Today’s Motivation I WILL LIVE THIS DAY…

I WILL LIVE THIS DAY…

“I will live this day as I it is my last.

Can sand flow upward in the hour glass? Will the sun rise
where it sets and set where it rises? Can I relive the errors
of yesterday and right them? Can I call back yesterday’s
wounds and make them whole? Can I become younger
than yesterday? Can I take back the evil that was spoken,
the blows that were struck, the pain that was caused? No.
Yesterday is buried forever and I will think of it no more.”
~Og Mandino

"If not us, who? If not now, when?"
~John F. Kennedy

Carpe Diem ~ Seize the day!

Today’s Motivation TO FEAR OR NOT TO FEAR

TO FEAR OR NOT TO FEAR

There are only two kinds of fear. There is the fear caused
by real danger like if someone were to hold a knife to your
throat… and there is all other fear caused by your thoughts.

Fear is defined as follows: a distressing emotion aroused
by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is
real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid.

The key is whether real or imagined. Most of us, fortunately,
rarely if ever face real life threatening fear. There aren’t any
four-legged man-eating predators roaming our streets. And,
our social constraints and laws keep most of the two-legged
variety at bay. So most fear is of the second type – imagined.

How many “what if” situation can you create to cause you
fear? The number is endless. The results are devastating. I
think Franklin D. Roosevelt got it right in his first inaugural
address…

“This great Nation will endure as it has endured, will revive
and will prosper. So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief
that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless,
unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed
efforts to convert retreat into advance.”

Today’s Motivation EFFECTIVE DIVERSION

EFFECTIVE DIVERSION

Classic wisdom says you must work hard to get ahead
in life. We all know people who have worked very hard
yet are still merely treading financial water. No, it’s not
fair as most of these people are really good folk. But,
what matters is what gets done effectively.

It’s a trap and there is a way out of it. Firstly, learn to
value yourself and your time. Believe that you are a
deserving, valuable and worthwhile individual with
something unique contribute to the world. With that
in mind you’ll find ways to be productive.

Learn to say no firmly and politely. If what someone
asks doesn’t move you toward your desired results,
thank them and say no.

Deal with things as they come up. Problems will find
you. It’s the nature of living. Work on things that need
your attention, deal with your problems head on with-
out putting them off.

Keep focused. With so much “noise” out there you can
be put off your track easily. Become a discerning player,
learn not to take every piece of bait that comes by, especially
the ones that take you off course and are distracting. Read
those goals again! Be confident in your intentions.

Never stop learning. Always seek new ways to do things.
Take in what others have to offer so you can incorporate
the best of the best.

With your sight firmly set on your purpose, any diverting
traps will be easily avoided.

Today’s Motivation ONE STEP AT A TIME – BACKWARDS

ONE STEP AT A TIME – BACKWARDS

Achievement is not haphazard. You need a strategy, a plan
of action.

Great achievements come from a lot of little steps, one after
the other after the other. The successful in life visualize their
goals. Successful people are also able to visualize the pathway
to their goals, the series of steps along the way, but they do it
backward.

Merlin was a wizard who appeared in the tales of King Arthur’s
Court. He lived his life backward starting out as an elder getting
younger as the days passed. He was a great help to Arthur as he
always knew what was going to happen.

Try using a Merlin Exercise. By visualizing your end result first
and working your way backward, step-by-step you can create
from the future back to today. Visualize what the second to last
step in the process is, then what the next step before that and so
forth until you arrive at today. With a Merlin Exercise will you’ll
know exactly what you need to do Today to achieve that goal!

Your Daily Motivation LEADERSHIP IS ACTION NOT POSITION

LEADERSHIP IS ACTION NOT POSITION

All successful people became successful, because they
gave some talent or ability in the service of others.

You can contribute in some way to others, no matter how
small your talent. You too, can become successful.

No one achieves success without being of service.

Successful people don't use others, other people use the
successful, for above all success is of service.

Everyone has to be someone to someone to be anyone.
Service is the essence of success.

Today’s Motivation PAY NOW OR PAY LATER

PAY NOW OR PAY LATER

Great achievement blossoms from constant self-discipline.
With two choices in life it’s easy to take the path of least
resistance and live an effortless life, free from self-discipline,
or you can choose to pay the price for success. 

The “easy” life is the less demanding choice. Rewards are
immediate and it is the quickest route to a life of mediocrity.
If you don’t do much, nothing much gets done. So, head for
the lake, sit in front of the TV every night, don’t read a book
or write a business plan. Easy.

A life of self-discipline starts early every day, isn’t always fun
and requires self-control and will. Sometime you must choose
to do the unpleasant things. It isn’t always fun, but you accomp-
lish something, you make something happen in your life.

The late Jim Rohn spoke about the pain of discipline versus
the pain of regret. Either way, he said, you pay the price. You
can choose to pay the price of discipline now, today, and every
day. Or you can choose to pay later with the price of regret. He
pointed out that the price of self-discipline is pennies and the
price of regret is a fortune.

Just imagine the depth of pain you would feel when you realize
it's too late, that you no longer have the energy or the oppor-
tunity to make something of yourself. Wouldn't you rather pay
the small price of self-discipline now, and look back at a life of
accomplishment?

As Jim Rohn said, you can choose to go to the beach today, or
you can work today, and tomorrow, and the next day, and
eventually own the beach.

Today’s Motivation WHAT IS THE QUALITY OF YOUR INTENT?

This quote has got to either get you up out of your chair or
back into it pondering, pondering.

“What is the quality of your intent?

Certain people have a way of saying things that shake us at
the core. Even when the words do not seem harsh or offensive,
the impact is shattering. What we could be experiencing is the
intent behind the words. When we intend to do good, we do.
When we intend to do harm, it happens. What each of us must
come to realize is that our intent always comes through. We can-
not sugarcoat the feelings in our heart of hearts. The emotion is
the energy that motivates. We cannot ignore what we really want
to create. We should be honest and do it the way we feel it. What
we owe to ourselves and everyone around is to examine the
reasons of our true intent.

My intent will be evident in the results.”

~Thurgood Marshall (1908-1993)
