Grow Beyond What you Have Already Mastered

Motivational Power Quote


Grow Beyond what you Have Already Mastered


“Unless you try to do
something beyond what
you have already mastered
you never grow.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Grow beyond what you have already mastered

Take the steps to grow beyond what you have already mastered.

There is no perfect time to take the first step to grow beyond what you have mastered, but the best time to start is right now.

What I have learned about personal growth is that the key is to take action and to try.

In order to grow you need to be willing to step outside your comfort zone and try new things.

Once you grow beyond what you have already mastered your thoughts and actions will never return to their original state.

Follow your Vision

Motivational Power Quote


Follow your Vision



“The man with a new idea is a crank
until the idea succeeds.”
Mark Twain


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Follow your vision.

There are times that others don’t see your vision as you do and will call you a crank.

While attending Yale University, Fred Smith, founder of FedEX, wrote a term paper on the business model for what would become FedEX, his professor at Yale give him a C for his work.

The professor explained to Smith that his idea was illogical, and no one would invest their money in such a radical business concept or risk their career’s to work for such a company.

Fred Smith followed his vision and surrounded himself with committed people and launched FedEX in April 1973.

Today Fred Smith is seen as an innovator.

Don’t let other people’s opinions stand between you and your vision.

Never Surrender to Doubts and Fears

Motivational Power Quote


Never Surrender to Doubts and Fears


“A man’s doubts and fears
are his worst enemies.”
William Wrigley Jr., an American entrepreneur


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Never surrender to doubts and fears.

Doubts and fears become your worst enemies until you remove them.

There will be times on our success journey that we will experience doubts and fears. Don’t try to avoid them; confront them head on, neutralize the feelings and move pass them.

We create doubts in our mind when we experience a lack of confidence in ourselves. Keep your thoughts positive and focused on your success journey and your goals.

Your doubts will disappear and your confidence will increase once you have a clear direction and vision for your future and can measure your progress and activities.

Turn your doubts into certainty by keeping your thoughts moving in the direction of your success and goals.

There are times when we can develop fear as we move out of our comfort zone or move into unknown territory.

Fear can be best described as, “fantasizing experiences appearing real.”

A technique to eliminate fear is to focus on the situation and solutions and not on your feelings of doubt.

Turn your fear into faith and a belief in yourself.

Move forward and leave the baggage of doubts and fears on the side of the road and don’t look back.

Become Irreplaceable

Motivational Power Quote


Become Irreplaceable



“The top 20% in any profession
are never unemployed.”
Brian Tracy, Author, Speaker


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Become irreplaceable.

When we move into the top of our chosen profession we become a valued resource. When we are in the top 20% of our profession we become irreplaceable.

People at the top of their profession are seen as a person of influence with their opinions being highly valued.

At the top of our profession we create the means to financial freedom and have the ability to earn the income to free our minds of the worry about money and concentrate on our business and having a fulfilling life.

The top 20% of any profession are in demand and never lack employment opportunities.

Your potential is unlimited; the power to become a top achiever resides in harnessing the power of your mind. Believe you can and you will.

Be determined to move into the top 20% of your profession.

When You’re on the Success Escalator Keep Moving

Motivational Power Quote


When You’re on the Success Escalator Keep Moving


“The road of success is like
running up an escalator going down,
you need to keep running,
if you walk, you stand still,
if you stop you are going down.”
Anneloes Zuiderveen


As I see it. . . . . . . .
When you’re on a success escalator keep moving.

The success escalator can move in one of two directions, one taking us away from success and the other in the direction of success.

At times our success journey will appear to give us the allusion of trying to walk up an escalator going down. It will take an extended effort to maintain the pace and continue to move in the right direction. Make the decision to keep moving in the direction of success and apply the effort to reach your goals

If you’re moving in the wrong direction you will not achieve success. You have to make continuous adjustments and make the transition back towards the right direction.

Success will take a consistent effort.

If you slow down you will be left behind, and unless you get back on track and speed up you will not succeed.

