It’s Takes Personal Courage

It’s Takes Personal Courage  

“There is often in people to whom ‘the worst’ has

happened an almost transcendent freedom, for

 they faces ‘the worst’ and survived it .”

Carol Pearson, Author   

   

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

It’s takes personal courage

Personal courage is having the inner strength . . . . to weather the storms of life.

There will be times that your storms pass quickly . . . . and are soon forgotten. At other times the storms in your lives seem so overwhelming that you question your abilities. You will also question yourself . . . . and if there will be anyway to survive the storm. 

In the dark times in your lives you have to have . . . . the personal courage to weather the storms that you face. You have to stand your ground to step up . . . . and do the best you can in the conditions that you find yourself in.

You may become battered in withstanding the storms of life but as you come out of the other side . . . . you emerge a better and stronger person.

In your persistence’s you overcome your adversities . . . . and grower stronger.

The storms may bend you with its force . . . . but you won’t break . . . . unless you quit. You may get knocked down . . . . but you can   get back up and dust yourself off . . . . and push forward.

It takes the will to win . . . . and it takes personal courage to withstand the storms of life to achieve greater things.

Put All the Excuses Aside

Put All the Excuses Aside

“Put all excuses aside and remember this:

YOU are capable.”

Zig Zigler, author

As I see it . . . . . . .

Put all the excuses aside

You’re capable of doing anything . . . . that you believe that you can do.

When you can think it . . . when you believe that you capable of doing it . . . . when you try . . . . and when you give it your best you’re capable of achieving it.

Success first happens in your thinking . . .  what you believe about yourself you become. What you believe about your abilities will come to pass.

The vision that you have for your future in your thinking will become a self-fulfilling prophecy. What you believe your future to be in your thoughts . . . . will become your reality.

What you believe . . . . will have a big influence what we’re capable of doing.

You are capable and have unlimited potential. To release your potential you have to believe in yourself . . . .  and believe that you’re capable of doing great things.

A person that believes in themselves has unlimited potential . . . . and are capable of changing the direction of their life . . . . and capable of achieving greater and lasting success.

Believe in you heart that your capable of achieving bigger and greater things . . . . and take the actions to make it happen. Have confidence in your actions to push forward . . . . and your opportunities will become unlimited.

Put all the excuses aside . . . . and do what has to be done to make it happen.

When Things Get Tight the Tide Will Turn

“When you get into a tight place and everything goes

against you till it seems you could not hold on a

minute longer, never give up then, for that is just

the place and time that the tide will turn.”

Harriet Beecher Stowe 1811 – 1896, Abolitionist, Author

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

When things get tight the tide will turn

We will encounter times in your life that the things around you become overwhelming. . . . they will feel like an unrelenting tide sweeping into your life. They will seem that out of control and you will not to be able to overcome them.

In moments like those you may feel that it would be far easier to retreat and push back away from your goals and dreams. In reality it may be easier to push back then push forward.

But you will find that by pushing back, things will not improve. What you would find is that you have surrendered your goals and dreams for a false sense of short term comfort.

You will also find success in life is not achieved by surrendering but in standing firm in your resolve to push forward through the challenging times in your life and to remain standing.

Every storm will pass with time. You may not come through the storm without some bumps and bruises, but they will soon heal and you will find ourselves still standing.

What remains important as you whether the storms in your life, is to keep your goals and dreams as your beacon to guide you through the turbulences that you encounter. 

The storms in your life can turn you away from your goals and dreams, with your persistence the tide will turn to your favor. It becomes your choice to remain on course to achieve your goals and dream.

When things get tight the tide will turn . . . . when you make the choice to change it.

Dare to Be a Doer

Motivational Power Quote

Dare to Be a Doer

“It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare;

it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.”

Seneca 4 BC to AD 65, Roman Stoic Philosopher,

Statesman, Dramatist

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

Dare to be a doer  

The doer has the mindset of getting things done . . . . and in producing their desired results.

The person that sits and complaints . . . . is the producer of negative thinking and very little success.

Dare to be a doer . . . . . . . .

The doer will take calculated risks . . . . to achieve greater success.

