1. I can do anything.

Its a simple phrase, but it helps to remind yourself -- you really can do
anything you set your mind to.

2. This is why I can. Instead of giving yourself reasons why you cant do something, give
yourself reasons why you can.

3. I deserve more. You deserve a better life -- whether that means a better job, a healthier body or
more money. Work for it.

4. Its never too late. No matter how old you are or how many opportunities youve passed up
before, its never too late to make a decision and get a fresh start.

5. There will always be challenges. No matter what you do in life, there will always be
challenges -- dont let one set get the better of you.

6. Theres no "perfect" time. If youre waiting for the perfect moment, forget about it -- theres
no such thing.

7. Theres no perfect plan. There are some definite flaws in your plan -- but there are in every
plan.

8. Everybody starts somewhere. Nobody is born successful. Everyone starts somewhere, and
usually from the bottom.

9. One step at a time. Dont try to do everything at once. Reduce it to baby steps.

10. It can only get better. If its hard at first, it can only get easier.
11. Failure is temporary. If you fail, youre in good company -- most successes come only after
several rounds of failure.

12. Mistakes are learning opportunities. If you mess up, you can only become better for it.

13. Today is all I can control. Forget about what you did yesterday. Today is what matters.

14. If it were easy, everyone would do it. Nothing worth doing is easy.

15. Someday is today. If youre like most people, you use the word someday to describe
your goals and desires. Make today that someday.

16. Negative thoughts cant stop me. Your negative thoughts are just thoughts -- nothing more.

17. Ive done harder things. Think back to a time when you succeeded against the odds.

18. Everything has to be earned. You cant get anything in this life unless you work hard for it.

19. Action is a better regret than inaction. Making the wrong decision is always preferable to
regretting never having done anything at all.

20. I dont need anyones permission. If people think youre crazy, so be it.

21. Im in control of my own destiny. You can decide whom you want to become.

22. There is no pass or fail. Nobody is grading you. You cant objectively fail at life unless
you never try anything.
23. Boring decisions get boring results. Make an exciting decision.

24. The risk is worth it. Know that risks are real, but the potential benefits are worth them.

25. Discipline feels better than regret. Discipline is hard, but its easier to deal with than regret.

26. Many good ideas seem crazy or impossible at first. Yours is no different.

27. Ive got support. Friends, family, colleagues -- even if they think youre crazy, you can
always find support in networking groups, support groups and other community resources.

28. Experience is always valuable. Even if your mission doesnt turn out the way you'd expected,
youll walk away with experience.

29. Hard work is its own reward. Youll feel good just for making the attempt.

30. Every day counts. Today, tomorrow and the next day are all steps toward your end goal.

31. What I see matters more than what others see. Forget about what others think -- prioritize
what you think.

32. There is no problem that cant be overcome. Everything can be solved or worked around.

33. Ordinary actions make an ordinary life. Nobody wants to be ordinary. Dont let yourself be.
34. Everything can be improved. Even if you start out rough, you can always make
improvements to your approach.

35. I can learn whatever I need to know. Free resources are plentiful.

36. I can master whatever I need to do. Practice can make you good at anything.

37. Willpower is all in my head. You can have all the willpower you want -- you just have to
want it.

38. I know what I want. Know what your end goals are, and visualize them.

39. Feelings are the product of thoughts. If youre scared or unsure, know that these are feelings
generated by your thoughts; then you can control them.

40. Trying and failing is better than doing nothing. This is universally true.

41. I am whomever I want to be. Theres nothing stopping you from being whom you want to be.

42. I cant win unless I try. Effort is the only way to get results.

43. My life is a product of my decisions. Make the ones that matter.

44. Im better than I was yesterday. Youre older, wiser and more experienced than youve ever
been before.

45. Nothing great happens overnight. Work and patience are your friends.
46. Once I get started, it will be easier. Youll feel more motivated once you get rolling.

47. Ill reward myself when Im done. Even small rewards can be great motivators.

48. Im doing this for more than just me. Maybe its for your family or community -- whatever
"it" is, external motivation can be powerful.

49. There are always more chances. If you screw up, you can always try again.

50. If nothing else, this will make for a good story. Youll walk away with great memories and
interesting anecdotes.
