Your Attitude . . . . Your Choice

Your Attitude . . . . Your Choice

“The only disability in life is a bad attitude.”

Scott Hamilton, Olympic Gold Medalist  

   

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

Your attitude . . . . Your choice

A person’s attitude will allow them to scale the highest of mountains . . . . Or to walk in the depth of a rut. What they choose to do is a personal choice. Where they end up in life is a result of their attitude and their choices.

People suffer massive setbacks and failure . . . . and they choose to get up and dust themselves off get back in the game and try again. They have made of choice of not giving up. They have made the choice to push forward past their obstacles.

It’s not a question if you will suffer through setbacks and failure. It a question of how often . . . . and how nasty the setbacks and failure are.

You may not be able to control the outer conditions in your life . . . . but you can control the internal condition of your thinking . . . . your attitude . . . . and your choices.

In a changing and challenging business environment you can’t control the world . . . . but we can control your attitude . . . . and how you respond to the world around you. In having a positive attitude . . . . you make far better choices . . . . As a result you can focus your efforts on making forward progress.

Some of your days your progress will be measured in inches . . . . and on other days it will be measured in feet. It’s your attitude that keeps you pushing forward through your obstacles with the belief that you will succeed and reach your objectives. 

Your attitude becomes the thin slice of the difference between quitting in the face of obstacles . . . . in pushing forward . . . .  and success or failure.

Your attitude . . . . Your choice . . . . and your results are a mirror image of your attitude and your choices.

You Can Knock Me Down But I Never Give up

You Can Knock Me Down But I Will Never Give Up

“It’s hard to beat a person who never gives up.”

 Babe Ruth, Baseball Hall of Fame

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

You can knock me down but I will never give up

The hardest person in the world to beat . . . . is the person who refuses to give up.

When you study the top achievers they all share one common attribute; the attribute of persistence, they may have to adjust . . . . but they never give up.  

They will not give up under pressure or when they are facing great obstacles. They will hang in just a little longer in order to achieve their objectives.

When the going gets rough they refuse to give up . . . . they just keep pushing forward to achieve their goals.

No matter how many challenges you face. No matter how many times you get knocked down don’t give up . . . . Keep getting up and try again and again until you succeed.

When you’re knocked down . . . .  refuse to stay down . . . .  Get up and don’t give up.

There motto is you can knock me down but I will never give up.

What You Can Learn From Children

What You Can Learn From Children

“If children have the ability to ignore all odd and

percentages, then maybe we can all learn from

them. When you think about it, what others

choices is there but hope? we have two

options, medically and emotionally;

give up or fight like hell.”

Lance Armstrong, Cycling Champion  

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

What you can learn from children

When a child wants to learn how to ride a bike they go out and try. They fall down . . . . and they get up . . . .and get back on the bike . . . . and they repeat that process until they learn how to ride a bike.

Children learn how . . . . to get up after the fall.

A child wasn’t studying the odds of successfully riding the bike before they get on the bike for the first time. They just knew that they could ride the bike and they would . . . . So they did.

As a child you lived in a world of possibilities . . . and hope. You need to reactivate your inner child of wonderment . . . .and your creativity. As you do your world becomes one of unlimited possibilities.  

See your possibilities . . . . and then go out there and fight like hell to achieve them.

What you can learn from children is that if they imagine it they can find a way to achieve it.

Trying Works Wonders

Trying Works Wonders

“You may be whatever you resolve to be – determine to

be something in the world and you will be something.

‘I cannot,’ never accomplished anything.

 ‘I will try’ has worked wonders.”

J. Hawes, U.S. Representative       

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

Trying works wonders

You can when you believe in yourself.

You will accomplish your goals when you resolve yourself to take the actions that are necessary to turn your beliefs and goals into a reality and successes.

When you try your actions work wonders.

The moment that you begin to believe in yourself and try . . . . everything changes for the better and everything becomes possible.

You literally will amaze yourself at your results when you commit yourself to try . . . . and try again until you succeed. You will find that things become within your reach that once appeared out of your grasp.

Those doors open for you that once seemed to be closed to you.

Trying works wonders is taking the path of possibilities. Sitting and waiting is the path of the status quo and getting more of what we have been getting.

