When You’re Faced With a Problem

“All it takes is one idea to

solve an impossible problem.”

Robert H. Schuller, author

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

When you’re faced with a problem


Problems come in many shapes and sizes some problems can seem impossible while others appear to be just a bump in the road. No matter the size of the problem they need to be address and resolved.


When you’re faced with what is seems to be a problem of any magnitude look for the most desired solution. Focus your thinking and efforts on resolving the problem and not on what get you into problem.


Focusing on solution to a problem becomes a proactive activity to successfully work through the problem and come up with a workable solution. Spending your time and thinking on the problem is a reactive activity. Focusing your thinking on the past and what was will not solve the program it will move you further away from resolving the program.


Focus on the future and what can be and not on the past of what was.


Review the situation that you find yourself in and determine that best strategies available to you to resolve the problem. Keep an open mind as your thinking about solving the problem. An idea will surface and that idea becomes the basis for resolving the problem.


When you’re faced with a problem focus on the solutions and take the corrective action to resolve the issue.

Do Something About It

Motivational Power Quote

Do Something About It

“Everyone who has ever taken a shower has had an idea.

it’s the person who gets out of the shower,

dries off and does something about it

that makes a difference.”

Nolan Bushnell, American entrepreneur

Founder of Atari and Chuck E. Cheese Pizza

As I see it . . . . . . .

Do something about it

We all are carrying around a great ideas or something that has to be done, it now the time to do something about it.


A good idea in our head without action has very little or no value; an idea where you take action can create a breakthrough moment and change the course of our career. When you have an idea do something about it: bring your idea into the sunlight and allow it to grow and make a difference in your life.

If you are carrying the baggage of things undone around with you, the weight of that baggage will hinder your forward progress. Take what is undone in your life and prioritize them by their order of importance and do something about it.


One by one by there order of importance successfully bring closure to each item on the list until everything on the list has successfully been completed. As you do you will find that as you bring closure to them items new items appear, always keep your list prioritized by there order of importance.


Prioritizing creates an effective time management tool and allows you to focus on what’s most important.


As you go through your day and you are hit with unexpected things, do something about it as they happen in by there order of importance. Make every effort to clean your slate and to nurture your idea and you will find yourself making forward progress.

Let Go of the Old and Out-of-Date Thinking

Motivational Power Quote

Let Go of the Old and Out-of-Date Thinking

“It’s easy to come up with new ideals;

the hard part is letting

go of what worked for you two years ago,

but will soon be out-of-date.”

Roger Von Oech, entrepreneur

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

Let go of the old and out-of-date thinking


The business world has changed. Hanging onto the things that are old and out-of-date is like carrying around an anchor. The weight of the anchor will drag you down and sink your business.


Because something has worked in the past is no assurance that it will work in the future.


Review your business strategies, methods and techniques. Eliminate the old methods that are no longer working effectively for you before they become old and out-of-date and become an obsolete to your success.

Where there is a need make adjustments; make the adjustments to keep them working effectively.


Become a forward thinker and adjust your strategies, methods and techniques to carry you forward in a new business environment.


Just let go of the old and out-of-date thinking. Grasp your new opportunities and turn your opportunities into successes.

Getting What You Want

Motivational Power Quote

Getting What You Want

“The indispensable first step to getting the things you

want out of life is this; decide what you want.”

Ben Stein, actor

 As I see it. . . . . . . .

Getting what you want

Before you can get what you want in life; you first have to decide what you want and then be willing to pay the price of getting it.

The biggest challenges that most people facing in getting what they want is they’re either unsure of what they want or they don’t know what they want. In either case without clearly in what they want they have no direction and no goals.

They become stuck in place without making any forward progress.

 
The first step in getting what you want is to clearly defining what it is that you want. Once you know what you want you can develop a precise plan to achieve the goal of getting what you want.

All forward progress starts with a vision getting what you want starts the same way first you have to what you want and then you have to go after it with passion.

