You don’t have to buy from anyone. You don’t have to work at any particular job. You don’t have to participate in any given relationship.

You can choose.

You steer the course you choose in the direction of where you want to be today, tomorrow, or in a distant time to come.

You hold the tiller.

You can decide to alter the course of your life at any time. No one can ever take that away from you. You can decide what you want and go after it.

It’s always your next move.

“Live Full and Die Empty”

You can do anything in this world you want to do, but you must want to do it badly enough.

You really can have everything you want, if you go after it. You have to want it.

The first and most important ingredient of success is desire. Do you know what you want?

Your desire is the planting of your seed.

Your desire for success must be so strong within you that it’s the very breath of your life. It must be your first thought when you wake in the morning, and your last thought when you go to bed at night.

You can be whatever you make up your mind to be. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

To control the outcome of anything, you control the action at the point of decision making.

If you let others make decisions for you, you give up control. When you control the decisions, you control the actions.

It’s your life. You decide what you’re going to do with it. If you don’t run your own life, someone else will. You’re in control of your life to the degree that you make decisions.

Take charge of your life, so there is no longer a need to ask permission of others. When you ask permission, you are giving someone veto power over your life.

Take control and start making those decisions. Only you are responsible for your life.

Cultivating a Positive Attitude
By John C Maxwell

English heart surgeon Martyn Lloyd-Jones asserted, “Most unhappiness in life is due to the fact that you are listening to yourself rather than talking to yourself.” What kind of voices do you hear? When you face new experiences, does a voice in your head say you’re going to fail? If you’re hearing negative messages, you need to learn to give yourself positive mental pep talks. The best way to retrain your attitude is to prevent your mind from going down any negative forks in the road.
To improve your attitude, do the following:
Feed yourself the right “food.” If you’ve been starved of anything positive, then you need to start feeding yourself a regular diet of motivational material. Read books that encourage a positive attitude. The more negative you are, the longer it will take to turn your attitude around. But if you consume a steady diet of the right “food,” you can become a positive thinker.
Achieve a goal every day. Some people get into a rut of negativity because they feel they’re not making progress. If that describes you, then begin setting achievable daily goals for yourself. A pattern of positive achievement will help you develop a pattern of positive thinking.
Write it on your wall. We all need reminders to help us keep thinking right. Alex Haley used to keep a picture in his office of a turtle on a fencepost, to remind him that everybody needed the help of others. As incentive, people put up awards they’ve won, inspirational posters, or letters they’ve received. Find something that will work for you and put it on your wall.
Allow yourself to dwell only on the positiveand not the negative today.
From The Maxwell Daily Reader

YOU’RE ALWAYS IN CHARGE OF YOU

You’re the master of your fate and the captain of your soul.

While your character is formed by circumstances, your own desires can do much to shape those circumstances. Thus, you have the power over the formation of your own character. Nature is always at work around you. Your character and destiny are her handiwork. She gives you love and hate, jealousy and reverence. You have the power to choose which impulse you will follow. You can at any time decide to alter the course of your life. No one can EVER take that away from you. The greatest power you possess is the power to choose.

You’re the master of your joys and your sorrows.

“Belief with enough of it, we can achieve just about anything; without it, we’re essentially paralyzed, blind, and disoriented, and any shot at success is pretty dim. “
Art Burleigh
Belief Is Where It Begins

This is where it all begins—for all of us.

Who talks with you the most? You do. Your own internal conversa­tions—what you think about—are what will ultimately form who you be­come, what you do, and what level of success, accomplishment, and satisfaction you’ll ultimately achieve.

If you’re trying to grow a better network marketing organization—one that’s stronger, bigger, more self-sustaining, and one that finally creates its own momentum for continued growth and renewal—then we know that a bunch of people on our team need our training and help. New distributors often need help in realizing how critical their own beliefs are to achieving success, and they need understanding in what areas to focus on for building belief along with tips on how to do that.

Let’s first look at where most people are starting from. What key things affect our internal conversations, our thinking, our beliefs?

