Be Your Own Person

Be Your Own Person

“Each of us is issued but one life, and we know full

well how it will ends. It would be regrettable to

squander this one chance on someone else’s

appearances, someone else’s experience.”

Joseph Brodsky, Russian – American poet

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

Be your own person

Your life is not a test drive it’s the real thing . . . . and it’s your time shine. Each day you pay the price of admission to live your own life.

It’s in your choices that you create value in you day and the direction that your day takes you in.

Make the choice to live your own life . . . . and to live it to its fullest. Live your life . . . . and be happy in the things you do . . . . and live a life without regrets.

Don’t squander your life trying to be someone else . . . . or living your life through another person’s experiences.

Be your own person . . . .  make your own decision, walk your own path and lead your own life.

Make the Decision to Win

impossible to win the victory unless you choose to battle.”

Make the decision to win . . . . and make the commitment to take control of the process to make it happen. To win you have to activity get involved with your success journey . . . . and continue to move yourself in the right direction to the across the finish line.

You Play to Win

You Play to Win

“Each player must accept the cards that life deals him

or her. But once in hand one must decide how to

 play the cards in order to win the game.”

Voltaire 1694 – 1778, French Writer, Historian

and Philosopher

As I see it . . . . . . .

Play to win

You have the cards of life in your hands . . . . now what do you do?

You play to win.

Some people go through life trying not to lose . . . . and they will not play the cards of life that they were dealt. Rather then risking the cards they have they just don’t use them . . . . or play them. They go through life defensively . . . . and won’t mount an offence to push forward, to success or to win.

They’re in their comfort zone . . . . and in their safety of not trying.

There is another group of people that don’t know where their cards are . . . . and will stand on the sidelines without ever engaging or becoming part of the game. They will continually lose ground . . . . and will fall so far behind they won’t even be in the game.  

There is a small and very effective group of people that are the winner in life. They play the cards that they were dealt without complaining about the cards.

You where dealt a hand of cards . . . . you didn’t ask for them but now they’re your cards . . . . and you own them. The choice is now yours on what you do with the cards you have. You can complain about the cards which will take you eye off your objectives . . . . or you can play the cards to win.

What you do is your choice . . . .

Make the best uses of the cards you have . . . . and take the cards that you were dealt . . . . and play them to win.

To play to win is in the choice of your attitude. If you can’t change your cards, change the way you look at your cards . . . . and change the way you play the cards. But also play to win.

You Achieve What You Believe

You Achieve What You Believe

“We cannot achieve more in life than what we believe

in our hearts we deserve to have.”

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

You achieve what you believe . . . . you will achieve

Believing in yourself is a choice. To achieve success you have to believe in yourself . . . . in your dreams, . . . . and in your abilities.

Your personal belief system begins with your attitude. A positive can do it attitude creates a positive self-image, positive beliefs and will move you in the direction of positive results. While a negative attitude creates a negative self-image . . . . negative beliefs . . . . and very limited results. Your outcome will be a mirror image of your attitude.

Believe in yourself . . . . and what you can do. Setbacks and obstacles will occur on your success journey. But they are only temporary conditions . . . . unless we decide to quit.  

Believe in what you can do . . . . take advantage of your positive outlook and build a bridge to the future on the foundation of your strengths.

The choice of what you believe you can accomplish . . . . and what you believe is your choice.

You Develop Your Character Under Pressure

You Develop Your Character Under Pressure

“You never will be the person you can be

if pressure, tension and discipline

are out of your life.”

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

You develop your character under pressure

Your character is a lot like a diamond . . . . and its true value is developed under pressure.

In your moments of pressure you are being tested. How you respond to that pressure and test is a choice. The choices you make will make you who you are . . . . and will become the foundation of your character.

In your most challenging moments you will find the resilient to withstand the storms in your lives . . . . and make good decisions. You may come out of your challenging situations with some bumps and bruised . . . . but with your character in place you will come out standing strong.

Take the Personal Responsibility

Take the Personal Responsibility

“You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change

the circumstances, the seasons, or the wins, but you

can change yourself. That is something you

 can have charge of.”

