If you are ever to achieve noteworthy success in your life, you must be
willing to stand apart from the crowd. Success is something that is achieved
by the minority, not the majority, of people. You will also discover as you
climb the ladder of success that there are many who, out of jealousy or
envy, will belittle your achievements. Nevertheless, if you have the courage
of your convictions, nothing can deter you from your course. You develop
confidence in your beliefs by doing your own thinking and by constantly
testing and revising your knowledge. Use W. Clement Stone's R2A2 Principle
to Recognize and Relate, Assimilate and Apply information from any field to
help solve your problems and direct your thinking.

For years, athletes attempted to run a mile in four minutes but it seemed to
be a barrier that no one could overcome. Then on May 6, 1954, a British
runner named Roger Gilbert Bannister ran a mile in 3:59.4 minutes to
establish a world record. Soon afterward, other runners broke Bannister's
record. Too often, we accept conventional wisdom as fact. Make sure you set
your goals high enough. Don't settle for less because of limitations you
place upon yourself. Most of us never really reach the level of achievement
of which we are capable because we don't challenge ourselves to do so.
Perhaps Robert Browning said it best: "A man's reach should exceed his
grasp,/Or what's a heaven for?"

Time and again we hear stories about ordinary people who do seemingly
impossible things when they find themselves in an emergency situation. They
perform herculean feats of strength and endurance, things they never dreamed
they were capable of doing. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could harness
that strength and make it available anytime you need it? You can-if you
believe you can. No doubt you can remember a time in your life when you were
exceptionally focused on your objective, a time when you achieved more in
less time than ever before. Perhaps it was an impending vacation that
motivated you to get everything done before you departed, or perhaps it was
a "must pass" exam that helped you focus your concentration. The intensity
that you developed in those situations is always available to you when you
have a Positive Mental Attitude.

To control the outcome of anything, you control the action at the point of
decision making.

If you let others make decisions for you, you give up control. When you
control the descisions, you control the actions.

It's your life. You decide what you are going to do with it.
If you don't run your own life someone else will. You are in control of
your life to the degree you make decisions.

Take charge of your life so that there is no longer a need to ask permission
of others. When you ask permission, you are giving someone else veto power
over your life.

Take control and start making those decisions. Only you are responsible for
your life.

A successful person makes decisions.

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

Choose to believe something good can happen. Expecting it to happen

What you expect to happen, happens.

Someone once said, "There are no truths; there are only perceptions of
truth." Whether or not you accept this statement, whatever you believe to be
true will become your reality. Your subconscious mind will believe anything
you tell it-if you repeat the words often and with conviction. When you are
faced with a daunting task that you've never attempted before, focus on the
potential for success, not on the possibilities for failure. Break the job
down into smaller elements and tackle each one separately. The only
difference between success and failure in any job is your attitude toward
it.

Horses are massive, gentle creatures who are by far larger and stronger than
the men and women who handle them, yet they docilely obey the commands they
are given. It doesn't seem logical that a large, powerful animal would allow
itself to be mastered by a human being, yet we have been able to use our
intelligence to dominate the animal kingdom. You can use these same forces
to allow the positive side of yourself to dominate the negative. A Positive
Mental Attitude allows you to tap the source of great power that resides
within you, enabling you to accomplish things you never before believed were
possible.

When you develop a Positive Mental Attitude, you immediately set yourself
apart from the crowd. You become a leader because positive thinking leads to
positive action, while negative thinking leads to apathy and inaction. When
you take the initiative in any situation, others will follow simply because
they like to associate with people who know where they are going. In order
to lead, however, you must first be willing to discipline yourself. The
first rule of leadership is never to ask others to do what you are unwilling
to do yourself. You can lead only by example. Being a leader requires you to
work harder and longer than the others and proving you are the master of
your own destiny.

When your enemies outnumber your friends, the answer to the problem most
likely resides within you. Ask yourself, Am I the kind of person I would
like to have as a friend? Do I consider the feelings of others, or do I
think only of myself? Do I try to find the good in others, or am I always
finding fault? When something goes wrong, do I search for a solution to the
problem, or do I look for someone to blame? In the answers to such
questions, you may find the answer to the question: Why do I have more
enemies than friends?

You must keep your mind sharply focused on your goals, and you must have a
grounding philosophy that sustains you when the going is tough. When you
apply the principles of success consistently until they become a part of
you, no longer will you have to stop and think about what you should do in
any given situation. Your positive response will be automatic. Make sure you
spend time in reflection and study. Clearly establish your goals and develop
a plan and timetable for their achievement. Read the works of motivational
writers and the great philosophers, and use the knowledge you gain to
develop your own code of conduct. Establish your own philosophy of success
that you can stick with-day in and day out-regardless of what the rest of
the world does.

"Thoughts of doubt and fear never accomplish anything, and never can. They
always lead to failure. Purpose, energy, power to do, and all strong
thoughts cease when doubt and fear creep in. The will to do springs from the
knowledge that we can do. Doubt and fear are the great enemies of
knowledge, and he who encourages them, who does not slay them, thwarts
himself at every step."

The number one reason most people don't get what they want is that they
don't know what they want.

Clarity is power. Successful people don't send mixed messages to the
universe; unsuccessful people do.

