Focus on Reaching a Distance Shore

 Focus on Reaching a Distance Shore

“To see far is one thing; going there is another.”

Constantin Brancusi, Romanian-Born Sculptor    

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

Focus on reaching a distance shore

Many have dreamed of a great adventure . . . . and traveling to a distance shore. But very few have the courage take the steps to get them there.

A dream is a great ambition and a vision to be achieved. For many people their dream burns in their heart but they allow the flame to flicker and burn out not realizing that their dream is within their reach. 

To fulfill your dreams you have to set your course and remain focused on the distance shore. On your journey there will be obstacles to overcome and setbacks to where you may have to reset your course.  In challenging time always be focused on the distance shore as the destination.

You have to have the fortitude to pick yourself up after you’re knocked down and to get back on course when the winds of life blow you off course.

The distance shore is there for you to reach when you remain committed to your success journey . . . . and are willing to be persistent in your efforts.

You are the captain of your life . . . . and we set the course that your life will take. Set the heading for a distance shore . . . . Commit yourself to keep your success journey on course and you will find that as a result of your commitment and actions the distance shore becomes with in your reach.  

Focus on the distance shore . . . . and commit yourself to a successful journey.`

Your Efforts Make a Big Difference

Effort, not ability makes a big difference.

Two people with the equal ability will start a race side by side. But it’s the person that makes the extra effort that will out pace the person . . . . that relay’s only on their ability.

Your ability will open the doors . . . .  but it’s your continued effort makes the big difference in keep the doors open and your continued success and the level of success you achieve.

Effort will make the difference between . . . . success and failure.

Your efforts make a big difference . . . . Focus your efforts on what will move you closer to achieving your goals and success.

The Price of Success is Focus and Hard Work

Motivational Power Quote

The Price of Success is Focus and Hard Work

“The dictionary is the only place where success comes

before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for

success. You can accomplish anything if your

willing to pay the price.”

Vince Lombardi 1913 - 1970, football coach   

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

The price of success is focus and hard work

The person that is passionate about their career . . . . and is willing to work hard to become successful will have a strategic business advantage. They will beat the person to the finish line that has all the tools . . . .  but does not work hard to achieve success.

Hard work will separate the person that’s committed . . . . from the person that would like to.

The price of success is focus and hard work . . . .

When you combine your preparation . . . . with hard work that you perform away from crowds, it will make all the difference when . . . . you can execute it with excellence in front of people.

The price of success is what we’re willing to pay today to become the best at what we do. The price of success may seem high at the time, your are paying for it. But when you achieve success you will look back at the hard work and the sweat and say the price was well worth the results.

The price of success is focus and hard work . . . .  be willing to paid the price to enjoy success.

“You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even

destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.”

Mahatma Gandhi 1883 - 1944, political & spiritual

Leader of India  

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

The human spirit will prevail  

The only thing that can stop you in your life’s pursuits is when you lose the will to succeed.

You have it within you to withstand any challenge that you’re presented with and succeed. That will to succeed is within your human spirit to prevail in any circumstances that you encounter. That will is our strength of character and determination to remain focused and succeed.

No matter what the circumstances are, you have to stay strong and focus on the solutions . . . . to keep moving forward and not get trapped in the problem or living in the past.

Don’t allow the issues to obscure your thinking or the people distract you from your focus of resolving the circumstances.

Focus on Why You Can

Motivational Power Quote

Focus on Why You Can

“Stop thinking of the all the reasons why you cannot

be successful and instead, think of all the reasons

why you can.”

Dr. David Harold Fink,  

 

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

Focus on why you can

You can do what you . . . . believe that you can do.

You will become the person in you dominate thoughts, whatever you want to become or achieve in your life first takes root in your thoughts. Form a crystal clear vision in your mind of what you want to achieve. See that vision in your thoughts as already being achieved and see yourself enjoying the benefits of your efforts and journey.

Keep that vision burning brightly in you mind and heart and pursue that vision with passion.

There’s nothing that can stand in the way of a person that believes in themselves, in their ability and is on a mission in pursuing their vision.

Clear the clutter out of your mind and keep your self-talk positive and focused on your objectives.

Focus on why you can . . . . and you’ll find the way to make it a reality.

Consistent Committed Effort . . . . Wears Down Resistance

Motivational Power Quote

Consistent Committed Effort . . . . Wears Down Resistance 

“It’s not what you do once in a while, it’s what you

do day in and day out that makes the difference.”

Jenny Craig, founder of Jenny Craig Inc.

