Big thinkers are specialists in creating positive, forward-looking, optimistic pictures in their own minds and in the minds of others.

Persons who reach the higher rungs in business management, selling, engineering, religious work, writing, acting, and in every other pursuit get there by following conscientiously and continuously a plan for self-development and growth.

Believing something can be done sets the mind in motion to find a way to do it.

Remind yourself regularly that you are better than you think you are. Successful people are not superhuman. Success does not require a super-intellect. Nor is there anything mystical about success. And success isn't based on luck. Successful people are just ordinary folks who have developed belief in themselves and what they do. Never...yes, never...sell yourself short.

Believe Big. The size of your success is determined by the size of your belief. Think little goals and expect little achievements. Think big goals and win big success. Remember this, too! Big ideas and big plans are often easier -certainly no more difficult - than small ideas and small plans.

The thought "It's impossible" sets off a chain reaction of other thoughts to prove you're right.

Life is too short to waste. Dreams are fulfilled only through action, not through endless planning to take action.
