The true worth of a man is to be

Marcus Aurelius

It's a dangerous conception of mental hygiene

to assume that what man needs is equilibrium.

What man actually needs is not a tensionless

state but rather a striving and struggling

for a worthwhile goal.

Viktor Frankl

The price of anything is the amount of life

you exchange for it.

Henry D Thoreau

He who has a why to live

can bear almost any how.

Friedrich Nietzsche

The key to success is to focus our conscious

mind on things we desire, not things we fear.

Brian Tracy

Decide who you will be five years from now and then vizualise what success looks and feel liks for you.

- What do you look like and how are you dressed?

- Who are the people you surround yourself with?

- Where do you live? What does your home look like?

- Are you traveling to some exotic location or in an office at your dream job?

- Where do you go to have fun and who do you enjoy spending your time with?

- In what ways do you give back to your community?

- What do people know you for and how will you be remembered?

Once you have established this vision clearly in your mind's eye, begin writing out an in-depth description of this version of you that you just saw. Write your account in the first person and as though you have already achieved the healthy body and vibrant lifestyle you just envisioned.

Imagination is the beginning of creation.

You imagine what you desire,

you will what you imagine

and at last you create what you will.

George Bernard Shaw

Your legacy is every life you've ever touched.

Maya Angelou

Close your eyes and feel yourself

already having what you want.

This takes you from a state

of wanting to a state of being.

Mastin Kipp

Don't think money does everything or

you are going to do everything for money.

Voltaire

If you will keep being your best,

you will come into a life that is

beyond your expectations.

Aristotle

Victory is reserved for those

who are willing to pay its price.

Sun Tzu

Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is

necessary. If fulfils the same function

as pain in the human body. It calls

attention to an unhealthy state of things.

Winston Churchill

SPECIFIC:

- What, specifically, are you ready to work on achieving?

MEASURABLE:

- What measuring stick will you use to make sure you are staying on track?

ACTIONABLE:

- What steps of action will you be taking on the path to achieving your goals?

RELEVANT:

- What will achieving this goal contribue to the overall vision you created for yourself in step 1?

TIME BOUND:

- Create a window of time to achieve your goal and commit to it.

- Reaffirm to yourself every morning how much time you have left to complete it,

then again before going to sleep.

Dreams are free, but goals have a cost,

which are time, effort, sacrifice and sweat.

Usain Bolt

Your M.O. should be one or two sentences and reflect what it is you are going after and how you are going to achieve it, concisely and with precision.

Recite it daily, anchoring yourself to the pursuit of achieving your goal.

Most people just want to be in the result and not

in the process, and it's in the process where you

realize who deserves to be in the result.
