Mary Kay Ash Quotes on Success

For every failure, there’s an alternative course of action. You just have to find it. When you come to a roadblock, take a detour.
Every silver lining has a cloud.
Most people live and die with their music still unplayed. They never dare to try.

If we fail in this aspect of our lives, no matter how vast our worldly possessions or how high we climb, we will have achieved very little.

Mary Kay Ash Quotes on Goals
A good goal is like a strenuous exercise – it makes you stretch.
Give yourself something to work toward – constantly.
When you set a goal, you first use mental imagery in seeing yourself in possession of that goal. Get a picture of what you wish to possess and keep it before you. One day your wish will become a reality!
It is important for you to have a goal. You simply can’t get there if you don’t know where you are going. Begin to build in your mind a dream. Then write it down and make your goal realistic. Aim high enough that you will have to stretch your ability and your potential to reach it.
We must have a theme, a goal, a purpose in our lives. If you don’t know where you’re aiming, you don’t have a goal. My goal is to live my life in such a way that when I die, someone can say, she cared.
An average person with average talents and ambition and average education, can outstrip the most brilliant genius in our society, if that person has clear, focused goals.
Set a goal and do something about it every day. Don’t make “the best that I can” your objective. This gives you an open door for excuses. Tell someone about your goal. Have a plan of action that keeps you on-target every day.
Other Great Mary Kay Ash Quotes

When children know their mothers believe in them, they develop self-confidence. On the other hand, if a parent repeatedly tells a child that he’s shy, he’s stupid, he’s mean or he’s going to grow up to be a bank robber, he’ll probably develop that quality or bring that vision to pass.
Imagine a situation where two women from similar backgrounds apply for the same position. They process comparable skills. However, one has ample self-confidence while the other is a shrinking violet who has trouble looking another person in the eye and difficulty expressing herself. Is there any question which of the two will be hired?
I believe that Christmas is that wondrous time of year when each of us renews our faith that a better world is possible. By trying to live Christmas 12 months a year, we CAN make this world a better place to live – for others and for ourselves.

Sometimes I wonder if my mother was aware of the seeds she was planting in my life as a child and where they would take not only me, but thousands of other women. What she sent into my life I sent into others’. And they in turn have sent what they have into many lives as well.
Hope is wishing for something to come true. Faith is belief that it will come true. Believe that for every problem God gives you, He will also provide you with a solution
Behind every success story in Mary Kay, you will find a simple explanation of great faith. I believe that every person has a capacity for greatness, that God planted the seeds there, and it is up to us to make them blossom forth with patience, guidance and belief. It is up to us to discover the multiple talents that we possess and bring them into fruit.
