COMMITMENT/ENTHUSIASM & SUCCESS

      Merely wishing will not change your world.

      Simply hoping will create no change.

      Deep commitment that creates enthusiastic action is required.

"You will become as small as your controlling desire; or as great as your dominant aspiration."
-- James Allen

"The average person puts only 25% of his energy and ability into his work. The world takes off its hat to those who put in more than 50% of their capacity, and stands on its head for those few and far between souls who devote 100%."
-- Andrew Carnegie

"Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything."
-- Napoleon Hill

"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm."
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

"There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living."
-- Nelson Mandela

"To be successful, you must decide exactly what you want to accomplish, then resolve to pay the price to get it."
-- Bunker Hunt

"The key to my success has been to give up everything for my dream."
-- John Johnson

"One essential to success is that your desire be an all-obsessing one, your thoughts and aims be co-ordinated, and your energy be concentrated and applied without letup."
-- Claude M. Bristol

"Only passions, great passions can elevate the soul to great things."
-- Denis Diderot

"Experience shows that success is due less to ability that to zeal. The winner is he who gives himself to his work, body and soul."
-- Charles Buxton

"Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire."
-- Reggie Leach

"Catch on fire with enthusiasm and people will come for miles to watch you burn."
-- John Wesley

"The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire."
-- Marshall Foch

"One man has enthusiasm for 30 minutes, another for 30 days, but it is the man who has it for 30 years who makes a success of his life."
-- Edward B. Butler

"Never doubt that a small group of committed people can chage the world -- indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
-- Margaret Mead

"Failure is not an option when a parent is teaching their child to walk... Let's make a similar commitment to each other: From now on, failure is not an option."
-- Christopher Guerriero

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now."
-- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
