Last Year is Last Year

Last Year is Last Year

“For last year’s words belong to last year’s language

and next year’s words await another voice, and to

 make an end is to make a beginning.”

T.S. Eliot 1888 – 1965, Poet, Author, Publisher,

Playwright, Literary and Social Critic

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

Last year is last year

We’re about to enter into a new year . . . . and with the new year there is an opportunity for you to have a new start.

Take your successes of the past . . . . and use them as building blocks for the new year. Use your past successes as a foundation to build your future success.

Take your setbacks and failure from your past . . . . and use them as a learning experience and then remove them from your thoughts. Look that those experiences as mental garbage put that garbage in a trash bag . . . . and put that trash bag in the trash can be done with that past.

Your new year will be what you visualize to be . . . .  and what you make it.   

Last year is last year . . . . and a new start awaits you to grasp it.

Take Responsibility for Your Failures and Successes

Motivational Power Quote

Take Responsibility for Your Failures and Successes 

“As a leader, you have to take responsibility for your our

failure as well as successes. That’s the only way you’ll learn.

If you keep learning, you’ll improve. If you improve, your

leadership will get better. And in time you will earn the

right to lead on the level you deserve.”

John C. Maxwell, Leadership Expert and Author

 

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

Take responsibility for your failures and successes

Over a lifetime you will experience the emotions from . . . . the highest of highs with your successes. And yet there will be days where you experience . . . . the lowest of lows from a failure. 

With each experience that you have . . . . there is an opportunity to learn.

The lessons from your life experiences become invaluable lessons that can be applied to move your careers forward to new heights and in the direction of success.

When you can effectively apply the lessons of both your failures and successes and . . . . you’re applying real world lessons from your past to build a better and more successful future.

Take the responsibility for your failures and successes . . . . and keep an open mind to turn your experiences into a spring board to your future success.

Motivational Power Quote

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.

Experience is The Breakfast of Champions

Motivational Power Quote

 

Experience is The Breakfast of Champions

“In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins;

cash and experience, take the experience first;

the cash will come later.”

Harold Geneen 1910 - 1997, founder President of ITT Corp

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

Experience is the Breakfast of Champions

Your life is full of experiences some great, some good and some that you would like to forget. Champions feed off of their experiences and understand that they have the capacity to contribute to your future succeed.

The experiences that you would like forget can create a tremendous springboard for your future success. As a result of those experiences you will learn what not to do in the future and why. You will also learn what you would need to adjust in the future and what has to be done better to create a difference results.

Build your future with your positive experiences and your successes, as they will become your strengths and be on the leading edge for your future success.

Use your experiences to build a pathway to wealth of new knowledge and information. Turn what you’re learned into success skills. As a result you will create financial wealth from an understanding of your past experiences and making adjustments to successfully move forward.

Use what you have learned from your past experiences and the life lessons and they will continue to pay you dividends in the future.  

Experience is the breakfast of champions.

Treat Failure a Practice

Motivational Power Quote

Treat Failure a Practice

“An inventor fails 999 times

and succeeds once, he’s in.

He treats his failures

simply as practice shots.”

Source unknown

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


Treat failure a practice


Our view of failure is critical in our pursuit of success.


If we view a failure as an end of the world experience it becomes that experience in our thoughts and we turn it into our reality and thought process become non-productive and negative.


Winners view a failure as practicing for the main event. They continue to practice until they get in right and along the way they become a better person as a result of the experience.


Practice until you succeed.

Focus on the Journey

  Motivational Power Quote

Focus on the Journey

“Focus on the journey,

not the destination.

Joy is found not in finishing an activity

but on doing it.”

Greg Anderson

As I see it. . . . . . . .
Focus on the journey.


Think about your success journey as an adventure, and as in any adventure you want to enjoy the experience.


The success journey is not any different if you’re enjoying the experience you will receive far more from the journey.


There are times on our journey that we will need stay focused to continue. If we are not enjoying the journey we will have a tenacity to quit.


Enjoy your journey; focus your efforts on the activity to keep you on track to reach your desired outcome. Your activities become your stepping stones to achieve success.


The true meaning of success is in enjoying the experience of the journey and your activities along the way.

When You Stumble Pick Yourself Up

  Motivational Power Quotes

When You Stumble Pick Yourself Up

“I had to pick myself up

and get on with it,

do it all over again,

only even better this time.”

Sam Walton, founder of Wal-Mart

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


When you stumble pick yourself up . . . .

This is great advice from Sam Walton who built the largest and one of the most effectively operated retail businesses in the world from his vision and one store.

Success is not an expressway it’s journey and in any journey we can stumble and fall. The person that finds true success will pick themselves up, dust themselves off and to do it all over again this using their experience to do it better.

A stumble is an opportunity to start again with renewed passion.
