Fear is a Paper Tiger

Fear is a Paper Tiger

“The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest

is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tiger, you

can do anything you decide to do.”

Amelia Earhart, American Aviation Pioneer   

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

Fear is a paper tiger

A person with fear in their heart derails their success journey . . . and kills their career.

No matter if it’s the fear of the unknown . . . .  the fear of failure . . . . or the fear to take action fear paralyzes a person into inaction. That fear prevents a person from taking the actions required to succeed. It will also greatly hinder a person’s ability to be successful in almost any endeavor.

When you make a decision to act . . . . you will dissolve any fear that you have . . . . Once you act you find that your fears will melt away quickly with your actions.

Once you make the decision to act you find that you can do anything that you decide to do . . . . and believe you can do.

Fear is a paper tiger . . . . and the silent killer of careers . . . . and will derail your success . . . . and will move you into inaction . . . . and a lifetime of “I can’t.” Take the actions to move the fear out of your life. Move forward into the future with a “I can do it” attitude . . . . and the “I will zone”  and you will find yourself accomplishing amazing things.

The Time to Start is Now . . . .

The Time to Start is Now . . . .

“If you wait for the perfect moment when all is safe

and assured, it may never arrive, mountains

will not be climbed, races won, or

lasting happiness achieved.”

 Maurice Chevalier 1888 - 1972, French Actor,

Cabaret Singer, Entertainer  

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

The time to start is now . . . .

There is no perfect moment to start something . . . . and to move forward. But the best time to start is now . . . . and in this moment.

You can make all the excuses in the world for all the reason why you can’t start now. Or you can make the decision to move forward to the next level . . . . and the best time to start is now.

Not starting . . . . is practicing the art of procrastination of putting off what can be done today to some undetermined time in the future.

Starting now is making the decision to take control of your life . . . . and your destiny. The best time to take control of your future is now.

The time is now.

You can wait for a perfect moment . . . . but has you wait your life will pass you by . . . . and that perfect moment will never arrive. Or you can take control of the moments in your life . . . . and do the best you can with resources you have and start.

At that moment you will realize that the best time to start is now.

Become The Best at What You Do

 Become The Best at What You Do

If you can’t be the sun be a star.

It isn’t by size that you win or fail

it’s by being the best of

whatever you are.”

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.

Decide to Act . . . . Don’t React

Decide to Act . . . . Don’t React

“The possibilities are numerous once we decide to act

and not react.”

George Bernard Shaw 1856 - 1950, Irish Playwright

And Co-Founder of the London School of Economics

As I see it . . . . . . .

Decide to act . . . . don’t react

Your future is a blank canvass . . . . that only you can paint.

To paint the canvass with our future you have to have a vision for what you want your future be . . . . and how to paint in.  You will have to act on your vision to make it become what you believe it can be.

There are only two ways that the canvass of your life can be painted. You can take control of your life and act on determining your future and to start to paint your canvass as we want to see that future. Or you can decide to live a reactive life . . . . and have someone else paint the canvass of your life for you . . . . as they see your life.

The choice is simple to act and to control your future . . . . or too reactive and have someone else decide your life for you.

Create a grand vision for your life . . . . and act on your vision of what you want your life to be.

See your life as a blank canvass . . . . and use your imagination to paint your future. Remember you have the bush . . . . it’s your canvass . . . . and you have the paint. So paint your life and it can be anything that you want it to be.

Believe in the possibility for your future, because what you believe you can make come true.

Make the decision and to decide to act . . . . and not to reaction . . . . and to take control of your destiny.

Decide to act . . . . don’t react and you will take control of your future.

Sitting on the Fence is Procrastination

Motivational Power Quote

Sitting on the Fence is Procrastination

“It doesn’t matter which side of the fence your on you

get off on sometimes. What matters most is getting off.

You cannot make progress without making decisions.”

Jim Rohn 1930 - 2009, Self-Help Author  

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

Sitting on the fence is procrastination

When you’re sitting on the fence . . . . you just sit there without making any progress. You’re not moving forward . . . . and all you can do is watch the world passing you by.

Sitting on the fence is actively practicing the art of procrastination . . . . and putting off making decisions to some unspecified time in the future.

The person that’s sitting on the fence is on the fence by their choice. They have ended up sitting on the fence as result of not making the decision to take action . . . . and to move their life forward. The person is just sitting on the fence going no where.

Unless the person sitting on the fence makes the decision to get off the fence and get on with their life the best bet is . . . . that they will eventually just fall off of the fence into obscurity.

When we are facing a challenging decision nothing productive gets done until we get off the fence. Make the best possible decision that we can make under the conditions. Put your decision in motive and move forward and move on.

