The Possibility Zone

The Possibility Zone

“The possibility zone is just a little out of your reach . . . .

and just a little outside of your comfort zone.

Be willing to stretch yourself forward. . . . .

and to step out of your comfort zone . . . .

and step into the possibility zone.”

Lou Ludwig, Sales and Management,

Success Coach, Speaker, Trainer, and author

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

The possibility zone

We are searching for success . . . . when many times success is within your reach from where your  standing.

You may have to stretch yourself forward to reach success . . . . But it’s there for a person who is willing stretch themselves out of their comfort zone . . . . and into the possibility zone.

Success may take a change of habits . . . . but as you adjust your habits things change . . . . and success becomes within your reach.

You may have to change your thinking . . . . but in changing your thinking you change your world . . . . and that change moves you closer to reaching your goal of achieving greater success.

What you desire to reach and achieve is within your reach the moment you decide that you want to achieve greater success . . . . and you make the decision to step into the possibility zone.

Your Thinking

Your Thinking

“If constructive thoughts are planted positive outcome will

be the result. Plant the seeds of failure and

failure will follow.”

Sidney Madwed, American Author, Poet, Lyricist

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

Your thinking . . . . becomes the basic for your habits.

Your thinking . . . . forms the foundation for your actions.

Your thinking . . . . drives the level of success that you will achieve.

Your thinking . . . . becomes the foundation for your self-image.

Your thinking . . . . creates the direction that you life moves in.

Your thinking . . . . when negative plants the seeds for failure.

Your thinking . . . . creates the enthusiasm to keep trying.

Your self-image forms your self-concept of who you are. Both are formed as a result of your thinking and the habits that have been formed as a result of your thinking.

When you want change in your life . . . . change your thinking . . . and you’ll automatically change your self-image.

Everything that you do in your life is affected . . . . by your thinking. Keep you thinking positive and focused forward on your goals and objectives . . . .  and your thinking will become the foundation for your future success.

Life is a Series of Patterns

Motivational Power Quote

Life is a Series of Patterns

“Your self-image is your pattern!

Every thought has an activity visualized.

Every activity belongs to a pattern you identify with

your patterns of thoughts.

Your patterns leads your life.”

J.G. Gallimore, author

As I see it . . . . . . .

Life is a series of patterns

Our patterns become our habits. Most of the things that we do everyday are formed in our subconscious mind and are repetitively done without giving them much thought.

In most cases we never think about our patterns and habits unless something triggers us to evaluate a behavior or a result that products a less then desirable results.

Our patterns can be relationship and career builders or they become obstacles to our success.

Look at your patterns that are contributing to your success and built off of them to keep you moving in the right direction.

Evaluate the patterns that are slowing your forward progress or holding you back. The moment that you can identify those patterns you have taken the first step to eliminating then.

The best way to eliminate an unproductive pattern is to replace that pattern with a new proactive pattern. Replacing the pattern will take about 30 days of effort to see a change in the pattern.

Life is a series of patterns some good and some not so good, replace the unproductive patterns and your days will become more productive.

The Habit of Doing a Little More

Motivational Power Quote

The Habit of Doing a Little More

“Do something every day that you don’t want to do;

this is the golden rule for acquiring the habit of

doing your duty without pain.”

John 17:4    

As I see it . . . . . . .

The habit of doing a little more

Our lives are shaped by our habits.

Over our lifetime we form many habits, our positive habits becomes the foundation that we build our careers on. They support the weight of our success journey. We come to rely on them in our decision making and in our actions.

We really don’t give our habits much thought they seem to a response mechanism.

The habit of doing a little more than required is law of subtle accumulation.

Each day as we do a little more it may not initially seem to have much impact but after a week you would have achieved a minimum of 7 more little achievements then would have done. After a month it would completed to over 30 more little things. In a year you would have achieved over 365 little accomplishments.

The law of subtle accumulation is working for you.

The single habit of doing a little more each day will accumulate and make a massive difference in the pace and a direction of your career.

The Secret of Excellences

Motivational Power Quote

The Secret of Excellences    

“If you are going to achieve excellence in the big things,

you develop the habit in the small matters.

Excellence is not exceptions it is a prevailing attitude.”

Colin Powell, Secretary of State   

As I see it . . . . . . .

The Secret of excellences  

The secret of excellences is not mystical it’s in plain sight for those who seek it out.

Excellence is the thin slice between being good and being great. In business excellences will make the difference between a business succeeding or failing.

Excellence is in the prevailing attitude of the person that’s providing the goods or services that takes them to the top.

It’s an attitude of to do more than expected, to exceed expectations and to do it with excellence.

The attitude of excellences begins with the psychology of doing the things that you do with excellences.

When you continually do the small things in life with excellences you create and develop the habit excellence. That habit becomes ingrained in your thinking and becomes part of your business habits.

The habit of excellences grows and the small things that you have done with excellences will become the big things.

The secret of excellence is in your prevailing attitude and that attitude is reflected in your actions.

Habits Creep Into Our Lives

Motivational Power Quote

Habits Creep Into Our Lives

“Habits are formed so slowly

that most us don’t realize what is happening

until the habit are too strongly

entrenched to be broken.”

Napoleon Hill, author

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

Habits creep into our lives

A habit start with a single act and when that act is continually repeated it turns into habit.

We can form positive habits that will enhance our lives that can help us to realize our goals and dreams.

We can also form poor or negative habits that drain our energy and will being our success journey to a stop. Negative habits have a harmful impact on us and our lives.

Habits creep into our lives; nurture the positive habits and allow them to grow. Identify the negative habits and make every effort to remove those habits from your life.

In time habits become imbedded into our thinking and in our actions. Long term habits become so deep ingrained that we have to have the personal strength to remove the negative habits.

Habits creep into our lives and we have to decide if we’re going to nurture them or remove them.

What We Consistently Do We Will Become

Motivational Power Quote

What We Consistently Do We Will Become

“In essence, if we want to direct our lives,

we must take control of consistent actions.

It’s not what we do one in a while

that shapes our lives,

but what we do consistently”

Anthony Robbins, author

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

What we consistently do we will become

The actions that we consistently repeat we become. Our actions become ingrained into our sub-conscious mind until repeating them becomes a habit. What we consistently do we become and form the habits in your actions. Those actions either will either move us in the direction of success and achievement of our goals or our actions will move in the wrong direction and further away from your goals.

Think before your act and plan before you take action

Act in accordance to what you want to accomplish and in who you want to become.

What we consistently do we will become. Be a person in your action that moves you in the direction of your goals and success.

By taking control of your actions you take control of the direction that your life takes and your results.

You first become who you want to be in your thinking and become that person in your action.