If you say you deserve a million dollars and then say you don't have what it
takes to make a million dollars, the universe gets stuck in limbo. How can
it respond to a contradictory request? It can't.

Get clear and specific about what you intend to bring into your life. Stay
focused. Take consistent steps that back up your intention and do not
waiver. You will see the results unfold.

To your success,

What others think of you is important, as long as it coincides with what you
think of yourself. If you are recognized by others as a positive person who
always makes an important contribution, you will be in demand, for there are
never enough such people in any organization. Your co-workers will value
you, your customers will appreciate you, and your boss will recognize and
reward you if you stick with it. You may not become an overnight success,
but neither will you fail instantly and permanently. Make it a habit to go
the extra mile with a Positive Mental Attitude.

Without a strong foundation built on positive character traits, success will
not long endure. It is virtually impossible to fake good character. Phonies
are quickly spotted because they haven't the substance and determination to
maintain the charade. Developing good character begins with a positive
attitude. Your desire to be a good, decent, honest, considerate person must
first take place in your mind. When you make the decision to become a person
of character, you will also find that you are much more willing to do the
right thing simply because it is the right thing to do.

It is a physical impossibility for a negative mind to generate positive
thoughts. When you allow yourself to dwell on the negative aspects of life,
negative thinking expands to fill all of your thoughts until there is no
room for positive thoughts to grow. It becomes an endless cycle. The habit
of negative thinking generates more and more negative thoughts, which the
mind attempts to turn into physical reality. The result is a life of despair
and hopelessness. Develop the habit of eliminating negative thoughts the
moment they appear. Start small at first. When you first hear that inner
voice that says, "I can't do this," put the thought out of your mind
immediately. Instead, concentrate on the task itself. Break it down into
manageable parts and complete them one at a time. When the job is finished,
tell your doubting self: "You were wrong. I could do it, and I did!"

What a better world this would be if we worked together in harmony toward
the achievement of our shared goals instead of engaging in petty disputes
and turf battles. When you allow yourself to be dragged into personality
conflicts, game playing, arguments about who gets the credit, and
disagreements about trivial issues, they only drain your energy and sour
your attitude. Plus you waste valuable time that could be spent on far more
important matters. When you make an effort to understand others'
motivations, you may well discover that your opponents have far more in
common with you than you think. When you cage your ego and look at the
situation from the other person's point of view, you can almost always find
a way to work together for your mutual advantage.actually looking forward to

It's easy to find fault with any job. Whatever your occupation or
profession, there are always some unpleasant and mundane tasks you would
rather omit. It is also easy to allow the things you dislike to dominate
your thoughts and for you to overlook the fact that the things you dislike
about your work are really a very small percentage of the overall job. Make
it a point to find something good in your job every day. It need not be a
big, important event; simply finding joy in doing one thing particularly
well will suffice. Then, instead of looking forward to the end of the day,
you will find yourself actually looking forward to going to work.

There is no compromise or negotiation when it comes to who will run your
life. Either you take charge and live a productive life of your choosing or
you allow yourself to be ruled by circumstances. But there will inevitably
be setbacks. In the old West, a cowboy expression went: "There never was a
horse that couldn't be rode, and there never was a rider that couldn't be
throwed." Like everyone else, you will have days when everything goes right
and you are on top of the world. Relish those days, enjoy them, and remember
them. Recall the euphoria that accompanied them when you need an extra
measure of positive thinking to get back in the saddle after you've
experienced an embarrassing and painful fall.

Truth isn't a matter of your personal viewpoint. Learn to see things as they
really are, not as you imagine they are.

Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or who says it. No matter what you
believe, it never changes the facts. If they are there, the facts always
speak for themselves.

The truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority
of people.

The old adage "If you can't say something nice about someone, don't say
anything at all" is especially valid today. In any organization, regardless
of size, the rumor mill works overtime when it comes to negative gossip. And
you can be sure that unkind things you say about others will very quickly
find their way to them, for it is also a truism that those who talk about
others to us talk about us to others. Not only should you not speak badly
ofothers-you should not participate in conversations in which others do.
Spend your time with those who focus on important things, and you will never
have to apologize for an unkind word uttered in a moment of weakness.

Of all the negative emotions, envy is perhaps the most insidious. It is
especially sinister because it destroys you from the inside by replacing all
that is positive and productive with negative feelings of anger, jealousy,
and despair. But when you congratulate others upon their successes and
genuinely wish them well, not only do you give credit to those who deserve
it, but you also feel better about yourself. Once you've overcome your envy,
you may want to determine what specific actions the other person took to
achieve success. Meanwhile, you will have strengthened your relationships by
recognizing the achievements of others.

The Bible states that we reap what we sow. The most fertile soil in the
world is barren unless seeds have been properly planted, cultivated, and
nurtured. The relationship between giving and getting is constant in
everything you do. To succeed in any endeavor, you must first invest a
generous portion of your time and talents if you expect ever to earn a
return on your investment. You have to give before you get. It's all a
matter of attitude. You may occasionally be disappointed if you are not
rewarded for your efforts, but if you demand payment for your services
before you render them, you can expect a lifetime of disappointment and
frustration. If you cheerfully do your best before asking for any
compensation, you can expect a bountiful harvest of the greatest rewards
life has to offer.
