We must radiate success before it will come to us. We must first become mentally, from an attitude standpoint, the people we wish to become.

Be positive, cheerful, grateful and expectant.

On Christmas morning, our joy or our happiness can be at a very high level, not because of our anticipation of what we might receive but, rather, in anticipation of watching our loved ones open our gifts to them. In fact, if we're not careful, we can fail to register sufficient excitement and joy upon opening the gifts we receive from others. We must remember that they are happiest at that time and to give them top billing, to stretch their happiness to its full length.

Failures . . . believe that their lives are shaped by circumstances ... by things that happen to them ... by exterior forces.

Don't wait for change. You change.

We are at our very best, and we are happiest, when we are fully engaged in work we enjoy on the journey toward the goal we've established for ourselves. It gives meaning to our time off and comfort to our sleep. It makes everything else in life so wonderful, so worthwhile.

The strangest secret in the world is that you become what you think about.
