Step Out of the Darkness and Into the Light

Motivational Power Quote

Step Out of the Darkness and Into the Light

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light not our darkness that, the most frighten us.”

Marianne Williamson, author, international lecturer, spiritual activist

As I see it . . . . . . .

Step out of the darkness and into the light

You are a powerful person and you have unlimited potential within you waiting to be released. You have the switch to turn on the power and to bring it to the surface.

Embrace the power that is within you and release it for the world to see.

Never fear to change the person that you are for the person that you can be. It will take a leap of faith on your part to let go of the status quo and turn on your personal power but once you do your world will change and change for the better.

Sometime it will take a friend or a mentor to draw you out to release the power and bring you into the light. Find the person that will booster you and encourage you forward.

Step out of the darkness and into the light and that light will show you the way to brighten your future.

Go Into the Future With Boldness

Motivational Power Quote

Go Into the Future With Boldness

“Neither wise man nor a brave man lies down on the

tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.”

Dwight D. Eisenhower 1890 – 1969, 34^th President of the United States

As I see it . . . . . . .

Go into the future with boldness

Step into the future with a sense of confidence in yourself and with boldness in your actions.

The future belongs to those that will step into the future and grasp the opportunities. The bold will prevail and timid will be passed by.

The future will not wait for us to catch up, it moving in front of us and all we have to do is to move in that direction and grasp the future and the opportunities it offers.

The future is not a spectator sport; it requires being proactive and getting involved in shaping our destiny and in who we become.

Go into the future with boldness and the self assurance that you achieve greater success, fill full your dreams and do everything within your power to make it a reality.

Choose the People you Associate With Carefully

Motivational Power Quote

Choose the People you Associate With Carefully

“Be careful the environment you choose for it will shape you;

be careful the friends you choose for you will become like them.”

W. Clement Stone 1902 – 2002, businessman, self-help author

As I see it . . . . . . .

Choose the people you associate with carefully

Perception is reality and people will judge you by the people that you associate with.

Your association can become a springboard to greater recognition and opportunity or guilt by association.

It may not be fair but people will judge you by the people that you are seen with. From that observation they will make a decision if they will associate or do business with you.

Choose your associates carefully for they will impact your personal life and your business success.

Choose people that you will be proud to be seen with and introduce to your sphere of influence

Over time you will take on the mannerism of the people that you have chosen to associate with.

Choose the people you associate with carefully. Choose people that reflect your values and that you would most like to be like.

Bring Forth the Best in You

Motivational Power Quote

Bring Forth the Best in You

“Live daringly, boldly, fearlessly.

Taste the relish to be found in competition

in having put forth best within you.”

Henry J. Kaiser 1882 – 1967, American Industrialist

As I see it . . . . . . .

Bring forth the best in you

You will bring out the best in yourself on the field of play and in the competition that it brings into our life.

When you’re facing strong competition you can choose to cave in to it, or you can look the competition in the eye and say to yourself “I will prevail, I will beat you and I will win”.

The competition may be strong and when it is, your will has to be stronger than the competition will to prevail.

It’s very hard to beat a person that’s determined to succeed.

The person that has the sheer will to succeed can turn it into a powerful and unstoppable force. It can become so strong that it will withstand and breakdown the obstacles you face.

Being forth the best in you is having the will to succeed. Many times the sheer will to succeed is the unstoppable force that will put you into the winners circle of life.

Time Waits For No One

Motivational Power Quote

Time Waits For No One

“Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and

enjoy every moment of it.

No idleness, no laziness, no procrastination; never put

off till tomorrow what you can do to-day .”

Lord Chesterfield 1694 -1773, British Statesman

 

As I see it . . . . . . .

Time waits for no one

When we were children time moved slowly.

It seemed like our birthday took forever to come around. It felt like Christmas would take an eternity to be here.

Next Saturday took forever to get here and summer vacation was a life time away.

Well weren’t children any longer and our birthdays seem to zip by like mile markers on a highway and we continually asking ourselves were did the time go?

Time waits for no one . . . . And our time is what we make of it.

Treat the moments in your life as a perishable resource one that only brings value to your life when you bring value into the moments of your life.  

The moments in your life become a direct reflection of the way you use those moments. What you do in those moments creates the value in your life.

Use your moments for productive purposes and your life becomes productive. Waste your time and you’ll be wasting your life.

Time waits for on one and as what we sod we will reap.

Success Starts With a Spark

Success start with a spark

One’s success starts with a little spark, a thought, with an inspiration of what our life can be.  That spark becomes ignited into a vision for what your future will be.

                   

Believing in your self will fan your internal spark until it begins to flicker with possibilities of what will be.

Turn your inspiration into a vision for a successful future and you will fan the spark into a glowing ember of your goals.

You Shape Your Attitude

Motivational Power Quote

You Shape Your Attitude

“Take charge of your attitude.

Don’t let someone else choose it for you.”

Anonymous  

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

You sharp your attitude

Take the personal responsibility for your attitude and the performance that it produces.

Your attitude can resemble that of an automobile.

It can be a new shiny model that’s a pleasure to drive and one that you’re proud to own. It will take you into the future with comfort and style.

You will have to maintain your attitude to keep it top condition and get the peak performance from it.

An attitude that is misused or neglected will not be run at peak performance. And when you need it the most it will break down and coast to the side of the road of your success journey and will lack the power to move you forward.  

It’s your responsibility to develop and maintain a winning attitude, an attitude one that will take you across the finish line and into the winners circle.

You shape your attitude . . . . And your attitude you shape you.

Sell The Way People Buy

Motivational Power Quote

Sell The Way People Buy

“Selling isn’t something you do to someone.

it’s something you do for and with someone.”

Ron Willingham, Integrity Selling

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

Sell the way people buy

Customers love to buy; but they don’t want to be pressured or sold.

Interview and qualify the customer to determine and understand their motivations, needs and their ability to buy.

Guide the customer through the transaction and demonstrate the value and the benefits of the product and or your services to the customer.

Create a win – win sales and negotiating environment.

Show a sincere interest in the customer and their needs and you will earn the right to close the sale. Ask the customer to make the decision buy and ask for the sale.

Be seen as an expert in your field by the customer. Build rapport, trust and confidence with the customer and be seen as a person of integrity.

Selling is a process and closing the sale is a continuation of the sales process and not an event.

When you sell the way people buy you will find yourself helping your customers to make good decisions and far more of them will make the decision to buy from you.

“To try and fail is at least to learn.

To fail to try is to suffer the loss

of what might have been.”

Benjamin Franklin 1706 - 1790, American Statesmen

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

Continue to try and give it your best

Never fail to try and there will be times that we will have to try and try again to reach our objectives.

When you try; you’re making an unconditional commitment to yourself to stay the course and to keep pushing until you succeed in your efforts and activities to get you to the finish line.

There are times that the results will be not you planned on; but you’ve tried and you gave it your best and you had a learning experience to draw on in the future.

Failure doesn’t come in the trying; true failure is result of the lack of effort and not trying. When you don’t try you lose before you start.

Continue to try and give it your best and when you try you’ll discover what can be.