What makes the difference is the act of trying.

You can wait for success to find you . . . . or you can be proactive and go out and create your own success. The attitude I will keep trying will drive you to push a little longer . . . .  a little harder and stick what your doing until it’s achieved.

Trying works wonders . . . . Believe that you can do it . . . . and you will find that trying works wonders in your life.

You Learn by Trying

You Learn by Trying

“We learn to walk by stumbling.”

Bulgarian Proverb  

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

You learn by trying

All of life is a series of lessons . . . .

You learn to walk by stumbling . . . . and you learn to regain your balance after you stumble.

You learn to run by walking, and you learn that you can get someplace faster by running then by walking.

You learn to get up after we fall . . . . and you learn that many people have fallen before you and have learned to get up and try again.

Life is a series of lessons, some easy to grasp . . . . and others can be very painful. As you learn that lessons you create the wisdom to move forward with new and beneficial knowledge.

Many of the lessons that you learn come from stretching yourself outside of your comfort zone and reaching for the brass ring of success.

If you are willing to look at the lessons as a learning experience, you will grow as a person and expand your horizons to achieve greater success.

Life is a series of lessons . . . . and one of the most important lessons you will is . . . . You Learn by Trying. With an open mind and a positive attitude you will find a way to take those lessons and use them as fuel for your  success journey.

I Rather Be Me

Motivational Power Quote

I Rather Be Me

“I’d rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are;

because a could be is a maybe who reached for a star.

I’d rather be a has been than a might

have-been has been, but a has an are.”

Milton Berle 1908 - 2002, American Comedian    

 

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

I rather be me

I rather be a person that has tried and not yet succeeded then a person that did not try.

I rather be a person that has been knocked down as a result of my efforts then a person that did not take the risk to succeed.  I can always get up and try again.

I would rather stretch and reach for the stars and come up with just hand full of stars rather then not have stretched, but I can always stretch for another hand full of stars.

I would rather live my life and to continue to reach and try then to listen to other people tell me what I can’t do.

Live your life stretching for your goals and reaching for the stars both are there for you if you’re willing to reach and try.

I rather be me with a vision and a dream and reach for them until I achieve them.

Out of all the people I could be I rather be me.

Never Fail to Try

   Motivational Power Quote

 

Never Fail to Try

“To try and fail is at least to learn.

To fail to try is to suffer the loss

Of what might have been.”

Benjamin Franklin, American Statesmen

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


Never fail to try.


Don’t lose what might be, never fail to try.


When we try; make an unconditional commitment to succeed in our efforts and in our activities.


There will be times that the results will be not we planned on. But we tried and gave it our best and had a learning experience. With those learning experiences we can try again.


Failure doesn’t come in the trying; true failure is result of the lack of effort and not trying. When we don’t try we lose before we start.


When we try we discover what might be.


Never fail to try and in your trying you will change your future.

Success Is Not An Expressway

Motivational Power Quote

Success Is Not An Expressway

“If at first you don’t succeed

your running about average.”

M.A. Alderson, writer

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


Success is not an expressway


Success goes to those who are persistence and is attracted through our consistent activities. Success doesn’t have a time table and is the result of steady sustained efforts reinforced with a commitment to succeed.


Have an unwavering commitment to your success and if you don’t succeed at first, continue to try and try again and remain focused on your goals until they have been achieved.

Try, Try and Try Again

Motivational Power Quote


Try, Try and Try Again


“You may be disappointed
if you fail,
but you are doomed
if you don’t try.”
Beverly Sills, American Opera Soprano


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Try, try and try again.

Many of the most successful people have experienced failure on their success journey which leads them to disappointment. But they did not quit they regrouped, adjusted, and moved forward with passion.

When we experience failure we are confronted with a choice. Do we stop trying or do we continue our success journey and overcome the failure?

The successful people throughout history have elected to continue and move on passed their failures.

The reason that we read about the successful people is because they made the extra effort to try again and succeeded in the face of adversity, while the others passed into history unnoticed because they stopped trying and were doomed to live in their failures.

When faced with failure pick yourself up and bush yourself off and continue to try.
