The Seed to Success is in Your Imagination

There's so much wisdom in what I'm posting here that I felt strongly it needs to  be shared with you! This was written by Max Steingart in 2002. I don't know him, but he is a business coach who works with people doing multilevel marketing. Although this is worded for a business setting, what it says applies to anything we're trying to accomplish in our lives.

"Visualize all the things that you want in life.
Then make your mental blue print, and begin to build.
Your imagination can show you how to turn your possibilities into reality.
You must make every thought, every fact, that comes into your mind pay you a profit.
Make those mental images work and produce for you.
Think of things not as they are, but as you want them to be.
Don't just dream, be creative.
The will to succeed springs from the knowledge that you can succeed.
You make your own opportunities
Your destiny isn't a matter of chance,
It's a matter of the choices you'll make in the coming year.
Success isn't something you wait for,
   it's something you must pursue in the months ahead.
Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities to be successful.
Seize common occasions and turn them into great ones.
Opportunities sometimes come disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat.
Start where you are.
You're at this moment standing right in the middle of opportunity.
If you act on your dreams
You can live them in the New Year.
You have a lot to look forward to.

Success requires a willingness to act.
If you want to be successful, you can start at anytime.
But you must start.
Don't make the mistake of not doing anything because you can only do a little.
Do what you can do.
It will always be your attitude at the beginning of any difficult task which, more than anything else,
   will affect its successful outcome.
To be aware of what you want and not go after it,
   to spend years wondering if something could have materialized
   and never knowing if it could have been is a tragic waste of your life.
The worst thing you can do is not to try.
To reach a port you must set sail.
You must sail, not lie at anchor.
You must sail off in the direction of your dreams, not drift.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step."
