Get It Done Whether You Like It or Not

 Motivational Power Quote



Get It Done Whether You Like It or Not


“Learn to do what ought
to be done,
when it should done,
whether you like it or not.”
Roy W. Haley, entrepreneur



As I see it. . . . . . . .


Get it done whether you like it or not.


There will be times that we’re faced with getting things done.


The question becomes what should be done and when should we do it.


It’s not a matter of whether if we like what we have to do it or not.


Learn to evaluate the importance of what has to be done before any thing else is done.


The question to ask yourself is what impact doing the task or not doing the task will have on you and your business.


After carful evaluate if your information tells you to move forward. Then move forward with a written plan to accomplish the task.


Form a time line to start and a time line to complete the task


The importance of getting things done should never be influenced by whether we like what has to be done. Judge what has to be done on its importance’s.

Joy is found not in finishing an activity
but on doing it.”
Greg Anderson




As I see it. . . . . . . .
Focus on the journey.

There are times on our journey that we will need stay focused to continue. If we are not enjoying the journey we will have a tenacity to quit.


Enjoy your journey; focus your efforts on the activity to keep you on track to reach your desired outcome. Your activities become your stepping stones to achieve success.


The true meaning of success is in enjoying the experience of the journey and your activities along the way.

Don’t Put Things Off

   Motivational Power Quote



Don’t Put Things Off

“If you put off everything till
you’re sure of it,
you’ll get nothing done.”
Norman Vincent Peale, author


As I see it. . . . . . . .


Don’t put things off.

If you’re waiting until you sure of everything you wouldn’t get anything done.

If you wait until you’re sure of everything before you start, you’ll make a decision of no action.

Circumstances seldom ever exist were everything is aligned to take action. You have to move forward with the best information that you have.

Moving forward has a calculated risk attached to it, good judgment is required to go forward and minimize the risk.

Not action creates the risk of getting nothing done or falling behind.

Don’t put things off, do the best you can with what you have.

Do You Want to Forget Your Troubles?

“If you want to forget

Wearing tight shoes will make you not only forget about your troubles but just about everything else that could be on your mind.


In fact wearing tight shoes creates pain.

 
We have a choice about wearing tight shoes. We can make a decision to continue to wear tight shoes or we can elect not to wear them and discard them. Troubles are the same, we can continue to carry them around and allow them weight us down. Or we can make the decision to eliminate them and move on.


Troubles create pain let them go.

“Do or do not. There is no try.”

Do it or don’t.



The choice becomes to do it or not to do it.



Both are absolute either we do or don’t, and they are both an action. One becomes a positive action the other a negative response of no action.


Try is to think about it, it becomes a maybe. If the response of trying is taken, the response is taken without a conviction or commitment

 
The likely outcome will be weak at best.


Make the decision either to do it or not to do it, trying should not be an option.

Fear is false information appearing real.


Half of our fear is either baseless or false.

Fear can be based on incomplete information or misunderstanding the information we have.


Fear can come from intentionally being threatened or pressured for the others person gain, a good example would be in negotiations.


When you sense fear; mentally step back from the situation for a moment and analyze the feeling determine what causing the feeling and if it creditable or is it baseless.


If it’s baseless the fear will pass in a moment, if it’s real determine the best methods to handle it.

Trust and Believe in People


“You must trust and believe in people
or life becomes impossible.”
Anton Cheklov


As I see it. . . . . . . .

Trust has to be established to successfully form business and personal relationships Trust is the foundation of conduct business.

Believing in others may take a leap of faith on our part. People will sense if we have trust and believe in them which becomes critical for our success.

When we believe in people they will believe in us, barrier will fall and cooperation will follow.

If we don’t trust and believe in other people, our life will become impossible as we will lack the support of other people in our quest for success.

The Period of Our Greatest Gain

Motivational Power Quote


The Period of Our Greatest Gain


“The period of greatest gain
in knowledge and experience is
the most difficult period in ones life.”
Daiai Lama


As I see it. . . . . . . .
The period of our greatest gain . . . .

Comes from the most challenging and difficult period’s of our life’s. In times of difficulties we gain insight on how to overcome our challenges and that knowledge becomes invaluable.

As we gain knowledge we seek new ways to use it. As we use our new knowledge it creates change and a point of stepping away from the security of our comfort zone.

We trade short term difficulties for change; the change for long term gains from application of our new knowledge.

Adjusting as a result of our past experiences creates an unparalleled opportunity. Our biggest difficulty is to accept the fact that things did not turn out as planned and making the adjustments that are required to move forward successfully.

Short term difficulties are a small price to pay for long term gains and success.