Sitting on the fence is procrastination . . . .

one of these moments at the time. As we begin to

change this moment, we begin to change our lives.”

D. Trinidad Hunt, author

In the moment

Your life is made up of millions of moments with each one having a varying degree on how. . . . it can impact your life. You can only live your life one moment at a time . . . . That moment has uniqueness in it and will never be repeated. If we fail to embrace your moments you’ll miss the opportunity . . . . to fully embrace your life.

In the moment you can make the decision that will influence you to change the course of your life and impact your future.

Grasp the moment in time . . . . and you will grasp your future.

You can attend an event and in that moment you can meet someone that can turn out to be the love of your life.

In the moment you can decide to go into a book store and find a book and that book will have a profound impact on your life and your success.

The moments will fly by you so fast that many times you fail to recognize the importance of that moment you where in and . . . . what that moment means to you.

There are times that you have to mentally slow down yourself drone to recognize the importance’s of the moment that we’re in. When you change the way you see the moment. You will change the way you response to your moments and in that change you have the capacity to change your life and create new results.

Treat the People You Meet With Respect

Motivational Power Quote

Treat the People You Meet With Respect

“Treat all others with the respect they deserve,

not with the respect you intent to gain.”

Author Unknown   

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

Treat the people you meet with respect

As you meet new people treat them with . . . . the welcoming hand of respect. Make the person feel good about being in . . . . your presence and make them feel good about being who they are.

Treating a person with respect has a magical effect on them and . . . . can create a bond of a lasting relationship.

Treat the people you meet with . . . . the respect that they deserve.

There will be time that you meet people who are absolutely miserable and treat you like dirt. It takes courage . . . . to stand above that person and not to respond in a like fashion. Stand strong and . . . . treat the person with respect not out of weakness but in the faith of who you are.

You will also find that the person will not know how to react to you and by treating them with respect . . . . you may find that the person changes the way they interact with you.  And you may also find them returning the respect that you have shown to them.

If the person continues to treat you with a lack of respect . . . . make a decision and  if you’ll have any future contact with that person, or to just flat out to end the relationship.  

Treat people you meet with respect and you will stand above the crowd and . . . . in time people will treat you with respect.

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

A 100% of your life is in front of you  

The past is written in the history book of your life.

You can refer back to your history . . . . as a reference point.

But you will be living your life in future. You can draw on your memories from the past and enjoy the moments. You can learn from those experiences and use your past and gain insight for your future actions.

When time has passed it’s gone forever and no matter how hard you try . . . . you can’t go back in time. You can’t relive the past or can’t go back in time to change the past. But it’s within your capacity to take control of your future . . . . and change the direction of your future for the better.

Your life is in front of you to live as you choose. What you decide to do with your life is a personal choice.

Good Judgment Comes From Experience

“I learned that good judgment comes from experience

and that experience grows out of mistakes.”

Omar Bradley 1893 - 1981, U.S. Army General  

 

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

Good judgment comes from experience

We are not born with good judgment we develop it over time and in our efforts to grow as a person.

Good judgment comes as a result of trial and error and in making decisions in both the good times as well as in the times of adversity. You learn from your decision making experiences and how those decisions have impacted the situations.

Your life experiences become the foundation for your knowledge and understanding and you will grow into wisdom and good judgment.

As you apply your wisdom to the situations you encounter you accumulate experience and that experience will become the basis of good judgment.

Good judgment comes from experience . . . . is a process. You were not born with it; it’s earned as a result of attending the school of hard knocks and learning from your life experiences.

When It Doesn’t Feel Right – Don’t Do It

Value

When you do what’s right not everyone will be happy with your decision but it’s the right one to make.

The question become one of what is the right thing to do and who are you making the decision for?

When we make the decision to do what’s politically correct we are making the decision to meet other people’s expectations. They may feel good about the decision but in the long run you know in your heart that you have not made the right decision.

When it’s doesn’t feel right – don’t do it.

The person that does what’s right is making that decision based on their values and their character.

Overtime, people will judge us by our character and our actions.

If We Want to Change Your Life

“If you want things to be different

perhaps the answer is to become different yourself.”

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, author  

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

If we want to change your life

Changing your life is a personal choice reinforced by your actions to make your future difference from what your life is today.

To change our life we will need a crystal clear vision of what we want our life to be in the future.

We first have to make the decision that we want change. Then we take the actions to bring the changes we want to our life.

Things only become difference when we become difference and commit ourselves to change.

To create lasting change we have to change our approach to how we think and how we respond to our daily activities.

Focus on your strengths that will become the foundation for a successful future and support the changes that you seek.

Remove any habits or activities that create a road blocks or will delay you from achieving the changes that your committed to making.

When you know where you want to go you will have a target to aim for. Commit yourself to positive change you change your world.
