Self-disciplined begins with the mastery of your thoughts. If you don't control what you think, you can't control what you do. Simply, self-discipline enables you to think first and act afterward.
Don't wait. The time will never be just right.
The moment you commit and quit holding back, all sorts of unforeseen incidents, meetings, and material assistance will rise up to help you. The simple act of commitment is a powerful magnet for help.
You can be anything you want to be, if only you believe with sufficient conviction and act in accordance with your faith; for whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.
The number one reason people fail in life is because they listen to their friends, family, and neighbors.
The starting point of all achievement is desire.
Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.
Those who reach decisions promptly and definitely, know what they want, and generally get it.

Nobody rises above mediocrity unless they use the brains of other people.
Life reflects your own thoughts back to you.
You will attract to yourself people who harmonize with your own philosophy of life, whether you wish it or not.
