Strategies
to Take Control
of Your Life
Raul Dinzey
Overview
� Living with purpose desire and goals
� Visualizing a better tomorrow
� Persisting through your challenges
� Taking action
Life—You Get What you Ask For
I bargained with life for a penny
And life would pay no more
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store.
For life is a just employer
He gives you what you ask
But once you have set the wages
You must bear the task.
I worked for a menial’s hire,
Only to learn dismayed
That any wage I had asked of life,
Life would have willingly paid.
Principles

the mind can achieve
� You can do it if you believe you can

serve the greatest number of people
� Develop a pleasing personality- pleasing to
yourself and others
Positive Mental Attitude
� Is the medium to balance your life and relationships to people and circumstances – to attract what you desire
� We are born with: the right to control the thoughts we dwell on and therefore our mental attitude
� Is one of life’s riches- through this attitude anything worthwhile is achieved
� Keep your mind on the things you want and off the things you don’t want
The Subconscious Mind
� Make your emotions work for you
� Prayer
Flow
� Desire backed by a definite goal with persistent
action
� Auto suggestion visualization and aloud daily
reading of definite plan
� Master mind alliance working in harmony and a
spirit of cooperation
Definite Purpose
� Is the starting point of all achievement
�Without direction you are aimless, directionless and powerless

�Decide:
– What do you want
– Find out how to get it
– Then take daily action to achieving your goal
Pleasant Personality
� Is the aggregate of all the agreeable gratifying and
likable qualities of any one individual
� Believe in yourself – First and foremost!
� What you believe yourself to be – you are
� The attitudes you transmit to others will tell more
about you than words or how you look
� Enthusiasm comes from within- you can develop it
by your thoughts feelings and emotions
Faith
� Is a state of mind we can develop by conditioning our mind to receive infinite intelligence to a definite purpose
� The offspring of success or failure come from our thoughts
� When faith added to thought the subconscious mind instantly picks up the vibration, translates it into its spiritual equivalent and transmit it to infinite intelligence
� Faith is the method through which we can harness the cosmic force of infinite intelligence
Going the Extra Mile
� Give more than what you receive, sooner or later you will be repaid with interest
� Every seed of useful service you sow- will multiply and come back to you in overwhelming abundance
� Put your mind to work assess your ability and energy
� Who could use your help? How can you help?
� Ingenuity and strong desire to be of genuine service

Personal Initiative:
Self Drive
� Bears the same relationship as a self-starter to
an automobile
� Is the power that assures completion of what
you start

� Is the dynamo that spurs the faculty of your
imagination into action and inspires you to
finish what you start
Enthusiasm
� Is a state of mind
� is the most contagious of all emotions
� Is a combination of mental and physical energy
� Thrives best where sound physical health
abounds
� Sound health begins with the development and
maintenance of health consciousness
� To be enthusiastic – act enthusiastically!
Self- Discipline
� Is to take possession of our own mind
� The power or thought is the one thing we can control
�By directing your dominant thoughts we ordain our destiny
� Take charge of your life - you are what you think
�Direct your thoughts – control your emotions - and ordain your destiny!
Accurate Thinking
� Involves two fundamentals
– Think clearly by separating the facts into two classes:
The important and the unimportant
� Accurate thinkers permit no one to do their thinking for them
� Gather information and listen to the opinions of others, but reserve for yourself the privilege of making decisions
� Truth will be truth regardless of a closed mind, ignorance or the refusal to believe
Focused Attention
� Is the act of coordinating all the faculties of the mind and directing their combined power to a given end
� Learn to fix your attention on a given subject, at will for whatever length of time you choose

Mastermind Alliance Principle
� Consists of two or more minds working in
perfect harmony for the attainment of a
common definite objective
� Seek to work together in a state of coordinated
harmony
� No person can become a permanent success
without taking others along with him
Teamwork
� Is the willing cooperation and coordination of effort to achieve a common goal.
� Is sharing part of what you have- the good part with others
� Differs from the Mastermind because it is based on coordination of effort without embracing the principle of definiteness of purpose or the principle of harmony
� Harmonious cooperation is a priceless asset which you can acquire in proportion to your giving
Difficulties and Challenges
� Every adversity you meet carries with it a seed of equivalent or greater benefit
� Close the door of your mind to all previous failures and circumstances
� Operate in a positive mental attitude
� Every problem has a solution – you have to find it
� Problems are only temporary set backs and stepping stones to success
Creative Vision
� Is a quality of mind belonging only to people who follow the habit of going the extra mile
� Is closely related to the state of mind known as faith and is significant- those who have demonstrated the greatest amount of creative vision are people with a capacity for faith

brings into existence
