Continuous Positive Activities

There are no such things as an overnight sensation . . . . When you see a successful person you see someone who has put in the time . . . . and effort to be recognized as being successful.

They will invest their time and energy in developing their skills that will be necessary to become successful in their profession.

Successful people who are consistent with their efforts . . . . and will commit the time required to achieve success. Will pay the price for their success upfront and enjoy their benefits of their success in the future.  

Success is achieved through continuous positive activities . . . . Be an overnight sensation and commit yourself to success.

and your better is best.”

Unknown author

As I see it . . . . . . .

Never rest until your better is the best

The place to improve your world is first in your mind . . . . and then through your actions to turn your thoughts into your reality. 

You choose the path in life that you will travel . . . . and you make the choices on who you become.

You also make the choices in life on how good you want to become.

Choose not to be good . . . . choose to be better . . . . and then stretch yourself into being the best that you can be.

Improving your world begins in your thoughts. You make those thoughts come true through your activities. Choose to be the best that you can be . . . . and your actions will become a reflection of how good you want to be at what you do.

What you think impacts your attitude . . . . and your attitude affects what actions you take.

Turn your good into being better . . . . turn your better into becoming the best . . . . and in your best your will create a new world of opportunities and unparallel success.

The Optimist Sees Their Future

The Optimist Sees Their Future

“An optimist stays up until midnight to see the New Year in.

A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.”

Bill Vaughan, America columnist  

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

The optimist sees their future

Be the optimist . . . . Look into your future . . . . and sees it as you want it to be. And make it your goal to successfully create that future.

An optimist sees the opportunities in their challenges . . . . and won’t allow an obstacle to derail their success journey . . . . or to slow down their forward momentum. The optimist knows the direction that they want their future to move in . . . . and they will do what has to be done to get there.

The optimist believes that they will achieve their objectives. They will work hard and do more than required to ensure the desired outcome.  

An optimist is realistic . . . . but has an extended view of life that expands their playing field and their opportunities.

The optimist understands that success is not an accident. They will create a success plan to achieve the desired outcome and take massive action to achieve success.

The optimist sees their future. . . . and they will take the actions to sharp their future the way they see.

Don’t React , , , , Act With a Purpose

Don’t React , , , , Act With a  Purpose

“The possibilities are numerous

Once we decide to act and not react.”

George Bernard Shaw 1856 - 1950, Irish Playwright,

Co-Founder of the London School of Economics

As I see it . . . . . . .

Don’t react . . . . Act with a purpose

Your future is a blank canvass . . . . that only you can paint.

To paint the canvass with your future you have to a vision for what you want your future be. We then will have to act on our vision to make it become what we believe it can be.

There are only two ways that the canvass of your life can be painted. You can take control of your life and act on determining your future . . . .  and to start to paint your canvass as you want to see that future. Or you can decide to live a reactive life and have someone else paint the canvass of your life for you, as they see your life.

The choice is simple to act to control your future . . . . or to reactive and have someone else decide your life for you.

Create a grand vision for your life . . . . and act on the vision of what you want your life to be.

See your life as a blank canvass . . . . and use your imagination to paint your future. Remember it’s your bush . . . . it’s your canvass . . . .  it’s your life . . . . it’s your paint . . . . and it can be anything that you want it to be.

Believe in the possibility for your future . . . . because for what you believe you can make come true.

Self-Confidence is Essential

Self-Confidence is Essential

“Self confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings.”

Aldous Huxley 1894 - 1963, English Writer

As I see it . . . . . . .

Self-confidence is an essential

True self confidence is developed through concentrating on your successes and putting your failures . . . . setbacks . . . .  and negatives in your life behind you.

                                                      

Focusing on the negatives will waste your time . . . . drain energy . . . . provide little or no results . . . .  and move you down a dead-end path.

Concentrating on your achievements and successes will energize you to see the possibility for your future success.  It will also take your self-confidence to a new and higher level.

Your self-confidence will put the air under your wings . . . . and will take you to greater heights of success.

Self-confidence is essential . . . . to achieve your goals . . . . and to reach your full potential.

What’s Your Purpose?

A rocking horse is in motion . . . . and can be moving very fast . . . . but at the end of the day the rocking horse is exactly where it started.

A rocking horse rocks in place . . . . and makes no forward progress.

The rocking horse purpose . . . . is to rock.

The race horse has a purpose . . . . to do their best . . . . and you win the race.

Don’t confuse the motion of the rocking horse . . . . with the progress of the race horse.

Progress is following your plan . . . . and continuously putting one foot in front of the other in order to keep moving in the direction of your goals . . . . and to cross the finish line successfully

What’s difference between a rocking horse and a race horse? The rocking horse rocks in place and makes no progress. The race horse is groomed to do their best to win the race. Be the race horse and put best your best foot forward with the purpose to achieve your goals.

What’s your purpose?

You’re Making Decisions Everyday

You make decisions everyday . . . . Some small . . . . and there are some that you make that will have the capacity to change people’s lives. The size and importance of your decisions are not as important as making the right decision and in doing what’s right.

When you have a choice between doing something fast just to get it done . . . .  The question becomes are you making the right decision . . . . or  making a fast decision. There is a big difference between the two choices.

When you’re asked to make a small decision . . . . do you push it aside because “it’s just a small decision?”

A Life of Possibilities

A Life of Possibilities

“The difference between the impossible

And the possible lies in the person’s determination.”

Tommy Lasorda, baseball manager

As I see it . . . . . . .

A life of possibilities

The difference between what become possible for one person . . . . and impossible for other is in a person’s determination.

Tommy Lasorda played for the Brooklyn Dodgers for 4 years and appeared in just 26 games as a major league pitcher. In his entire major league baseball career he never won a game and lost 4 games.

Tommy Lasorda used his knowledge of baseball and his determination to propel him to the next level.

He became a hall of fame manager for the Dodgers. Tommy was twice being named manager of the year, winning 1599 games and 2 World Series over the span of a 21 year career as the Dodgers manger.

Lasorda found what was possible in his determination . . . . and he pursued his career with passion and enthusiasm.

That determination resides within all of us. You have to reach down into your character to release your determination.

A life of possibilities . . . . is a life of determination that you make  possible in your attitude and through your actions.

The Pain of Inaction

 The Pain of Inaction

“We must all suffer from one of two pains; the pain of

discipline or the pain of regret. The difference

is discipline weights ounces while

regret weights tons.”

Jim Rohn 1930 – 2009 , American Entrepreneur,

Self-Author, Motivational Speaker

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

The pain of inaction

Success and inaction . . . . both come with a price.

Inaction . . . . is making the decision to procrastinate.

Procrastination is making . . . . a choice. 

The choice that’s made is . . . . the of inaction which is to take the action is choosing not to act. The price of inaction is enormous. It is carried forward in the form of pain in living a life of regret for the things that you did not do . . . . and in lost opportunities.

Taking action takes self-confidence in your decision making and in your abilities. You also have to have the mental discipline to take calculated risks . . .  and to make choices.

In taking action some of your choices will create breakthrough opportunities in your life . . . . while others may have little or no impact . . . . And there will be some that you would like to forget about. 

Failing to take action subordinates the choice to someone else to make the decision for you. You will lose the ability to make your choices and to choose your actions.

When it’s time to take action you have to step up . . . . and take the best actions possible in the conditions that you find yourself in.

            

The pain of regret for your inaction is carried forward and can become emotionally draining on you. The discipline to succeed . . . . is making choices . . . .

Taking action has a price but there is peace of mind in knowing that we’re in control of your choices . . . . your actions . . . . your the results . . . . and in your future.

The pain of inaction is enormous . . . .
