Motivation, education and action will set you on path of success. Lack of motivation, ignorance and inaction are traits responsible for “Fred Nurks” of this world.

Time is moving on. It will wait for nobody. There is no time like present to start doing something worthwhile.

If you are restless and feel it is time to do something with your life then I recommend some education for you – not necessarily education you get in a classroom, though that, too, is highly recommended. A good alternative is to take a trip to your local bookstore. Seek out a book called “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill (ISBN: 0-87980-163-8). There are many other similar books that you can select from but this is a very good one. The categories to look under are:

Motivation Self Help Personal Development Success

If you ask assistant you will get help you need.

Life and success are yours for taking!

Giving yourself a mental "check up from neck up" will certainly make you aware of dangers of allowing too much negative news to permeate and influence your thoughts. Think about it. We are constantly bombarded with negative messages from moment we arise in morning to minute we fall asleep at night. Still don't believe me? Here's another little test:

Get this morning's newspaper. Open it to first three pages (these are pages that Editor of newspaper considers are most important). Find a red crayon and a blue crayon. Put a red border around all bad news. Then take your blue crayon and do same for any good news stories (if you can find any). Now compare area bounded in red by area bounded in blue. What do you find?

You need to be aware of this constant battle between positive and negative. There is a competition between two for space each occupies in your mind and thought processes.

The more positive thoughts you can put into your brain less you will be influenced by army of doom-sayers.

When you believe in power of positive, a strange thing begins to happen. You start to attract good things into your life like a magnet! Read Dr Helmstetter's excellent book "What to Say When You Talk to Yourself" and give yourself that "check up from neck up."
