Paul J. Meyer

Imagine something new, or you will only go where you have been.

Instead of letting the hard times get me down, I've learned to keep going at to look for the hidden good.

What you fill your mind with is eventually translated into the words you speak, and then your words create action.

We are what we think we are - not what we appear to be on the outside.

Do a little bit more than average and from that point on our progress multiplies itself out of all proportion to the effort put in.

Consider every mistake you do make as an asset.

Writing crystallizes thought and thought produces action.

Enthusiasm glows, radiates, permeates and immediately captures everyone's interest.

Enthusiasm is the yeast that raises the dough.

The act of choosing to forgive is not easy at the moment of hurt and pain, but in the long run, it is the only way to go.

Crystallize your goals. Make a plan for achieving them and set yourself a deadline. Then, with supreme confidence, determination and disregard for obstacles and other people's criticisms, carry out your plan.

Enter every activity without giving mental recognition to the possibility of defeat. Concentrate on your strengths, instead of your weaknesses... on your powers, instead of your problems.

Goal setting is the most important aspect of all improvement and personal development plans. It is the key to all fulfillment and achievement.

If you are not making the progress that you would like to make and are capable of making, it is simply because your goals are not clearly defined.

Mistakes are merely steps up the ladder.

Your self-image is the result of all you have given your subconscious mind as a database, so regardless of your background, what you are willing to become is the only reality that counts.

Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort.

Success is the progressive realization of predetermined, worthwhile, personal goals.

By forgiving, we are training ourselves to be strong, confident, joyful, peaceful, happy, and loving. These positive attributes end up affecting every part of our lives.

Life is a painting, and you are the artist. You have on your palette all the colors in the spectrum - the same ones available to Michaelangelo and DaVinci.
