You are unique!

Whatever your mind can conceive and believe, it will achieve. Dream great dreams and make them come true. Do it now. You are unique! In all of the history of the world, there was never anyone exactly like you, and in all the infinity to come, there will never be another you.

Never affirm self-limitations. What you believe yourself to be, you are! To accomplish great things, you must not only act but also dream. Not only plan, but also believe. If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost--put foundations under them! Yes, you can!

Believing is magic! You can always better your best. You never know what you can do until you try. Nothing will come of nothing. If you don't go out on a limb, you're never going to get the fruit. There is no failure except in no longer trying. Hazy goals produce hazy results.

Clearly define your goals. Write them down, make a plan for achieving them, set a deadline, visualize the results and go after them! Just don't look back unless you want to go that way. For every obstacle there is a solution. Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. The greatest mistake is giving up.


Wishing will not bring success, but planning, persistence and a burning desire will. There is a goldmine within you from which you can extract all the necessary ingredients.

Success is an attitude. Get yours right!

It is astonishing how short a time it takes for wonderful things to happen.
Now, show us the color of your rainbow!

-Barbara Smallwood and Steve Kilborn
