Rest Your Head on the Pillow of Gratitude


Rest Your Head on the Pillow of Gratitude
“Let gratitude be the pillow upon which you need to say your
nightly prayer. And let faith be the bridge you build to
overcome evil and welcome good.”
Maya Angelou, American Author, Poet

As I see it . . . . . . .

Rest your head on the pillow of gratitude

When you are resting your head on the pillow of gratitude . . . . you are living your life forward and showing positive appreciation for all the blessing in your life.

Gratitude is coming from having a positive attitude about your life . . . . and not dwelling on the challenges and obstacles in your life.

Have faith in yourself and in your abilities . . . . Use your ability to bridge you from where you are today into the future. Believe in yourself and that you will successful achieve your goals.

Rest your head on the pillow of gratitude . . . . at end of each day and you will reflect back on the positive elements of your day. And they will become the starting point in the morning of a productive day.

Talent is Like Electricity


Motivational Power Quote

Talent is Like Electricity
“Electricity makes no judgment.
You can plug into it and light up a lamp,
keep a heart pump going, light a cathedral,
or you can electrocute a person with it.
Electricity will do all that. It makes no judgment.
I think talent is like that.
I believe every person is born with talent.”
 Maya Angelou, author        


As I see it . . . . . . .

Talent is like electricity

Every person is born with talent.

Like electricity your talent is always there some people realize that and make the most of their talent while other seen to be looking for the switch to turn it on.

To maximize the use of your talent you have to direct your talent in the right direction and plug your goals into it to keep them energized.

Having talent and not directing it is like leaving the lights on when no one is in the room. The meter is spinning, the electricity is going to be wasted and no one benefits.   

Talent is like electricity have to turn it on, have a purpose and when you make the best use of it with a purpose you will experience a big benefit.

Take Control


Motivational Power Quote


Take Control
“If you don’t like something change it.
If you can’t change it, change your attitude.
Don’t complain.”
Maya Angelou, poet  


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

Take control

When you encounter something that you don’t like you have a choice of changing it or accepting it. Take the high road and change it.

If you can’t change it find away around it, through it or to go over it.

What ever you encounter take control of the situation. Make the best decisions you can with the information that you have and with the resources you have take the action to change it.

With any situation maintain a positive can do attitude and find a positive way to resolve the situation.

If we don’t take control of the situation the situation will control you.

Keep Pushing Forward - Don’t Give Up


Motivational Power Quote


Keep Pushing Forward - Don’t Give Up
“We may encounter many defeats
but we must not be defeated.”
Maya Angelou, poet  


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

Keep pushing forward - don’t give up  

Don’t give up, don’t quit and don’t surrender focus on the horizon and pursue your dreams for the future and keep pushing forward.

We may encounter setbacks, obstacles and defeats on your success journey but they all are temporary unless we give up.

The things that you want will not be handed to you on a silver platter. It will take a persistent focused effort and time to achieve the things that you want in life.

There will be times that you will have to work a little smarter,  others times  little harder, and you may have to work a little longer. No matter what you’re doing keep pushing forward - don’t give up.

When you encounter roadblocks look for the best way around them. When you faced with a problem look for the solution but don’t succumb to the problem keep going but don’t give up.

The only time that you become defeated is when you give up.  Keep pushing forward and don’t give up and you will find the way to achieve what you’re looking for.
