We Live in Two Worlds

Motivational Power Quote

We Live in Two Worlds

“There are mangers so preoccupied with their e-mail messages

that they never look up from their screen to see what’s

happen in the non-digital world.”

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, author, professor of psychology

As I see it . . . . . . .

We live in two worlds

One world is the digital age where people are together in a room and they text each other to communicate. Their thumbs are moving like craze but no one is taking.

The other day I watched a person walk into another person at the Town Center Mall in Boca Raton Florida while they were texting and he flat out knocked the lady off her feet.  

We may need a new law for no texting while walking.

We also live in a world where have to be able to communicate one on one.

I see people in business attending live networking events working the room and building relationships and the foundation for lasting business and professional opportunities.

We live in two worlds on is the digital world and the other is the non-digital world. Business professional have to effectively live in both worlds to achieve business success.

The Canvass of Your Life is Blank

Motivational Power Quote

The Canvass of Your Life is Blank

“If a man is called to be a street sweeper,

he should sweep streets even as

Michelangelo printed

or  Beethoven composed music,

or Shakespeare wrote poetry.

 He should sweep streets so well

that all the hosts of heaven and earth

will pause to say,

here lived a great street sweeper

who did his job well.”

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

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

The canvass of your life is blank

Your life is a blank canvass and you will be the artist of your life.

Take that blank canvass and paint it with the vision for your life and your future as you want it to be.

Follow your vision with passion and no matter what your calling may be dedicate yourself to be the best at what you do.

Success Is Attracted By Effort

Motivational Power Quote

Success Is Attracted By Effort

“The highest form of success . . . .

comes . . . . to a man who

does not shrink from danger,

from hardship or toil;

and who out of these wins

the splendid ultimate triumph.”

Theodore Roosevelt, 26^th U.S. President

                                    

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

Success is attracted by effort

Success doesn’t arrive at our door step, it attracted by those who put in the effort and open the door of opportunity with their hard work.

Success is attracted to those who are willing to apply themselves and do what’s necessary to succeed.

It’s remaining focused on our objective and navigating the detours that we encounter and overcoming the challenges on our success journey.

At times it’s working a little harder; at other times its working a little smarted. It’s doing what’s required to achieve our objectives and succeed. But in all cases elements of work will be involved to reach our objectives.

Success is attracted by remaining focused on the big picture and a continued effort to achieve our goals.

Success is attracted by effort.

Great Minds Have a Purpose

Motivational Power Quote

Great Minds Have a Purpose

“Great minds have purposes

others have wishes.”

Washington Irving, writer

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

Great minds have a purpose

A person with a purpose has an enormous advantage over a person that wishes for an outcome. The person that has a purpose combined with passion creates an unstoppable force of forward momentum in achieving their desired outcome.

Our purpose is the fuel that powers our success journey and gives us the extra boost to keep us going in the right direction.

Turn your dreams into a purpose with an action plan.  Focus on accomplishing your purpose and achieving your goals. 

Great minds have a purpose, a sense of direction and goals.

A Defeat is a Temporary Condition

Motivational Power Quote

A Defeat is a Temporary Condition  

“A man is not finished when he defeated;

he’s finished when quits.”

Richard M. Nixon, 37^th President of the United States

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

A defeat is a temporary condition

Your attitude will determine how you view a defeat and how you will respond to the condition.

With a positive attitude you will look at a defeat as a temporary condition and look for the best way to bounce back and move forward.

After a defeat you have a choice. You can dwell on the defeat and waste your time and energy focusing on the defeat.

Or you can focus your energy and efforts on seeking answers and solutions. You will find that this best and fastest way to work your way through a defeat and to move on and to continue your success journey.

You may get knocked down, but refuse to stay down get back up bush yourself off and push forward.

A defeat is a temporary condition and when you reengage and move forward you put the defeat behind you.

There’s Always a Choice of Attitude

Motivational Power Quote

There’s Always a Choice of Attitude

“I discovered I always have choices

and sometimes it’s only a choice of attitude.”

Judith M. Knowlton, author

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

There’s always a choice of attitude

You can’t always choose what happens to you in your lives, but you can choose your attitude on how you approach what happens to you.

You form your attitude in your thoughts and how you think is a choice. It’s your choice on how you process your thoughts and on how you respond and act on them.

Your attitude will determine the way you see things and how you approach the situations and the solutions.

Sometimes the only choice you may have is your choice of attitude, but that choice is enough to may all the difference.

There’s always a choice of attitude and with that that choice we choose the direction for our success journey.

Progress is Advancing Towards What Will Be

Motivational Power Quote

Progress is Advancing Towards What Will Be

“Progress lies not in enhancing what is,

but in advancing towards what will be.”

Kabril Gibran, poet

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

Progress is advancing towards what will be

Advance in the direction of your goals and what can be possible.

What will be, lies ahead of us waiting for us to write the story of our future. That story is there for us to write and the pages currently blank and waiting for us to create the story of our life.

Advance in the direction of what will be and you will be moving closing to your goals.

Prepare yourself for your success journey and advance with confidence.

Set your expectation high for your future and create a positive vision for what will be in your future. Pursue you vision with confidence and a sense of purpose.

Progress is advancing what will be and making it a journey to fulfilling your goals and dreams,
