Learning the Hard Way

Motivational Power Quote

Learning the Hard Way

“One of the things I learned the hard way

was that it doesn’t pay to get discourage.

Keep busy and making optimism a way

of life can restore your faith in yourself.”

Steve Jobs, Co-founder of Apple Computer

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


Learning the hard way


Some of our best life lessons we learn will come the hard way.


In the moments of discouragement when the pressure may feel unbearable we have to have the strength of conviction that we will successfully prevail.


In those moments we have to have an optimistic look out and approach the issue with the attitude that we take control on the issue and successfully resolve it.


A positive outlook and actions will keep us busy in the resolution of the issue and not dwelling on the issue itself.


Learning the hard way is allowing the discouragement to take control of our life and becoming reactive to the situation.


Be proactive and in control of the conditions that come into our lives. Once you do you increase the odds of successfully resolving the conditions.


Learning the hard way is a life experience to move forward with wisdom.

The Road to Happiness

Motivational Power Quote

The Road to Happiness

“The road to happiness lies in two simple principles:

find what interests you and that you can do well,

and put your whole soul into it –

every bit of energy and ambition

and natural ability you have.”

John D. Rockefeller III, Philanthropist 

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


The road to happiness


True happiness is found in self-discovery and pursuing things that we enjoy.


When we determine the things that we enjoy in our lives and pursue then with a purpose we will find that we will enjoy both the journey and voyage of discovery.


When we combine doing the things we enjoy with doing them well we will feel that we will never work another day in our life. Because at that point what we’re doing is a labor of love and it will never seem like work again.


The road to happiness is to find your purpose in life and do those things with excellences. When we do we will find the path way to happiness and self-fulfillment.

“It’s difficult to say what is impossible,

for the dreams of yesterday is the

hope of today and the reality of tomorrow.”

and repeat over & over,

Is ‘what the most valuable use of my time right now’.”

A Life of Action and Purpose

Motivational Power Quote

A Life of Action and Purpose

“Time is limited so I better wake up

every morning fresh and know that

I have one chance to live this particular day right,

and to string my days together

into a life of action and purpose.”

Lance Armstrong, 7-time winner of the Tour de France

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


A life of action and purpose


The moment that we step out of bed each day we decide that type of day that we’ll have.


We can choose a day of purpose and take the actions to ensure that the day becomes successful.


We can turn each day into a day of purpose and our life takes on meaning and it will become a life of purpose and success.


A life of action and purpose is a choice to become the person that we where meant to be and to reap the benefits of our choices.
