Paul J. Meyer

“Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon must inevitably come to pass.”

“Success is the progressive realization of predetermined, worthwhile, personal goals.”

“Crystallize your goals. Make a plan for achieving them and set yourself a deadline. Then, with supreme confidence, determination and disregard for obstacles and other people's criticisms, carry out your plan.”

“Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort.”

“Enthusiasm is the electricity of life. How do you get it? You act enthusiastic until you make it a habit.”

“Communication—the human connection—is the key to personal and career success.”

“90% of all those who fail are not actually defeated. They simply quit.”

“Don't let the opinions of the average man sway you. Dream, and he thinks you're crazy. Succeed, and he thinks you're lucky. Acquire wealth, and he thinks you're greedy. Pay no attention. He simply doesn't understand.”

“If you are not making the progress that you would like to make and are capable of making, it is simply because your goals are not clearly defined.”

“Goals are the fuel in the furnace of achievement.”

“Mistakes are merely steps up the ladder.”

“Motivation is the fuel, necessary to keep the human engine running.”

“Enter every activity without giving mental recognition to the possibility of defeat.”

“Attitude is your acceptance of the natural laws, or your rejection of the natural laws.”

“Positive expectations are the mark of the superior personality.”

“People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents.”
