John Patrick Hickey quotes:

Here is one of the biggest reasons why keeping your goals in your mind only is dangerous: your brain leaks!

If you want to achieve success, there cannot be a Plan B.

People who achieve the greatest success are the people who have the most fun getting there.

A dream comes from within you. It is what you were created to do, so it has always been there.

Writing out a goal allows us to see it in words. It creates a statement that does not change; it is something that we can go back to repeatedly for direction and clarity.

On your journey to achievement, you should never be without good positive materials and people who will encourage you, excite you and give you a reason to move forward.

Nothing happens without action!

A goal that is set in your head is only a wish and holds as much form as smoke.

Do not allow your thoughts of what was to steal what can be.

To build a positive attitude you must take some deliberate action. You must be responsible for your thoughts, words, and actions.

Excessive talking about our plans and dreams lessens our energy to do what is needed to achieve them.

Without question, positive thinking will do more for you, will make you feel better, do better, let you have more fun, and be liked by more people than negative thinking ever will.

The secret to wealth is hard work and good management.

Always remember that the lessons you learn in life are never meant just for you. They are like all our gifts, they are meant to be used and shared, never horded and hidden.

The greatest power in the world is choice.

How we talk effects our lives in two very important ways. It shows how we think of others and how we think of ourselves. The fascinating thing is they always run together.

Here is the truth: The journey to achievement is not a destination, it is only a stop over to the next goal.

Mark this on your wall and remember it always: The greatest single most powerful enemy to success is success itself.

It is today that tells you if you learned from yesterday, and if tomorrow is possible.

The greatest weapon you have, and the one that will see you through anything, is a settled determination that you will achieve your dream.

There is a wonderful power that comes when you know that someone will achieve something great due to your help.

Those who care how they look care how they live and they will be the achievers.

There is only one way to success, wealth and achievement and that is through a lot of hard work.

If you are serious about your goals and you truly desire to achieve your dreams, you must write them down.

Asking questions is not a matter of weakness or of being uninformed. In fact, people who ask a lot of questions tend to achieve more and learn more than those who do not.

Those who have learned to behave as winners always end up winners.

The brain is a wonderful thing. It will always give you an answer to the questions you ask. The problem comes from the questions you ask yourself. Your brain will only answer exactly what it is asked.

The big thinking gives us vision, power and direction, but it is the small steps that are the action of the process.

The fact that you are not perfect may come as a surprise to you but it is not a surprise to anyone else.

Each of us have a choice to make. Will we choose to achieve our dreams or will we choose to allow others to use us to achieve their dreams.

Success-minded people tend to be successful, confident, and friendly because they act successful, confident and friendly. People feel comfortable around positive people because positive people feel comfortable with themselves.

Determination knows that you can do what it takes, even if that is hard or frightening, in order to achieve the goal you seek.

Gossip has always been a problem. It is one of the most powerful, addictive behaviors there is. As long as the human race has had a common language they have used it to gossip.
