No Surrender
by BJ Gallagher

When you believe in yourself, in your personal potential, in your own future,

you have no choice – surrender is not an option. There’s nothing to do but continue.

Sometimes you want to give up, but you can’t – something deep inside you won’t let you.

No white flags, no bailing out, no throwing in the towel for you.

You have to keep going; you must carry on; you just take the next step…and the next…and the next…

The Strangest Secret
by Earl Nightingale

Watch the DVD or read the story below…or both

George Bernard Shaw said, “People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can’t find them, they make them.”

Well, it’s pretty apparent, isn’t it? And every person who discovered this believed (for a while) that he was the first one to work it out. We become what we think about.

Conversely, the person who has no goal, who doesn’t know where he’s going, and whose thoughts must therefore be thoughts of confusion, anxiety and worry – his life becomes one of frustration, fear, anxiety and worry. And if he thinks about nothing… he becomes nothing.

How does it work? Why do we become what we think about? Well, I’ll tell you how it works, as far as we know. To do this, I want to tell you about a situation that parallels the human mind.

Suppose a farmer has some land, and it’s good, fertile land. The land gives the farmer a choice; he may plant in that land whatever he chooses. The land doesn’t care. It’s up to the farmer to make the decision.

We’re comparing the human mind with the land because the mind, like the land, doesn’t care what you plant in it. It will return what you plant, but it doesn’t care what you plant.

Now, let’s say that the farmer has two seeds in his hand- one is a seed of corn, the other is nightshade, a deadly poison. He digs two little holes in the earth and he plants both seeds-one corn, the other nightshade. He covers up the holes, waters and takes care of the land…and what will happen? Invariably, the land will return what was planted.

Network marketing is not easy. Nobody said it ways. It’s a very tough industry but also very rewarding. You will be rewarded handsomely for your efforts and your income will be in direct proportion to the work you do. 19 out of 20 people who start a home-based business quit. So if you are the ONE out of the nineteen who doesn’t, congratulations, consider yourself a leader.

We all feel like quitting some time. Leaders are those who never do. Leaders keep going when the going gets tough and they encourage those who follow them.

I would like to share this little poem with you. Save it on your desktop and the next time you feel like quitting…READ IT!

**DON’T QUIT**

When things go wrong as they sometimes will;
when the road you’re trudging seems up hill;
when the funds are low and debts are high;
and you want to smile, but have to sigh;
when care is pressing you down a bit,
rest if you must, but don’t quit.

Success is failure turned inside out;
the silver lining of the clouds of doubt;
and you never can tell how close you are;
it may be near when it seems far.

So, stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit.
It’s when things go wrong that you mustn’t quit.
