“Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did.” ~Newt Gingrich, an American politician

Today’s Motivation – Circumstances

Circumstances

Things happen to us all. We are born into a certain family, we are given a certain education, we choose certain work and we think that life happens to us instead of us happening to life. Consider that your circumstances are your doing.

“People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are.  I don't believe in circumstances.  The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them.”  ~G.B. Shaw, Mrs. Warren's Profession, 1893

Today’s Motivation – On Purpose

On Purpose

Are the stars a set in their course by mere luck or by design and purpose? What happens, who you meet, what you do, who you influence is not happenstance. There is structure and reason to it all. The simple question remains whether it happens to you or you happen to it.

"Each man [is] the architect of his own fortune."

~Appius Caecus, early Roman political figure and road builder

Today’s Motivation – Boiling It Down

Boiling It Down

When you boil it down, motivation is really easy. We say the same basic motivations over and over again, only with a little different twist. Let’s see…

Stay positive, take action, failure is a good thing, self-development is a daily requirement, don’t dwell in the past, the present is a gift, control your thoughts they become things, get out of your comfort zone, live your passion and, of course, have faith, believe in yourself and your dreams. Does that about cover it?

Oh, forgot one… don’t worry, be happy! Have a motivated day!

Today’s Motivation – Happiness Is The Key

Happiness Is The Key

Most people seek happiness, hunt for it, ask for it. They longingly look for it in personal relationships, in work, in success and recognition, in bigger and better possessions, in booze, sex or drugs.

Happiness is always with us, always within us. Happiness need not be sought because it is simply a choice. Today, and forever more, I choose to be happy. How about you?

Today’s Motivation – You Are Your Masterpiece

You Are Your Masterpiece

The Evolution of Learning

Today’s Motivation – Thoughts You Think

Thoughts You Think

During waking hours your mind never really quiets down. Thoughts race here and there, some on purpose, some random. The one thing you have control over are your thoughts. You can’t control the weather, politics or another, but you have complete control over and domination of your thoughts. Think about it.

"Change your thoughts and you change your world."

~Norman Vincent Peale, minister and author of inspirational books
