We First Have to Conquer Ourselves to Achieve Success


“It is not the mountain we conquer,
but ourselves.”
Sir Edmund Hillary, first climber to reach
the summit of Mt. Everest


As I see it. . . . . . . .
We first have to conquer ourselves to achieve success.

In conquering ourselves; it requires us to take stock of who we are. Where do we stand today and what direction do we want our life to take us?

Develop a clear vision for your life as you want it to be. Take control of your life and the personal responsibility for your actions and your outcomes.

Much like climbing a mountain, our life requires a plan with a purpose. Commit to your purpose and be willing to adjust with the changing conditions.

Have the mental toughness to see your journey through to a successful outcome.

Believe in yourself and have the confidence that you will reach the summit.

Live Your Own Life

If There’s a Problem What’s the Solution?

Motivational Power Quote


If There’s a Problem What’s the Solution?


“The problem is not that there are problems.
The problem is expecting other wise
and thinking that having problems is a problem.”
Theodore Rubin


As I see it. . . . . . . .
If there’s a problem what’s the solution?

When we concentrate on the problem; we are looking in the wrong direction. We are looking inward at the problem not for resolution.

When faced with a problem look for the solutions, look to turn the problem into an opportunity.

We all will face problems in our lives; in looking for solutions we will find our strength in solving our problems, staying strong and moving forward.
