Conquer Your Fears

Motivational Power Quote

Conquer Your Fears

“If anything terrifies me, I must try to conquer it.”

Conquer your fears


If we allow our fears to persist they will paralyze us into inaction and into a downward spiral of despair.


Face your fears . . . . analyze why the fear exists. Determine what has the caused of the fear and work at finding solutions to remove the fear.


When you face your fears you have taken the first step in conquering your fears and letting the sunlight in to your life.


When you conquer your fears you take control of your life and your future.

When You Reach the End of Your Rope

Motivational Power Quote

“When you get to the end

of the rope,

tie a knot and hang on.”

Franklin D. Roosevelt, 32nd President of the United States

When you reach the end of your rope


Tie a knot and hang on for dear life.


At the end of the rope when it’s appears that all is lost; see it as an opportunity for a new beginning and to starting anew.


When you’re hanging on and look for solutions but don’t give up. Continue to look for answers until you find them; but don’t give up, hang on a little bit longer.


By hanging on we’ll start to see the ways through, over and around the situation.


Hanging on just a little bit longer, by itself can change the outcome.


Don’t let go, don’t give up, hang on.

Drop Your Bad Habits

Motivational Power Quote

Drop Your Bad Habits

“The best way to break a habit
is to drop it.”

Leo Aikman

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


Drop your bad habits.


We do it without thinking; it’s a habit.


Habits are routines that we developed over time that will either make our life productive or create a negative influence.


Most of our habits are positive that makes our life better as result of forming those habits.


At times bad habits drift into our life. If bad habits are allowed to continue and not addressed the habits have a negative influence on our daily life.


Once you realize that you have bad habits, drop them.


It will take a commitment on your part to drop the habit. Focus on dropping the habit everyday with a deadline to remove the habit. It will take 21 days to change a habit and drop it.


Expand your good habits and expand the positive influences in your life.

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.

Get It Going and Adjust

Motivational Power Quote

Get It Going and Adjust

“You don’t have to get it right,

you just have to get it going.”

Mike Lipman

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

Get it going and adjust


Everything doesn’t have to be just right to get started.


If you’re waiting for a time that you can get everything right before you start, you’ll never get started; there’s no perfect time.


Make the best decision you can to get started and move forward. Monitor your results and where things are not meeting your expectations; make the adjustment to get them on track.


Inaction creates far more risk then actions that need’s adjustments.


Get it going and adjust where needed.

Doing What’s Right When no One is Around

Motivational Power Quote

Doing What’s Right When no One is Around

“Integrity is doing the right thing,

ever if there is no chance

you would be caught doing

the wrong thing.”

David Cottrell, author, speaker

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


Doing what’s right when no one is around.


Doing the right thing is a choice, a choice about one’s integrity when there’s no one around watching what you’re doing.


One’s integrity should be non-negotiable. Integrity is part of our core values and who we are as a person.


There will be times that that we reach a crossroad were we can choose to compromise our integrity because no one will ever find out what we did. At that moment we are testing our integrity. A small compromise with our integrity changes our values and tarnishes our truthfulness with others and ourselves.


Maintaining your integrity and doing the right thing when no one is around, creates your reputation and is a foundation for continued success.


There will always be one person there no matter what you’re doing, and that person is you.


Be honesty with yourself in your thinking and do the right thing.

Change Your Situation With Positive Self-Talk

Motivational Power Quote

Change Your Situation With Positive Self-Talk

“Use words to change your situation,

not to describe it.”

Lee J. Colin

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


Change your situation with positive self-talk.


Positive self-talk is determined by the quality of our thinking and is reflected in our attitude, and is translated into our actions.


Use your self-talk to evaluate your situation and to find the best way to change the situation. Look for positive solutions in any situation that you find yourself in.


Don’t use your thinking or your words to describe your situation. That thinking and description focuses on the negative and the problem not the solutions.


Focus on moving past the current situation creating a positive path to change and to move forward.


Stay focused on your solutions with positive self-talk.

What Matters is What We Do

Motivational Power Quote

What Matters is What We Do

“What we think or what

we know or what we believe is,

in the end of little consequence.

The only consequence is what we do.”

John Ruskin, social thinker

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


What matters is what we do


What we think will make or break us. A positive thinking builds the solid foundation for a successful and happy life.

What we believe is the basis for what actions we take.


They all are of little consequence if we don’t use them. What will separate us from the competition is what we do.


To succeed we have to take positive action.

to accept conditions as they exist,

or accept the responsibility . . . .

for changing them..”

Two primary choices about conditions . . . .


The conditions in our live are about choices.


We can’t always control what happens to us; we have choice the on what to do once the condition occurs.


There are two primary choices once the condition occurs.


One of our choices is accept the condition as a fact that it’s out of our control to resolve or to do nothing. In this case the out come will either be controlled by other people or by the circumstances of the conditions. We lose all control.


We can take a proactive approach to the conditions, accept the responsibility to change the circumstances and proactively move forward and determine our outcome.
