Quotes About Achievement

The essential feeling of naturalness can be achieved by persistently filling your consciousness with imagination — imagining yourself being what you want to be or having what you desire.

When a man believes in the value of the advice given him and applies it, he establishes within himself the reality of success.

When you can persuade yourself 100% that you are successful, success is yours! You must become so intense that you completely forget it was only a desire. You must tame the wild, new state you have entered until its naturalness causes you to forget all else. That is how God became you.

Now, here's a practical technique: the first thing you must do is know exactly what you want in this world.

For example; if you assume that you have a wonderful business, you will notice how in your imagination your attention is focused on incident after incident relating to that assumption. Friends congratulate you, tell you how lucky you are. Others are envious and critical. From there your attention goes to larger offices, bigger bank balances and many other similarly related events. Persistence in this assumption will result in actually experiencing in fact that which you assumed.

The essential points in the successful use of the law of assumption are these: First, and above all, yearning; longing; intense, burning desire. With all your heart you must want to be different from what you are. Intense, burning desire [combined with intention to make good] is the mainspring of action, the beginning of all successful ventures. In every great passion [which achieves its objective], desire is concentrated [and intentioned. You must first desire and then intend to succeed].

They refuse to let their craving for short-term comfort divert them from their long-term goal and the blessings that go along with it.

Success is the deliberate, measurable pursuit of prayerfully chosen, written goals.

You need to focus on reaching your goals rather than on the obstacles that stand in your way.

While directing your energy toward "making things fair" is often counterproductive, channeling your spiritual, mental, and physical energy toward achieving meaningful goals is a constructive investment of time.
