Don’t Give Up – Keep Pushing Forward

Don’t Give Up – Keep Pushing Forward

“Don’t give up. Don’t ever give up.”

Jim Valvano, Basketball Coach

As I see it . . . . . . .

Don’t give up – Keep pushing forward

Many people who fail never realized . . . . how close they were to achieving their goals . . . . and they throw in the towel and gave up.

When you hit a wall on your success journey . . . . Don’t give up keep pushing forward. Lean forward into the head winds of life . . . . and keep pushing forward until you find a way through . . . . around . . . . or over your obstacles.

Give a little extra effort with everything you do. Don’t give up . . . . Persevere your way through your challenges . . . . and setbacks until you succeed.

When things become challenging the course of least resistance is to say it’s too hard . . . . or it can’t be done . . . . and to give up which becomes the pathway of regret.

The pathway to success may not always be the easiest . . . . or the shortest route, but it’s the pathway to success is the right path to follow.  Achieving success and happiness requires persistent.

Never give up . . . . The weather the storms that you encounter in your life . . . . and you will that you’ll to be standing when the storms in your passes.

Don’t give up - keep pushing forward . . . . is a test of your faith and your courage. When you need the motivation to push forward . . . . push forward with persistence . . . . and with the faith to achieve your goals.

You’re as Young as Your Ideas

 You’re as Young as Your Ideas

“Nobody grows old by merely by living a number of years.

People grow old by deserting their ideas. You are

as young as your faith, as old as your doubts;

as young as your self-confidence, as old

as your fear; as young as your hope,

as old as your despair.”

Douglas Mac Arthur 1880 -1964, American 5 Star 

General US Army

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

You’re as young as your ideas.

You’re as young as your ideas . . . . your beliefs and your hopes.

You don’t grow old in years . . . . You grow old in your thinking by shutting off the flow of new ideas . . . . and drifting into the world of self-doubts and the questioning of your ability.

Keep your thoughts positive and your mind open to new ideas . . . . and to keep the new possibilities flowing. And you’re mind will remain young and receptive . . . . and shut off any self-doubts.  With a positive outlook you’ll step into the future with a high degree of self-confidence.

When you believe in yourself, in your abilities . . . . and have faith in yourself and in your actions you will keep your mind active and young.

You’re as young as your ideas . . . . and as old as our self-limiting beliefs.

And anything is . . . possible.”

Robert Collier 1885 - 1950, Author of Self-Help

With faith . . . . Anything is possible

A person that has faith in themselves has a vision for their future. That vision is so intense in their thinking; they know . . . . and believe with a sense of certainty that they will successfully achieve their vision for their future.

They move confidently through their days with a purpose . . . . and invest their time and energies in the activities that will reinforce their vision for the goals they want to achieve.

You Can Replace Material Things

You Can Replace Material Things

“The most valuable things in life are not measured in monetary

terms. The really important things are not houses and lands,

stocks and bonds, automobiles and real estate,

but friendships, trust, confidence,

empathy, mercy, love and faith.”

 Bertrand Russell V. Delong, Nazarene Minister

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

You can replace material things

When you look at the most valuable things in your life they are not the material things as they can be lost, replaced or done without.

Your family and relationships become priceless. Your relationships will be a mirror of the way you treat other people . . . . and in the way you live your life. You put down a solid foundation for a full life in your relationships. Once you have faith in yourself and confidence in your actions your life becomes a richer life of endless possibilities.

You can replace material things. Your family and relationships are invaluable and can’t easily be replaced. Treat them like gold for they among your most precious resources in your life.

When we treat our friends and relationship as a precious resource you will find that you can replace material things . . . .  and what is priceless in your life will be there for you.

The Possibility Zone

The Possibility Zone

“Take a chance! All life is a chance.

The man who goes farthest is generally

the one who is willing to do and dare.”

Dale Carnegie 1888 - 1955, American Writer and Lecturer 

As I see it . . . . . . .

The possibility zone

Step out of your comfort zone . . . . and take a chance.

Make the choice to take a chance . . . . to step into the possibility zone.

All of life becomes a chance! If you want to move into the winner’s circle of life you have to step out of your comfort zone and take a chance.

You have to be willing to step outside of the status quo of what you have always done . . . . and step in the possibility zone. In the possibility zone you will find new doors to open . . . . and new opportunities to grasp.

It takes courage to leave the safety of your comfort zone behind you and to change your life and your future. You have to decide that you want change in your life . . . . and then to take the leap of faith to make the changes happen. 

Your life can be anything that you choose to make it. To make it what you want it to be, you have to step out of your comfort zone . . . . and take a chance to create to a more productive future.

Step into the possibility zone . . . . and you will change your life.

No Problem is Insurmontable

No Problem is Insurmountable

“No problem is insurmountable with s little courage,

team work and determination a person

can overcome anything.”

B. Dodge, entrepreneur   

   

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

No problem is insurmountable

You face them everyday . . . . some look like mountains and others look like bumps in the road. Never the less they are part of your life and they need to be overcome or worked through successfully.

A problem that’s not faced will, in time will become a barrier to you on your success journey. They will either delay your success journey . . . . or bring it to a complete stop.

