Be Recognized By Your Attitude


Motivational Power Quote

Be Recognized By Your Attitude
Eagles comes in all shapes and sizes, but you will recognize
them chiefly by their attitude.”
Charles Prestwich Scott, British Journalist  


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

Be recognized by your attitude

When a person walks into a room they will immediately be recognized by their attitude. A person with a positive attitude will become a magnet in attracting people to them.

People want to be associated with people that are positive. A person’s attitude will rub off on the people they meet and they will feel good about being in the company of a positive person.

A person with a positive attitude brightens the room that they walk into; they will also brighten a person’s life that they meet.

Be the person that will brighten a person’s life with your attitude and you will be recognized by your attitude.

You Will Attract What You Expect to Attract


Motivational Power Quote

You Will Attract What You Expect to Attract
“The universe will fill your cup - - if you carry a big cup,
a little cup, or a thimble.”
Sonia Choquette, author



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

You will attract what you expect to attract.

You will attract what you expect to attract. . . . and what you’re prepared for . . . .

What you attract is in direct proportion to your expectation. If you believe that you are an opportunity magnet you will find your opportunity cup filling until it’s running over with opportunities.

You are a living magnet or a shield. Has a magnet you attract, as a shield you defect, either way it’s in direct proportion to your expectations and what you’re prepared for.

Being the biggest bucket you can find into you life and you will fill it with the positive opportunities that you attract into your life.    

You will attract what you expect to attract . . . . And what you’re prepared for. Open your mind to the possibilities and prepare yourself to make the most of them.

A Constant State of Renewal


Motivational Power Quote

 A Constant State of Renewal
We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves;
otherwise we harden.”
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, author



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

A Constant state of renewal

Nothing remains the same in your life you are in a constant state of renewal and change. If you have the inner desire to grow as a person you have to commit yourself to a life of constant renewal.

When you are in the state of status quo you are in a state of decline. Without renewal your mind and your thinking becomes out of date and you will find that you’re in a state of a competiveness disadvantage.

To retain your competitive edge you have commit yourself to remain on the competitive edge of renewal. 

You have to continually renew your energy to remain at the top of our profession. When you renew your thinking to stay abreast of the changes in your profession and you create a business advantage. You have to continually renew your skills to stay competitive.

The moment that we decide not to renew yourself you will find that you have hardened your thinking to the past. A that moment you will find yourself no longer competitive and you will find that your success is slipping away.

Stay competitive . . . . Remain in a constant state of renewal and on the cutting edge of your profession.

Motivational Power Quote

A Diamond Starts in the Rough and Polished into Brilliance
“Before a diamond shows its brilliancy and prismatic colors
it has to stand a good deal of cutting and smoothing.”
Source unknown  


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

A diamond starts in the rough and polished into brilliance

We are a lot like a diamond in the rough . . . . We have to polish ourselves to bring the brilliance to the surface.

You have within you a special talent to succeed that’s waiting to emerge itself into the light of the day.

Your life is like a diamond in the rough, when you first see the diamond it doesn’t look like much and you won’t see the value.

It’s not until you start to work on the diamond does the value begin to come to the surface. You have to apply an effort to create value in the diamond. To bring value to the diamond requires shaping it, smoothing and polishing it into a brilliant and valuable gem.

Without effort the diamond has very little or no real value. To create a successful career takes effort for you to reach our full potential.

Your talent needs to be developed and polished into a high level of brilliance to show its true colors and value. You have to sharpen your skills to compete in a highly completive business environment and succeed.

When you take the steps to shape your career you release your true talent. Enhancing and polishing your talents creates a strategic advantage in our chosen profession.  

A diamond starts out in the rough and polished into brilliance, your life and career is the same, you have to polish your life into brilliance. Step out into your day and show the brilliance of your true self.

The Weight of Your Habits


Motivational Power Quote 

The Weight of Your Habits
“Chains of habits are too light to be felt until they are too
heavy to be broken.”
Warren Buffett, entrepreneur


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

The weight of your habits

Good and productive habits have the weight of a feather and will lift your spirit. You will feel the wind at your back as your good and productive habits push you forward.

Expand your good and productive habits and you will find yourself rising to higher level of success.

The weight of carrying a bad habit feels like your carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. The weight becomes so unbearable it becomes almost impossible to create any forward momentum.

With bad habits you will feel like your standing in quicksand and the weight of the bad habits is pulling you deeper and deeper into the quicksand until you can move and sink.

The best time to break a bad habit is before something becomes a habit and takes root.

Be careful of your routines as they are the start of new habits.

Keep your thinking positive and shut off bad habits before they are formed in your mind.

The minute you feel your developing a bad habit drop it off a bridge and watch it flow away and out of your life.

The weight of your habits will either lift you or sink you.

