Don't cheat people of their growth. Empower them to solve problems and generate ideas. Watch them grow! - Stephen Covey

As you begin to take action toward the fulfillment of your goals and dreams, you must realize that not every action will be perfect. Not every action will produce the desired result. Not every action will work. Making mistakes, getting it almost right, and experimenting to see what happens are all part of the process of eventually getting it right. - Jack Canfield Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength. It always seems impossible until it is done. How long should you try? Until you succeed!

You don't have to be great to get started, but you have to get started to be great. - Les Brown   If you don't act now while it's fresh in your mind, it will probably join the list of things you were always going to do but never quite got around to. Chances are you'll also miss some opportunities.  Everyone has the power to impact the outcome of their life. Focus and live for today! Learn and cherish all from your past, dream and believe in all that the future can bring. Make the most of today! Your big opportunity may be right here, right now! Make it great!

It's not the events that matter most to us, but rather, it's how we interpret those events that will determine how we think about ourselves and how we will act in the future. ~ Tony Robbins

The person who sends out positive thoughts activates the world around him positively and draws back to him positive results - Norman Vincent Peale Happy HUMMPP DAYY: Life ends when you stop dreaming, hope ends when you stop believing, love ends when you stop caring, friendship ends when you stop sharing ... so share something with a friend. Add a little kindness, give someone a smile, share a laugh. Life is what we make it.  We tend to get more of what we give and what we expect. You become what you think about. Visualize what you want. See it & feel it. Believe it. Positive thoughts bring positive results.  Start now, make today great!

Our happiness depends on the habit of mind we cultivate. So practice happy thinking every day. Cultivate the merry heart, develop the happiness habit, and life will become a continual feast.  - Norman Vincent Peale

Our limitations and success will be based, most often, on your own expectations for ourselves. What the mind dwells upon, the body acts upon. - Denis Waitley You become what you think about. Visualize what you want. See it & feel it. Believe it.

Only as high as I reach can I grow, only as far as I seek can I go, only as deep as I look can I see, only as much as I dream can I be. - Karen Ravn

Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be energetic and faithful, and you will accomplish your object. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

It's the little things you do that can make a big difference. What are you attempting to accomplish? What little thing can you do today that will make you more effective? You are probably only one step away from greatness. - Bob Proctor

If you are not making the progress that you would like to make and are capable of making, it is simply because your goals are not clearly defined. Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning and focused effort - Paul J. Meyer It's a great day to start your momentum for a productive week! Set goals, create a plan, take action! Make it great!

If we could all just focus in on "what we have" as opposed to "what we do not" and realize who we have become along the way, through all of life's lessons - we would all be happier, more confident people!  Live the miracle: Live and enjoy your life to the fullest. Remember how extraordinary even what you think of as ordinary, truly is! Carry forth an attitude of gratitude in all you do, always. For every miracle must not be taken for granted! This is your life. Live it. It is valuable. Make the most of it. If you desire more. Do something about it. Don't just be all that you can be. Become more than you ever thought you could be!  Live the life you deserve! Start NOW for life is too short! Begin by making TODAY a great day!

This is your life. Live it. It is valuable. Make the most of it. If you desire more. Do something about it. Live the life you deserve! Taking action is the part...most people don't do. Then we wonder why things don't change for the better. Don't stop believing. Don't fear. Don't wait. Don't give up. Don't give in. Don't settle for less! Happy and unhappy people tend to have very similar life experiences. The difference is what they focus on. It's your choice. Approach everything with an Attitude of Gratitude and focus on what you have instead of what you do not. Things don't necessarily get easier, we just change the impact or meaning by how we choose to deal with them...and through this we get stronger and wiser. Make today a great day! Happy Friday Everyone!!

Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life. - Dr. David M. Burns

Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.  - Ralph Waldo Emerson Adversity is a fact of life. It can't be controlled. What we can control is how we react to it.

If we did all the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves - Thomas Edison

The loudest and most influential voice you hear is your own inner voice, your "self critic". It can work for you or against you, depending on the messages you allow. It can be pessimistic or optimistic. It can wear you down or cheer you on. You control the sender and the receiver, but only if you consciously take responsibility and control of your inner conversation. - Keith Harrell

Don't be afraid of growing slowly, be afraid of standing still. - Chinese proverb

It has long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things. - Leonardo Da Vinci Actions truly speak louder than words. Lack of action also speaks volumes. Take action steps today toward achieving your goals and dreams. You don't have to see the entire staircase to take the first step. Live the life you deserve! Make today great!

Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does. -William James

Everything rises and falls on leadership.  And leadership truly develops from the inside out.  If you can become who you ought to be on the inside, you will be able to become the leader you want to be on the outside. - John Maxwell We're all leaders... If you influence anyone's beliefs, thinking, behavior, or development, then you are engaging in leadership.  If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more...you are a leader.

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together. -Marilyn Monroe

If you believe in faith and keep speaking victory, favor, health and wholeness, you will see positive changes begin to happen in your life. You will reap a good harvest from the seeds you are sowing. - Joel Osteen Feed your faith and doubt will starve to death. By having belief, faith & enthusiasm for something ...it will make life worth living.

