Take Control of Your Life to Realize Your Full Potential

Motivational Power Quote

Take Control of Your Life to Realize Your Full Potential

“Only by coming to grips with difficulty can you realize

your full potential.”

Charles de Gaulle 1890 -1970, President of France  

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

Take control of your life to realize your full potential

To realize your full potential you have to handle the conditions that you encounter. You have to handle your success and you have to be able to handle the difficulties that you face.  Both have unique challenges and both will move you closer in achieving our goals.

When you encounter difficulties you have a choice . . . . You can choose to deny the fact that you’re experiencing a difficulties which would make the matters worst.

Or you can choose to face the difficulty head on and find the best possible solution to resolve the difficulty.

The person that effectively resolves their difficulties has a sense of control over their difficulties and will approach them and resolve them with confidence.

When you take control of your life to  realize your full potential . . . . When you come to grip with your difficulties and step forward resolve them. You also have to make the most out of your positive conditions that you encounter to turn them into positive opportunities.

Get Your Bearings and Change Your Direction

Motivational Power Quote

Get Your Bearings and Change Your Direction

“If you do not change direction, you may end up where

you are heading.”

Lao Szu, Chinese philosopher    

 

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

Get your bearing and change your direction

Did you ever have that feeling in the pit of your stomach that you’re working as hard as you can  . . . . and not getting anywhere?

You may have reached a point in your career or in your life that you . . . .  need to get your bearings and  change your direction.

You can reach a point in your life that if we continue on our present path we may end up in the wrong place. Reassess your present course and make the adjustments to change your direction to get your success journey back on course.

Even with the best intentions you can get off course.

In having written goals they will help you to indentify where you are and to re-examine your goals and if you’re heading in the right direction. Once you have re-examined your goals you can determine if you are on course or will need to change your direction.

When the time comes . . . . get your bearing and change your direction. Welcome the change . . . . get up a head of steam and move in the direction of change with passion.

You have to Stay in the Game

Motivational Power Quote

You have to Stay in the Game

“Winner lose more than losers. They win and lose more

then lose because they stay in the game.”

Terry Paulson, speaker, author   

 

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

You have to stay in the game

When you goal is to win . . . . you have to stay in the game to achieve your goals and objectives.

When you see a person standing in the winner’s circle of life  . . . . You see the result of what the person has accomplished. What you don’t really see is what it took for that person to achieve that level of success.

You don’t see their commitment and dedication to their career to become the best at what they do. You may not see or relate to the persons struggles, their setbacks, failures and them losing, what you see is their success. 

When a winner gets knocked down they get up and bush themselves off and thy again. A winner realizes that they will stumble, face failure and at times suffer defeats and lose. In order for them to succeed they know you have to stay in the game.

No matter how devastating their setbacks may be  . . . . They won’t quit they stay in the game and push forward. 

They may lose but they have the convictions and believe that they will have another day to win.

Winners believe in themselves and understand that in order to win . . . . There are risks in trying and that they may lose. But they also realize that without trying there is no success or forward progress in their life.

Winners will take the calculated risk in order to win and they will . . . . stay in the game.

Motivational Power Quote

Enthusiasm Keeps You Young at Heart 

“None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.”

Henry David Thoreau 1817 – 1862, American Author,

Poet, Philosopher, Historian

 

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

Enthusiasm keeps you young at heart

Your enthusiasm is the fuel that drives the spirit of your passion and keeps you young of heart.

Nothing ages a person faster then the lost of their enthusiasm.

Your enthusiasm is the spark the lights the fire in your heart to do what has to be done even when what has to be done is said to be nearly impossible.

When you undertake a difficult task with the enthusiasm there is nothing that can stand in your way from achieving your desired results.

When a person loses their enthusiasm they lose the spark in their heart and if it goes out they will lose their direction and drift through their life . .  . . With a purpose or direction.

Keep the sparks of your enthusiasm burning bright in your heart . . . . your enthusiasm keeps you young at heart and in your mind and spirit.

set him free.”

Architect, Poet

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

Michelangelo could look into a slab of marble and see it’s potential.

When he looked at a slab of marble he had a vision of what the marble could be. Michelangelo looked into a slab of marble and could see the angel hidden inside of it. He had the vision and the talent to turn slab of marble into a great work of art.

While other people missed what Michelangelo could see, he saw the angel and all they only see it as slab of marble.

Our life is a lot like Michelangelo and the slab of marble.

You can do what you see yourself doing. You have to look deep within yourself and chisel away at your marble until you release the potential and the angel within you.

That angel is your personal power to live the life that you where meant to live and to release your power to achieve great things. you have to believe in yourself and see it in your potential.

Don’t walk past the marble of your life without seeing the angel waiting to be released.

There’s no Room Service of Your Success Journey

Motivational Power Quote

There’s no Room Service of Your Success Journey 

“If you have the courage to begin, you have the

courage to succeed.”

David Viscott, businessman and author   

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

There’s no room service of your success journey

Success is not handed to you . . . . It’s earned as a result of persistent effort and will take time.

