Positive Actions Create Success

Positive Actions Create Success
“The secret of getting things done is to act.”
Benjamin David, Media marketing and Design

As I see it . . . . . . . 
Positive actions creates success

Positive action will increase the confidence that you have in yourself. That confidence creates the courage to step outside of your comfort zone . . . . and into the success zone.

A positive action becomes a key step to your success journey . . . . and in achieving your goals.

Inactions breeds doubt in your abilities . . . . and that doubt turns into fear. The fear of taking action . . . . and in making a mistake will paralyze your decision making . . . . and in your ability to act. Both will create a downward spiral and move you further away from achieving your goals . . . . success.

Plan your activities and actions to align with achieving your goals. When you align your actions with your goals you are taking positive actions to move you closer . . . . to achieving your goals.

Taking positive actions creates success . . . . and will keep you on purpose . . . . and will move you forward on your success journey.

Steadily Raise the Bar For Your Expectations


Steadily Raise the Bar For Your Expectations
"Achievement is largely the product of steadily raising the bar of
one's levels of aspiration and expectation."
 Jack Nicklaus, American Professional Golfer

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

Steadily raise the bar for your expectations

When we establish crystal clear expectations for your future . . . . you create the foundation in your minds on how you’ll achieve your maximum potential.

Steadily raising the bar for your expectations and the aspirations elevates your thinking to reach for and achieve big goals.

Raising the bar of expectations changes your future. You will find yourself reaching a little higher and a little further. You will be stretching yourself out of our comfort zone . . . . and into the possible zone.

As you stretch out of your comfort zone you stretch your potential and soar at greater heights. As a result your potential steadily grows and you will discover your true potential.

In raising the bar of expectations you stretch your potential to new heights . . . . and you will find yourself achieving more and steadily push the envelope to greater success.

Steadily raising the bar for your expectations will maximize your potential.

A Commitment to Personal Development


A Commitment to Personal Development  
“Wherever we are and whatever we are doing,
it is possible to learn something that will enrich
our lives and the lives of others. . . . . .
No one’s education is ever complete.”
Sir John Templeton, Businessman and Philanthropist

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

A commitment to personal development

Commit yourself to be a life long learner . . . . and to your personal development. The accumulation of your knowledge that you gain will separate you from crowd and lift you to greater levels of success and achievement. As a result of your commitment to personal development and learning you will stand out in your field.

Continued incremental improvement is your personal guidance system to a brighter future and greater levels of achievement. The accumulation knowledge becomes the fuel for your success journey. The more you know and apply effectively the further your success journey will take you.

Professional development and education is a life long endeavor the process is never complete. The moment that you decide that you know it all . . . . or have all the answers . . . . You begin to wilt mentally and your personal growth comes to an untimely end.

Become committed . . . . to your continuous learning and professional development. And you will find that the more you know, the more it will support your success journey . . . . and the further you will go on.   

A commitment to personal development . . . .  leads to learning more – achieving more – and earning more.

Maximize Your Resources to Maximize Your Day


Maximize Your Resources to Maximize Your Day
“The biggest tragedy in America

Don’t Let Your Days Pass You By


Don’t Let Your Days Pass You By
“Don’t be fooled by the calendar.
There are only as many days in the year
as you make use of.”
Charles Richards, Canadian Judge and Politician 

As I see it . . . . . . .

Don’t let your days pass you by

The world will pass us by if we’re content to continue . . . . to stay where we’re standing today.

There is no standing still; if we want to make progress you have to keep moving in the direction of your goals and objectives.

Complaining about your station in life will not correct any situation that you find yourself in.  When someone is complaining about their conditions they are not making progress . . . . and they are making the situation becomes worst.

You’re either keep moving forward . . . . or we’ll fall behind.

Falling behind becomes a slow death of success . . . . there is no standing still. Know the direction that you want to go . . . . and make steady progress in that direction. 

Don’t let your days pass you by. Set your course for success and take the steps that will continually move you forward in the direction of achieving your goals and objectives.

Committed to Do Your Best


Committed to Do Your Best  
“I’m trying to do the best I can, I’m not concerned
 with tomorrow, but with what goes on today.”
Mark Spitz, Olympic Goal Mentalist    

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

Committed to do your best

Doing our best is not a maybe . . . . or a sometime thing. It’s a personal commitment to be the best that you can be . . . . and in doing your best in the tasks that you undertake.

Stand and be recognized . . . .

1972 was a very special year for Mark Spitz.

Mark Spitz won seven goal metals in the 1972 Munich Olympic Games and was recognized as an Olympic Champion. During the 1972 games Mark did his best . . . . and was recognized for his commitment to excellence in being the winner of seven gold metals for excellence in his events.

Champions are made far from the arena . . . .

