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.

Your Self Confidence

Your Self Confidence

“Self confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings.”

Aldous Huxley, English Writer

As I see it . . . . . . .

Your self-confidence

True self-confidence is developed through concentrating on your successes . . . . and putting your failures . . . . setbacks . . . . and negatives in your life behind you.

                                                         

Focusing on the negatives will waste your time . . . .  drain your energy . . . . and provide little or no positive results. Concentrating on your achievements and successes will energize you to see the possibility for your future . . . . And with your future successes you’ll take your self-confidence to a higher level.

Your self-confidence will put a spring into your step and increase your confidence to take on new projects, assignments . . . . and to stretch yourself forward.

Our-self confidence will put the air under your wings . . . .and will lift you to greater heights of success.

Develop your self-confidence . . . . and whole world of possibilities will open up for you.

Success and Inaction Both Come With a Price

 Success and Inaction Both Come With a Price

“We must all suffer from one of two pains; the pain of

discipline or the pain of regret. The difference

is discipline weights ounces while

regret weights tons.”

Jim Rohn 1930 - 2009, American Entrepreneur,

Self-Author and Motivational Speaker

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

Success and inaction both come with a price.

Inaction is making the decision to procrastinate . . . . the price of procrastination is paid over a life time.

Procrastination is making a choice . . . . the choice that is made is the choice of inaction which is to take the action is choosing not to act. The price of inaction is enormous and is carried forward in the form of pain in living a life of regret for the things that we did not do and in the lost opportunities.

Taking action to succeed . . . . takes self-confidence in your decision making and in your abilities. You also have to have the mental discipline to take calculated risks . . . . and to make choices.

In taking action some of your choice will create breakthrough opportunities in your life. While others may have very little impact on your success journey, and there will be those that you would like to forget. 

Failing to take action subordinates the action to someone else to make the decision for you. You will lose the ability to make your own choices and to choose your actions.

When it’s time to take action . . . . you have to step up . . . . and take the best actions possible in the conditions that we find yourself in.

                 

The pain of regret for your inaction is carried forward . . . . and can become emotionally draining.

The discipline of making choices and taking action has a price. But there is peace of mind that you’re in control of your choices . . . . your actions . . . . and your future.

Success and inaction both come with a price . . . . you pay for your success in advance. You paid for your inaction over a life time.

Releasing Your Potential is a Choice

Releasing Your Potential  is a Choice

“The potential of the average person is like a huge ocean

un-sailed, a new continent unexplored,  a world of

possibilities waiting to be released and

channeled toward some great good.”

Brian Tracy, Self-Help Author, Motivational Speaker   

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

Releasing your potential is a choice

No matter what status you reach in your life . . . . you all have potential more in you waiting to be released. It there under the surface and sometimes you have to pry it loose to release it . . . . but it’s there waiting to be released.

Many times you can feel your potential trying to come out. But in order to release it you would have to step out of your comfort zone to being it to the surface and release it. So it becomes a choice to embrace the status quo in your life to continue on the same path. Or to have the courage to step outside of your comfort zone . . . . to release your potential and to broaden your view of your world.

At other times you sense that you can do more then we’re doing. Or to be more then you are today . . . . but at that very moment you pull back. Why?  At that moment your sub-conscious is kicking in and is telling you . . . . you that you can’t do it . . . . or not to try.

When this type of thinking occurs your self-limiting beliefs are surfacing in your thoughts and becoming the controlling thoughts in your mind. Those thoughts create a mental roadblock in your progress of releasing your full potential.

To get pass this road block you have to have self-confidence in yourself. Have confidence in your abilities . . . . and believe in what you can do. You have to remove your self-limiting beliefs and replace the thoughts . . . . and think in terms of unlimited possibilities.

You live in a world of possibilities . . . . and you have the potential to soar with the eagles when you believe you can.

What you do with your potential is a personal choice. You can allow your potential to remain within you never seeing a day of sunshine. Or you can release your potential . . . . and bring it into the sunlight and to let our potential grow. We will find that when we let our potential grow it has unlimited possibilities.

When you release your potential you will see that there is a whole new world of opportunities awaiting you.

Releasing your potential is a choice . . . .

The Bend In The Road

Motivational Power Quote

The Bend In The Road

“A bend in the road is not the end of the road . . . .

unless you fail to make the turn.”

Unknown    

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

The bend in the road . . . .  

Our life’s journey is not an expressway nor is it a straight road. There are many twists, turns and bends in the road to navigate. To keep your life moving in the right direction you will have to . . . . adjust to the condition that we encounter along the way.

Over a life time you will come to many bends in the road, what you do in those moments will shape your future. As you approach those bends in the road you may not always see what’s around the bend and you will have to . . . . rely on your faith to do the right thing in moving forward.

At other times the bend is slight and you can see what’s around the bend very quickly.

When you approach a bend in the road, approach it with the self-confidence. Believe that you can navigate it successfully and meet the challenges with the convection that you’re in control of your future. 

When you get to the bend in the road . . . . make the turn with the belief that you’re in control of the condition and the outcome.
