Your Intentions + Your Actions = Your Success

Your Intentions + Your Actions = Your Success

“You cannot change anything in your life with intention

alone, which can become a watered-down, occasional

hope that you’ll get to tomorrow.

Intention with action is unless.”

Caroline Myss, Author

As I see it . . . . . . .

Your intentions + Your actions = Your success

Intentions get your mind working . . .  gets you thinking. But intentions without action can become a distraction . . . . and leads to nowhere. Also carrying unfulfilled intentions around with you without taking action becomes excess baggage that weights you down and slows your forward progress.

Intentions alone will not move you closer to achieve your goals . . . . and can very likely create reverse momentum that moves further away from achieving your goals or fulfilling your potential.

Your intentions + your actions will start your engine . . . . and get you moving. Point the engine in the right directions . . . . and it will move you in the direction of achieving goals.

Your intentions + Your actions = Your success

An intention with a plan becomes a goal. When you have the intention . . . . and put a plan into action you create the opportunities for greater success.

The intensity of your intentions combined with the intensity of your actions will move you forward in the direction of achieving greater success.  

An intention starts as a dream . . . . or a hope. When you take action on your intentions . . . . you create the formula for success. Your intentions + Your actions = Your success.

Living in The No Excuse Zone

Living in The No Excuse Zone

“The best job goes to the person who can get it done

without passing the buck.”

Napoleon Hill 1883 -1970, American Author,

Motivational Speaker  

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

Living in the no excuse zone

The life that you make for yourself . . . . is a life that you made through your actions.

You become a mirror image of your actions. People will judge you by your actions . . . . and the results of what you achieve. People want action . . . . and results . . . . they don’t want excuses.

Your actions will either move you forward . . . . and closer to achieving your goals. Or your actions will have a negative effect on you. . . . and move you in the opposite direction,  moving your goals out of your reach.

When things are moving in the wrong direction you have to reverse the slide. Adjust your activities . . . . your thinking . . . . and your actions to get you back on the right track and moving in the right direction.

You are either going in the right direction moving your closer to achieving your goals . . . . or in the wrong direction taking farther away from success.

Operating in neutral gives you a false sense of security because there is no neutral on the success journey. When you’re in neutral you’re not holding steady or moving forward at a slower pace. In reality operating in neutral creates a backwards slid that will accelerate . . . . and you will move away from success at an accelerated pace.

Making excuses about a condition compounds the situation . . . . and makes it worst . . . . and increasingly more difficult to deal with. 

Referrals . . . . new business . . . . opportunities . . . . and success go to the person that has demonstrated their value . . . . and have created the reputation through their actions.

Your future success is found in the possible zone . . . . where if you can imagine it you can achieve it.

Live you’re live through positive actions . . . . and live your life in the no excuse zone. Live your life . . . . and focus on solutions and productive activities.

Lasting success is found in . . . . living in the no excuse zone.

Your Actions Will Speak for You

Your Actions Will Speak for You

“A superior man acts before he speaks, and afterward

Politician and Philosopher

As I see it . . . . . . .

Your actions will speak for your

For every action that you take, there will be an equal reaction . . . . and an element of risk.

The cost of success comes in your willingness to take action . . . . To invest your time . . . . your resources . . . . your energy . . . . and take a calculated risk in order to succeed.

Have the courage of your convictions . . . . and take the actions that will move you closer to achieving your goals.

Conversely remaining in your comfort zone that result in inaction has greater risks with a higher probability of creating a massive failure then taking a calculated risk through your actions.

The cost of success is in your planning . . . . taking action . . . . and accepting the possibility of a calculated risk.

Your actions will speak for you . . . . let it be one that your customers speak for you.

Take Responsibility

Take Responsibility

“You can’t escape the responsibility of

tomorrow by evading it today.”

Abraham Lincoln 1809 - 1865, 16^th President

of the United States

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

Take responsibility

You can try . . . . but when it comes right down to it . . . . You can’t escape responsibility

Taking responsibility for your life . . . . and for the results that you accomplish is the foundation for success and achievement. Make the choice to take responsibility for today and every day of your life to achieve your goals and for greater success in your life.

When you take personal responsibility . . . . You take responsibility for the use of your time your activities and your results.