If you stand still your goals and success will become out of sight and out of reach, resulting in failure.

It’s our success journey maintain focus and keep running in the direction of your goals and success.

Motivational Power Quote


Influence Others by Example


“Setting an example
is not the main means of influencing others
it’s the only means.”
Albert Einstein, inventor


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Influence others by example.

We have the capacity to influence thousands of people over our lifetime. The question then becomes how will we influence them? Will we be a positive and memorable influence, a negative influence, or no influence at all?

Our influence with others will be judged by the examples we set and the way others see us as a result of those examples.

When we consistently set positive examples for others to see we will be recognized as a person of influence, and that influence builds positive relationships.

People of influence become leaders in their field. The foundation of their influence becomes their relationships which are built on trust. As a leader people will value your opinion and seek you out.

Set a positive example and be seen a person of influence.

Trust Me

Motivational Power Quote


Trust Me



“As I trust others,
others will trust me.”
Lou Ludwig, Sales and Management Consultant, Inspirational Speaker, Trainer, Educator and Author


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Trust me

Trust allows people to reach a mutual level in a relationship and in their communications.

The foundation of trust comes as a result of building and maintaining rapport.

Rapport creates a bond and respect between the parties.

At the beginning of a relationship, trust can be tentative until we form a mutual level of confidence and acceptance.

Trust will lower resistance and will lead to mutual gain.

I will trust you and you will trust me when we establish rapport, build confidence and work towards mutual gain.

The Best Way to Win an Argument

Motivational Power Quote


The Best Way to Win an Argument


“The only way to get
the best of an argument
is to avoid it.”
Dale Carnegie, author


As I see it. . . . . . . .
The best way to win an argument is not to be involved in one.

When you lose an argument, you lose.

When you win an argument, you lose.

In either case, you lose.

If you attempt to convince someone against their will, they will remain unconvinced and you’ll damage your relationship.

When faced with disagreement hear the other person out and seek to see and understand their point of view.

Establish the area’s of the disagreement and seek a common ground for solutions and an agreement.

Form a basis of common trust and cooperation.

Thank the other person for their input and their interest in finding a resolution.

Get the consensus on the areas of agreement and take the steps for resolution on the areas of disagreement.

Be seen as a facilitator, not an opponent.

Stand Like a Rock

Motivational Power Quote

“In matters of style,
swim with the current;
in matters of principle,
stand like a rock.”
Thomas Jefferson, 3rd US President


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Be a person of principle and stand like a rock.

Our principles become our guiding light. Principles are internal and expressed externally through our actions.

One’s principles are a matter of choice.

A person who has a foundation of strong moral principles will be seen as a person with character. Unsound principles is like standing on quicksand, we will not have solid footing and will eventually sink.

Our principles are the way we see our world and will be reflected in the type of decisions we make.

Principles are personal and business codes of conduct; it’s our moral compass and can be measured.

Stand like a rock through the storms of life, and when the storm passes you will be standing as a person of principle.

Releasing Your Brake Will Set You Free

Motivational Power Quote


Releasing Your Brake Will Set You Free


“Low self-esteem is like
driving through life
with your hand-break on.”
Maxwell Maltz, author of Psycho – Cybernetics


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Releasing your brake will set you free.

Self-esteem is a driving force in our life and is the foundation of winning and losing, success and failure, and our level of performance and achievement.

Our thoughts are guided by the inner voice of our self-esteem.

Low self-esteem is our negative inner critic telling us that we can’t do it and unless treated becomes; I won’t try because I can’t.

Releasing our brake begins with believing in ourselves and our abilities. It’s forming the habit of yes I can.

Focus on your successes.

Learn from your mistakes but don’t dwell on them.

Listen to personal development audio programs and read books that will inspire you.

Take personal responsibility for where you are today; set a clear path for where you want to go with how you’ll get there.

Releasing your brake will set you free to be the person that you were meant to be.

