Below from the book, All You Have Is Now, by John Patrick Hickey.

It all starts with the simple, yet very difficult step of setting a goal or knowing what you want. Simple, because you are defining one purpose for your life; difficult, because you have to decide what that purpose is.
Napoleon Hill, author of the classic Think and Grow Rich said in the book he co-wrote with W. Clement Stone, Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude, “The starting point of all achievement is definiteness of purpose with a positive mental attitude. Remember this statement and ask yourself, what is my goal? What do I really want?”

Each person has the potential to be good and productive, yet I also know that many people never begin to tap their true potential. It is human nature to surrender to the lowest common denominator. We must purposely strive to move ahead and achieve, like a fish that fights to go upstream rather than float downstream with the rest. Being the hopeful person that I am, I believe that many will strive to be the best they can be. The world is filled with good and caring people who are positive about life and believe they can do great things. I call them Success-Minded People.
