The Price For Procrastination is High

Motivational Power Quote

The Price For Procrastination is High

“Procrastination is like a credit card:

It’s a lot of fun until you get the bill.”

Christopher Parker, English actor    

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

The price for procrastination is high

Procrastination is the art of putting off what can be done today until tomorrow or maybe sometime in the future. The price for procrastination is astronomical when you consider what you get in return for procrastination.

In part the price for procrastination is you are expending your time today without it being any return in tangible benefits for it in the future. By poorly using your time you are not only wasting the time but your resources as well. As a result you will lose your focus. Instead of have a clear path or direction to follow you will find that when you are moving you are moving in circles with no forward progress.

The cost of procrastination is staggering in its cost of lost opportunities, and what you pay in the way of frustration. 

Paying the cost of procrastination is like paying the interest on a credit card. The rate of interest you pay for procrastination is excessive. There in no end in sight on when you will be able to stop paying the bill or the interest for your procrastination. In many case you may never pay the bill off.

The next time you think about procrastinating think about the cost that will be associated with that procrastination.

It’s far better to pay the price for your success today and reap the benefits in your future then to be putting off what has to be done.

The price of procrastination is high and you are putting the cost of that procrastination on the credit card of your life and paying forever.

The price for procrastination is high . . . . Take the steps today that will move in the direction of success and in fulfilling your dream.

Your Highest Rewards

Motivational Power Quote

Your Highest Rewards 

“The highest reward for a person’s toil is not what they get for it,

Your highest rewards

Success bring many benefits, there is the personal recognition that you receive, a potential promotion.

There are the financial benefits that you attract as a result of your success.

You will be seen as a leader in your chosen profession.

All of which are important to the person as a result of their efforts and achieving success.

The highest rewards come from who you become as result of your efforts. The person that shows appreciation for their success continues to attract additional success.

Success open the door for you, gratitude opens the door to unlimited opportunities.

Knowledge + Positive Action = Desired Results

Motivational Power Quote

Knowledge + Positive Action = Desired Results

“An organization’s ability to learn,  

and translate that learning into action rapidly,

is the ultimate competitive advantage.”

Jack Welch, former CEO of GE  

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

Knowledge + positive action = desired results

Knowledge is a precious resource but has little or no value until it’s properly applied with a positive purpose.  When knowledge is properly applied it becomes an invaluable resource for everyone that comes into contact with it.

Knowledge properly applied can positively affect many lives.

Put your knowledge into action as quickly as possible and watch the benefits of your knowledge multiply.

When you release the power of your knowledge you release the power of your completive advantage and your personal power.

Knowledge + positive action = desired results and becomes the pathway to greater achievement.

Life is Like a Piano

Motivational Power Quote

Life is Like a Piano

“Life is like a piano

what you get out of it

depends on how you play it.”

Tom Lehrer, American Songwriter

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


Life is like a piano


A piano is a beautiful to look at but its full potential will not be realized until someone sits down and plays it. The music is there to be enjoyed by the person who is playing the piano and for those who hears the music.


Our life is a lot like a piano, we all have music in us, it’s not until we release the music of our potential do we start to benefit from that potential.


Within our potential is what can be and what can be possible.


Hear your music and release your potential.


Life is like a piano we have release our music to enjoy the benefits of the music that’s within us.

There is No Benefit by Standing Still

Motivational Power Quote

“There is no Security in this earth.

Only Opportunity.”

General Douglas MacArthur

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


There is no benefit by standing still.


The person that stands still were find no security only the risk of being by-passed or ran over.


A stationary person becomes an easy target and losing ground.


Seeking new opportunities propels us forward, opens doors that were not there for us to see in the past.


Our future will be secured by the opportunities we create not by seeking security.


Either we are moving forward, falling behind went we stand the passes us by.


There is no benefit in standing still.