How You See Your Career


Motivational Power Quote

How You See Your Career
“The vision we have of our jobs determines what we do
and the opportunities we see or don’t see.”
Charles Koch, executive


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

How you see your career

How you see yourself and your career is what you get.

A person who sees their career as one full of opportunities will find unlimited opportunities all around them. If a person who sees their career as a dead end or see it without hope to succeed will find that their career mirrors how they see their career.

You ingrain the vision of your career into your subconscious mind and you will actualize it through your actions.

How you program your minds to think about your career will determine what you see or what you don’t see.

Your vision becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Think in terms of what can be. See your self surrounded with opportunities. See   yourself enjoying your success.

Create a positive vision of your self and your career as your want it to be and as you see your vision it will be there for you to achieve.

Keep the visions of your career burning brightly in your subconscious mind. See that vision in bright vivid colors, one that makes it standout in your thinking and creates top on the mind awareness in your thoughts.

How you see your career is a good indication on the direction that your career will take.

The Law Action and Consequence


Motivational Power Quote

The Law Action and Consequence
“It’s easy to dodge our responsibilities, but we cannot dodge
the consequences of dodging our responsibilities.”
Anonymous


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

The law of action and consequence

For every action that we take there is a consequence.

The person that pursues their dreams with passion and determined action will find that their dreams become a reality.

The person that waits to see what comes along will find that their life is passing them by with very little or no direction.

When you take responsibility for your actions and your results you take control of your life, your results and your success.

The person that believes that they are not responsible for their actions or results loses their objectivity and control of their life.   They will blame other people when their results are less then satisfactory and are destined to live a life of frustration. Other people will control your life and the direction that your life takes. 

All of your actions or inactions have a consequence. Successful people create the habit of choosing the actions that will move them closer to their goals and contribute to their success.

The law and action and consequence . . . . The actions that you sow will return you. Take the actions that will advance your career and your actions will put your goals within your reach.

The Human Spirit of Enthusiasm   
“The worst bankruptcy in the world is the person who
has lost his enthusiasm.”
H. W. Arnold, author writer


As I see it. . . . . . .

The human spirit of enthusiasm

The human spirit of enthusiasm is the force within us that drives us. It’s valued asset and in comes into play to give us strength in our time of need.

It’s the courage to step into the darkness and take the next step on your success journey when it would be easier to sit it out.

It’s where we find our determination to get the things done that we have to do.

The human spirit provides the spark to keep the flame of your will burning and our passion alive.

The worst bankruptcy that a person can experience in their life is the lost of their human spirit and their enthusiasm.

The person without enthusiasm travels in the darkness without the rays of light that’s shown them a way.  

The human spirit of enthusiasm is having the strength of mind to push their challenges with the determination to achieve their goals and objectives.

The Biggest Difference Between Courage and Bullying


Motivational Power Quote 

The Biggest Difference Between Courage and Bullying
“Courage is the fire, and bullying is the smoke.”
                       Benjamin Disraeli 1804 – 1881, British Prime Minister   

As I see it. . . . . . .

The biggest difference between courage and bullying

A person finds their courage and their strength in their adversity.

They will withstand the onslaught of uncertainty and stand their ground. The pressures can be become unbearable but they will not be move from their position and they will not quit. 

A person’s courage comes from their heart. It’s the person that steps forward become the leader when everyone is freeze in place that finds their courage.

Courage is the fire to do the right thing for the right reason. A person of courage stands out and becomes viewed as someone to be trusted and looked up to.

Bullying on the other hand is very interesting. The bully seeks out their victims; they will prey on the person that they perceive as weaker themselves. The bully sets out to terrorize the person to gain control over the person. A bully controls the person thought fear.

The only way a bully can control a person is when that person agrees to become a victim.

The bully finds power in creating victims. A bully has very low self esteem and only sense of power is in creating and maintaining victims and controlling them.

A bully is smoke because once a bully is challenged their will be no substance to the person.

The biggest difference between courage and bullying is the person with courage will prevail over a bully.

Success is a Series of Milestones


Motivational Power Quote

Success is a Series of Milestones
“I look at a victory as milestones on a very long highway.”
Joan Benoit Samuelson, Olympic Gold Medal Winner, retired American Marathon Runner

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

Success is a series of milestones

See your victories as milestones on your success journey and not as an isolated event. It’s the combination of you victories that lead to success.

Each victory moves your closer to your goals, but one victory will not create success it creates a milestone on your success journey. Many people savory their victory and believe that they have arrived. At that moment in time they become very susceptible to failure because they translated a victory not as a mile stone but as reaching the top of the mountain.

Your success journey is a long road and your victories have an accumulated value in your overall success.

Look at your setbacks and failures on your success journey as temporary conditions and as a learning experience. Learn from them and make the necessary adjustments to move forward better prepared for the future.    

Success is achieved by those who are persistent and see things through a success conclusion. See success as a series of milestones with each one your victories contributing to your long term success.
