A Quitter Never Wins

A Quitter Never……..

Have you ever had a bad day?

A day when all you want to do is just throw your hands up and say to the universe, I quit!

Enough! I’ve had it! I give up!

Sure you have and so have I. I have to confess that about every few months I have some of those days.

I was in that mood today until I picked up a book on my desk and as it opened I read a quote that said, “A quitter never wins….and a winner never quits.”

Most people think I never have a down day because I’m the one that tries to help people feel good or motivated and inspired about who they are.

I have those days when I just want to shut myself off and take a long break.

I also think that we need to have the down time, “I don’t feel like it” time and the “I don’t care today” time. It’s part of our personality and out nature.

The key is not to stay there. I learned a long time ago that we should set a time limit on how long we are going to stay in that state of mind.

That choice will keep you on track to move forward into a new state of mind. A state of mind that will benefit you and your successful journey through life!

Enjoy the journey!

Success/Things That Matter.

The Charles Schultz Philosophy. The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the “Peanuts” comic strip.

You don’t have to actually answer the questions. Just read straight through and you’ll get the point.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.

2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.

3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America.

4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.

5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.

6. Name the last decade’s worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Here’s another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.

2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.

3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.

4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.

5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

Easier?

The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care.

Pass this on to those people who have made a difference in your life.

“Don’t worry about the world coming to an end today. It’s already tomorrow in Australia.” (Charles Schultz)

Enjoy The Journey!

Memorial Day. Never Forget!

I am so proud to be an American and what it stands for.

In America, we can live as King and Queens. We have freedom that most take for granted.

Did you know that immigrants that come to this country( legally) are 4 time more likely to become wealthy than if you were born here? That’s because they see the opportunity and the freedom to work for their dreams.

Some people born here think that they shouldn’t have to work and that they are owed. They are the first to complain without ever having a solution. They never invest time or money to give back.

But, that’s for some other time. Watch this video and remember a vet today!

If you can’t see the screen go here <–

Have a safe weekend.

Enjoy the Journey.

Pivotal Points for Success

As you progress on your life’s journey and create the success, relationships and health you desire remember, it’s yours to take control of.

You have much responsibility to make the right choices and to put your focus on the things in life that really matter. In my early years, before the age of thirty, as with most people I looked for the silver bullet that would lead me to wealth, significance and success.

I felt that I didn’t have the skills, abilities, talents or the lustrous education needed to go into the market place and contribute much.

I was slowly introduced to the amazing world of personal development and I started to apply what I could where I could. That’s when I started to produce the things in my life that I only could imagine would ever happen years earlier.

While setting in my eighth grade history class my teacher ask the class; who among you think you could grow up and be President of the United States? I raised my hand only to have a finger pointed in my face by the teacher. I was told by my teacher that I would never be much or do much with my life, because I was from a small farm town and from a poor family.

That idea stayed with me for a long time. I began to believe that statement. It’s true that the things you think and believe will manifest in your life, good or bad.

I started to cut class then school altogether. I hung with the wrong crowd and got into trouble and almost went to jail for a while. I remember the disappointment on my Dads face and how that made me feel. That was one of about five pivotal points in my life. I made a promise to myself that day that I would never ever do it again and I never did. Before my Dad passed away he told me how proud he was of me and proud of what I had done with my life.

That was worth so much to hear him say that.

So many people get bad programming from an early age and they don’t have a fair chance at building a great life for themselves. They get programmed by bad teachers, parents, media and other authority figures in their life. The great thing about bad programming is that you can change it.

You can start now were you are. If you’re nineteen or ninety you can start to reprogram your mind by feeding it the messages you need.

Success and Busy Work.

Success and Busy Work.

Are you working hard today? Are you in a busy state of mind?

So many people are busy with just being busy they never get much done. You’ve seen the type, their busy, busy, running around in circles and telling any person that will listen how busy they are. “I’m so busy, I just don’t have the time and I’m so busy.”

But, by the end of the day they feel like they didn’t get much done. Hey, I’ve been there myself.

Busy work does not necessarily mean productive work in almost any activity.

I see people at the gym every single day that will say, “I’ve been here for 3 hours today working-out.” Well if the last hour was any indication they’ve been taking a rest on the equipment and talking.

You will always be able to determine busy work from productive work if you keep a log of things you achieved during the day. Check them off as you go.

Don’t confuse busy work with productive work.

Have a great week!
