#11
– FIND YOUR MASTER KEY
Ø For
example, the great master key to riches is nothing more or less than the self-discipline necessary to help you take full and
complete possession of your own mind. Remember, it is profoundly significant
that the only thing over which you have complete control is your own mental
attitude.
#12
– PUT YOUR LIBRARY ON WHEELS
Ø With
the huge variety of audiotapes and CDs now
available, you can use your time on the road to educate and motivate yourself
at the same time.
Ø If
we would be more selective with how we program our minds while we are
driving,we could have some exciting breakthroughs in two important areas :
knowledge and motivation.
Ø With
motivational and educational audiobooks, it has been estimated that drivers can
receive the equivalent of a full semester in college with 3 months’ worth of
driving!
#13
– DEFINITELY PLAN YOUR WORK
Ø Once
we get the picture of who we want to be, “definitely planned work” is the next
step on the path. It inspires the energy of purpose.
Ø One hour of planning saves three hours of execution / A carefully
planned day can take a third of time that an unplanned free-for-all day takes.
Ø Carefully
planned work will motivate you to do more and worry less.
#14
– BOUNCE YOUR THOUGHTS
Ø If
you always said that you can’t, remember ; it’s not
that you can’t, it’s just that you haven’t.
Ø Think
optimistic thoughts more and more often until it feels natural.
#15
– LIGHT YOUR LAZY DYNAMITE
Ø There
wasn’t any job that couldn’t be handled if they were willing to break it down
into little pieces. And when you’ve broken a job down, remember to allow
yourself some slow motion in beginning the first piece. Just take it slow and
easy. Because it isn’t important how fast you are doing
it. What’s important is that you are doing it.
Ø The
slower you start something, the faster you will be finished. The thought of
starting slowly is an easy thought. And doing it slowly allows you to actually
start doing it. Therefore it gets finished.
#16
– CHOOSE THE HAPPY FEW
Ø The
people you spend time with will change your life in one way or another. If you
associate with cynics, they’ll pull you down with them. If you associate with
people who support you in being happy and successful, you will have a head
start on being happy and successful.
Ø On
the other hand, enthusiasm for life is contagious.
And being in a conversation with an optimist always opens up to see more and
more of life’s possibilities.
#17
– LEARN TO PLAY A ROLE
Ø You
are the thinker who determines who you will be. How you
act is who you become.
Ø You’ll
gather energy and inspiration by being the character you want to play. You can
motivate yourself by thinking and acting like a motivated person.
#18
– DON’T JUST DO SOMETHING . . . SIT THERE
Ø Siting
quietly allows your true dream life to give you hints and flashes of
motivation.
Ø All
of man’s troubles stem from his inability to sit alone, quietly, in a room for
any length of time.
Ø The
only real motivation we ever experience is self-motivation
that comes from within.
#19
– USE YOUR BRAIN CHEMICALS
Ø When
you’re having fun, your body chemistry changes and you get new biochemical
surges of motivation and energy. And there isn’t anything you do that can’t be
transformed into something interesting and uplifting.
Ø Don’t
keep trying to go outside yourself searching for something that’s fun. It’s not
out there anywhere. It’s inside. The opportunity for
fun is in your own energy system – your synergy of heart and mind.
That’s where you’ll find it.
#20
– LEAVE HIGH SCHOOL FOREVER
Ø Before
high school, in our childhoods, we were creative dreamers filled with a
boundless sense of energy and wonder. But in high school, we began fearing what
other people were thinking of us. We were afraid to look bad, and so we made it
a point not to take risks.
Ø It
is time to be aware of what we’re doing and, once again, leave high school.
It’s time to reach back to those pre-high school days of innocent creativity
and social fearlessness.
Ø You can motivate yourself by yourself, without depending on the
opinions of others.
