GOD HELPS THEM WHO HELP THEMSELVES
Do not look to others to solve all your problems. Take responsibility and use the gifts God has given you to solve your own problems.
Pray for the wisdom and strength to help yourself.

Self - motivation & positive attitude are really significant for achieving great heights...........
In order to be self-motivated, you must be self-confident : if you believe in you others will too!!!
Self-motivated action occurs when you have a pool of energy to draw from. So, your success will depend on your health, your fitness, your mental well-being & the amount of rest you get.
To act right, you have to look right & feel right as worry often gives a small thing a big shadow.
Failing means you were not as prepared as you could have been -- but keep trying because you are never a failure until you completely give up.
Success isn't the opposite of failing.A runner may come in last but if he beats his highest record, he succeeds.
A motivated person views problems as challenges; you'll be successful if you allow problems to motivate you to find simple, productive solutions.
Remember, your best can always be made better.
Believe that whatever you want , you can bring that about. With a positive attitude you open the door to opportunity & with motivation you make the most of that opportunity.
To get success, you should use your time wisely. There is a saying that yesterday is a cancelled check, tomorrow is a promisory note, only today is cash in hand.
After reading all this.............you must be thinking where does self-motivation come from. It starts with a dream. A dream of yourself as you'd like to be........a vision of your best self successful in your personal & professional lives....
And always remember Napoleon Hill's famous law of success which states that what the mind of man can conceive & believe, it can achieve.

Make no little plans: they have no magic to stir men's blood . . . make big plans, aim high in hope and work
You are successful the moment you start moving toward a worthwhile good.
One joy dispels a hundred cares.
What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight --it's the size of the fight in the dog.
We may be personally defeated, but our principles never.
We must either find a way or make one.
True philosophers who are burning with love for truth and learning never see themselves . . . as wise man, brim- full of knowledge . . . For most of them would admit that even the very greatest number of things of which we know is only equal to the very smallest fraction of things of which we are ignorant. Nor are these philosophers so addicted to any kind of tradition or doctrine that they suffer themselves to become their slaves, and thus lose their liberty.
We do not what we ought,
What we ought not, we do,
And lean upon the thought
That Chance will bring us through.

"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, gift, or skill. It will make or break a company...a church...a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it." -Charles Swindoll

Native American Prayer
Oh, Great Spirit
Whose voice I hear in the winds,
And whose breath gives life to all the world,
hear me, I am small and weak,
I need your strength and wisdom.
Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes ever behold
the red and purple sunset.
Make my hands respect the things you have
made and my ears sharp to hear your voice.
Make me wise so that I may understand the things
you have taught my people.
Let me learn the lessons you have
hidden in every leaf and rock.
I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother,
but to fight my greatest enemy - myself.
Make me always ready to come to you
with clean hands and straight eyes.
So when life fades, as the fading sunset,
my Spirit may come to you without shame.

It's not true that life is one damn thing after another - it's one damn thing over and over.
