Motivational Power Quote

The Power of Courage
“Most of us have far more courage
than we ever dreamed we possessed.”
Dale Carnegie, author and self – help expert


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

The power of courage

It’s there waiting in all of us to be released, it’s the power of courage.

Courage is opening a door to a room that you’re never been in before and stepping into total darkness and knowing everything is going to be alright.

Life is like stepping into that dark room where we’re asked to step into the total darkness and have the courage to move forward with faith.

We release our courage when we face an uncertainty and dig deep down into our inner strength and find a way to overcome the uncertainty and turn it into a success.

Courage comes in many shapes and sizes and can be released by a smallest of actions that booster our faith.

Have confidence in yourself and release the power of your courage.

To achieve success it’s becomes essential to use all of our tools in our arsenal to accomplish the desired outcome.

Or we can bounce back and push forward.

The winners in life learn how to bounce back. They will look at defeats and setbacks as temporary condition and the price of admission for their success journey. Winners will focus on the solutions and not allow the condition to control their lives. A winner will take control of the condition and make the best of the condition that they find themselves in.

Actions Speak Louder Than Words


Motivational Power Quote


Actions Speak Louder Than Words
“The more you know the less
you need to say.”
Jim Rohn, author  


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

Actions speak louder than words

Your actions speak volumes about who you are as a person.

You can talk about it, but without action your words have little or no value. Words that go unfulfilled, takes the luster off of your reputation and image.

People don’t want to hear what’s your going to do; they want to see you in action and see you doing it.

You will be judged you by your actions and if your words are consistent with those actions.

Today people want doers not talker.

Be seen as a doer a person of action, someone that can be counted on to get the job done.

Let you actions speak for you and be your calling card.

Actions speak louder than words and your actions will light the way of you success journey.
