ABILITY
God does not begin by asking us about our ability,
but only about our availability,
and if we then prove our dependability,
he will increase our capability!
Neal A Maxwell

ACHIEVEMENT
Achievement seems to be
connected with action.
Successful men and women keep moving.
They make mistakes but they don't quit.
Conrad Hilton
American Hotelier
1887 - 1979
Four
steps to achievement:
Plan purposefully
Prepare prayerfully
Proceed positively
Pursue persistently
William A. Ward
The greatest achievements can only be
built
on the foundations of great goals and great aspirations,
and it is infinitely more pleasurable, exciting and rewarding
to live with great dreams
than to exist cautiously with lesser aspirations.
DeWitt C. Smith
I have more respect for the fellow with a single idea
who gets there
than for the fellow with a thousand ideas who does nothing.
Thomas Alva Edison
ACTION
Some
people dream about the future
but don't do much to move into it with
power.
They don't realize that what they do - or
don't do - now
will profoundly affect their future.
Paul V. Johnson
Once you know what you want
it won't make
any difference to you or
anyone else unless you act,
taking the steps you need to take
to reach your goals and fulfill your dreams!
Jace Carlton
Often the difference
between a successful person and a failure
is not one has better abilities or ideas,
but the courage that one has to bet on one's ideas,
to take a calculated risk - and to act.
Maxwell Maltz
American Cosmetic Surgeon and Author
1899 - 1975
What we think, or what
we know, or what we believe,
is, in the end, of little consequence.
The only consequence is what we do.
John Ruskin

wait for inspiration to start a thing.
Action always generates inspiration.
Inspiration
seldom generates action.

right track,

You can blame people who knock things over in the dark,
or you can begin to light candles.
You're only at fault if you know about the problem
and choose to do nothing.
Paul Hawken
What we think, or what we know, or what we believe is, in the end,
of little consequence.
The only thing of consequence
is what we do.
John Ruskin

There is an innocence in admiration;
it is found in those to
whom it has not yet occurred
that they, too, might be admired some day.

ADVERSITY
When it's cloudy and stormy
outside
remember that the sun is still shining
above it all.
When
we rise up through the storm
there
will always be a light to show us the way.
Jace Carlton
Do not
fear the winds of adversity.
Remember, a kite rises against the wind rather than with it.

If we had not winter,
the spring would not be so pleasant;
if we did not sometimes taste of adversity,
prosperity would not be so welcome.

First woman to have her works published in Colonial America
1612 - 1672
AIM
HIGH!
In the long run men hit only what they aim at.
Therefore, though
they should fail immediately,
they had better aim at something high.
Henry David Thoreau
One of the saddest lines in the
world is
"Oh, come now - be realistic."
The best parts of this world
were not fashioned by those who were realistic.
They were fashioned by those who dared to look hard at their wishes
and gave them horses to ride.
Richard Nelson Bolles
Far away in the sunshine are my highest aspirations.
I may not reach them,
but I can look up and see their beauty,
believe in them,
and try to follow where they lead.
Louisa May Alcott
BE
TRULY ALIVE!
Seek out that
particular mental attitude
which makes you feel most deeply and vitally alive,
along with which comes the inner voice which says,
"This is the real me."
William James

1842 - 1910
We can only be said to be alive in those moments
when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.

ATTITUDE
Ability is what you're
capable of doing.
Motivation determines what you do.
Attitude determines how well you do it.

Every
pessimist who ever lived has been buried in an unmarked grave.
Tomorrow has always been better than today, and it always will be.

There
is
little difference in people,
but that little difference
makes a big difference.
That little difference is attitude.
The big
difference is whether it is positive or negative.

Go ahead!
Have a bad attitude!
Revel in it!
Jump right into it with everything you've got!
Really, REALLY enjoy the experience of having a BAD attitude!
See if anybody cares!
And if somebody comes up to you and comments on your bad attitude ...
SHARE IT WITH THEM!
The same goes for a positive attitude.
In the end, it all depends on the RESULTS you want.
Jace Carlton
"We who lived in concentration
camps
can remember the men who walked through the huts
comforting
others, giving away their last piece of bread.
They may have been few
in number,
but they offer sufficient proof
that everything can be taken
from a man but one thing:
the last of the human freedoms—
to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances,
to choose one’s own
way."
Viktor Frankl
Our lives are not determined by what happens to us,
but by how we react to what happens.
A positive attitude is a catalyst ...
a spark that creates extraordinary results.

I've never lost.
I've just been a little behind
when time ran out.
Vince Lombardi
A positive attitude is a powerful force for good,
giving life to everything it touches.