Taking responsibility give you the control of the path that your success journey takes for your life.  You’ll  control your success journey and the control of your outcome.

If you don’t take responsibility for your life and your results some else will take the responsibility . . . . and take control your life.

Take responsibility for your actions . . . . and they will return to you in the same way you send them out.

Should You Just Wait

 Should You Just Wait

What if Columbus had been told, “Chris, baby, don’t go now.

Wait until we’ve solved our number-one priorities - - war,

and famine; poverty and crime; pollution and disease;

illiteracy and racial hatred….”?

Bill Gates, founder of Apple Computer

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

Should you just wait?

There is no just the right time to start.

There is always a reason that you can convince yourself that you should delay starting.

We can talk yourself into constantly delaying your actions.

The best time to start is now.

The best action that we can take is the one that moves us in the direction of our objectives

Don’t delay . . . . Do it now . . . . Take action.

Should you just wait? If you wait you will find that the world will pass us by and opportunities will be lost. Step up . . . . and do it now.

Your Faith is Strength

Your Faith is Strength

“The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith, and the

beginning of true faith is the end of anxiety.”

George E. Mueller, Associate Administrator of the

NASA Manned Space Flight

As I see it . . . . . . .

Your faith is strength

Faith will give you the confidence to create bold goals . . .  and to pursue them with determination to achieve them.

Your faith will be the self-assurance to try . . . . and to pick yourself up after a setback to push forward and to try again.

With faith you have a deep rooted conviction in what you’re doing. You will go about your day with a positive expectation for your actions and support your expectations with the hard work that’s required to create successful results.

Here’s the key . . . . Your faith is your strength.

Faith doesn’t mean that you won’t have stress in your life . . . . or that you won’t have setbacks . . . . because everyone does.

With faith in your life you have confidence in your actions . . . . and positive expectations for your life. When you encounter obstacles and setback you will focus on solutions and overcoming them which will greatly reduce the stress and anxiety in your life.

Your faith is strength . . . . with the strength of faith in your life you are focused forward to create successful results and not looking over your shoulders to what’s in the past and what was.

You Are . . . .

You Are . . . .

“You are what you think.

You are what you go for.

You are what you do.”

Bob Richards, Olympic Gold Medal Winner

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

You are . . . .

You are the person in your thoughts. How and what you think about yourself becomes the foundation for who you become. Your mind is a powerful computer and how you think programs the computer of your mind and will determine who you are.

You can program your mind with positive thoughts and aspirations that will create the programming . . . . for a positive direction for your life.

You are who you believe you are. In programming your mind you create the expectations for what you will accomplish and the level of success that you will achieve.

You first put yourself in the winner’s circle of life in your thought . . . . and over time you act out those thought until you are standing in the winner’s circle.

You will become what you do. To get into the winner’s circle you have commit yourself to the activities that will support your vision of success. Those activities are not a one time endeavor there is a commitment in time, consistency of effort and excellence . . . . to reach the winner’s circle.

You will become what strive to be. What you strive to become is a subconscious goal. Your beliefs, your thinking and our actions all will become focused on your goals . . . . and you will find yourself moving in that direction of your goals.  

You are who we believe you are.

You are . . . . Your beliefs . . . . your thinking . . . . and your actions all will become focused on your goals . . . . and you will find yourself moving in that direction and becoming that person

Your Confidence Comes to the Surface

Your Confidence Comes to the Surface

“Experience tells you what to do: confidence allows

Stan Smith, Professional Tennis Player   

   

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

Your confidence comes to the surface

When the chips are down and your back is to the wall your confidence comes to the surface. How you respond to challenging situations will be a direct reflection of the level of confidence that you have in yourself.

Having confidence in yourself will give you the confidence in your decision making, acting with confidence . . . . and in finding successful solutions.

You will draw on your past experiences to guild you . . . . and you will step up to a challenging situation with your emotions under control. You will have the confidence that you will make good decisions . . . . and that you will act in accordance to your beliefs.

Your confidence will show in the way you carry yourself . . . . and in your actions. It will also show in the way that you interact with people.

You will also find that when you have confidence in yourself and you reflect that confidence in your actions, people will respect you. That respect will carry over every aspect of your life.

Your confidence comes to the surface . . . . and when you show a high level of confidence in yourself people will reflect the same level of confidence in you.

