Most humans, in varying degrees, are already dead. In one way or another they have lost their dreams, their ambitions, their desire for a better life. They have surrendered their fight for self-esteem and they have compromised their great potential. They have settled for a life of mediocrity, days of despair and nights of tears. They are no more than living deaths confined to cemeteries of their choice. Yet they need not remain in that state. They can be resurrected from their sorry condition. They can each perform the greatest miracle in the world. They can each come back from the dead.

I will not allow yesterday's success to lull me into today's complacency, for this is the great foundation of failure.

Always seek out the seed of triumph in every adversity.

You will move in the direction you are facing.

I will act now. I will act now. I will act now. With these words I can condition my mind to perform every action necessary for my success.

Laugh and your life will be lengthened for this is the great secret of long life.

My procrastination which has held me back was born of fear ... now I know that to conquer fear I must always act without hesitation and the flutters in my heart will vanish. Now I know that action reduces the lion of terror.... I will walk where the failure fears to walk.
