT ANYHOW “Do what needs to be done when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not.” “This is the way, walk in it.” It’s not an attitude that approaches with the clenched fist of demand, but with the open hand of love which reaches out to say, ‘’Come on, followContinue reading “Principle #9: Principle of Self-discipline”

SOME VERVE! “Put everything you’ve got into everything you do.” Enthusiasm can be taught, and when it is, it will be caught. Emerson said that nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is one of the key attitudes for success. Enthusiasm comes from the Greek en theos and literally means “God in us.” EnthusiasmContinue reading “Principle #8: The Principle of Enthusiasm”

BELIEVE IT BEFORE YOU SEE IT ‘’Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). I know, as so many do, that faith is an absolute necessity. Faith is the essential ingredient in all of the principles we have listed. The principles are not on trial, but lackContinue reading “Principle #7: Principle of Faith”

“Do it now!” There comes a point in time when you must move, act, do, perform, work, labor, toil—advance. Action is the key. The most exquisite dream in all the world will remain a dream unless someone gets into motion to make it happen. We’ve got to believe in our dreams, but we also haveContinue reading “Principle #6: Principle of Action”

We harvest the words we plant. Someone has said, ‘’Words once spoke can never be recalled.” Words are strong people-movers. Emerson said, “Speech is power: speech is to persuade, to convert, to compel.” ‘’Whatever you speak out of your mouth will happen, so watch out what you say!” We’re talking about your words. Whatever youContinue reading “Principle #5: Principle of Command”

“Get a clear mental picture of what you want, infuse it with emotion, and hold onto it.’’ You have the power of visualization within you to enable you to have what you want. Einstein said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” Unleash Your Creativity Our creative ability, our imagination, is tremendously important when we talkContinue reading “Principle #4: Principle of Visualization”

“Decide what it is that you want, define it clearly and specifically, and write it down.” Children are dreamers and wishers. Before their imaginations are stifled by parents, their peers, or the realities of the world, they are able to weave magic out of the fabrics of imagination. What Is Your Burning Desire? What doContinue reading “Principle #3: Principle of Creation”

“Get rid of what you don’t want to make room for what you do want.” Emotionally we are attached to attitudes more strongly than we are to material possessions. We have built up habitual patterns of thought about many things. These habit patterns have become our attitudes. “Neurons, then, carrying repetitive thought patterns have theContinue reading “Principle #2: The Principle of Exclusion”
