Will You End Up NowWhere

"If you have no plan or goals to get you somewhere, you will end up nowhere. But if you have written out your visions and goals, you are more likely to reach them. Write down the big vision and plan out small but achievable steps that will get you there. Put dates to each step. Have your accountability partners hold you to those dates. Review your plan often."

-- Henry Cloud

Expand Your Pleasant Thought

"Pleasant thought expands it; unpleasant thought contracts it. Thoughts of courage, power, confidence, and hope all produce a corresponding state, but the one arch enemy of the Solar Plexus which must be absolutely destroyed before there is any possibility of letting any light shine is fear. This enemy must be completely destroyed; he must be eliminated; he must be expelled forever; he is the cloud which hides the sun which causes a perpetual gloom."

-- Charles F. Haanel

Gaining Confidence with Task

"If I start something with the hardest task, I will quickly wear myself out. You need to start with things you know you can do with a minimum of effort. Working this way means that you don’t fall at the first hurdle, and that will give you more confidence. Work on today and leave tomorrow until the time comes.“

-- John Bird

-- Newt Gingrich

Don't Just Sit Around and Wait

"If the economy is lousy, do not wait for it to change. Gain a skill in a different field, look somewhere else, find another niche that is hot, enlarge your network or openness to other jobs, start your own service business, or something. Do not just sit around and wait."

-- Henry Cloud

How To Be More Courageous

How To Boost Your Confidence

"Feeling sorry for ourselves often stems from a lack of confidence in our ability to handle problems. We tend to think that we’ll never get through something. Remind yourself of times when you’ve solved problems and coped with tragedy in the past.  Reviewing your skills, support systems, and past experiences can give you an extra boost of confidence that will help you stop feeling sorry for yourself."

-- Amy Morin

What To Do When You Feel Physically and Mentally Disturbed

"When you feel physically and mentally disturbed, the best thing you can do is to let go, relax, and still the wheels of your thought processes.  Speak to your subconscious mind. Tell it to take over in peace, harmony, and divine order. You will find that all the functions of your body will become normal again. Be sure to speak to your subconscious mind with authority and conviction. It will respond by carrying out your command."
