Belief & Self-Image Wednesday, September 26, 2007

Belief is knowledge that we can do something. It's that inner feeling that what we
undertake, we can accomplish. So in belief, there is power; our eyes are opened; our
opportunities become plain; our visions become realities. (the best of success)
Success is knowing that something is going to happen.
One person with belief is equal to a force of 99 who only have interest. (John Stuart
Mill)
If you want to know what your true beliefs are, take a look at your actions.
If you don't see yourself as a winner, then you cant perform like a winner.
When you've got expectancy, then things are going to happen.
Whether you believe you can or can't, you are right either way. (Henry Ford)
When the human mind is in doubt, it is most easily swayed by the slightest of
impulses.
A belief is not just an idea a person possesses, it's an idea that possesses a person.
You must first be a believer if you ever want to be an achiever.
God meets us at the level we believe, not the level we hope.
He who believes is strong, he who doubts is weak. Strong convictions precede great
actions.
You may still succeed if no one else believes in you, but you will always fail if you
don't believe in you.
What you believe is the force that determines what you will accomplish or fail to
accomplish in life.
The picture you have of yourself is exactly how you will perform.
You can change your motivation by the way you think about yourself and your
circumstances.
The greatest simple cause of a poor self-image is the absence of unconditional love.
For a good self-image, choose your friends & associates carefully.
Self-improvement is a life long process.
Many intelligent people never move beyond the boundaries of their self-imposed
limitations. (John Maxwell)
There is no such thing as can't, only won't.
Our best friends and our worst enemies are the thoughts we have about ourselves.
(Dr. Frank Crone)
Self-image sets the boundaries and limits of each of our individual accomplishments.
(John Mason)
You cannot consistently perform in a manner different than you see yourself.
Boldness & No Excuses Wednesday, September 26, 2007
5:13 PM
Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and
magic in it. (W.H. Murry)
If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.
It's good to be a Christian and know it, but it's better to be one and show it.
I would rather be disliked for what I am than liked for what I am not.
If a man can't be a Christian in the place where he is, then he can't be a Christian
anywhere. (Henry Ward Beecher)
It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.
No one should negotiate their dreams, you should never surrender your dreams.
(Rev Jesse Jackson)
One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar. (Helen Keller)
Too many people let others stand in their way, and don't go back for one more try.
Don't pray for easier lives, pray to be a stronger man!!!!
Truth is always strong no matter how weak it looks, and falsehood is always weak no
matter how strong it looks.
Be bold & Strong. (Joshua 1:9)
No matter what you do in life, you have to have a strong foundation.
Success favors the bold.
When you don't have strength from within, then you'll never have respect from
without.
The problems of this world have been caused by the weakness of goodness rather
than the strength of evil.
The bold people always continue. They are eyed by the eagles; the lighting plays
about them; the hurricane is furious. No matter, they preserve (Victor Hugo)
You can make excuses or make money, but you can't do both at the same time.
A single reason why you can do something is worth 100 excuses why you can't.
99% of failures come from people that have a habit of making excuses.
Excuses are the tools that a person with no purpose or vision uses to build great
monuments of emptiness.
Many times the attempt to maintain balance in life is really just an excuse for being
lukewarm.
Quitting, giving up, failing, judging--all these begin with an excuse.
Poor people are rich in excuses, rich people are poor in excuses.
When you use an excuse, you give up your power to change.
Is God your hope or your excuse??
You will learn more from your adversity than from prosperity.
Give an excuse only if you would accept it from someone else.

The World Needs Men & Women :
- Who can't be bought;

qualities for success;

There is nothing worse than a Christian going to a heathen banker to borrow money.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in times of comfort and
convenience, but rather where he stands at times of challenges and controversy.
(Martin Luther King Jr.)
The size of a man is determined by the size of the things that get him mad.
A persons true character is revealed by what he does when no one is watching.
Circumstances and adversity don't make a man, they reveal the man.
Be more concerned by what God thinks of you than what other people thinks of you.
I'd rather be disliked for what I am than liked for what I'm not.
Ability will get a man to the top but it takes character to keep him there. (John
Wooden)
Reputation is built in a moment, character is built in a lifetime.
The way a man wins shows much of his character, but the way he loses shows all of
it.
Encourage others to display their character by displaying yours.
Reputation is made by what you fall for and character is made by what you stand for.
Its not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are. (Roy Disney)
Character is what we are when our face is in the mud.
-Doubt sees the obstacle; Faith sees the way,
-Doubt sees the darkest night; Faith sees the day,
-Doubt dreads to take a step; Faith soars on high,
