that won’t work.”

Thomas A. Edison, inventor

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

Persistence’s makes the all differences.

He could have quit after his third experiment failed. He could have justified walking away after his fiftieth experiments failed.


Who would have blamed him if he said enough after the one-hundred experiments failed? What Thomas discovered along the ways was 10,000 ways that an electric light bulb would not work before be achieved success.


Thomas Edison had a vision, he had passion but his real asset was his persistence’s. He stayed with his vision until that vision became a reality.

hope to have in the future.”

The Weight of Things Left Undone

which can be done today.”

Doing What’s Right When no One is Around

Motivational Power Quote

Doing What’s Right When no One is Around

“Integrity is doing the right thing,

ever if there is no chance

you would be caught doing

the wrong thing.”

David Cottrell, author, speaker

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


Doing what’s right when no one is around.


Doing the right thing is a choice, a choice about one’s integrity when there’s no one around watching what you’re doing.


One’s integrity should be non-negotiable. Integrity is part of our core values and who we are as a person.


There will be times that that we reach a crossroad were we can choose to compromise our integrity because no one will ever find out what we did. At that moment we are testing our integrity. A small compromise with our integrity changes our values and tarnishes our truthfulness with others and ourselves.


Maintaining your integrity and doing the right thing when no one is around, creates your reputation and is a foundation for continued success.


There will always be one person there no matter what you’re doing, and that person is you.


Be honesty with yourself in your thinking and do the right thing.

Change Your Situation With Positive Self-Talk

Motivational Power Quote

Change Your Situation With Positive Self-Talk

“Use words to change your situation,

not to describe it.”

Lee J. Colin

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


Change your situation with positive self-talk.


Positive self-talk is determined by the quality of our thinking and is reflected in our attitude, and is translated into our actions.


Use your self-talk to evaluate your situation and to find the best way to change the situation. Look for positive solutions in any situation that you find yourself in.


Don’t use your thinking or your words to describe your situation. That thinking and description focuses on the negative and the problem not the solutions.


Focus on moving past the current situation creating a positive path to change and to move forward.


Stay focused on your solutions with positive self-talk.

that you realize you can.”

Celine Dion, entertainer

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


You can if you think you can


There will be a moment where we think we can’t.


In that very moment all our fears and self-doubt will surface.


What happens next will be determined on how you have prepared your mind to think.


The position thinker knows with certainty that they can and will move forward with self-confidence.


The negative thinker becomes trapped in their thinking and believes that they can’t.


Weather you can or you can’t is first determined in your thinking.


Believe you can and you will.
