Don’t Let Your Days Pass You By

Don’t Let Your Days Pass You By

“Don’t be fooled by the calendar.

There are only as many days in the year

as you make use of.”

Charles Richards, Canadian Judge and Politician 

As I see it . . . . . . .

Don’t let your days pass you by

The world will pass us by if we’re content to continue . . . . to stay where we’re standing today.

There is no standing still; if we want to make progress you have to keep moving in the direction of your goals and objectives.

Complaining about your station in life will not correct any situation that you find yourself in.  When someone is complaining about their conditions they are not making progress . . . . and they are making the situation becomes worst.

You’re either keep moving forward . . . . or we’ll fall behind.

Falling behind becomes a slow death of success . . . . there is no standing still. Know the direction that you want to go . . . . and make steady progress in that direction. 

Don’t let your days pass you by. Set your course for success and take the steps that will continually move you forward in the direction of achieving your goals and objectives.

With Faith . . . . Anything is Possible

With Faith . . . . Anything Is Possible  

“Visualize this thing you want! See it!

Feel it! Believe it! Make a mental blueprint . . .

And Begin to Build . . . Have Faith in yourself . . .

And anything is . . . possible.”

Robert Collier 1885 - 1950, Author of Self-Help    

   

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

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. 

Their vision has been translated into a blueprint for their future. From their blueprint they have created an action plan to ensure that they stay on track . . . . and to measure their progress in reaching the desired results.

With their faith and blueprint in hand they will pursue their vision with a purpose.

Their faith will keep them on purpose. It will also help them to remain focused on the big picture and their vision.

With their faith . . . . they will be able to successfully navigate the obstacles and setbacks that they encounter in pursuing their vision and to stay on purpose. A person with faith will stand strong against the winds of life. With that faith  they have in themselves they will continue to push forward pass their obstacles.

With Faith . . . . Anything is possible. for those with faith, because they make it so.

Goals Will Inspire You to Stretch Your Limits

Goals Will Inspire You to Stretch Your Limits

 “Goals there is no telling what you can do when you get

 inspired by them. There is no telling what you can

do when you believe in them. There’s no telling

what will happen when you act on them.”

Jim Rohn 1930 - 2009, American Entrepreneur,

Author and Motivational Speaker

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

Goals will inspire you to stretch your limits

You will soar as high as believe you can . . . . and as high as you plan to go.

Written goals clarify your purpose and set your sights on how high you want to soar. Your goals will give your targets to aim for . . . . and will help you to set the course to achieve your objectives.

With written goals you will be able to chart your course . .  . and measure your progress.

Goals will keep you focused . . . . and inspire you to continue to move in the direction of your goals. And that direction will point you in the direction of achieving greater opportunities.

When you take the actions to achieve your goals, you release your personal power to soar at a higher level to achieve your goals.

Your goals will stretch your limits . . . . and inspire you to go forward to stretch your limits and to achieve greater levels of success.

Choose the Right Path

Motivational Power Quote

Choose the Right Path

“It is easy to choose a path in life that has been well traveled by

many before you and crowed  by many walking beside you.

There is safety in knowing the obstacles ahead, comfort and

warmth from the companionship of others and certainty in the

destination. Embarking on a journey into unknown territory

steely courage, an adventurous spirit, a deep belief in oneself

and simple hope for a better tomorrow.”

Marcy Blochowiak, CEO World Financial World    

 

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

Choose the right path

There will choices on what path to travel in your life time.

There is the path that so many have taken before you . . . . that path is easy to identify become you can see the ruts that have been worn into that path. The more the path is used the deeper the ruts become.

For those who on that path there seems to be a sense of safety in repetition. We will see the same people on that path everyday they become familiar and comfortable with that path . . . . and the path has become a habit.

The same people get on the path everyday and get off it at night only to repeat . . . . the same journey day after day. The journey starts at the same place everyday . . . . and seems to end at the same place every night. If the person were to look back on their journey they would see that they are where they started . . . . and they have not made any meaningful progress.

There is also another path which is much harder to find, there’s no signs that reads the road to success. The path is there but is used by very few people . . . . so it not so easy to indentify. If we’re looking for footprints to follow they may be hard to find so we have to decide to leave our own footprints for others to follow.

If we choose the take this path you will become a trail blazer.

As a trail blazer you will have step out of the rut of your current path . . . . and choose to create your own path to explore new territory and new opportunity.  

You have to have the courage to step out of the safety of your rut . . . . And have the confidences in yourself to step into the unknown and onto the path of personal growth and greater success.  

Staying on your current path you see the same view everyday . . . .  and your results will remain the same and not improve.

Choose the right path for you . . . . The one that will let you grow into the person that you want to be . . . . and to achieve the results that you want to achieve. The path is there for you but you will have to create it

. . . . and make the choice to step onto the path. Choose the step out of the rut and onto the path that will continue move in the directions of your goals.

Motivational Power Quote

Doers Get It Done as the Non-Doer is Watching 

“A non-doer is very often a critic - - that is someone who

sits back and watches doers, and then waxes philosophically

about the doers are doing, it’s easy to be a critic,

but being a doer requires effort, risk and change.”

Dr. Wayne Dyer, Self-Help Author and Speaker

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

Doers get it done as the non-doer is watching

The doers in life . . . . get the job done when it has to be done. They won’t stand around making excuses or . . . . just keep talking about what has to be done. Doers find a way to just get the job done.

The doers get it done by getting started and . . . . follows through until the task is successfully done.

A doer will say to themselves . . . . why not, why not me and why not right now. The doer is a forward thinker that pushes forward . . . . with an air of self-confidence searching out the successful conclusions.   

The critic can find a million reasons . . . . why something can’t be done.  They will try to convince everyone around them that will listen to them

. . . . that the task is impossible to do successfully. The critic motto is it can’t be done so why should I even try.