How you think about a problem is more important than the problem itself. So always think positively. - Norman Vincent Peale Unexpected circumstances can be thrown at you, but what is the thing that counts most in these situations? What counts most is how you react to what happens to you, especially when you have unexpected problems of any kind.  A Positive Mental Attitude is indispensable to your success. You can be as positive as you want to be if you will simply think about the future, focus on the solution and look for the good. If you do what other successful people do, if you use your mind to exert mental control over the situation, you will be positive and cheerful most of the time. And you will reap the benefits enjoyed by all successful people.

Developing a true sense of gratitude involves taking absolutely nothing for granted. Rather, we always look for friendly intention behind the deed and learn to appreciate it. - Albert Schweitzer How do you turn your life around? Begin by developing an attitude of gratitude! As soon as you start to feel differently about the things in your life that you already have, you begin to realize and open the door for even greater things to come. Learn to not take things for granted.  Life is too short to not count your blessings on a daily basis! Gratitude opens the doors to receiving greater things! Start now! Make today great

Do your part to make a positive difference daily.  You get the best out of others when you give the best of yourself, for it is in giving that we actually receive! Make it a great day!

The purpose of life is to discover your gift. The meaning of life is to give your gift away - David Viscott

Our limitations and success will be based, most often, on your own expectations for ourselves. What the mind dwells upon, the body acts upon. - Denis Waitley You become what you think about. Visualize what you want. See it & feel it. Believe it.

In one minute you can change your attitude and in that minute you can change your entire day.  - Spencer Johnson Positive thoughts can energize your day and the perfect way to start each morning!  Our attitude is the environment we carry with us during the day.  It proclaims to the world what we think of ourselves and indicates the sort of person we have made up our minds to be. It is the person we will become. How's your attitude today?

Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential. - Sir Winston Churchill

Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there -  Will Rogers Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence.

Start today!  Make today great!

You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. - Jim Rohn Take personal responsibility.  Change the only corner of the world you can be certain of improving, your own self.  We must continuously improve to grow, progress and have success.  You are doing your best only when you are trying to improve what you are doing.

A true friend knows your weaknesses but shows you your strengths; feels your fears but fortifies your faith; sees your anxieties but frees your spirit; recognizes your disabilities but emphasizes your possibilities. - William Arthur Ward Renew an old friendship, enhance an existing or make a new friend!  Friends are the most important ingredient in this recipe of life.

Happy Friendship Friday! Life’s like a boom-a-rang. The more good you throw out, the more you receive in return. - Josh S. Hinds Remember...it's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.  Be more concerned about making others feel good about themselves than you are making them feel good about you. A person who truly does things that count, doesn't usually stop to count them. Make things count! Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you will help them become what they are capable of becoming.  Start now! Make today great!

May joy and good fellowship reign, and in this manner, may the Olympic Torch pursue its way through ages, increasing friendly understanding among nations, for the good of a humanity always more enthusiastic, more courageous and more pure.

The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.

There's always the motivation of wanting to win. Everybody has that. But a champion needs, in his attitude, a motivation above and beyond winning. - Pat Riley

Champions do not become champions when they win the event, but in the hours,weeks, months and years they spend preparing for it. The victorious performance itself is merely the demonstration of their championship character - T. Alan Armstrong Champions are not born, they are created. It is not just about winning the game, it's about becoming a winner through the journey and as a result of the hours of hard work, dedication and mental preparation for the challenge. Teams succeed when the desire and intent are joined with attitude and action.

People who soar, are those who refuse to sit back and wish things would change. - Charles R. Swindoll To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

If you’ll not settle for anything less than your best, you will be amazed at what you can accomplish in your lives. - Vince Lombardi

The problem with most people is that they get so caught up with what they 'think" is or isn't happening to them, that they fail to see the things that actually are.  It is important for us all to live our lives one day at a time, and realize that RIGHT NOW this is enough. Reflect on the past for what you have learned from it...but do not grieve over it for it is gone. Be careful not to let new opportunities pass you by while you sit idle thinking about the chances you may have lost.  Look forward to what lies ahead of us in the future, but do not worry about it, for it has not yet arrived. Stop wondering about the future - create it.  Life starts NOW, Live in the present, and make it so great it will be worth thinking about later. Instead of just making the best of everyday,  make the decision to make everyday the BEST - it's your choice! Utilize the power of NOW to make a difference in your life. We all have the power and the power to choose to MAKE today a GREAT

Success is almost totally dependent upon drive and persistence. The extra energy required to make another effort or try another approach is the secret of winning. - Denis Waitley If you think you're a winner you'll win, if you dare to step out you'll succeed. Believe in your heart, have purpose to start. Aim to help fellow man in his need. Thoughts of faith must replace every doubt. Use words of courage and you cannot fail. If you stumble and fall, rise and stand ten feet tall, you determine the course that you sail.

There is one quality which one have to possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning desire to possess it. -  Napoleon Hill