Facing a problem can be very stressful to a person but the alternative to facing the problem is allowing it to linger. A lingering problem not only increases the stress in your life it will also cause a degree of uncertainty and increased your anxiety. And after all the additional stress the problem has created it’s still there and growing.

Not facing your problem creates a . . . .  lose – lose situation in your life.

Face your problem with the convictions that you have the ability to correct the condition. Realizing that thing do not always turn out 100% the way you want them to. By facing the problem you have far better opportunity . . . . to create a successful outcome.|

Be determined to do your best to come up with the best solution to the problem.  

No problem is insurmountable when you have the determination to overcome the problem. When you have the faith in yourself . . . . and you combine your determination with your faith you create the personal power to successfully overcome any problem that you face.

Les Brown, self-help expert

   

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

Don’t get fenced in

You can think in terms of unlimited possibilities . . . . or you can fence yourself in with limited thinking. Whatever you decide to think is a matter of a person choice . . . . and what do and achieve will be a direct reflection of that thinking.

Believe that you were born to be great . . . . and that your life is full of unlimited possibilities. Peruse your life’s journey with the mental mindset that unlimited possibilities can be yours. 

To access the possibilities you have to the faith in yourself . . . . be willing to extend yourself outside of your old boundaries by taking down the fences that were limiting your thinking.

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.

Don’t Settle . . . . For Second Place

Motivational Power Quote

Don’t Settle . . . . For Second Place 

“Once you say you’re going to settle for second,

that’s what happens to you in life, I find.”

John F. Kennedy 1917 - 1963, 35^th President of the United States    

 

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

Don’t settle . . . . for second place

Accepting second place . . . . is admitting defeat before you start and becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.

Settling for second place lowers a person’s expectation for themselves and . . . . that person will never know what they are truly capable of being or doing. You will never achieve more then you believe that you will achieve and you will never do more than you believe you can do.

Strive to be the best that you can be and focus your efforts of being that person. Create the vision of being first and turn that vision into a goal. Pursue that goal with faith in yourself and . . . . the belief that your vision will be achieved.

You will never go higher then you aspire to go or further then you are willing to work to achieve.

Don’t settle  . . . .for second place . . . . go as far as you can go. Be the best you can be and work as hard as you can to achieve the results that you have the vision of achieving.

The Power of Courage

“Most of us have far more courage

than we ever dreamed we possessed.”

Dale Carnegie, author and self – help expert

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

The power of courage

It’s there waiting in all of us to be released, it’s the power of courage.

Courage is opening a door to a room that you’re never been in before and stepping into total darkness and knowing everything is going to be alright.

Life is like stepping into that dark room where we’re asked to step into the total darkness and have the courage to move forward with faith.

We release our courage when we face an uncertainty and dig deep down into our inner strength and find a way to overcome the uncertainty and turn it into a success.

Courage comes in many shapes and sizes and can be released by a smallest of actions that booster our faith.

Have confidence in yourself and release the power of your courage.

Faith in Things Unseen

Motivational Power Quote

Faith in Things Unseen    

“The. Power of the dream the faith in things unseen.

The courage to embrace your fears.

No matter where you are, to reach for your own star . . . .

To realize the power of this dream”

Linda Thompson, Actress. Songwriter    

As I see it . . . . . . .

Faith in things unseen

Your dreams are in your thoughts but remain unseen.

It’s not until we fully embrace our dreams that they start to become in focus and we start to visualize the dreams in our thinking.

The sharper our vision of those dreams become the more we see ourselves achieving the dreams.

In order to take a dream from a vision and make it a reality we have to achieve our dreams in our thoughts and step out of our comfort zone to achieve them.

Stepping out of your comfort takes a leap of faith on your part and having the confidence in yourself that you will successfully achieve your objectives.

Have the faith in things unseen and step forward with confidence and the unseen will come into clear focus and you will see the way to successfully achieve and live your dreams.

Step Out of the Shadows Into the Light

Motivational Power Quote

Step Out of the Shadows Into the Light

“Never fear shadows they simply mean

there’s a light somewhere nearby.”

Ruth E. Renker  

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

Step out of the shadows into the light

 
The shadows may seem like a dark and uncertain place, much like life can be at times.
 
How you see the shadows in your life makes all the difference.  You can see your shadows as a place to fear or you can see the shadows as being stepping stone into the light.
 
When you fear your shadows your life becomes very uncertain with no direction. When you look through your shadows you will be able to see the light and in that light you will see the path to follow.
 
A shadow is a temporary condition and finding the light is a choice.
 
Have the faith in yourself to step out of the shadows and into the light.

Go For the Great

Motivational Power Quote

Go For the Great

“Don’t be afraid to give up

the good

to go for the great.”

John D. Rockefeller, entrepreneur

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


Go for the great.


When we work at being good in our chosen field, what we’ll do becomes acceptable and we are selling ourselves short and we’re end up by just getting by.


The opportunities in being good are very limiting. There is very little or no personal growth or success in being good.


We have to have the faith in ourselves and give up the good and go for the great.


Going for the great will require taking calculated risks and the courage to step outside your comfort zone and to step into the possibility zone.


The opportunities and the rewards of going for the great become unlimited.


Go for the great.