The critic just makes excuses and complains.

The doer just makes progress and moves forward.

The biggest difference between a doer and critic . . . . is the doer is getting it done successfully. While the critic a bystander and watching the doer successfully completing the task. The critic will still be saying it can’t be done or how they would have done it differently.   

Doers get it done as the non-doer is watching . . . . When you need something done find a doer.

Follow Your Dreams to Successful Results

Motivational Power Quote

Follow Your Dreams to Successful Results 

“Dare to risk public criticism.”

Mary Kay Ash 1918 - 2001, American Businesswoman,

Founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics

 

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

Follow your dreams to successful results  

You will meet two types of people when you are following our dreams.

The first is the negative dissenter . . . .

As you pursue your dreams the dissenter may not see what you see . . . . or understand the path you’re following on your success journey. This type of person . . . . will become critical of the path that you have chosen to follow. They will be critical of you and your efforts both in private and in public and will criticize a person to anyone that will listen.

There audience becomes smaller and smaller over time and people will avoid them when ever it’s possible.

This group of people is unhappy . . . . about their lives and will try to vent their frustrations on other people. When you encounter the dissenters you are best served to steer a wide path around them and minimize any contract with them,

The dissenter’s number one goal in their life is to see people fail and to be able to say I told you so.

Dare to risk public criticism . . . . to follow your dream and succeed.

The second type of person that we encounter is the person that will be there for you when you need them and . . . . they are there to support your efforts. They will push you when a push is needed and they will boost you when you need a lift.

They also will kick you in the butt to get you headed in the right direction.

The people are vastly difference and your association with them will mirror your progress on your success journey.

Dare to follow your dreams to successful results and . . . . associate with the people that will support you and your success journey.

The Turtle Makes Progress When . . . .

Motivational Power Quote

The Turtle Makes Progress When . . . .

“Remember the turtle - - He never makes any progress

till he sticks his neck out.”

Source Unknown   

 

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

The turtle makes progress when . . . .

 

The turtle lives their life in a shell . . . . And when they encounter any kind of challenges they retreat back into their shell to hide from the world.

Don’t be a turtle and live in a shell . . . . Be willing to stick your neck out to make progress.

To break away from your shell and experience what life has to offer you . . . . You have to come out of your shell and step into the world.

You have to first venture away from your shell and you will have to take a leap of faith to move away from the safety of your shell and into the world.

When you step out of your shell . . . . You have to stick our neck much like the turtle. When you stick your neck out there is an element of risk involved but also the sunshine of success there waiting there for you.

Remember the turtle . . . . The turtle makes progress only when they stick their neck out of the shell. Be your own person and stick your neck out of your shell for opportunity and success.

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.

Discoveries Are Found in Stepping of Your Comfort Zone

Motivational Power Quote

Discoveries Are Found in Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone

“Discoveries are often made by not following instructions,

but by going off the main road, by trying the untried.”

Frank Tyger, columnist, humorist,  

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

Discoveries are found in stepping out of your comfort zone . . . . and in trying the untried

Your greatest discoveries are found not in doing what has always been done. They are found in stepping out of your comfort zone of doing what’s been tried and into the untried and having the courage to venture into and try new things.

When you continue to do what has been tried you continue to get more of what you have always gotten. If you want to expand your possibilities you have to seek new opportunities by exploring and trying new things. 

Without trying new things and venturing into the untried there would be no air travel, we would not have the automobile, we would not have explored space, the world would be without television, and we would be without computers.

Without trying the untried there would not innovation or progress we would in caves without fire.

Have the courage to venture into the untried and to try new things. Move forward with a sense of adventure and you will discover new and exciting opportunities.   

Discoveries are found in stepping out of your comfort zone . . . . and trying the untried

Why is Business Like a Wheelbarrow?

Motivational Power Quote

Why is Business Like a Wheelbarrow?

“Business is like a wheelbarrow –

it stands still until someone pushes it.”

Source unknown

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

Why is business like a wheelbarrow?

Unless a wheelbarrow is pushed is doesn’t move. A business that just sits there without forward momentum will begin to wither and rusts from lack of use and the value of the business declines.

When a business is pushed in the right direction it makes progress and moves in the direction of success.

An empty wheelbarrow serves no purpose. It was made to carry a load and to be pushed.  Load your wheelbarrow with the tools and skills to create success and push that wheelbarrow in the right direction everyday.  

Why is business like a wheelbarrow, because are meant to be pushed in order to get the best use from it.

Worrying is Like a Rocking Chair

Motivational Power Quote

Worrying is Like a Rocking Chair

“Worry is like a rocking chair

it gives you something to do

but won’t get you anywhere.”

Author unknown

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

Worry is like a rocking chair

When we’re sitting in a rocking chair we have the allusion that we moving but in reality all we’ll doing is rocking in place. We can rock slower, we can rock faster but at the end of the day we are still in the same place were we started.

Worrying is a lot like sitting in that rocking chair we are moving but at the end of the day we have made no progress.

Worrying is a waste of time and effort and will stymie the progress in resolving the issues.

Take the actions to resolve the issues and as you do worry dissolve and you will find yourself gaining forward momentum.

Worrying is like a rocking chair a lot of motion and no resolution.

There Are No Shortcuts to Success

Motivational Power Quote

There Are No Shortcuts to Success

“There are no shortcuts to

any place worth going.”

Beverly Sills, America’s queen of opera

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


There are no shortcuts to success.


Success is a journey not an expressway; it’s a committed path that takes time and effort to achieve the desired results.


The person that looks for and takes what appears to be a shortcut is destined to repeat the journey many times with little or no progress.


Success is a worthwhile journey; not achieved by means of shortcuts but though commitment and staying the course.
