Definiteness of Purpose
is the starting point of all achievement.

Don't be like a ship at sea without a rudder,
powerless and direcionless.
Decide what you want, find out how to get it,
and then take daily action toward achieving your goal.
You will get exactly and only
what you ask and work for.
Make up your mind today to go after it! Do it now!

Successful people move on their own initiative,
but they know where they are going before they start.

The Mastermind principle consists of an alliance of two or
more minds working in perfect harmony for the attainment
of a common definite objective.

No two minds ever come together without a third
invisible force, which may be likened to a "third mind."
When a group of individual minds are coordinated and
function in harmony, the increased energy created through
that alliance becomes available to
every individual in the group.

No man can become a permanent success without taking
others along with him.

Faith is a state of mind which may develop by
conditioning your mind to receive Infinite Intelligence.
Applied faith is the adaptation of the power received
from Infinite Intelligence to a definite major purpose.

Both poverty and riches are the offspring of thought.
When faith is added to thought, the subconscious mind
instantly picksup the vibration, translates it into
its spiritual equivalent, and transmits it to
Infinite Intelligence. Faith is the only agency through
which the cosmic force of Infinite Intelligence
can be harnessed and used.

You can do it if you believe you can.

Render more and better service than that
for which you are paid, and sooner or later you will receive
compound interest on compound interest
from your investment. For it is inevitable that every seed of
useful service you sow will multiply itself and come back
to you in overwhelming abundance.

Put your mind to work. Access your ability and energy.
Who could use your help? How can you help?
It doesn't take money... all it takes is ingenuity
and a strong desire to be genuine service. Helping others to solve
their problems will help you to solve your own.

The most successful people are those who
serve the greates number of people.

A pleasing personality is the aggregate of all the agreeable,
gratifying and likable qualities of any one individual.

Believe in yourself - first and foremost!
What you believe yourself to be, you are.
The attitudes you transmit to others will tell more about
yourself than the words you say or how you look.
Enthusiasm comes from within.
It is a PMA characteristic.
You can generate enthusiasm by your thoughts,
feelings and emotions.

It is essential that you develop a Pleasing Personality -
pleasing to yourself and others.

Personal initiative bears the same relationship to an
individual that a self-starter bears to an automobile!
It is the power that starts all action.
It is the power that assures completion
of anything one begins.

Personal initiative is the inner power that starts all action.
It is the dynamo that spurs the faculty of your imagination
into action and inspires you to finish what you start.
Personal initiative is self-motivation.

Today's employer usually is yesterday's employee
who found opportunity waiting for him
at the end of the second mile.

Your mental attitude is the medium by which you
can balance your life and your relationship to people and
circumstances - to attract what you desire.

We are all born equal in the sense that we all have equal
access to the Great Principle: The right to control our
thoughts and mental attitude. A positive Mental Attitude
is the greatest of life's riches... it is through this attitude
that anything worthwhile is achieved.

Keep your mind on the things you want and off the things
you don't want. Remember the old proverb:
"Be very careful what you set your heart on,
for you will surely achieve it."

Enthusiasm is a state of mind.
It inspires action and is the most contagious of all emotions.

Enthusiasm is a combination of mental and physical energy
which is seldom found in an ailing body.
It thrives best where sound physical health abounds.
Sound health begins with the development
and maintenance of health consciousness,
just as economic success begins with
prosperity consciousness.

To be enthusiastic - act enthusiastically!

Self-discipline, or self-control, means
taking possession of your own mind.

The power of thought is the only thing over which any
human being has complete unquestionable control.
We have the power of self-determination,
the ability to choose what our thoughts and actions will be.
If you direct your thought and control your emotions,
you will ordain your destiny.
Take charge of your life. You are what you think!

Direct your thoughts,
control your emotions
and ordain your destiny!

Accurate thought involves two fundamentals.
First, you must separate facts from mere information.
Second, you must separate facts into two classes -
the important and the unimportant.
Only by so doing can you think clearly and accurately.

Accurate thinkers permit no one to do their thinking
for them. Gather information and listen to the opinions
of others, but reserve for yourself the privilege of
making decisions.

Truth will be truth, regardless of a closed mind,
ignorance or the refusal to believe.

Controlled attention is the act of coordinating all the
faculties of the mind and directing their combined power to
a given end. It is an act which can be achieved only by the
strictest sort of self-discipline.

Learn to fix your attention on a given subject, at will,
for whatever length of time you choose.
You will have learned the secret to power and plenty!
This is concentration.

Keep your mind on the things you want
and off the things you don't want!

Teamwork is the willing cooperation and coordination of
effort to achieve a common goal. Teamwork is sharing a
part of what you have - a part that is good - with others!

Teamwork differs from the Mastermind principle in that it
is based on coordination of effort without necessarily
embracing the principle of Definiteness of Purpose or the
principle of absolute harmony, both of which are
essential to a Mastermind Alliance.

Harmonious cooperation is a priceless asset which you can
acquire in proportion to your giving.

Every adversity you meet carries with it a seed of equivalent
or greater benefit. Realize this statement, and believe in it.
Close the door of your mind on all the failures and
circumstances of your past so your mind can operate in a
Positive Mental Attitude.
Every problem has a solution - only you have to find it!

If you develop an "I don't believe in defeat attitude," you
will learn that there is no such thing as defeat - until you
accept it as such! If you can look at problems as temporary
setbacks and stepping-stones to success, you will come to
believe that the only limitations you have are
the ones in your own mind.

Remember: every defeat, every disappointment
and every adversity carries with it the seed of
an equivalent or greater benefit.

Creative vision is a quality of mind belonging only to men
and women who follow the habit of going the extra mile,
for it recognizes no such thing as the regularity of working
hours, is not concerned with monetary compensation,
and its highest aim is to do the impossible.

Creative vision is definitely and closely related to that state of
mind known as faith, and it is significant that those who
have demonstrated the greatest amount of creative vision are
known to have been men with a great capacity for faith.
This is both logical and understandable when we recognize
that faith is the means of approach to Infinite Intelligence,
the source of all knowledge and all facts,
both great and small.

The imagination is the workshop of the soul wherein are
shaped all plans for individual achievement.

Follow work with play, mental effort with physical,
eating with fasting, seriousness with humor, and you will be
on the road to sound health and happiness.
Don't try to cure a headache.
It's better to cure the thing that caused it.

Whatever you possess, material, mental or spiritual,
you must use it or lose it.

You are a mind with a body! Since your brain controls
your body, know that sound physical health is dependent
upon a Positive Mental Attitude. Establish sound,
well-balanced health habits in work, play, rest,
nourishment and study, and develop and maintain positive
thought habits. Remember, what your mind focuses upon,
your mind brings into existence.

If you think you're sick, you are.

Effectiveness in human endeavor calls for the
organized budgeting of time. For the average man the 24
hours of each day should be divided as follows:
8 hours for sleep, 8 hours for work,
8 hours for recreation and spare time.

The successful person budgets time, income
and expenditures, living within his means.
The failure squanders time and income
with a contemptuous disregard for their value.

Tell me how you use your spare time and how you spend
your money, and I will tell you where and what you will be
ten years from now.

The orderliness of the world of natural laws gives evidence
that they are under the control of a universal plan.

Man is the only living creature equipped with
the power of choice through which he may establish his
own thought and behavior patterns.
You have the power to break bad habits
and to create good ones in their place - at will.

You are where you are and what you are because of your
established habits and thoughts and deeds.