You have to have the courage to start your success journey and to go forward into the future with confidence and pursue your goals and dreams with a purpose.

The person that does not have the courage to start their success journey will never be in control of their life or success journey. 

The person that does not start their success journey will never see a successful conclusion to their journey. They will take that path that others lay out for them without ever following their dreams.

Breakdown the Walls of Resistance

Motivational Power Quote

Breakdown the Walls of Resistance

“Resistance and obstacles crumble under the relentless

pressure of constant determined effort.”

Tracy Brinkman, writer and speaker  

 

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

Breakdown the walls of resistance

You have been sailing along with everything going just fine and out of the blue - BANG - you hit a wall. You don’t create it, you didn’t anticipate it, but there it is right in front you.

When you first look at the wall it can look to be overwhelming with no hope of getting over it or resolving it. You can’t see a way to overcome it, and it looks to big to go around it.

It appears that the weight of the wall and its pressure will crush you.

A wall can be a condition, an obstacle or a gap in your thinking. That wall can become a game changer in your life in how we respond to it.

We all hit walls in our lives some bigger then others, but we all hit the wall at one time or another. If you become overwhelmed by the wall you lose the perspective on how to solve the issue and get wrapped up in the problem and not the solution and the weight will sink you.   

Some walls that you hit can be resolved by adjusting your thinking and or your efforts. At other time it will take a sustained effort on your part to breakdown the walls of resistance.

When you hit the wall we can back up and say that the wall is overwhelming and throw your hands up in the air and give up. Or you can commit yourselves to breaking down the walls of resistance through a focus and sustained effort and time. 

Apply relentless pressure to the wall until you breakdown the walls of resistance . . . . and the wall crumbles from your presistents.

Unlocking the Secret to Customer Satisfaction

Motivational Power Quote

Unlocking the Secret to Customer Satisfaction 

“There’s no great mystery to satisfying your customers.

Build them a quality product and treat them with

respect. it’s that simple.”

Lee Iacocca, auto executive    

 

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

Unlocking the secret to customer satisfaction  

A key to satisfying customers is to understand your customer, their motivation, their needs and their expectations. Creating customers satisfaction is not created in a vacuum, it’s a joint venture between the customer, your company and yourself. 

Your product has to meet the customer’s needs and exceed the customer’s expectations in order to be of value to them.

A product that falls short in meeting a customer’s expectations either will result in no business being transacted, no referrals or no future business. Missed expectations creates a, lose – lose situation for all of the parties.

In most cases your product is your service. Your service has to exceed the customer’s expectation for you to remain competitive and to compete in a competitive business environment. Establish the customer’s expectations for your service and make every effort to exceed that expectation.

Be respectful of the customer’s and their needs and you will build rapport and confidence with the customer’s

Unlocking the secret to customer satisfaction is in understanding the customer and exceeding their expectations.

Find What You Love to Do

Motivational Power Quote

Find What You Love to Do

“Find something you’re passionate about and keep

tremendously interested in it.”

Julie Child, chef   

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

Find what you love to do

You move through your life doing things that you dislike, but you do them because you find them in or comfort zone and you don’t want to challenge the status quo.

You labor your life away and you don’t find fulfillment in your career because you don’t enjoy what you are doing. When you dislike what you’re doing it makes getting started very difficult and procrastination easy and focusing on your career almost impossible. 

Indentify . . . . what it is that you love to do. The moment that you do and then start doing what you love to do, you’ll find that your life and career will change because you’re now doing what you love to do.  

The person that does what they love will do it with passion. They will find that they can’t wait to get started and their days will move at a faster pace because they enjoy what they’re doing.

When you enjoy what you’re doing, what you doing seems to be effortless.

When you find what you love to do . . . . you will have a sense of accomplishment in your career and in your life.

Motivational Power Quote

Personal Improvement 

“Never Neglect an opportunity for improvement.”

Sir William Jones 1746 - 1794, Anglo Welsh Scholar of

Ancient India

 

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

Personal Improvement

The opportunity for personal improvement will come in many different shapes and sizes with many of them coming when you least expect them. Keep your mind open to the possibilities of new opportunities for personal improvement and they will be there for you to grasp. 

At times the opportunities for personal improvement will come at you very quickly. If you’re not prepared to reach out and grasp the opportunity for your personal improvement it will pass you by in what would appear to be a blink of the eye and be gone forever.

You have to look at every opportunity for personal improvement as a stepping stone into the future with sharper tools. 

Don’t overlook what would appear to a small opportunity for personal improvement because a small opportunity can turn into an opportunity of a lifetime when they are acted on.   

Personal improvement is a progression that takes awareness of the opportunities to grow and time. With the steps that you take in the direction of personal improvement you will find that your steps are compounded with the law of accumulation.

In your journey of personal improvement you will find yourself growing to a new height and into a highly productive person. With that growth you will open doors that have been previously closed to you and follow a new path that you did not see in the past.

Personal improvement becomes the thin slice that leads to achieving your destiny and to unlimited success.
