Take the Personal Responsibility For Change

“You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the season, or the wind, But you can change yourself.

That is something you have charge of.”

Jim Rohn, author, motivational speaker

As I see it . . . . . . .

Take the personal responsibility for change

We can sit and wait for change to happen or we can get in front of change and take personal responsibility for the change that we want to see.

There are many things that we can’t change, but we can change the way we respond to the circumstances that come into our lives.

By taking control of the changes that come into our lives we take control of our life and of our future.

There will be time that we will have to change to grow. There may have to change our attitude, the way we think or the way we respond to change.

When we change we start to look at things differently and we change the way we respond to things in our life.

Take the personal responsibility for change and you will bring positive change into your life.

Motivational Power Quote

Invest Your Day Wisely and in Productive Activities

“Time stays long enough for anyone to use it.”

Leonardo da Vinci 1542 -1500, Renaissance Painter, Sculptor

As I see it. . . . . . .

Invest your day wisely in productive activities

We have all the time there is and it’s ours to use any way we decide to use it.

We are all blessed with the same 24 for hours each day.

It’s becomes our choice to invest that time in productive activities, or waste the time. At the end of the 24 hours the day our time will be gone forever. The only thing that will remind from our day would be by investing our day in productively activities that become the building blocks for our future.

The time is there for us to use as we choose. Invest your time wisely and you will continue to benefit from your day long after the day has pasted.

Invest your time wisely in productive activities and your days will live beyond the 24 hours.

Look Up

Motivational Power Quote

Look Up

“The young sailor at sea was ordered to climb a mast

to adjust a sail during a violent storm.

He got halfway up looked down, got dizzy and sick.

An old sailor on deck shouted up to him.

Look up, son, look up.

The young sailors looked up, regain his composure,

and completed his mission.

The moral: look ahead, not back.”

We will see what we’re looking at.

We can look forward and see the horizon and we can look back and see the past.

We live our days in the present and we are preparing our self for the future. Looking back is looking at history. Focusing on today and making the best use of our time becomes the foundation for our future.

Use It or Lose It

Motivational Power Quote

Use It or Lose It

“God gives everyone certain attributes, characteristics,

talents, and then he says,

‘if you use what you have I’ll increase it,

But if you don’t use it, you lose it.’

Use it or lose it; it’s a law.”

Charlie “Tremendous’ Jones, motivational speaker

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


Use it or lose it


Talent is meant to be used and to be expanded. As we expand our talents we grow as a person and that growth enables us to achieve greater levels of success.


The more you use your talents the more it grows and the more valuable it becomes to the holder.


Talent that goes unused will wither away much little unpicked fruit from a tree and will return very little or no benefits to the holder.


Talent is meant to be expanded and stretched and once expanded our talents never return to its original size.


We build our future from our strengths and when we take our talents and continually expand them we expand not only our talent but we expand our future.


Use it or lose it, bring your talents to the surface and not matter what level talent you have continually build on them and your will expand your future.

Yesterday is a Cancelled Check

Motivational Power Quote

Yesterday is a Cancelled Check

“A man should never be ashamed to own that

He has been in the wrong which is but saying . . .

That he is wiser today than yesterday.”

Jonathan Swift, Irish Cleric, Author

As I see it . . . . . . .


Yesterday is in our life as a cancelled check


Tomorrow is an unknown and is a promissory note.


Today is the only cash we have for our future; so invest it wisely.


We learn from the lessons of our past and our lives will be spent in the future. How we invest our time today will determine what our tomorrows will be.


Yesterday is in our life as a cancelled check and when we use the lessons of the past our future becomes brighter and we become a wiser person.

You Can Do It

Motivational Power Quote

You Can Do It

“Never underestimate the power of belief

when it comes to fulfilling your dreams.

I can say with no hesitation that every person

I’ve ever met who has achieved any

degree of success has one thing in common:

they believed with all their heart they could do it.”

Mac Anderson, founder of Simple Truth, Successories

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

You can do it


Our goals become within our reach the moment that we believe that they are.


We can achieve greater levels of success when we believe that we can.


What we believe becomes the trigger that sparks our actions and actions create the foundation for our future. What we believe we can do, we will act on and achieve.


Successful people have a common element on their success journey, they believe in themselves, they believe in their ability and they believe that they reach their goals and achieve success.


They will act on their beliefs with a purpose and make the efforts required to succeed.


The simple is that you can do it when you believe that you can do it.

The Best Time To Plan

Motivational Power Quote

The Best Time To Plan

“The best time to plant a tree

was 20 years ago.

The next best time is now.”

Chinese proverb

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

The best time to plan

Planning for our future starts with our planning today.

We can always look back with regret on missed opportunities and the things that we did not do.

The key to our future is not to dwell on the past or to repeat the missed opportunities but to use our past experiences as a learning experience for the future.

Planning for our future is planning for our success in advance.

The best time to begin planning for our future is today. Begin by preparing a roadmap for our success journey.

Know where you want your success journey to take you and how you’ll get there.

Invest your time in planning before you start your success journey. The time invested in planning will give you better direction, shorten your journey, and keep you on course.

The best time to plan for tomorrow is today and when you plan today you will invest your time today in your future success.

We Sharp Our Lives

Motivational Power Quote

We Sharp Our Lives

“It’s never the environment;

it’s never the events of our lives,

but the meaning we attach to the event –

how we interpret them –

that shapes who we are today

and become tomorrow.”

Anthony Robbins, self help expert, author

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


We sharp our lives


It not the station in life that we find ourselves in that sharps our life; it how we respond to those circumstances that shapes our life and future.


We sharp our future in how we respond the present and the actions we take today to change our future. When we take control of today we take control of our tomorrows.