Jim Rohn 1930 - 2009, American Entrepreneur,

Author and Motivational Speaker

As I see it . . . . . . .

Take the personal responsibility

Taking personal responsibility for your life . . . . your actions . . . . and for your accomplishments is the foundation of success and achievement.

The person that takes personal responsibility for there life is aligning the vision for there future with their actions and takes responsibility for there results. 

You can’t escape the personal responsibility for your life . . . . your success . . . . and your results. You can make the choice to embrace the personal responsibility for your life. Take control of your life and future . . . . or you will allow your future to be controlled by someone else.

Make the commitment to take personal responsibility for your future and your results and for what we achieve. By taking personal responsibility is to take control of our success journey and the path we choose to travel.

The future is yours. You can mold it . . . . and can sharp it anyway that you choose to do.  The future can be anything that you . . . . choose to make it.

Success and Inaction Both Come With a Price

 Success and Inaction Both Come With a Price

“We must all suffer from one of two pains; the pain of

discipline or the pain of regret. The difference

is discipline weights ounces while

regret weights tons.”

Jim Rohn 1930 - 2009, American Entrepreneur,

Self-Author and Motivational Speaker

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

Success and inaction both come with a price.

Inaction is making the decision to procrastinate . . . . the price of procrastination is paid over a life time.

Procrastination is making a choice . . . . the choice that is made is the choice of inaction which is to take the action is choosing not to act. The price of inaction is enormous and is carried forward in the form of pain in living a life of regret for the things that we did not do and in the lost opportunities.

Taking action to succeed . . . . takes self-confidence in your decision making and in your abilities. You also have to have the mental discipline to take calculated risks . . . . and to make choices.

In taking action some of your choice will create breakthrough opportunities in your life. While others may have very little impact on your success journey, and there will be those that you would like to forget. 

Failing to take action subordinates the action to someone else to make the decision for you. You will lose the ability to make your own choices and to choose your actions.

When it’s time to take action . . . . you have to step up . . . . and take the best actions possible in the conditions that we find yourself in.

                 

The pain of regret for your inaction is carried forward . . . . and can become emotionally draining.

The discipline of making choices and taking action has a price. But there is peace of mind that you’re in control of your choices . . . . your actions . . . . and your future.

Success and inaction both come with a price . . . . you pay for your success in advance. You paid for your inaction over a life time.

Design and Implement Your Life’s Plan

 Design and Implement Your Life’s Plan

“If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll

fall into someone else’s, and guess what they might

 have planned for you? Not much.”

Jim Rohn 1930 – 2009. American Entrepreneur,

Self-Help Author, Motivational Speaker

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

Design and implement your life’s plan

Design and implement your own life’s plan . . . . or someone else will do it for you.

It’s your choice on the way you live your life. The decisions you make . . . . and the outcome you achieve.

You can choose to design and implement a plan for your life . . . . and to move into the future with a purpose. Or you can live your life by what someone else has planned for you.

Choosing to design a plan for your life is a powerful tool. It gives you the ability to set your course for your future and a direction for your life. It’s also you choice to choose the path that you want to follow.

Designing your life’s plan will help you to navigate your success journey with a purpose . . . . and to focus on achieving your goals. It also gives you the advantage to control your success journey . . . . and in achieving your desired outcome.

Without a plan our life we will either drift . . . . or come under what other people plan for you. Make the choice to stay in control of your life, your future . . . . and your results.

Design and implement your life’s plan . . . . and you will move forward with a purpose and with a  sense of certainly.

Become the best at what you do

Make the choice to do the things that you do the best you can . . . . And make the decision to move yourself to the forefront of your profession by being the best at what you do.

It’s not a matter of what profession you’re in . . . . It’s a matter of how you do what you do . . . . in your chosen profession. Make the commitment to become the best at what you do.

It’s not the size of the job that has to be done. When the job has to be done and when that job is worth doing . . . . it’s worth doing it the best you can.

It’s not what as to be done . . . . it’s doing  what you’re doing the best you can with the resources you have  to get the job done successfully.
