Desire To Stand Out From The Crowd

"Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from the Creator. Another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday. Be a self-starter. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don’t waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail."
—Og Mandino (1923-1996), American motivational author

Desire Leads to Success
*******************
"When he was still a boy, Og Mandino’s mother dropped dead in
their kitchen right in front of him. Og passed on college to join the
Army and became a bombardier pilot. After the war, he married and
had a daughter. He had trouble paying the bills with a young family,
sold insurance, and became an alcoholic. He destroyed his marriage,
traveled the country, and couldn’t hold down a job.
With his last thirty dollars in hand, he contemplated buying a
handgun in a Cleveland pawnshop he had passed and taking his own
life. Instead, he walked on and wound up in a local library. He sat
down and began reading self-help books and decided at that moment
to change his life.

He went to work as a salesman for W. Clement Stone, the author
of one of the self-help books he had read. He quickly rose through the
ranks and began writing for the company. Og’s mother had always told
him that he would be a great writer; this remained in his mind for many
years. Years later, Og began working as the editor for W. Clement Stone’s
new self-help magazine, Success Unlimited. The rest is known history. Og
penned a small book, The Greatest Salesman in the World, which went on
to sell many millions of copies in many languages.

Og became the most-read self-help author in the world. He penned
twenty-two books and has sold nearly forty million copies. His books
are easy to read and will motivate one to improve his life. I have read all
of his books. Unfortunately, Og passed away in the 1990s.

Og proves to us that success brews within each of us, that we can
turn on that intense-desire button when we are prepared to get serious
and stick with it. Og was convinced that he could be a great writer
one day because his mother realized that her son had a special talent
and made sure that thought was etched into Og’s mind. Later in life,
knowing he had a talent, Og came up with a very unique type of book
to communicate his self-help messages to the reader. When he was ready
to press his own intense-desire button, there was no stopping him"

My Success Affirmations

Today I am born anew. Today is the most important day of my life
because it represents the glorious and first day of my new life.
I now understand that I alone control my destiny, my success or my
failure in this wondrous world of opportunity. Am I now capable, too,
of greatness and fortune like those highly successful individuals I have
learned about? For now I truly understand that I can accomplish anything
I carefully program into my mind. Does not the immigrant cherish fully the
American opportunity, knowing they must succeed and that failure is not
an option in their newfound world? I will adopt a similar burning desire,
and I will excel.
 
I am born anew. For now I realize that I am the greatest miracle in the
world, unique to anyone ever born. No longer will I count the obstacles and
drawbacks in my life. I now realize that, like the inventor who welcomes
each new failure on the road to victory, so, too, shall I. For now I understand that each failure only brings me closer to the success I know will be mine.
 
Never again will I allow self-pity, doubt, or negativity to penetrate my
new power-mind, protected by a new negativity-shield, for now I realize
that 80 percent of all talk and actions around me will be negative. I now
realize that negativity has been around since the caveman, and yet successful people always prevailed. I, too, shall prevail. I, too, will stand out from the crowd. I am a king and the world is my new kingdom, for now I realize that the knowledge I possess is worth more than all the riches of the world.
 
Today I possess an immense knowledge of how to change my life forever.
It is a true celebration indeed because now I realize that the best is yet to be.
 Just like the wind that graces the earth, never will I look back. Never will
 I revisit yesterday’s problems and heartaches. They are dead. I will always
look forward with a newfound, childlike excitement and energy.
 
Never again will I allow my life to be likened to a casino game of chance
because I now understand that I alone take full responsibility for my results
along the long road to success, and I vow to apply the principles I have
learned along the way. It is a joy to travel the long road to success. I will savor every step, enjoying the rough as well as the easy road I encounter.
 
Today and everyday forward I will welcome each new day as a blessing
from above, and I vow never again to squander such a precious gift, knowing that the richest king can never buy one more day of life. It is truly a gift from the Creator and shall never again be wasted.
 
Enthusiasm, I have learned, is contagious. And I know that if I project
an enthusiastic, positive attitude to all whom I encounter each day, they, too, will be enthused and will spread it to others. And like all wealth shared with love, it no doubt will inspire me all the more.
 
I realize that I have choices in life:
I can feel happy, or I can feel sad.
I can act positive, or I can act in a negative manner.
I can succeed greatly, or I can settle for failure as an end result.
I can love all others I encounter, or carry around baggage of doom and
gloom and aversion.
I choose to be different, to stand out and set an example that others will
admire and want to emulate.
 
This is my new life. I am like a newborn, pure in heart and mind from
prejudice, hatred, failure, or fear. And like a newborn, full of life and hope,
I now understand that I, too, am unspoiled now in my mind. I now possess
the great knowledge of the ages. For now I know that the mind controls
the body, and the subconscious controls the conscious. As long as I feed the
subconscious mind good, pure, and positive thoughts, the subconscious will
radiate like the rays of the sun, thus renewing, invigorating, and warming
me each day like the powerful rays of the sun. For this little-known secret of
my subconscious is now part of my life, part of my daily routine. And with
each new day that I take a breath of air, I, too, will begin it with positive
self-suggestion statements.
 
My newfound positive-attitude shield will protect me from the arrows
of negativity that kill off the spirit and drive off so many other people. I am
different; I am new. I will apply the newfound knowledge I possess.
No longer will that negativity seep into my mind. I will not allow
negativity to affect the computer-mind God gave me. I was born to be great.
Greatness is my destiny.
 
From this day forward I will never again worry, for now I know that 92
percent of all worry is useless, self-defeating, and draining.
Like the seasons that change, I now understand that my emotions, too,
change, and though I may not feel as happy one day, I know that in a day or
two I could possibly be ecstatic. Like the cycles of the world, emotions change, and now my newfound knowledge is power I will be able to use.
 
With love in my eyes and heart, I will greet everyone I meet with sincere
kindness. For now I understand that love alone will soften the coldest hearts of enemies and friends alike. And if I am to help others along the road to success, I must set an example of pure love and inspiration for all to follow.
 
My new attitude will be my shield that will protect me from the dreaded
arrows of negativity that kill off the spirit and drive off so many others. I am
now different; I am new; I am driven.
 
And as someone who loves himself, I now vow to allow only good things
to enter my mind and body, and to eliminate anything harmful from
affecting me. I will ignore the surrounding negativity and indulgences that
can harm this masterpiece-body that I have been born with. I now know
that I am the greatest work of art in the world, a masterpiece that no money
can ever duplicate.
 
I now vow that each new day will be carefully unwrapped and savored
for the precious gift it represents. And in the end, I will know that I have
made my Creator proud of what I have accomplished, and I will be able to
look back, knowing that I have set a truly inspiring example and have made
a lasting, positive difference in this great world of ours.
