“Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.” - Jim Ryun

“The entrepreneur is essentially a visualizer and an actualizer… He can visualize something, and when he visualizes it he sees exactly how to make it happen.” - Robert L. Schwartz

“I will act now. I will act now. I will act now. Henceforth, I will repeat these words each hour, each day, everyday, until the words become as much a habit as my breathing, and the action which follows becomes as instinctive as the blinking of my eyelids. With these words I can condition my mind to perform every action necessary for my success. I will act now. I will repeat these words again and again and again. I will walk where failures fear to walk. I will work when failures seek rest. I will act now for now is all I have. Tomorrow is the day reserved for the labor of the lazy. I am not lazy. Tomorrow is the day when the failure will succeed. I am not a failure. I will act now. Success will not wait. If I delay, success will become wed to another and lost to me forever. This is the time. This is the place. I am the person.” - Og Mandino

“All your life you are told the things you cannot do. All your life they will say you’re not good enough or strong enough or talented enough; they will say you’re the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or be this or achieve this. THEY WILL TELL YOU NO, a thousand times no, until all the no’s become meaningless. All your life they will tell you no, quite firmly and very quickly.
AND YOU WILL TELL THEM YES.” - Nike Ad

Increase your faith. Live a little and go beyond what you currently believe you can do. Believe more, and you will see more. There is no limit to what you can make happen. If someone asked another person to walk on water they would say that is impossible. However, it is recorded in history that Jesus did it, and he said that anything he does on earth we can do the same, plus more. So it’s time we start living in faith and doing what some may say is impossible. Although “Impossible is not a word in my dictionary - Walt.”

“I can guarantee this truth: This is what will be done for someone who doesn’t doubt but believes what he says will happen: He can say to this mountain, ‘Be uprooted and thrown into the sea,’ and it will be done for him.” - Mark 11:22-23

Consistency is a must! There is no way that you could truly be successful at anything without being consistent in taking the action. Whenever you start something, finish it! Don’t slack off, not once, no matter the condition. Doing so, tells yourself unconsciously that it is ok to slack off. Then next thing you know you are slacking off on everything. You don’t want that. You want to tell yourself that consistency is a must, and it is apart of you.

Think about this. You have a goal to knock down a very large tree. It is you, and an ax. You are excited at first about knocking down this tree. However, after a while, you become tired and you see that the tree hasn’t fail yet according to your expectations. So you give up, and your left by yourself with an ax and a tree that is still standing. Common sense would tell you that you would need to keep hitting the tree in order for it to fall. The truth is, eventually it will fall, but if you quit and give up then it won’t. It really doesn’t take a big person to get the job done. You don’t have to be the strongest person either. You just need the right tools, and consistency in using those tools over and over again. As you do it over and over again, bit by bit of the tree will be cut, and eventually it will have no choice but to fall.

Now the example above clearly demonstrates the way success is at anything. Apply consistency with the right tools and you will accomplish what ever you wish. The right tools in this case would be having the right mindset, and believing in yourself that anything is possible. You also need to become conscious of the thing you are trying to do. These are the tools, but without action they are useless. It’s like a hammer and a bunch of nails, just sitting around without being used. Once you have the tools you have to take the action and be consistent. With genuine faith added, you will accomplish anything it is you desire. Regardless of what others may think.

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you” - Matthew 7:7

Every winner knows that enthusiasm is key to being successful and performing great. Without enthusiasm you lack the energy boost that could leap you into achievement. If you are walking slowly around at your job with your head down with no energy, you shouldn’t expect great results at all. Definitely don’t expect a raise. People want those who are enthusiastic about everything, in other words, they want someone with an enthusiastic personality and character. With this particular trait, it enables confidence for others to trust you to get the job done.

If you go to a clothing store and ask an associate for help, lets say you do go to an unenthusiastic person. They are not going to perform at their highest potential, their goal is to make it until its time to get off. However, if you go to someone who has a lot of energy and is very enthusiastic, they will be more than happy (and excited) to help you. Someone who wants to help you will give you more as opposed to someone who is walking around lifeless. So if you need help and if the associate is not already smiling before you approach them, look for someone else. You want 100% effort, not 5. Besides, enthusiastic people get enthusiastic tips!

Anything that you do, look at the results that you have been getting from doing it in the past. Take note, and then start applying enthusiasm to it. I guarantee you will start to see different if not dramatic results. The point is to have fun, be energetic and alive. This is your natural state of being. You are supposed to live this way. God would much rather see his people enthusiastic about life rather than walking around like a zombie.

Enthusiasm counts for everything. You can take it and apply it to anything that you are doing. Your business, job, relationship, exercise, driving your car, anything. The important thing as Nike said it best, is to “Just Do It”. It won’t hurt you to be more enthusiastic. Really, whether you believe it or not, it actually doesn’t take too much of a requirement either. Only thing you have to do is decide to be enthusiastic. Everything else falls into place. You will feel more energetic, and happy. Its a simple choice, you just have to forget the fact that you “think” you are tired. The truth is you are what you think and feel. Choose Enthusiasm.

More opportunities can be seen for those who are enthusiastic. No one on the face of the earth would want to not be enthusiastic. Although many are unenthusiastic, and don’t know why or how to be. As I said earlier, it starts with the decision to be enthusiastic. Then, you must actually be enthusiastic.

So upgrade now to enthusiasm and you will see immediate results! Plus when you choose to upgrade, you get lifetime support from God! So don’t wait, offer ends when you end. Tomorrow is not promised, live for the moment!

Literally, everything is actually free, you choose what you want in life. The only thing you pay, is attention. You invest with the things you want and don’t want with your thoughts. It’s not when you think about something one time either. Whenever you are consistently thinking about something, it becomes a habit. Whenever you get to the point were you habitually think about something, in a way, that is who you are. Habitual thinking actually becomes habitual actions. Your thinking becomes your life. So with that said, you have the choice to choose the thoughts you want to.

Invest time throughout the day and visualize your goals and make them as clear as possible. You will only receive according to how clear you can see whatever it is you desire. It is a simple but hard thing for some people to do. It is simple because all you have to do is think consistently about the thing that you want. It can be hard because so many people have A.D.D. when it comes to focusing on what they want as opposed to what they don’t want. It seems as if it is easier to focus on what you don’t want in life, anybody can do it effortlessly. The real challenge is focusing 100% on what you do want, and being 110% consistent. Can’t really explain why it seems as if it is set up that way, but the only thing I can say is that life would be too easy and boring if we didn’t have challenges. Look at the challenges in your life as a game.

A game is designed to be a challenge. With no challenge there is no game, and it’s boring. If you have fun playing a game with a challenge, you can certainly have fun (if you choose to) with life’s challenges. It just depends if you are that bold or not. Have fun going through them and successfully completing them rather than being miserable. Remember it can happen, you choose your attitude. You choose rather something makes you happy or sad. Might as well enjoy everything while you are here.

I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure: which is: Try to please everybody. - Herbert B. Swope:
