Time Doesn’t Change Things…We Do

Motivational Power Quote

Time Doesn’t Change Things…We Do

“They say that time changes things,

but you actually have to change them yourself.”

Andy Warhol, an American artist

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


Time doesn’t change things . . . we do


The things in our life stay the same until we take the steps to change them. Things may evolve without our input.


If we’re not happy with the conditions in our lives there is on one person that can change them and we look that person in the eye everyday in a mirror and that person is us.


When it comes to change we are responsible for the change that we want to see. If we want change we have to take the actions that will bring about the change we want to see.


Time doesn’t change things . . . we do.

Sacrifice Today To Be What You Can Be Tomorrow

Motivational Power Quote

Sacrifice Today To Be What You Can Be Tomorrow

“Happiness can be defined, in part at least,

as the fruit of the desire and ability

to sacrifice what you want now

for what we want eventually.”

Stephen R. Covey, author and speaker

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


Sacrifice today to be what you can be tomorrow


Lay the ground work for your future. Sacrifice the quick fixes of today and lay a solid foundation for your future success.


Quick fixes are normally a short term fix at best and will not create lasting momentum or success. Most quick fixes require a do over and there will be misplaced energy creating a strain on our resources including a time drain.


Go for the gold and long term results. Sacrifice the quick fixes of today and strive for excellences in your days and in your efforts to create the long view for a successful future.


There is a great sense of satisfaction in pursuing your goals and in successfully achieving your goals and objectives.


Sacrifice today to be what you can be tomorrow commitment yourself to your success journey not quick fixes. Invest your time, effort and energy doing what it will take to achieve the desired outcome.

Lessons From Our Experiences

Motivational Power Quote

Lessons From Our Experiences

“Experience is a hard teacher

because she gives the test first,

the lesson afterwards.”

Vernon Law, former major league baseball player

As I see it . . . . . . .

Lessons from our experiences

There are lessons in our experiences. We can choose to learn the lessons from those experiences or we can choose to turn a blind eye to the experiences and be doomed to repeat them.

When we choose to learn the lessons from our experiences no matter if the experience as been positive or negative we walk away from the experience as a better and smarter person.

Our experience becomes the teacher and the lessons are learned after the fact.

Life can deal us some very challenging situations and the experiences can be very hard at the time. Those experiences can form valuable lessons for the future to build our confidence as a decision maker.

The lessons from our experiences can become a spring broad into the future. Using the lessons our experiences we create a road map for our success journey on what to do and what to avoid.

Don’t Allow Procrastination Stand Between You and Success

Motivational Power Quote

Don’t Allow Procrastination Stand Between You and Success

“Everything you could have been,

all the accolades you could have won

and all the achievements that have

been nagging at your mind until now,

didn’t happen for one reason only

you procrastinated.”

Nisandeh Neta, author, speaker

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


Don’t allow procrastination stand between you and success


Procrastination is a roadblock of the mind.


Procrastination can manifest itself in many areas of our lives to where we put off what has to be done today to some unspecified time in the future that never comes.


We convince ourselves that we will do it tomorrow but when tomorrow comes, we defer it until tomorrow.


The more we drag our feet the heavier the weight of our procrastination becomes until the shear weight of our procrastination suppresses our motivation and forward progress.


Think about procrastination as a brick wall in our mind. When we reach that wall our mind tells us that we can’t scale the wall and that we are better off on trying another day. When the day comes the wall looks enormous and we don’t make an effect to climb it.


Procrastination doesn’t make things easier or better, procrastination makes things worst.


Procrastination is a road block of the mind and to successfully navigate the roadblock we have to change our mind set and our thinking to become solution orientated. When you encounter a roadblock, don’t think about giving in to procrastinating look for the best solution to resolve the situation. Take the actions that will remove the roadblocks and resume your success journey.

Don’t become distracted by what others tell you, you can’t do.


Believe in yourself and your abilities. Create the vision in your mind of your desired outcomes of your objectives as if it has already been accomplished them. To ensure your desired outcome take massive actions to accomplish your objectives.


There are times that we will be challenged to do things which we did not think we could do. At that moment in time we have to believe in our self and stretch our self to do them.


The difference between achieving you’re desired outcome and missing your target is your personal belief system.


Believe in yourself and what you can do and then do them.

Turning the Good Into the Exceptional

Motivational Power Quote

Turning the Good Into the Exceptional

“The task of the excellent teacher is to stimulate

apparently ordinary people to unusual effort.

The tough problem is not to the identifying winners:

it is in making winners out o ordinary people.”

K. Patricia Cross, scholar

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


Turning the good into the exceptional


There will be times in our life that a person enters it that has the capacity to have a positive impact on our lives and future. That person brings with them their life experiences and knowledge and is willing to share their expertise with us.


We can open our mind and become receptive to listening to the information and drawing on the person knowledge to enhance our life or we can elect to ignore them.


Turning the good into the exceptional is taking our current level of expertise and moving it to the next level. We have to willing to open our mind to except new information and concepts. Be willing to sharpen our existing skills and to apply new techniques and strategies to become exceptional.


A thin slice of difference between the good and the exceptional is in stepping out of our comfort zone of doing what’s always been done. And stepping into the possible zone of stretching our minds to acquire additional knowledge and applying that new knowledge in a positive fashion to become better and grow to become exceptional.


Most people start their success journey to be good at what they do in order to achieve their goals. They are committed to achieve success and will work hard to reach their goals.


The person that’s passionate about their life and career are life long learners, and the will apply their knowledge and skills to succeed. They will continually push forward and move closer to their goals. That person will find that they are turning the good into the exceptional and as a result they will reap the benefits of the harvest of the efforts and journey.
