The Power is in Teaching the Person How to Think

Motivational Power Quote


The Power is in Teaching the Person How to Think


“Teach the young people
how to think,
not what to think.”
Sidney Sugarman


As I see it. . . . . . . .
The power is in teaching the person how to think . . . . not what to think.

Telling the person what to think prevents the persons mind from becoming creative and will hinder their self-confidence. More importantly, it prevents the person from fully developing their thinking and decision making capacity.

Teaching a person to think creates personal power and self-confidence. They believe that they can think their way through any situation and make good decisions. They will challenge themselves to think out of the box and to make the tough decisions.

The person, who believes in their thinking, believes in themselves and that confidence shows.

Singleness of Purpose

Motivational Power Quote


Singleness of Purpose


“Singleness of purpose is one of
the chief essentials for
success in life,
no matter what may be one’s aim.”
John D. Rockefeller Jr., American Philanthropist


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Singleness of purpose is the foundation of putting our objectives in order. When we put our objectives in writing, we create goals.

A lack of focus or purpose is a major source of worry and stress. One of the best methods to address and remove worry and stress is to create a worry and stress buster. That buster is the singleness of purpose.

Singleness of purpose crates clarity and meaning to our life and puts our goals in order. It provides us with a sense of direction and a source of energy to move us in the direction of our goals.

Once we set the priorities for our lives through the singleness of purpose it becomes one of the chief essentials for creating success.

Risk Mistakes in Order to Succeed

Motivational Power Quote


Risk Mistakes in Order to Succeed


“A life spent making mistakes
is not only more honorable,
but more useful than a
life spent doing nothing.”
George Bernard Shaw, playwright, author


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Be willing to take the risk of making mistakes in order to succeed.

You’ll find successful people made mistakes on their success journey but they use their mistakes as a building block experience to learn and grow. They will learn from their mistakes and they make every effort not to repeat that mistake in the future.

What becomes paramount with successful people is they won’t dwell on their mistakes; they move forward and focus on their success journey.

We are far better off to risk mistakes rather than spend our lives doing nothing.

Real Integrity is . . . .

Motivational Power Quote


Real Integrity is . . . .


“Real integrity is doing the right thing,
knowing that nobody’s
going to know whether you did it or not.”
Oprah Winfrey, talk show host


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Real integrity is doing what’s right even when you may be the only person that would know what you’ve done.

When you think about integrity you think about the person’s character.

Acting with integrity is seen as an attribute in various aspects of a person’s personal and professional endeavors to do the right thing without looking for personal rewards.

Even when under pressure a person with integrity will do the right thing.

The person with real integrity emerges as the leaders, as a top performer, and is sought after for their advice and counsel.

Push Through the Pain to Achieve Your Full Potential

Motivational Power Quote


Push Through the Pain to Achieve Your Full Potential


“The man who can drive himself further
once the effort gets painful
is the man who will win.”
Roger Bannister, English Olympic athlete, runner


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Push through the pain to achieve your full potential.

Pushing through the pain is the difference between becoming a person who becomes an achiever and a person who is average.

People who achieve are those people who push through difficulties and are willing to apply an extra effort.

Pushing through the pain is being a positive thinker when those around you are negative. It’s having confidence in yourself and the belief that we can push through any difficulty successfully that we encounter.

The key is to maintain a positive attitude and spirit during the difficult times. This allows us to see the solutions and to see a way through.

Achievers do not see themselves as average.

What separates achievers is their perception of a difficult situation and their response to pushing through it successfully.

Find your inner strength to push through the pain to achieve your full potential.
