Today’s Motivation – Happiness is so simple

“Happiness is not a matter of good fortune or worldly possessions. It's a mental attitude. It comes from appreciating what we have, instead of being miserable about what we don't have. It's so simple, yet so hard for the human mind to comprehend.” ~Unknown

Today’s Motivation - Building Anticipation

Fix a goal in your mind. Set a date for its beginning. Mark it on the calendar. Start to get excited about what happens on that date. Make it a date of significance. Write out a plan. By delaying your start you build anticipation, increase your focus and energy toward your goal.

It’s the same feeling you have when a vacation is planned, a prom date is set, your first day at a new job. Map that feeling onto any goal you want.

Today’s Motivation – I

Contrary to popular belief, there most certainly is an ”I” in “team.”

Today’s Motivation – Master of My Emotions

If I feel depressed I will sing. If I feel sad I will laugh. If I feel ill I will double my labor. If I feel fear I will plunge ahead. If I feel inferior I will wear new garments. If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice. If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come. If I feel incompetent I will think of past success. If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals. Today I will be the master of my emotions. ~Og Mandino

Today’s Motivation – Excellence

Today’s Motivation – Excellence

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do.

Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

In some instances timing is everything, in some cases no. Timing is real important if you’re landing an airplane, playing music or trying to catch a ball. However, waiting for things to align before you take action is not an effective use of the timing is everything theory.

TIMING Theory

Conditions are never right at the right time; the timing is always wrong! If you’re waiting for everything to be just right before taking action, you are in possession of a foolproof excuse for failure.