Doers will experience setbacks and failures on their success journey as a result of stretching themselves . . . . to achieve greater success. They will learn from their setbacks and failures . . . . and they’ll use their experiences to do things better and more effective the next time. They see their setbacks and failures as temporary conditions . . . . and they push forward to go pass them.

The doers in life are a special group on people who . . . . are not content to stand on the sidelines and watch their life go by. They want to get into the game of life . . . . and be an active participant in the game and the outcome.

The doer wants to take control of their lives . . . . and have goals for what they want to achieve . . . . and have a plan of action to ensure that they are successful.

Dare to be a doer . . . . and set the course for a successful life.

You have to Stay in the Game

Motivational Power Quote

You have to Stay in the Game

“Winner lose more than losers. They win and lose more

then lose because they stay in the game.”

Terry Paulson, speaker, author   

 

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

You have to stay in the game

When you goal is to win . . . . you have to stay in the game to achieve your goals and objectives.

When you see a person standing in the winner’s circle of life  . . . . You see the result of what the person has accomplished. What you don’t really see is what it took for that person to achieve that level of success.

You don’t see their commitment and dedication to their career to become the best at what they do. You may not see or relate to the persons struggles, their setbacks, failures and them losing, what you see is their success. 

When a winner gets knocked down they get up and bush themselves off and thy again. A winner realizes that they will stumble, face failure and at times suffer defeats and lose. In order for them to succeed they know you have to stay in the game.

No matter how devastating their setbacks may be  . . . . They won’t quit they stay in the game and push forward. 

They may lose but they have the convictions and believe that they will have another day to win.

Winners believe in themselves and understand that in order to win . . . . There are risks in trying and that they may lose. But they also realize that without trying there is no success or forward progress in their life.

Winners will take the calculated risk in order to win and they will . . . . stay in the game.

Play The Hand That You Are Dealt

Motivational Power Quote

Play The Hand That You Are Dealt

 “Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt

is determined; the way you play it is free will.”

Jawabarial Nehru 1889 – 1954, First Prime Minister of India’s

 

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

Play the hand that you are dealt

When the cards of life are on the table you have to play the hand you where dealt. How you play those cards is a personal choice.

We may not like the cards you’re holding but they are the only cards that you have.  You have to take the cards we have and maximize the way we use your cards.

The way you play them will determine the outcome.

Your cards are the station in life that you were born into and your natural talents. You have to take what you where born with and supplement them, expand them, grow them and maximize everything at your disposal to achieve your destiny.

The way you play the cards of your life is a personal choice. You can fold you have when you come under pressure or you can push forward and play the hand that you are dealt.

Bounce back

Motivational Power Quote

Bounce Back

“Some defeats are only installments to Victory.”

Jacob A. Riis, Danish Journalist   

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

Bounce back

To achieve success it’s becomes essential to use all of our tools in our arsenal to accomplish the desired outcome.

One tool that’s makes all the difference is the ability to learn how to bounce back and comeback from defeats and setbacks.

In the dark moments in our life we can allow our defeats and setbacks control our life and thinking and give up.

Or we can bounce back and push forward.

The winners in life learn how to bounce back. They will look at defeats and setbacks as temporary condition and the price of admission for their success journey. Winners will focus on the solutions and not allow the condition to control their lives. A winner will take control of the condition and make the best of the condition that they find themselves in.

Winners see defeats and setbacks as a learning experience and will grow as a result of their approach to the condition.

Winners are resilient and use all of their tools to bounce back.

Excuses Are Not An Option

Motivational Power Quote

Excuses Are Not An Option

“Ninety-nine percent of failures

come from people who have

the habit of making excuses.”

George Washington Carver, botanist   

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

Excuses are not an option

Excuses will not fuel your success journey. They become an anchor and the weight of that anchor will eventually pull you under.

Excuses won’t solve problems they compound them and make them harder to resolve.

When faced with a challenge look for solutions not excuses.

If you experience a setback or failure find the best way to overcome the condition and push forward.

The success journey is a no excuse zone and excuses are not an option on our success journey.