During the 1972 Munich Olympic Games Mark Spitz was recognized for his commitment to doing his best.

His gold metals where awarded to Mark at the games for his excellence, but he won the metals with his commitment to doing his best many miles away from Munich.

For many years Mark made a commitment to personal excellence and conditioned himself to be a winner and champion. Through the years of work to become the best, Mark’s toughest critic was Mark. He had to push himself to become the best he could be even when no one was watching . . . . and no one was around pushing him. 

He knew that to be the best it had to come from inside of him. He understood that other could push him . . . .  but to become a champion he had to push his limits and himself. 

When mark won the seven gold metals at that the Olympics he made it look easy.

With his years of preparation and dedication to do his best when he actually participated in his events at the Olympics he was physically . . . .  and mentally prepared to win. He had prepared for those events in his mind thousands of times . . . . and his commitment to doing his best made it look easy.

Champion in sports and in life earn the right to be called Champion . . . .  Be committed to do your best everyday of your life and when you do your best you will stand in the winner’s circle of life.

Two Choices


Two Choices
“There are many ways of going forward,
but only one way of standing still.”
 Franklin D. Roosevelt 1882 - 1945, 32nd
President of the United States

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

Two choices

There are two choices that will have a dramatic impact on your career . . . . and the level of success that you achieve.   

One choice is to continually move forward in the direction of your goals . . . . and the other choice is to stand still and let the world pass you by.

In moving forward there will be setbacks and obstacles that you will face . . . . and have to overcome to reach your objectives. Setbacks and obstacles are temporary and may slow you down . . . . you will have to stay focused on your goals and work your way through them.

You may encounter detours along the way that will cause you to make adjustments and take a new path. Take the path the moves you in the direction of your goals.

Your success journey is not an expressway to success it’s a toll road . . . . and you have to pay has you go.  At times the price may seem high but as you get to your destination . . . . and look back at your success journey. You can say the price was a small price to pay for achieving your goals.  

There are two choices . . . . make the choice to move forward in the direction of success and your goals.

Your belief at the beginning of any challenging situation makes all the difference. When you believe in yourself it removes your doubts . . . . and you set your course of action with confidence.

As you move into uncharted waters, there is apprehension and uncertainty. It’s at that moment that your beliefs will determine your outcome. 

Your beliefs determine the results . . . . and become the building block to successful results.

Releasing Your Potential is a Choice



Releasing Your Potential  is a Choice
“The potential of the average person is like a huge ocean
un-sailed, a new continent unexplored,  a world of
possibilities waiting to be released and
channeled toward some great good.”
Brian Tracy, Self-Help Author, Motivational Speaker   


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

Releasing your potential is a choice

No matter what status you reach in your life . . . . you all have potential more in you waiting to be released. It there under the surface and sometimes you have to pry it loose to release it . . . . but it’s there waiting to be released.

Many times you can feel your potential trying to come out. But in order to release it you would have to step out of your comfort zone to being it to the surface and release it. So it becomes a choice to embrace the status quo in your life to continue on the same path. Or to have the courage to step outside of your comfort zone . . . . to release your potential and to broaden your view of your world.

At other times you sense that you can do more then we’re doing. Or to be more then you are today . . . . but at that very moment you pull back. Why?  At that moment your sub-conscious is kicking in and is telling you . . . . you that you can’t do it . . . . or not to try.

When this type of thinking occurs your self-limiting beliefs are surfacing in your thoughts and becoming the controlling thoughts in your mind. Those thoughts create a mental roadblock in your progress of releasing your full potential.

To get pass this road block you have to have self-confidence in yourself. Have confidence in your abilities . . . . and believe in what you can do. You have to remove your self-limiting beliefs and replace the thoughts . . . . and think in terms of unlimited possibilities.

You live in a world of possibilities . . . . and you have the potential to soar with the eagles when you believe you can.

What you do with your potential is a personal choice. You can allow your potential to remain within you never seeing a day of sunshine. Or you can release your potential . . . . and bring it into the sunlight and to let our potential grow. We will find that when we let our potential grow it has unlimited possibilities.

When you release your potential you will see that there is a whole new world of opportunities awaiting you.

Releasing your potential is a choice . . . .

Opportunities May Look Like Hard Work


Opportunities May Look Like Hard Work
“Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work,
so most people don’t recognize them.”
Ann Lauders, columnist

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

Opportunities may look like hard work

The opportunities are there . . . . but you may not recognize them as they look like hard work.

The best opportunities . . . . are usually an obstacle away.

There no signs on opportunity that say “opportunity stop here” but they are there when you look for them.

The biggest opportunities seem to come as a result of your hard work and persistence’s.

Turn a possibility . . . . into an opportunity with your hard work.

Opportunities may look like hard work . . . . but when you look at things through the eyes of possibilities you will see past the hard work.