Our Moments Pass too Quickly

Motivational Power Quote

“Life is all memory
except for one present moment
that goes by you so quickly
you can hardly catch it going.”
Tennessee Williams, American playwright


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Our moments pass too quickly.

Our greatest memories are created in the flash of a moment.

That moment passes so quickly that we may not recognize the gravity of the impact that has taken place.

What may appear to be inconsequential in that moment may become an important moment for us and our life.

The impact of that moment may not be immediate; it may take time to find meaning in that moment. Other times the impact will be apparent immediately.

Our life is full of memories, grasp your moments as they pass too quickly, because today’s moments are tomorrow’s memories.

“One thing you can’t recycle

Anonymous

It’s wasted time.

Value every minute of your day; put a value on your time. Maximize the use of your time. Make your day and your time productive.

You can’t recycle wasted time; once it’s wasted it’s gone forever. When our time becomes productive it creates value for us and our time returns to us with dividend.

Determine exactly what it is that you want and make it your mission to achieve it.

Burn the vision in your thoughts and in your mind, of what you want to achieve, with certainty and clarity so you can envision your goals coming true.

Have a crystal clear vision of the achievement; keep it in your mind as if it has already been accomplished. Be determined to be the person in your vision.

Motivational Power Quote


Let Go of Uncompleted Tasks


“Nothing is so fatiguing
as hanging on to
an uncompleted task.”
William James, American psychologist


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Let go of uncompleted tasks.

When we hang onto an uncompleted task it’s like dragging an anchor around with us. It becomes exhausting.

An uncompleted task will not only drain our energy but it will also cloud our thinking. As we continue to think about the things that are left undone we will drain our energy and wastes our time.

Create a written list of your priorities; put your uncompleted tasks in order of importance. Create a plan to complete the task and take action.

Once you have completed the task you will feel as if a weight has lifted off your shoulders and you will see your energy return.

John Wolfgang Von Goethe

It comes down to what we do.

Knowledge alone will not create success.

The application of knowledge develops the insight of what is required to succeed.

Wishing for success without action is a dream.

It is not until we take action and do what’s required to succeed that our wishing will become our success journey that moves us forward in the direction of our desired outcomes.

Be a person of action and just do it.

How are people like sticks of dynamite?

The power of dynamite is inside the stick and to unleash the power you have to light the fuse and let nature take its course.

To unleash our person power we have to light our fuse.

We all have the power of dynamite within us; we have to take the steps to light our fuse to unleash our personal power.

Effectively Problem Solving

Motivational Power Quote


Effectively Problem Solving


“Before it can be solved a problem
must be clearly stated and defined.”
William Feather


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Effective problem solving

There are four steps that need to be taken in order to effectively solve a problem.

Let’s look at the steps doctors have been successfully doing for centuries with their patients. They examine, diagnose, prescribe and treat.

The first two steps are to examine and diagnose the problem. As a result of the examination, we are able to clearly state and define the problem.

Once we have clearly stated and defined the problem the next step is to determine what will be prescribed in order to treat and solve the problem.

We develop a plan of action, to treat the problem, based on a clearly defined solution.

As we are working through the problem we are able to measure the results of the treatment and can adjust our strategy based on these results.

Examine your progress until your problem has successfully been treated and resolved.

Attitude Makes the Difference in Problem Solving


“Your problem is not your problem.
Your attitude - how you handle
your problem - is your problem.”
John Maxwell, author


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Our attitude forms the basis for solving our problems.

Essentially our problems are not the problem. The real problem surfaces in how we address our problems; will we take a positive or negative approach to solve the problem?

Will we take the personal responsibility to correct the problem?

Our attitude will determine how we address the problems we encounter and our approach to its resolution.

Our attitude will also determine the level of our persistence in resolving the problem and seeing the problem through to a successful conclusion.

The bottom line is that our attitude will make the difference in our problem solving.

