Tom Hopkins asks in his book ... "‘The Offical Guide to Success" ... that his readers print these statements onto business-card size paper for daily-affirmation.

Tom suggests that if you say something often enough, it will be integrated into your personality and lifestyle. I can testify it does work, and is an effective method.

Read through them, thinking about how your life would change if you had these habits, traits and organisational skills.

I move pace up when I can, but I never go so fast that I break my body muscles.

I always eat and drink sensibly.

I find new ideas to bring to the problem, different directions to work from, and other people to work through and give fresh inspiration to attack it with.

I am driving hard for achievement and accomplishment, not just for money.

I avoid negative people. I do not listen to negative input from the media.

I know that laughter ranks next to sleep and food as a restorative, so I am always on the lookout for an opportunity to laugh a little.

I never let a negative thought enter my head. I always have clearly defined goals.

I work hard, so I have earned the right to laugh at the world and myself. My activities are very important to me. So important that I would not think of injuring my ability to move them forward by shutting off the healing power of humour.

When I make commitments to others and myself - I keep them.

Work smart - and as hard as you can without sacrificing alertness.

Success is the continuous journey towards the achievement of predetermined worthwhile goals.

I am an effective, hard-driving, and highly successful person who responds well to positive self-instruction.

I respect my future and myself too much to waste energy proving things that do not matter. I’m a smart, resourceful, and tough - and I win.

I am proud of my willingness to do what I must be done, to step out of the comfort zone, I am proud to be someone who wants to change, break, shake, and do.

I always take a moment to sniff the roses, to glory in a sunset, and to see the funny side of life.

No one can teach you that which they have not done themselves.

Today I will meet the right people in the right place at the right time for the betterment of all.

I take full responsibility for my actions, and for my life. My well being is in the best hands it could possibly be in: my own.

I am a winner, a contributor, an achiever, an artist and an author: I believe in me.

I always do the thing I least want to do first, so it does not hang over me and spoil my whole day.

I love action. I love doing things. I love achieving. I do all three constantly, joyfully, and successfully.

Things I cannot control never pull my attitude down because I am always thinking about the great things I am doing today and tomorrow.

When someone tries to dump negative thinking on me, I refuse to accept it. I never carelessly spend my time with negative people.

I must do the most productive thing possible at every given moment. I use all my resources correctly.

I emphasize the positive in everything I do. I look at the good that can come out of every situation; I talk about the best qualities of every person I meet; I concentrate on the good aspects of every place or thing.

I psyche my mind up for the important activities: I warm my body up for the challenges; I steer clear of overdosing and under-exercising.

I am not afraid to fail. Because that is how I learn. When I fail, I look at what I did right, not at what I did wrong.

I know where I am going because I have taken the time and trouble to make that decision.

I never get so busy with today’s business that I forget about tomorrow. I am a planner, and look ahead.

I handle losses and defeats without losing confidence because I know I am a winner. I am strong enough to accept higher risks because I aiming much higher.

I look on every problem as an opportunity to use my talent and initiative. I move very fast when fast action is called for. But I am also capable of calmly doing nothing when that is my best move.

I am an idea person. I know exactly what I want, so I keep my subconscious mind loaded with material that allows it to generate them.

I always sleep efficiently and soundly, getting the sleep I need in only six hours. Then I wake up feeling great, jump out of bed, and start making good things happen by using every minute of the day productively.

I have complete faith in myself that I will achieve all my goals. Because they are so exciting they are never out of my mind for long!

Success is worth far more than its price. I am a driver in this world, not a passenger. I am a shaker and doer.

I feel good about myself because I always do the best thing possible with my opportunity time.

Nobody makes me feel guilty about being successful. If any one cannot handle my success, that is tough. I will find new friends who can.

In both thought and speech, I choose positive words to describe everything I am in favour of - to build my resistance to pessimism.

I use time planning to enhance the quality of my personal life. I am always on the lookout for better ways to invest my time.

I do not squander my time - I invest it carefully and intelligently.

I prize my exercise time because it lets me relax and get rid of the day’s tension.

I say positive because success is positive, and that’s the side I want to be on!
