Strength

When you face difficult times, know that challenges are not sent to destroy you. They're sent to promote, increase and strengthen you - Joel Osteen

Don't wish for

Don't wish it were easier; wish you were better. Don't wish for less problems; wish for more skills. Don't wish for less challenges; wish for more wisdom. - Jim Rohn

Optimism

There are no limits...only beliefs about what is possible! Optimism is a strategy for making a better future. Unless you believe that the future can be better, you are unlikely to step up and take responsibility for making it so. - Norm Chomsky Optimism is essential to achievement and it is also the foundation of courage and true progress. Change the way you see things, and you will have the power to change your world. Instill optimism and creativity in all you do. Make the impossible...possible. Turn ordinary into extraordinary! May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with courage and optimism. Start now! Make today great!

True power

Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power. If you realize that you have enough, you are truly rich. - Tao Te Ching

By choice

Your life is the sum result of all the choices you make, both consciously and unconsciously. If you can control the process of choosing, you can take control of all aspects of your life. You can find the freedom that comes from being in charge of yourself. - Robert F. Bennett It's not what happens to us, it is what we choose to do about what happens that makes the difference in how our lives turn out.  The realization that the power is yours, and choosing the right responses to things can truly make the difference in your attitude and outcomes you experience. You have that power...the power to choose.  Choose wisely and create the outcomes that benefit you. Make today great!

Standing still

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

Determination

Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough. - Og Mandino Dream big enough that it will engulf all you do. Find a purpose to achieve that will pull you through. Believe and stay focused, take action each day.  For where you have will...you'll find a way!

Believe in yourself

Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy. Human beings have the awesome ability to take any experience of their lives and create a meaning that disempowers them or one that can literally save their lives. - Tony Robbins Believe in yourself, believe in your dreams. Believe you deserve to achieve them. Believe you can...and you will. Set a plan and take action. Keep your dreams alive. Have faith in your abilities. Start now. Make today great!

Self critic

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 The most important words we'll utter are those words we say to ourselves, about ourselves, when we're by ourselves.

Make a Decision

Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen. - Ralph Waldo Emerson Make A Decision! Every positive change in your life begins with a clear, unequivocal decision that you are going to either do something or stop doing something. Significant change starts when you decide to either get in or get out.

What you think

You may believe that you are responsible for what you do,but not for what you think. The truth is that you are responsible for what you think, because it is only at this level that you can exercise choice. What you do comes from what you think.— Quote from A Course in Miracles Write the script of your own life, rehearse it in your mind, then go out and perform it to the best of your ability. Our minds can shape the way something will become because we act according to our expectations. Start now, make today great!

Positive

By acting in a positive, pleasant and optimistic way, you become a positive, optimistic and enjoyable person. - Brian Tracy

Positive difference

Make a gift of your life and lift all mankind by being kind, considerate, forgiving, and compassionate at all times,in all places, and under all conditions, with everyone as well as yourself. This is the greatest gift anyone can give.—  Dr. David Hawkins We live every day from what we can get, but create a life by what we can give. 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!

What money can't buy

It's good to have money and the things money can buy, but it's good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure that you haven't lost the things money can't buy.  - George Horace Lorimer

Do what successful people do

You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.  - Brian Tracy 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.

Be kidlike

There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of the people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will have truly defeated age. - Sophia Loren Develop a childlike fascination with life and people.

This miracle

You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a different one, each day brings a miracle of its own. It's just a matter of paying attention to this miracle. - Paulo Coelho

The Courage

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 If you have the courage to begin, to take action, to stick with it...you have the courage to succeed.

Turning the impossible into I'm possible

The things you want are always possible; it is just that the way to get them is not always apparent. The only real obstacle in your path to a fulfilling life is you, and that can be a considerable obstacle because you carry the baggage of insecurities and past experience.―Les Brown Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon must inevitably come to pass.

Today is the day

Everyone has the power to impact the outcome of their life. The way to do it is to focus on today….Today is the only time you have. It's too late for yesterday. And you can't depend on tomorrow. -  John C. Maxwell Wise words...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! Make it great!

Give the best

It is every man's obligation to put back into the world at least the equivalent of what he takes out of it. - Albert Einstein You get the best out of others when you give the best of yourself.

Maximize your potential

The big challenge is to become all that you have the possibility of becoming. You cannot believe what it does to the human spirit to maximize your human potential and stretch yourself to the limit. - Jim Rohn

Take action

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. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Get up, get moving, do something! Set goals and take action daily to achieve them!  Live the life you deserve! Start today!  Make today great!

Secret to success

Put Your heart, mind, intellect, and soul even to Your smallest acts. This is the secret of success. - Swami Sivananda

Price of success

The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand. - Vince Lombardi

Drive and persistence

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.

Born to win

You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win. - Zig Ziglar Winners have the ability to look at every situation with an expectation that they can make it work...or make it better! Make today a great day!

Today

What happened even as recently as yesterday is no longer of any consequence, unless we choose to allow it to be. What is of great importance is who and what it is that leaves its mark today, and each day thereafter. What we have been is an established and unchangeable fact. What we can yet become is an unlimited, boundless opportunity. - Jim Rohn Nobody can go back and start a new beginning...but anyone can start TODAY and make a new ending! Learn from your yesterdays, have faith in your tomorrows, Make TODAY great!

Do what you love

The key to life is to become skillful enough to be able to do rewarding things. - Jim Rohn Do what you love and love what you do! It truly makes a difference...so you can make a difference! Make it a great day!

