• It’s time to stop tiptoeing around the pool and jump into the deep end, head first. It’s time to think big, want more, and achieve it all!
• Don’t wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles, and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident, and more and more successful.
• You control your future, your destiny. What you think about comes about. By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands—your own.
• Great people are great because they solve countless, seemingly insolvable problems—you can too if you choose to.
• To realize a dream, you must have a dream to realize.
• Lack of forgiveness causes almost all of our self-sabotaging behavior.
• It matters only that you manifest your genius; it doesn’t matter when. It’s never too late or too early.
• Each of us must do massive right thinking, take massive right action, and get massive right results, right here, right now.
• Predetermine the objectives you want to accomplish. Think big, act big, and set out to accomplish big results.
• End your day by privately looking directly into your eyes in the mirror and saying, “I love you!” Do this for thirty days and watch how you transform.
• Now is the only time there is. Make your now wow, your minutes miracles, and your days pay. Your life will have been magnificently lived and invested, and when you die you will have made a difference.
• The majority of people meet with failure because they lack the persistence to create new plans to take the place of failed plans.
• You don’t become enormously successful without encountering some really interesting problems.
Mark Victor Hansen is best known as co-author of the Chicken Soup of the Soul series. Ten years ago, I read the original Chicken Soup book, Chicken Soup for the Soul: 101 Stories to Open the Heart and Rekindle the Spirit, and I would highly recommend it as the place to begin. It is one of my inspirations for the title of this book.
When my wife got pregnant, she read Chicken Soup for the Expectant Mother’s Soul, and I read Chicken Soup for the Father’s Soul. The list of Chicken Soup books fits an endless variety of occupations, characteristics, and interests. The series is truly a phenomenon.
For those looking to increase their wealth, I would recommend one of Mark’s newer projects, a book called The One Minute Millionaire, which he co-wrote with Robert Allen. In this work, the authors combine forces to produce a step-by-step guide for becoming a millionaire in a short period of time.
The unique format of the book actually provides two books for the price of one. On the right-hand pages, you can read the fictional story of Michelle, a waitress and mother of two, and her struggle to come up with $1 million to get her children back from her in-laws. On the left-hand pages are short, inspirational stories and lessons for becoming an “enlightened millionaire.”
I would also highly recommend subscribing to Mark Victor Hansen’s e-zine, Rich Results. It is a fabulous newsletter packed with information designed specifically for people who want to create a better life for themselves. And the best part…it’s free!
