Take Action Went It’s Required

Motivational Power Quote

Take Action Went It’s Required

“Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence.

Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear.

Perhaps the action you take will be successful;

perhaps different action adjustments will have to follow.

But any action is better than no action at all.”

Norman Vincent Peale, author

As I see it . . . . . . .


Take action when it’s required


When action is required, figure out what has to be done, the best way to do it and just do it. Take action


In taking action there are risks but the benefits of taking action far outweighs the risks of indecisiveness and our inaction.


There are times that our actions will not turn out as we planned. In most cases we will hit the target. In some cases will have missed the mark even with giving it our best efforts.


We life in an imperfect world and things will not always turn out the way we planned. In those times we will have to make adjustments or in other cases some thing will have to be done over to product the desired results. Not every action that you take will turn out the way that you have planned but we have the capacity to make mid course correction and to keep trying.


But in reality most of our actions will bring the desired results.


Don’t allow the fear of making an occasional mistake to become a roadblock in your decision making and in taking action.


Have confidence in yourself, in your actions and risk an occasional mistake to achieve your goals. Life is not perfect and no one is right 100% of the time.


Take action when it’s required and take it with confidence.

Intentions + Action = Success

Motivational Power Quote

Intentions + Action = 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 . . . . . . .


Intentions + Action = Success


Intentions get our mind working, gets us thinking. But intentions without action can become a distracter and leads to nowhere. Also carrying a fulfilled intention around with us without taking actions becomes excess baggage that weights us down and slows our progress.


Intentions alone will not move us closer to achieve our goals and can very likely create reverse momentum and move further away from achieving our goals and success.


Intentions + actions will start our engine and get us moving. Point the engine in the right direction and it will move us in the direction of achieving success.


Intentions + Action + Success


An intention with a plan becomes a goal. When we have the intention and put a plan into action we create the opportunity for success.


The intensity of our intentions combined with intense of our action will move us forward in the direction of achieving greater success.


An intention starts as a dream or a hope, when you take action on your intention you create the formula for success. Intentions + Action = Success.

Never Give Up

Motivational Power Quote

Never Give Up

“Don’t give up. Don’t ever give Up.”

Jim Valvano, Basketball Coach

As I see it . . . . . . .


Never give up


Many people who failure never realized how close they were to achieving their goals and gave up.


When you hit a wall on your success journey don’t give up push forward. Lean forward into the head winds of life and push forward through your obstacles.


Give a little extra effort with everything you do, don’t give up and persevere through every challenge and failure until you succeed.


When things become challenging the course of least residents it to say it’s too hard and can’t be done and to give up which becomes the pathway to regret.


The pathway to success may not always be the easiest or the shortest route, but it the pathway to success. To achieve success and happiness is to never give up and the weather the storms in life and to be standing when the storms passes.


To never give up is a test of your faith and your courage. When you need the motivation to push forward, push forward with persistence and the faith to achieve your goals.

The No Excuse Zone

Motivational Power Quote

The No Excuse Zone

“The best job goes to the person

who can get it done

without passing the buck.”

Napoleon Hill, author

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


The no excuse zone


The life that we make for ourselves is a life made through our actions.


We become a mirror image of our actions and people will judge us on our actions and the success of that we achieve, they don’t want excuses.


Our actions will either move us forward and closer to our goals. Or our actions will have a negative affect on us and move us in the opposite direction moving our goals out of our reach.


When things are moving in the wrong direction we have to adjust our thinking and our actions to get us back on track moving in the right direction.


Making excuses compound the situation and makes it worst.


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


Our future success is found in the possible zone where if we can image it we can achieve it.


Live you’re live in the no excuse zone and you will be focused on solutions and productive activities.

Clearing the cobwebs from our thinking and we will find greater productive energy in our thoughts and a clearer mind.


Old outdated thinking becomes baggage and the weight of that baggage will drain our energy and dilute our thinking.

Focus your thinking on productive activities and forward thinking. Remove the cobwebs that clutter and restrict your thinking and your progress.

‘Motivation is a fire from within.

Stephen R. Covey, author

As I see it . . . . . . .


Motivation is the fire that burns within


Motivation is the fire that burns from within us we are the only person that can light and keep it burning.


People will come into our lives and attempt to light the fire of motivation for us. If they are able to create a spark the only way that spark will turn into a flame is when we light the fire of motivation within us.


If a person relies on other person to light the fire of motivation within them and to keep it burning they will find that the spark of motivation will flicker and burn out quickly.


We have the ability to light the spark of motivation within us and to turn the motivation into a passion to reach our goals.


Our motivation will encourage us to do a little more, try a little harder, and see our goals through until we have reached a successful outcome.


Light the fire of your motivation and keep your flame burning bright.

Live Your Life Forward

Motivational Power Quote

Live Your Life Forward

“Often people attempt to live backwards:

they try to have more things, or more money,

in order to do more of what they

want so they will be happier.

The way it actually works is the reverse.

You must first be who you really are,

then do what you love to do,

in order to have what you want.”

Margaret Young, musician

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


Live your life forward


Dream big dreams and turn your dreams into goals and take massive action to turn your goals into a reality.


Dreaming of what can be without taking the steps to fill full your dreams creates a trail of unfilled dreams and lead to bitterness. Dreams that are converted into goals create a purpose in your life and a target to aim for.


Your goals create the purpose to move your life from where it is today to where you want it to be in the future.


Goals are the way to create the vision for your future and a pathway to bring the things into your life that you have dreamed about.


Achieving what you want in your life will require a vision of the future as you want it to be. Clear goals to give your life a sense of purpose and direction. But if we truly want something we have to commit ourselves to achieving the desired outcome and to the hard work to create the results.


Success is not produced in a vacuum and if you want to live a successful life you have to create it.


Live your life forward and you will accumulate the momentum to achieve your dreams and goals.
