“When it comes to getting things done, we need

fewer architects and more bricklayers.”

Colleen C. Barrett, President of Southwest Airlines  

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

Getting things done

Talking about it doesn’t get it done . . . . talking is just a lot of conversation with no action.

Thinking about it without action . . . . won’t go very far in getting it done. In time your thoughts without action fade away . . . . and become a distant memory.

When you have a vision with a plan . . . . and want to get it done your on your way to getting it done. It will also take rolling up your sleeves . . . . and hard work to get it done.

When you want to get it done . . . .  commit yourself to the activities to successfully reach your objectives. Also commit yourself to a course of action . . . . and to stay on purpose. When your committed . . . . and have a plan to get it done you won’t become distracted by the obstacles that you may encounter.

Do what has to be done . . . . Make the efforts to keep you moving in the right direction . . . . and staying on course remaining focused on your desired outcome.

Getting things done takes a commitment of . . . . effort . . . . hard work . . . . time . . . . and patience’s.

worse. Remember that makes life a lot easier and allows you

 to take pleasure in the blessings you have been given.”

Lou Holtz, Football Coach

As I see it . . . . . . .

Be thankful for YOUR blessing

When you look around you will see people who are blessed with more then you have . . . . You will also see people who have far less then what you have.

Be thankful for your blessing . . . . and if you want more of something in your life . . . . What is your goal to attract it into your life . . . . and are you committed to invest your time and efforts that required to achieve it.

Be thankful for you blessing is the key . . . . It creates a positive focus in your life and it will center you on what you want to attract. Both are positive and productive attributes that points you’re thinking forward.

Also being thankful for your blessing . . . . is focusing inward . . . . and not focusing what someone else has. Because what they have is not relevant to your life . . . . or your happiness .    

Be thankful for YOUR blessing . . . . is the stepping stone into your future and what you attract into your life.

The grind and the glory

The Real Test of Courage in Internal

Motivational Power Quote

The Real Test of Courage in Internal

“Courage is not limited to the battlefield. The real tests of courage are much quieter. They are the inner test, like enduring pain when the room is empty or standing alone when you’re misunderstood.”

Author, Educator

As I see it . . . . . . .

The real test of courage is internal . . . .

The real test of courage can come in the solitude in your quiet moments . . . . when you have to make a decision that only you can make . . . . and you make it.

Or it can be in the chaos and the craziness in a condition that you find yourself in . . . . and your step forward to take control on the situation.

The real test of courage in internal . . . . and is in that moment when an ordinary person steps forward . . . . and performs in an extraordinary fashion.

In that moment you can change the course of event . . . . the direction of your life . . . . or create a breakthrough. What you do in that moment comes from within and in your actions to meet the challenges in the moment.

The real test of courage in internal . . . . and many time your efforts go unnoticed . . . . but you know what you did . . . . and you did what is important.

Motivational Power Quote

Make the Effort to do All You Can do

“All You Can Do

is

All You Can Do,

but all you can do is enough!”

A.L. Williams, Author, Entrepreneur

As I see it . . . . . . . 

Make the effort to do all you can do

This quote is the title of an outstanding book written by, A.L. Williams in 1988.

The book is timeless and is still appropriate today for those who strive to become the best that they can be in their business and in their lives.

It tells the story how A.L. Williams took control of his life and changes the path he was on to become a successful entrepreneur.

A.L. Williams grew up wanting to follow in his father’s footstep to become a football coach. He achieved his goal and became a successful high school football coach.

A.L. Williams father died a young age and died without any form of insurance. His family was left to struggle both emotionally and financially that event changed the course of A.L. Williams life.

While still coaching football A.L. Williams took on a part time job amd became a successful insurance salesperson.

Now for the rest of the story . . . .

The death A.L. Williams father left a lasting impression on him.

His mission became his passion. Has A.L. became successful selling insurance he took the next step and started a insurance company that would go on to specialized in selling  term life insurance policies.

Term life insurance is far more affordable than the traditional insurance policies and made life insurance available at lower costs and on that business model A.L. built a successful company.

I would highly recommend the book. I found my copy on Amazon.com, just Google the book by name.

A.L. Williams followed his passion to be all he could be. He made the effort to do all that you can do and you will find that all you can do will be enough to achieve your goals

Focus on What Really Matters

Motivational Power Quote

Focus on What Really Matters 

“Focus is not a business only thing.

Each person has only twenty-four hours per day,

and how we spend those hours shows

what’s important in our lives.

The question we must ask ourself is . . .

Are we focusing on what really matters.”

               Mac Anderson, founder of Simple Truth, Successories                

As I see it . . . . . . .

Focus on what really matters

It’s not until we know what really matters to us, can we really begin to focus our time on what’s important.

When we are focusing our time on what really matters we are making better use of our time and see a higher rate return for our efforts.

Knowing what really matters is important in our career as well as in our personal endeavors.  

When we can focus our energies on what matters we are finding the highest and best use for our time and we become far more productive in our effort and in our results.

Focus on what really matters . . . . and you’re focusing on the most important things in your life.

Motivational Power Quote

Problems Don’t Improve With Age   

“. . . ones objective should be to get it right,

get it quick, get it out and get it over . . .

Your problem won’t improve with age.”

Warren Buffet, American Businessman, Investor        

As I see it . . . . . . .

Problem don’t improve with age

When you have unsolved problem it feels like your carrying around two full buckets of water with you throughout the day.

The weight of water puts a strain on your mental outlook and the longer your carrying the water around you will find the more your productive is slipping.

Problems don’t improve with age . . . .

In reality problems that go unresolved become worst and will take far more time and effort to resolve then if the problems were addressed immediately.

When you’re faced with a problem address it, resolve it and move on.

Problems don’t improve with age; in reality unresolved problems age us.

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.
