"Make a habit of daily goal setting and achieving for the rest of your life. Focus on the things you want rather than the things you don’t want. Resolve to be a goal-seeking organism, moving unerringly toward the things that are important to you."
-- Andrew Clancy
"Your expectations determine the next ring, your attitude—the outward manifestation or reflection of your values, beliefs, and expectations. If you have a positive attitude, others will be drawn to you, and you will be more likely to find success. Your attitude determines the fifth ring: your actions. You are happiest when your outside actions are congruent with your values on the inside."
-- Andrew Clancy
"Everything you do or achieve in life —every thought, feeling, or action —is controlled and determined by your self-concept. Your self concept precedes and predicts your levels of performance and effectiveness in everything you do. It is the master program of your mental computer; everything you accomplish in your outer world is a result of your self-concept."
-- Andrew Clancy
"Determine what is holding you back. What is the major reason you are not doing the things you truly want to do? Find others who are achieving success in these areas and determine what they are doing that you are not and what skills they have that you do not."
-- Andrew Clancy
"You have incredible mental powers that you habitually fail to use to their full extent. By systematically setting goals for your life and making detailed plans to achieve them, you will save yourself years of hard work and use vastly more of your thinking powers than the average person."
-- Andrew Clancy
"While your conscious mind enables you to identify and analyze your environment, your subconscious mind contains the great powers that allow you to accomplish great things. It is essential that you learn to tap into these powers in order to achieve your goals."
-- Andrew Clancy
"When you make a firm commitment to achieve a particular goal, you step on the accelerator of your subconscious mind, enabling you to be more creative, determined, and focused than ever before."
-- Andrew Clancy
"You must fight the temptations that keep you from completion of the tasks that lead to achievement. You must force yourself and discipline yourself to resist these temptations and push through to completion. Do what you must: Set benchmarks and create balanced scorecards, measures, metrics, and deadlines for every key task. These things activate your subconscious forcing system, enabling you to start earlier, work harder, stay later, and get the job done."
-- Andrew Clancy
"There will always be obstacles that stand between you and anything you want to accomplish. The ability to solve problems is essential in any successful endeavor, and you possess that ability, if you desire the goal intensely enough; nothing can hold you back."
-- Andrew Clancy
"Avoid the comfort zone. Many people become complacent with their current situations; they become so comfortable in their job or relationship that they avoid making any changes at all, even for the better. People who get stuck in a comfort zone, combined with learned helplessness, are almost impossible to help in any way."
-- Andrew Clancy
"Manage Your Time Well To achieve all your goals and become everything you are capable of becoming, you must get your time under control—this is key to your feelings of happiness, confidence, power, and personal well-being. A sense of control is only possible when you practice excellent time management skills."
-- Andrew Clancy
"Visualize Your Goals Continually Your ability to visualize is perhaps the most powerful faculty that you possess. All improvement in your life begins with an improvement in your mental pictures. You are where you are and what you are today largely because of the mental pictures that you hold in your conscious mind. As you change your mental pictures on the inside, your world on the outside will begin to change to correspond to those pictures."
-- Andrew Clancy
"Each time you move forward in the face of adversity and disappointment, you build up a habit of persistence. You become stronger, prouder, and more powerful; you deepen your levels of self-discipline and personal strength. You develop the iron quality of success, the one quality that will carry you forward and over any obstacle that life throws in your path."
-- Andrew Clancy
"The secret to high performance and satisfaction—at work, at school, and at home—is the deep human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world."
-- Andrew Clancy
