Success is an inner game at least as much as an outer game!  To succeed, fill your life with successful people, successful ideas and successful actions.  Remove from your life unworkable, unsupportive and negative people, ideas and actions.  Below are the thoughts and beliefs of some of the most successful people in the world, past and present.  Use them!  Surround yourself with them, fill your life with their energy and beliefs, and then get in action!  When your beliefs and ideas are positive and full of success, the actions you take will be also.  If you believe it and act on it consistently, it will happen.  Print out and post prominently any of these quotations that inspire and motivate you.  Use them as much as you can, and you will see your life and business change!  And feel free to share other quotes that inspire you, so that they can be added to the Inspiration page – just email them to ann@ontrackandonpurpose.com, and share the power!

People first, then money, then things.  Suze Orman

Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness, concerning all acts of initiative and creation. There is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too.  All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred.  A whole stream of events ensues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.  Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.  Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.  Begin it now.   Johann Wolfgang van Goethe

You are always a valuable, worthwhile human being -- not because anybody says so, not because you're successful, not because you make a lot of money -- but because you decide to believe it and for no other reason.    Wayne Dyer

Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.  So throw off the bowlines.  Sail away from the safe harbour.  Catch the trade winds in your sails.  Explore.  Dream.  Discover.   Mark Twain 

Until thought is linked with purpose there is no intelligent accomplishment. They who have no central purpose in their life fall easy prey to worries, fears, troubles, and self pityings, all of which are indications of weakness, which lead, just as surely as deliberately planned sins, to failure, unhappiness, and loss, for weakness cannot persist in a power evolving universe.  James Allen

To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end of life.   Robert Louis Stevenson

Every level of income demands a different you.  Mike Litman 

Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "Holy Sh--t, what a ride!   Mavis Leyrer, age 83