Worrying Kills More People Then Work

Motivational Power Quote

Worrying Kills More People Then Work

“The reason why worry kills

more people then work

is that more people

worry than work.”

Robert Frost, American Poet

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


Worrying kills more people then work


Why?


Far too many people spend their life worrying and not enough time working at resolving to the conditions they encounter.


Worrying will not resolve a problem. Worrying compounds the condition, drains our energy and creates negative thinking which leads to inaction and poor decisions.


Worrying makes the condition worst.


Work at finding solutions to the problem and take the actions to resolve the conditions. As you do you will clear the slate to move forward with a lighter load and carrying less baggage.


The only result that we get from worrying is that it will kill us emotionally and make us an ineffective person.


Worrying kills more people then work. When you’re faced with a condition that needs your attention leave the worrying at the door and step forward to find the solution to the condition and take action to resolve the condition.

The Difference Between Life and the Movies

Motivational Power Quote

The Difference Between Life and the Movies

“The difference between life and the movies

is that a script has to make sense,

and life doesn’t.”

Joseph L. Mankiewicz, director, screenwriter

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


The difference between life and the movies


In the movies we can see the coming attraction and know the story line before we see the movie, in life the story line continually changes.


The movie has a natural progression. Many times our lives seem to have no rhyme or reason. What we have to do is continually adjust to our changing environment and remain focused on our journey and the desired outcome.


We can choose the movies that we want to see, but the script is written and won’t change. In life we can’t control all the things that happen to us. But we can choose how we respond to what happens to us.


In the movies we can buy popcorn that’s handed to us but it’s expensive. At home we can pop our own popcorn. Popping the popcorn takes effort, but having the popcorn is worth the effort.


In real life to enjoy a happy ending we have to have to create our own script, stay on course and work hard to achieve a happy ending.

You are unique a person and within that uniqueness you have the spark of greatness within you. And that greatness represents difference things to difference people, but that greatness is there within you.


As you travel the pathway of your life you will intersect with a special moment and in that moment your life can change and in that moment you have the capacity to change the life of other people.
It that moment we may elect to take a high road to what’s right and in that moment it can change the way people look at you and they can see your true image and character.

You could find your special moment in reaching out to a child and in that moment we can impact that child’s life, much like teachers do in the classroom. A child’s life can be changed in a moment by a caring person and that moment will be relived in the child throughout their life.

In Winston Churchill case he emerged as a leader and as a pillar of strength in Great Britton during their darkest hour and in great adversity.
You will never know when that special moment will enter your life but it will. So many times we will we not know the impact on the moment when it happens.


You where born to achieve greatness and you will have that moment in your life.

Fully Engage Your Career

Motivational Power Quote

Fully Engage Your Career

“We are at our very best, and we are happiest,

when we are fully engaged in work we enjoy on our

journey toward the goal we’ve established for ourselves.

It gives meaning to our time off and comfort to our sleep.

It makes everything else in life so wonderful, so worthwhile.”

Earl Nightingale, author

Fully engage your career


We achieve more when we fully engage what we enjoy doing.


If you enjoy your career and make your career your passion what you do will never feel like work again. Your motivation will soar and your career will move to a higher level. You will have a spring in your step and enjoy your work.


Enjoying your work doesn’t mean that you won’t have bad days and challenges because guest what; you will. When you enjoy what you’re doing you look at your challenges with a difference prospective and you become problem solver.


If you hate what you’re doing your career has peaked and heading down a very slippery slope that will end up in a crash and burn situation.


You will either have to change your thinking and attitude and recommit yourself to your career. Which will take a change of mind set on your part and changing the way you look at your career and refocusing your energies on productive activities?


You may also have to look at you association and evaluate the people who bring a positive influence into your life and those who create a negative environment into the picture.


Eliminate the negative influences in your life and in your association. Connect with positive people, people that will booster your career, a mentor or a coach that will keep you moving in the direction of your goals.


Fully engage your career and eliminate the detractors from your life and you will be on the pathway of a successful career that you enjoy.