Four Key Belief Elements:

Mental nourishment, our programming (positive and negative–usually it’s a mix). This is the environment we grew up with and which we allow ourselves to be surrounded by now.
Our experiences and references that form our reality—what we know to be true for us so far—the results of all our efforts to date.
Our current beliefs that have helped us get to where we now are and/or have held us back in areas where we can’t seem to get ahead faster.
Our vision—what we hold to be inevitable about where we’re going and what we’re destined to achieve. Too often, this is a weak area that needs serious new, sustained effort so that a bigger vision will drive our self-motivation to propel us into the actions that enable us to accomplish our big dreams and goals.
The six inches between our ears—that’s the real battleground for virtu­ally all of us. That little space is the canvas where it all plays out—what’s holding you back and what’s going to propel you to the achievements that will finally get you all the things you want. A strong belief system will get you there.

Have a Strong Belief

With the right attitude, strong belief, vision, self-motivation, and doing the smart actions, this network marketing industry can provide you with a ve­hicle to achieve the peace of mind you so desire, the time freedom, the finan­cial freedom, and the ability to move from money to meaning and from receiving to contribution. It can be the way to move from a posture of fear that maybe there’s not enough money in the universe to enrich you, too, to a place where you operate from abundance and share success secrets that em­power others so that you become attractive, credible, and influential. From that place, you can then draw those same kinds of people to you and your network—and you’ll grow better in that process, get even more of what you want, and help countless others to do the same!

One big challenge is that mere desire for all that stuff isn’t enough. To get to that level of success requires us to work on our belief systems and on our vision and self-motivation—and then, of course, to take all the actions that will yield results required for success. What I believe affects everything that we do and achieve (or don’t). If our beliefs are strong enough in four key areas, we’ll get involved, develop the needed skills, and take the actions needed to achieve success.

Many people are challenged by the fear of rejection in presenting the huge benefits of their company’s products or services and business opportunity. I was at first. Be­cause action overcomes fear, and stronger beliefs propel more action, the fastest way to conquer that natural fear of rejection is to work hard at first.

Building Your Belief in Four Key Areas:

Belief in your company’s products/services.
Belief in your company
Belief in network marketing.
Belief in yourself
If you’re weak in any one of those areas, your chances for success diminish. Many are weak in the last two areas especially. If you’re brand-new, you may be weak in all four.

Alter some personal work, once you get strong in those four key belief areas, you’ll have posture—big time! And with posture, you’re unstoppable because you then own what your network marketing business is all about. You own knowledge—either personal or third-party, from stories—that your company’s products/services work and have big value! And your own belief that your company’s strength grows as you and your team spread excitement limit its many benefits to new ears and others get involved with you.

Building Belief In The Company

People long for a greater sense of community today—especially since 9/11. Capitalize on this belief by encouraging your team to attend your company’s events—they’ll have a powerful effect. At just one location, you’ll get to meet many of the key company executives and support staffers, plus you’ll get to meet, talk with, and learn from the key field leaders from all over the country (or world).

Another smart move is to visit your company’s main offices and manu­facturing facility. Even if this requires a trip of thousands of miles, it’s a key step in strengthening your belief in the company. You may be with your com­pany for decades, so the more you know about it sooner, the better represen­tative you’ll be for all its offerings, and the more confidence and belief you’ll have in the company, its products, the support it offers and the viability of your long-term relationship.

Call ahead and let the company know you’re coming. They’ll be happy to receive you and set up a tour. Meet the key people there that you interact with already—the customer service and shipping people, the phone reception­ist, those who handle applications and order processing, and as many key ex­ecutives as you can spend even a few minutes chatting with. If you show up with cookies and/or flowers, they’ll appreciate that!

Very few distributors ac­tually do this, so chances are your company will warmly welcome your visit. The most successful distributors have been to a ton of events, have vis­ited company headquarters, and have engaged in lots of personal develop­ment to build their belief in all these areas.

So it’s really important to make continuing investments in yourself—to feed great inspirations to your mind from the experience of your company’s events and conference calls so you de­velop stronger beliefs and better skills. And you’ll learn from other industry leaders who’ve already made the mistakes you should avoid—they’ll teach the necessary course corrections to get onto a success track faster.