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

Consistent committed effort . . . . wears down resistance

Achieving outstanding results is not a singular act or the result of a single event it’s the result of consistent committed effort in pursuing your goals and wearing down the walls of resistance.

The person that’s willing to apply themselves and make a consistent committed effort to achieve their goals will build forward momentum in the direction of their goals.

Without a consistent committed effort you will find that what you’re doing becomes inconsistent and your efforts become scattered without a clear focus, direction or progress. That person will have the tendency to drift through life.

When you make a consistence committed effort . . . . wears down resistance and you take command of your circumstances. Also it will make all the difference in what direction your life takes and your results.

A Defeat is a Temporary Condition

A Defeat is a Temporary Condition  

“A man is not finished when he defeated;

he’s finished when quits.”

Richard M. Nixon, 37^th President of the United States

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

A defeat is a temporary condition

Your attitude will determine how you view a defeat and how you will respond to the condition.

With a positive attitude you will look at a defeat as a temporary condition and look for the best way to bounce back and move forward.

After a defeat you have a choice. You can dwell on the defeat and waste your time and energy focusing on the defeat.

Or you can focus your energy and efforts on seeking answers and solutions. You will find that this best and fastest way to work your way through a defeat and to move on and to continue your success journey.

Control Your Emotions When You’re Negotiating

Motivational Power Quote

Control Your Emotions When You’re Negotiating

“You cannot always control what goes on outside.

But you can always control what goes on inside.”

Dr. Wayne Dyer, author

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

Control your emotions when you’re negotiating

Staying in control of your emotions when you’re negotiating is critical element of successful negotiations.

If you lose control of your emotions you lose control of the negotiating process.

Experienced negotiators will use the tactic of attempting to have you lose control of your emotions when they’re negotiating with you. If they become successful and you lose control of your emotions they take the power position and have a distinct advantage in the negotiating process.  

They will challenge your personally, your ability and your position in the negotiations to disrupt you. Remain focused on the big picture not the opinion of the other person.

Focus on the issues in the negotiation not the people.

The person that can stay in control of their emotions are in the power position in the negotiations. 

Control your emotions when your negotiating and you will increase the potential have having a successful outcome in the negotiations.

Persistence’s Makes All the Differences

Motivational Power Quote

Persistence’s Makes All the Differences

“I have not failed.

I’ve just found 10,000 ways

that won’t work.”

Thomas A. Edison, inventor

As I see it. . . . . . . .
Persistence’s makes the all differences.


Thomas Edison demonstrated the true meaning of the word persistence’s in his quest to invent the electric light bulb.


He could have quit after his third experiment failed. He could have justified walking away after his fiftieth experiments failed.


Who would have blamed him if he said enough after the one-hundred experiments failed? What Thomas discovered along the ways was 10,000 ways that an electric light bulb would not work before be achieved success.


Thomas Edison had a vision, he had passion but his real asset was his persistence’s. He stayed with his vision until that vision became a reality.


It becomes easy to quit when things don’t work out as we plan.


Be persistent and stay focused until you invent your light bulb.

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.

Motivational Power Quote


Complacency is the Silent Killer of Careers


“Each success only buys
an admission ticket
to a more difficult problem.”
Henry Kissinger, 56th US Secretary of State


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Complacency is the silent killer of careers.

The fruits of success can lead to complacency. You can see it in professional sports, business and in people’s personal lives. We have all seen people who have experienced success and could have taken their career to the next level, but they choose to become complacent and they never became the success that they capable of being.

Complacency becomes a trap and a silent killer of careers.

Success creates the opportunity to try again. The more success we achieve the more opportunities we invite.

Be on the lookout for the silent killer of complacency.

Don’t turn off the energy switch that powers your career efforts; keep your career burning brightly.

Do not misuse your time on non productive tasks; stay focused on your most productive activities.

Taking shortcuts can lead to failure; maintain your success habits.

Don’t have a sense of entitlement; earn your results from your efforts. Do your best and the best will come back to you with increased dividends.

Your next success is an effort away.

Don’t allow complacency to block your success.

Our Life is a Reflection in a Mirror


“Life is nothing but a mirror . . .
of your consistent thoughts.”
Anthony Robbins, author, motivational speaker


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Our life is a reflection in a mirror.

When we look into a mirror we see the reflection of our thoughts. Our consistent thoughts create the person that we are and the person that we see in the mirror.

Put your life in perspective and focus your thoughts on the person that you want to be. Focus on the people that who are most important to you and your goals.

Keep your thoughts positive and your mind full of the possibilities.

What we see in our mind is the person we see in the mirror.
