Its Never Over till You Say It's Over

The power to hold on in spite of everything, to endure,
this is the quality of a winner.
Your greatest glory is not in never failing,
but in rising every time you fail.

It's your constant and determined effort
that will eventually break down all resistance
and sweep all the barriers before you.
Persistence means taking pains to overcome every obstacle,
to do all that's necessary to reach your goal.

All great achievements require time.
Endurance is the crowning quality of success.

We Each Have Special Skills and Talents.

A motivational thought from Sam Maitz LMI inc.

 The important points are not how many gifts you have, but how well you use them and the recognition that you have the personal responsibility to develop and use them effectively. Otherwise, they will diminish like unused muscles that atrophy.

It takes discipline to stay in shape - mentally as well as physically. Challenge yourself to reach full potential instead of accepting “good enough.” Focus and develop your strengths so that weaknesses don’t matter as much. Spend more time on developing your strengths than on trying to correct areas of weakness. Be disciplined, industrious, and persistent. Ask, and then take appropriate action:
  
   •  What are my strengths and possibilities?
   •  What can I do to develop and sharpen those skills?
   •  What do I need to do to become the person I want to be?
   •  How can I use my talents to help my organization reach its goals?

You Are Your Environment

A motivational thought from Sam Maitz LMI inc.

 The first step toward getting somewhere
is to decide that you're not going to stay where you are.
Always be mindful that you are a product of your environment.
So choose an environment that will best develop you
toward your objective.


Analyze your life in terms of your environment.
Are the things around you helping you toward your success,
or are they holding you back?

You're not a captive of your environment.
If you don't like where you are,
change your environment, you're not a tree.
Don't say, "You would, if you could,"
say, "You will, because you can."

When you become a part of anything, it becomes a part of you.

View Every Problem as an Opportunity

A motivational thought from Sam Maitz LMI inc.
used by permission

There is always a good side to every situation. Stay optimistic and try to see an opportunity in your calamities,
not pessimistic and see calamity's in every opportunity.
The optimist sees the doughnut, the pessimist sees the hole.

You can develop success from any failure. Failure is one of the surest stepping stones to success.
No element can do as much for you as failure can,
if you're willing to study it and make capital out of it.

 
When it is dark enough you can see the stars.

There is Always a Good Side

A motivational thought from Sam Maitz LMI inc.

Everything depends on the way you look at things.
View every problem you encounter as an opportunity.
There is always a good side to every situation.

The optimist sees an opportunity in every misfortune.
The pessimist sees misfortune in every opportunity.
The optimist sees the doughnut, the pessimist sees the hole.

You can develop success from every failure.
Discouragement and failure are two stepping stones to success.
No other elements can do so much for you
if you're willing to study them and make them work for you.

When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.

You Won't Get Anywhere Without a Goal

A motivational thought from Sam Maitz LMI inc.
used by permission

A life without purpose is like a ship without a rudder.
The purpose of a goal is to focus your attention.
Your mind will reach toward achievement only when it has a goal.
There is no achievement without goals.

Establish a goal worth working for.
Your goal will keep you going in tough times.

Always have something ahead of you.
Continuously visualize your next step.
Keep moving after you achieve your goal and set another.
Momentum is maintained by always having something to look forward to.
Constantly give yourself something to work for.

Do what you can do well,
and do well whatever you can do.
You can plant your dream.

You Are What You Think

A motivational thought from Sam Maitz LMI inc.

Loved or unloved, happy or unhappy,
attractive or unattractive, powerful or weak.

What you impress upon your mind, you'll inevitably become.
It's a psychological law that whatever you desire to accomplish
you must first impress upon your subconscious mind.

Relentless, repetitive self talk will change your self image.
You'll affect your subconscious mind with verbal repetition.
Constant repetition carries conviction.

When you change your values you'll change your behavior.
Start thinking of yourself as becoming the person you want to be.
Self suggestion will make you the master of yourself.

You can become whatever you want to be.
If you believe you can, you can.
