Wow…what an amazing video. Please take 5 minutes and watch this video.
Here are a few quotes from the video
“When you get to the point that it hurts too bad, your tired, ready to give up, ready to give in…when you get to this point…you can’t give up!!! You cannot quit during the process!!!”
“Champions keep going when they don’t have anything left in their tank. When you have nothing left…that is when it is ShowTime….when you want this thing as bad as you want to breath…that’s when you find a way.”
Keep moving, stay consistent, do it for your WHY!!!

I have been studying “consistency” this week, and have been amazed at some of things I have been learning. Consistency is such a simple yet profound principle that leads to success in any aspect of our lives.

What are you learning about yourself as you have worked to be consistent this week?

Savor the Adventure!!!

I came across this quote over the weekend and absolutely loved it! What a great reminder to all of us. My challenge today is for each of us to savor the adventure!!!
“There is no doubt that life can be a bumpy ride. But so were those roller coasters you loved as a kid. Savor the adventure. Find excitement in the uncertainty and the constant change. Even let a touch of fear add spice to your life – as you did on that roller coaster.” – Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Why not?

I came across this quote this morning and thought it matched perfectly to what we do each day.
It has been my experience that we often sabotage our dreams and goal before we even start by doubting ourselves, asking why, and wondering if we can really do it.
How powerful would our lives, relationships, and businesses be if we simply dreamed…and asked ourselves “WHY NOT?”
Let’s go out and get our goals. Have a great day!
“You see things and you say, Why? But I dream things that never were and say, WHY NOT?” – George Bernard Shaw

Go for it!!!

“You’re the only one who can make the difference. Whatever your dream is, GO FOR IT.” – Magic Johnson

 I believe these words 100%. We each have the ability to make the difference. If you know what your dream is…then go for it!
What is your dream…and what are you doing today to accomplish it?

Most of you have probably heard of the 80/20 principle, but has anyone heard of the 90/10 principle?
Please take a few minutes and watch the clip below. I learned about this principle several years ago, and it has dramatically changed my life, relationships, and career.
How could applying this principle assist you in your life, relationships, and your career? I would love to hear your thoughts.

Cheerful and Happy…does it work?

“I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition.” – Martha Washington
I am a huge believer in the power of having a positive attitude.  It creates a reaction of positive thoughts, feelings, and actions.
How has having a positive attitude helped you in your life?

Never lose hope

I shared this quote with my wife and daughter this morning.  There are times in our lives when we feel down, discouraged, and scared.  this quote is a great reminder to all of us to have faith and patience…and things will always work out.

“Never give up. Never lose hope.  Always have faith, it allows you to cope.  Trying times will pass as they always do.  Just have patience, your dreams will come true. So put on a smile.  You’ll live through your pain.  Know it will pass and strength you will gain.”

 

Be deaf to negative thoughts

I came across this thought last week.  It is a great reminder to focus on your goal, and not let  negative thoughts distract you.

A frog decided to reach the top of a tree.  All frogs shouted, “its impossible, its impossible…”  Still the frog reaches the top…How?

Because he was Deaf…and he thought…everyone was encouraging him to reach the top.

Lesson: Be deaf to negative thoughts, if your aim is to reach your goal!!!
