Paul J. Meyer quotes:

Communication - the human connection - is the key to personal and career success.

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

Enter every activity without giving mental recognition to the possibility of defeat. Concentrate on your strengths, instead of your weaknesses... on your powers, instead of your problems.

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.

Enthusiasm is the yeast that raises the dough.

Goal setting is the most important aspect of all improvement and personal development plans. Confidence is important, determination is vital, certain personality traits contribute to success, but they all come into focus in goal setting.

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

Determine what specific goal you want to achieve. Then dedicate yourself to its attainment with unswerving singleness of purpose, the trenchant zeal of a crusader.

A burning desire is the greatest motivator of every human action. The desire for success implants 'success consciousness' which, in turn, creates a vigorous and ever-increasing 'habit of success'.

Plan your progress carefully; hour-by hour, day-by-day, month-by-month. Organized activity and maintained enthusiasm are the wellsprings of your power.

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

Enthusiasm glows, radiates, permeates and immediately captures everyone's interest.

Mistakes are merely steps up the ladder.

Do a little bit more than average and from that point on our progress multiplies itself out of all proportion to the effort put in.

A burning desire is the greatest motivator of every human action.

An affirmation is simply a positive declaration of something you believe to be true or something you expect to become true and desire to live by. Affirmations transform your thinking, your attitudes, and finally, your behavior. Their impact on attitudes and behavior help to produce the results you desire.

Construct your determination with sustained effort, controlled attention, and concentrated energy. Opportunities never come to those who wait ... they are captured by those who dare to attack.

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

Writing crystallizes thought and thought produces action.

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.

Concentrate on your strengths, instead of your weaknesses... on your powers, instead of your problems.

Neither fear nor resist change - cultivate it.

Forget about the business outlook... be on the outlook for business.

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

I never wanted to do away with my intensity because I felt it was a gift that helped put fuel in my engine, giving me exceptional drive and energy.

If you don't have discipline, you don't have anything

Most time is wasted, not in hours, but in minutes. A bucket with a small hole in the bottom gets just as empty as a bucket that is deliberately kicked over....

The ability to delegate begins with believing in the potential of people.

The natural principle of sowing and reaping is always at work. Whatever you plant , whether physical, spiritual, mental, financial, relational, or emotional, will grow and someday return to you in a multiplied fashion. It can be incredibly good or terribly bad, depending on your seed.

There isn't a ruler, a yard stick or a measuring tape in the entire world long enough to compute the strength and capabilities inside you.

You achieve what you believe in, look for, and work for.

You never work for someone else. The truth is someone is paying you to work for yourself.

Your mind believes what you tell it.
