Success is a Journey of Endurance

Success is a Journey of Endurance

“First say to yourself what you will be; and then do,

what you have to do. Life is a grindstone, whether it

wears you down or polishes you up depends

on what you are made of.”

Zig Ziglar 1926 – 2012, American Author,

Salesman and Motivational Speaker

   

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

Success is a journey of endurance

Your success journey starts with a vision that you have for the future and the first step in the right direction.

Your dreams for the future . . . . see the things that you want to accomplish. Let those visions become crystal clear in their mind on what they are . . . . and on what you want accomplish.

Even with a crystal clear vision . . . . success can remain elusive. Why?

A dream remains a dream of what can be. It not until you decide to take action on your dreams . . . . will anything positive happen to live them. The moment that you take positive action on your dreams . . . . you start your success journey to fulfill your dreams.

Once you decide to take action on your dreams . . . . you have to create a road map to achieve your desired results.  Turn your dreams into written goals with a timeline to achieve them. Your goals become an effective way to measure your forward progress . . . . They create the mile markers to keep you moving in the right direction.

Written goals can make all the difference on your success journey hitting its mark.

Having written goals create a sense of purpose in your days . . . . and in your activities. The closer your goals are aliened with your activities the steadier your success journey will become.

Control the use of your time . . . . and the energy that you’re put into your days. Focus your activities on the actions that will move you forward and closer to your fulfilling your goals and dreams.

Wasting your time and energy moves you further away from your dreams and leaves you with a feeling of exhaustion being unfulfilled.  

Your success journey will experience many twists and turns along the way some creating an expressway and some creating a detour. No matter what conditions you face on your success journey . . . . Your conditions become temporary conditions that you’re able to adjust to or work around when you have written goals and a plan to guide you.

You have to remain focused on your objectives . . . . and many times your success journey becomes a journey of endurance. Stay strong . . . . stays focused . . . . and keep moving forward.

Success is a journey is a journey of endurance . . . . not an expressway.

Multiply Your Opportunities

Motivational Power Quote

Multiply Your Opportunities

“Opportunities multiply as they are seized.”

Sun Tzu, author the Art of War

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

Multiply your opportunities.

Opportunities come in many shapes and sizes. Each one brings with it a unique potential when we effectively take action on them. Each opportunity has the capacity to move you closed to your goals and objectives.

To maximize your opportunities it important to seize each of the opportunities that presented to you. As you seize your opportunities your opportunities will multiply into an unstoppable force of forward momentum.

As you seize your opportunities they will grow and your opportunities will breed new opportunities.

When you seize your opportunities and take advantage of them and you are releasing your personal power and opening the doors of unlimited potential.

Seize your opportunities and take positive action on them and you will multiply your opportunities.

Do it or Don’t

  Motivational Power Quote

Do it or Don’t

“Do or do not. There is no try.”

Yoda, Jeri Master in Star Wars

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


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.

Actions Are Determined By Our Motivation

Motivational Power Quote


Actions Are Determined By Our Motivation


“Every human action,
whether it has become
positive or negative,
must depends on motivation.”
Dalai Lama


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Actions are determined by our motivation.

The actions we take will be determined by our motivation.

With positive motivation we will take positive actions.

With negative motivation we will take either negative actions or action at all.

Our actions will determine the path that we will take on our success journey. One of moving forward in the direction of our goals, or one that takes us on a detour and ends up at the rest stop.

You control your level of motivation, your actions and your outcome.

Everything you do will be affected by your motivation; keep it laser focused and on target.
