Idle Mind - Idle Hands

Idle Mind - Idle Hands

“Determine never to be idle. It is wonderful how much

may be done if we are always doing.”

Thomas Jefferson 1943 - 1826, Third U.S. President  

American Founding Father, Principal Author of

The Declaration of Independence 

   

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

Idle mind - Idle hands

A person who sits and waits for success . . . .  will come to find out the hard way that the success bus doesn’t stop were there sitting.

The only path that waiting for success will take us is down the wrong path. That path is one that leads to frustration and moves us farther away from a successful life and your goals.

Success doesn’t come to those who sit and wait. Success is attracted by the doer in life . . . . the ones that go out and create their own success.

It’s amazing to watch a doer in action; they seem to be in a state of perpetual motion with a focused target to aim for.  They will continually focus on their target . . . . and if they get knocked off course. They will quickly get back on course and continue to move in the direction of their target.

From time to time a doer will slip and fall and experience setbacks  . . . . But they understand that they are temporary and they will remain focused on their goals and work through the challenges that they encounter.  

Idle mind – idle hands waste your time and accomplish very little.  Create a purpose for your life one that will challenge you to stretch yourself beyond to reach. Do everything within your power to stretch yourself to achieve your purpose and your goals and you will look forward to your future.

Success is Roots in Great Effort

Motivational Power Quote

Success is Roots in Great Effort

“Great effort springs naturally from a great attitude.”

Pat Riley, NBA Hall of Fame Coach

   

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

Success is rooted in great effort

The difference between a good and a great effort can be found . . . . in a person’s attitude.

Achievers have a great attitude . . . . and attitude their attitude drives their success and . . . . becomes an important element is their long term success.

A good effort is one that is found in the attitude of; let’s see what happens, I’ll give it a try or it won’t work but.

A great effort is created in the attitude of . . . .  I can do it . . . . I will do it . . . . let me do it.

The root of a great effort is established in the way a person looks at the task or a challenge. A person with a possibility attitude will look at the situation and say to themselves . . .  I can do it and . . . . they find the way to successfully get it done.

Successful people will extend themselves to succeed. You will also find them consistently . . . . making the type of effort to place them at the top of their profession.

Successful people have a great attitude . . . . and their efforts will mirror their attitude.  

Success is rooted of great effort . . . . is found in a person’s attitude.

An Optimistic Is a Believer . . . .

Motivational Power Quote

An Optimistic Is a Believer . . . .

“The more optimistic you are, the happier you will be.”

Source Unknown

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

An optimistic is a believer . . . .

An optimistic believes that today will be a great day . . . . and they will everything in their power to ensure that the day turns out the way that they believe it will.

When things don’t turn out the way that they have planned . . . . an optimistic know that they can change the outcome. They work hard at changing the outcome until the results change. When they can’t change things they make the best out of the way things have turned out.

An optimistic doesn’t quit . . . . they keep pushing forward.

They have eternal hope and they approach things . . . . with an attitude of fulfilling their hopes and dreams and work hard . . . . at making their dreams become a reality.

The optimistic are the same as other people in many respects when it comes to their success journey. They experience failure and encounter obstacles and setbacks.

The difference with an optimistic . . . . is how they approach the challenges in their lives.

No matter what situation is they’re facing they take a positive approach to it. They have the confidence in themselves to look at the challenge . . . . and to find a positive solution to the challenge.

An optimistic is a believer and believes that all things are possible . . . . and that they have the ability to find a way to work things out.

As a result of the way an optimistic thinks and with their positive attitude the optimistic . . . . has the capacity to achieve success at a far greater rate then the pessimistic.

An optimistic is a believer and looks at your world from the prospective of what can be  and will find the way to make it happen.

The Human Spirit Will Prevail

Motivational Power Quote

The Human Spirit Will Prevail

“You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even

destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.”

Mahatma Gandhi 1883 - 1944, political & spiritual

Leader of India  

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

The human spirit will prevail  

The only thing that can stop you in your life’s pursuits is when you lose the will to succeed.

You have it within you to withstand any challenge that you’re presented with and succeed. That will to succeed is within your human spirit to prevail in any circumstances that you encounter. That will is our strength of character and determination to remain focused and succeed.

No matter what the circumstances are, you have to stay strong and focus on the solutions . . . . to keep moving forward and not get trapped in the problem or living in the past.

Don’t allow the issues to obscure your thinking or the people distract you from your focus of resolving the circumstances.

The human spirit to prevail is within you. Keep the flame burning brightly in your spirit and let your actions speak for you.

Your spirit and strength of mind will create an unstoppable force in your life to . . . . where the possibilities become unlimited.

The human spirit will prevail . . . . when you fully release it.

Set Your Expectations High and Exceed Them

Motivational Power Quote

 

Set Your Expectations High and Exceed Them

“Nobody can prevent you from

choosing to be exceptional.”

Mark Sanborn, The Fred Factor  

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

Set your expectations high and exceed them

Go beyond where you have been and stretch your boundaries to new and into uncharted territory that will lead you to success and prosperity.

Use your past as a launching pad to the stars, which raises your bar and places you with the eagles soaring above the clouds to unlimited opportunity. 

Setting high expectation escalates your thinking to a new and higher level and your attitude will be enlightened with the visions of new possibilities. 

Your expectations are the view of your future as you see it. The heights of your expectations are a leading indicator for your future, aim high.

Leave the past behind you. Look into the future with high expectation and focus your thinking and energy on achieving those expectations and challenge yourself to go beyond your expectations and exceed them.

Believe you can, believe you will and set your expectations high and exceed them.

The Right Road is the High Road

Motivational Power Quote

The Right Road is the High Road

“Taking the high road

will always make for

a more rewarding and

sometimes difficult journey.

But you never get lost.”

Peg Woods, author

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


The right road is the high road


The road we choose to travel is always our choice.


The high road represents the road of choice.


The journey on the high road may represent a challenge; to stay on course when there are a number of exits that appear to be the easier path to travel.


The easier path is one of compromising of our values and this is a path that will get us lost.


Stay the course on the high road and you will find the journey to be rewarding and you will never become lost.


The right road is the high road.