Be Green and Grow

Motivational Power Quote


When We’re Green We’re Growing


“Life is growth.
If we stop growing,
technically and spiritually
we are as good as dead.”
Monihei Ueshiba


As I see it. . . . . . . .
When we are green we are growing.

Like the mighty oak tree that starts’s its life cycle as a small acorn. The tree takes root and though out its life continues grows.

A mature oak tree can grow to reach 100 feet or more in height.

Our live in many respects is like an oak tree.

Once we take root there is a need to continue to grow and mature through out our life. Our growth involves our personal, our profession and our spiritual growth.

As we grow we become a stronger person and we put down very deep roots, the strength of our roots supports our growth and provides the fuel for our success journey.

The person that elects not to grow has make a choice; and much like an oak tree with no roots, they will wittier and die.

Make the choice to be green and continue to grow.

When Faced with a Choice – Make it

Motivational Power Quote


When Faced with a Choice – Make it

“When you have to make a choice
and you don’t make it,
that is in itself a choice.”
William James, psychologist



As I see it. . . . . . . .
When faced with a choice – make it.

Success is created by our choices; when we have a choice to make, make it.

The choice of no action is the choice of procrastination and accepting what is happens to us which can lead to frustration.

Not making a choice is also a choice of deferring our decisions to others to make the choice for us without any input on our part.

Once we decide not to make a choice we have lost control over our choices and our decision making.

When you look at successful people they have a common trait; they make tough choices and they will establish where they are expecting their choices to take them.

Successful people will also risk making an occasional mistake, but they will take action and make a choice. They believe that their choices are correct and they will move forward with conviction to carry out their choices.

The Road to Nowhere

Motivational Power Quote


The Road to Nowhere


“If you don’t know where you are going,
every road will get nowhere.”
Henry Kissinger, 56th Secretary of State and 1973 Nobel Peace Prize


As I see it. . . . . . . .
The road to nowhere

We will reach a fork in the road; a decision will have to be made, which road will we take?

If we don’t know where we are going we won’t know what road will take us to our destination.

Where we have no direction it becomes impossible to set our GPS, because we don’t know where we are going. We can’t use a map because we have no idea what our destination is.

Without a clear direction, we will wander without a purpose, with no end in sight. We would truly become lost because we don’t know what road to take.

When we know where we are going and we reach a fork in the road, we know with certainty which road to take and we can take it with confidence.

What Makes Achievers Excel?

Motivational Power Quote


What Makes Achievers Excel?


“Nothing is a waste of time
if you use the experience wisely.”
Augusta Rodin


As I see it. . . . . . . .
What makes achievers excel?

A common trait among achievers is they learn from their experiences and then use that knowledge wisely.

They refuse to let their experiences take them off track. They use their experiences to plan for the future and move forward with a purpose.

Achievers form the habit of making good decisions based on their knowledge gained from their activities and past experiences. Achievers have confidence in themselves and their decision making capacity, and will make decisions with confidence.

Achievers take positive action to move them in the direction of their goals.

Achievers excel because they discard rejection and continually move forward without fear, regardless of the circumstance’s that are presented to them.

Achievers embrace change as positive opportunities.

Every experience offers a message and an opportunity to learn if we use the experience wisely.

We Control What Goes on Inside Us

Motivational Power Quote


We Control What Goes on Inside Us


“I cannot always control what goes on outside.
But I can always control what goes on inside.”
Wayne Dyer


As I see it. . . . . . . .
We control what goes on inside us.

At times what’s goes on around us will be outside of our control.

Our first step is to determine what’s under our control and what we are unable to control.

There will be times that we can’t control our surroundings or what’s going on outside of us. We can control what we do in those situations and that control comes from within us.

What we have control over is what goes on inside us.

We can control our choices, our attitude, our thoughts and what actions we take.

We have the choice to have a healthy positive attitude and positive thinking or we have the choice to be negative.

When we have both a positive attitude and our thinking is positive we make far better decisions and we take proactive steps and actions.

Make the decision to control those things that are within us and to do our best with the things that are outside of our control.