A Life Lived With Integrity

A Life Lived With Integrity

“A life lived with integrity-even if it lacks the trappings of

fame and fortune is a shining star in whose light

others may follow in the years to come.”

Denis Waitley, Self-Help Author and Speaker

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

A life lived with integrity

Integrity is the foundation for who a person becomes.

You can’t buy integrity it’s earned as a result of the way you carry yourself throughout your life and in your actions.

Having integrity won’t guarantee your success . . . . But without integrity there will be no lasting success.

Ones integrity will set the person apart from the crowd.  A person with integrity will stand above the crowed masses and standout. They will be seen as a person that can be counted on . . . . and someone that will deliver on their promises.

A life lived with integrity and you’ll live a life of honor and one that you can look back on with pride. Integrity is not a shortcut to success . . . . but one of continued growth and achievement.

A life lived with integrity . . . . is to live a life of the best is yet to come.

Actions Speak Louder Than Your Words

Motivational Power Quote

Actions Speak Louder Than Your Words

“A thousand words will not leave so deep an

impression as one deed.”

Henrik Ibsen, 19^th century Norwegian Playwright

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

Actions speak louder than your words

You can talk up a storm . . . . but it’s your actions that speak louder than your words.

When you make a commitment to people they will expect you to keep your word . . . . and horror your commitment.  You will be judged by the fact that you either have kept your word . . . . or you did not.

Once we set the expectation for an action by giving your word people will expect you to keep your word . . . . and do what you said you would do. They except action . . . . and will not except excuses as an option.

Once you give your word it becomes a promise.

No matter what station you hold in life you will be held . . . . to the standard of keeping your word.

Over a lifetime people will judge you . . . . by your actions being in harmony with your words.

Actions speak louder than your words. Your life and success will be measured . . . . by what you have done not by what you said.

The Way You See Things is Through Your Attitude 

“We don’t see things the way they are.

The way you see things is through your attitude

. . . . of the perspective of who you are.  

You have to condition your mind to think . . . . and see things though your attitude. How you think and see your world . . . . is a direct reflection of that attitude.

If you want to change your world and what you see  you have to change or attitude. A change of attitude can create a paradigm shift in your thinking . . . . your actions and our results.

The Human Spirit Will Prevail

Motivational Power Quote

The Human Spirit Will Prevail

“You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even

destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.”

Mahatma Gandhi 1883 - 1944, political & spiritual

Leader of India  

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

The human spirit will prevail  

The only thing that can stop you in your life’s pursuits is when you lose the will to succeed.

You have it within you to withstand any challenge that you’re presented with and succeed. That will to succeed is within your human spirit to prevail in any circumstances that you encounter. That will is our strength of character and determination to remain focused and succeed.

No matter what the circumstances are, you have to stay strong and focus on the solutions . . . . to keep moving forward and not get trapped in the problem or living in the past.

Don’t allow the issues to obscure your thinking or the people distract you from your focus of resolving the circumstances.

The human spirit to prevail is within you. Keep the flame burning brightly in your spirit and let your actions speak for you.

Your spirit and strength of mind will create an unstoppable force in your life to . . . . where the possibilities become unlimited.

The human spirit will prevail . . . . when you fully release it.

It Takes Courage to Do What’s Right

Motivational Power Quote

It Courage to Do What’s Right

“Every time I’ve done something that doesn’t feel right,

it’s ended up not being right.”

 Mario Cuomo, former Governor of New York

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

It takes courage to do what’s right

Doing what’s right is more important than doing what’s politically correct. Overtime, people will judge you by your actions and your character.

Your words will have an impact when there spoken and in time fade away, you will be remembered by your actions and doing what’s right.

It takes courage to do what’s right because there will be times that you will feel like we’re standing alone and you’re becoming a target as a result of your actions. But you’ll find that by having the strength to do the right thing you will gain support for your actions of doing what’s right.

Many times it will appear the easy way out of a challenging situation is to what politically correct or what others think you should do. But if in your heart you feel that it’s not the right thing to do; you’re right. Follow your heart and do the right thing.

When you do what’s right you develop your character. People will judge you as a person that can be trusted and you will be recognized as a person of character.

It takes courage to what’s right . . . . When you do what’s right your doing the right thing.
