To be truly happy, you need a clear sense of direction. You need a commitment to something bigger and more important than yourself. You need to feel that your life stands for something, that you are somehow making a valuable contribution to your world.

A goal without a plan is only a dream.

What are the critical success factors of your job? What must you be absolutely, positively excellent at doing to be successful?

The only real antidote to worry or problems is systematic, purposeful action in the direction of your goals.

Your earning ability is largely determined by the perception of excellence, quality, and value that others have of you and what you do. The market only pays excellent rewards for excellent performance. It pays average rewards for average performance, and it pays below average rewards or unemployment for below average performance.

You are a living magnet. What you attract into your life is in in harmony with your dominant thoughts.

According to the best research, less than 3% of Americans have written goals, and less than 1% review and rewrite their goals on a daily basis.