Patience and Perseverance

Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained. - Marie Curie There is great pleasure in achieving and succeeding when others say you cannot. The goal is not to never fail, but to be able to pick yourself up after a failure, learn from it...and move on.  With enough patience and perseverance...soon your difficulties and obstacles will disappear.

Wasted Worry

How would your life be different if…You stopped worrying about things you can’t control and started focusing on the things you can? Let today be the day…You free yourself from fruitless worry, seize the day and take effective action on things you can change. - Steve Maraboli If there is no solution to the problem then don't waste time worrying about it. If there is a solution to the problem then don't waste time worrying about it.

Make today great

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 every day the BEST - it's your choice! Utilize the power of NOW to make a difference in your life. Be the example people want to follow, be the friend no one ...

Be a leader

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. Leaders are made, not born.  Leaders have a sense of missions--vision--that uplifts, motivates and inspires men and women to heights to help them achieve that vision. Leaders make things happen.

Believe

Somehow I can't believe that there are any heights that can't be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true. This special secret - curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy, and the greatest of all is confidence. When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable.  - Walt Disney Believe in yourself, believe in your dreams!  Realize that you don't have to look outside yourself for strength...it is there all the time.

Be strong

Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragement, and impossibility: It is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak - Thomas Carlyle There is great pleasure in achieving and succeeding when others say you cannot. The goal is not to never fail, but to be able to pick yourself up after a failure, learn from it...and move on.  With enough patience and perseverance...soon your difficulties and obstacles will disappear.

Admit to yourself

Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is. And the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult. - Julia Cameron Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power. Our lives improve only when we take chances and the first and most difficult risk we can take is to be honest with ourselves.

Throw yourself

The only way that we can live, is if we grow. The only way that we can grow is if we change. The only way that we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. And the only way that we can become exposed is if we throw ourselves out into the open. Do it. Throw yourself. -  C. JoyBell C

Passion Purpose Plan Pursuit Persist

Be willing to dream, and imagine yourself becoming all that you wish to be. – Dr. Wayne W. Dyer You can have the life of your dreams, it’s as simple as that. Follow your passion, find your purpose, create a plan, begin your pursuit, have perseverance and through it all persist! You can begin creating the life you deserve, now. Don’t hesitate… your life is waiting! Passion-Purpose-Plan-Pursuit-Perseverance-Persist!  Make your dreams and goals big enough to help pull you through. Make a plan and set yourself in action. Instead of saying "I should, I could or I would", change it to telling yourself "I can, I will and I must"! Make it happen! Make today great!

By choice

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice. - Wayne Dyer It's in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped. Choosing the right responses to things can truly make the difference in your attitude and outcomes you experience. Choose wisely and create the outcomes that benefit you. Make today great!

Enthusiasm

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 objective. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Productive

Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it's when you've everything to do, and you've done it. - Margaret Thatcher Great day to start off a productive weekend! Set goals, take action! Make it great!

Respect yourself

Accept the notion that you deserve all the happiness you can honestly attain through the application of your talents and abilities. The more you like and respect yourself, the more deserving you will feel of the good things in life. And the more deserving you feel, the more likely you will attain and hold on to the happiness you are working toward. - Brian Tracy

Be Happy

Learn how to be happy with what you have while you pursue all that you want. - Jim Rohn

Champions

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.

Journey

Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb. - Winston Churchill

Unlimited

W e are unlimited beings. We have no ceiling. The capabilities and the talents and the gifts and the power that is within every single individual that is on this planet, is unlimited - Michael Beckwith

Encourage others

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. -  Albert Schweitzer Encourage someone who needs it. Whether it’s a friend, sibling, parent, child or coworker, a little recognition could make a world of difference in their lives. Let them know that you are thankful for them and that you appreciate having them in your life. You can encourage someone with words, a hug, a gift or even an email or phone call. It is so simple to do; act now and go encourage someone! Make today great!

One more time

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.  - Thomas Edison 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. Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out if they've got a second. Give your dreams all you've got and you'll be amazed at the energy that comes out of you. It always seems impossible until it is done. How long should you try? Until you succeed! Greatness is the ability to accomplish things even when others say you cannot!

Determination

Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough. - Og Mandino Dream big enough that it will engulf all you do. Find a purpose to achieve that will pull you through. Believe and stay focused, take action each day.  For where you have will...you'll find a way! Make it a great day!

Abundance

Whatever we are waiting for - peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness & simple abundance - it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart. - Sarah Ban Breathnach

Momentum

Success comes from taking the initiative and following up... persisting... eloquently expressing the depth of your love. What simple action could you take today to produce a new momentum toward success in your life? - Tony Robbins

Before

Before you speak, listen. Before you write, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you invest, investigate. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Before you retire, save. Before you die, give. - William Arthur Ward

Celebrate

There is always something to celebrate, so long as life is being lived. - Neale Donald Walsch Have fun! Live your life! Make it great!

Attitude

Attitude, to me, is more important than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do.  It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill.  It will make or break a company… a church… a home.  The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we embrace for that day.  We cannot change our past… we cannot change the fact that people act in a certain way.  We cannot change the inevitable.  The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude… I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it.  And so it is with you… We are in charge of our attitudes. - Charles Swindoll 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 ...

Add something

Don't spend most of your time on the voices that don't count, voices that are going to add too little worth to your future. Don't waste time on the shallow and the silly. Tune those voices out and tune in voices that are going to add something to your life. - Jim Rohn

I Will

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will. - Vince Lombardi Don't focus on "I would if I could".  Tell yourself..."If I can, I will". Start now! Make today a great day!
