A Habit

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. - Aristotle It is inevitable that we must change our habits if we intend to get different results. Continue to only develop ones that are giving us positive results. Don't settle for less. Believe and achieve! Start now! Make today great!

No Limitations

Life has no limitations, except the ones you make. - Les Brown

There are no limits

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!

Think Big

Think big and don't listen to people who tell you it can't be done. Life's too short to think small. - Tim Ferriss 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!

It is possible

The only thing that stands between a man and what he wants from life is often merely the will to try it and the faith to believe that it is possible. - Richard M. DeVos 

Sum of choices

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!

Confidence

Confidence is going after Moby Dick in a rowboat and taking the tartar sauce with you. - Zig Ziglar There's nothing more attractive than confidence, once you see your own beauty, so will everyone else!

Important to us

Because we don't know what is really important to us, everything seems important. Because everything seems important we have to do everything. Other people unfortunately see us as doing everything, so they expect us to do everything. But doing everything keeps us so busy we don't have time to think about what is really important...to us.   It is our job to find out what is most important to us, and spend more time focused on what matters most.

Like a camera

Life is like a camera. Focus on the important things. Capture the good times. Develop from the negatives. And of things don't work out, readjust and take another shot.

The Worst Habit

And there's no telling what will happen when you act upon them. - Jim Rohn They serve as your road map towards achieving whatever you desire. If you don't know where you are going...you may never get there. Set goals, set a plan and take action! Start now! Make today great!

Clearly Defined

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 off a productive week! Set goals, create a plan, take action! Make it great!

Make A Gift

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.

Remarkable

People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success. - Norman Vincent Peale

When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us. - Alexander Graham Bell Keep your eyes open to opportunity!

Limitations

Limitations live only in our minds. But if we use our imaginations, our possibilities become limitless. - Jamie Paolinetti

Character

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are. - John Wooden

The Right Track

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.

Be the Example

Be the example people want to follow, be the friend no one can seem to repay, be the person you always hoped to become. Don't settle for just being all you can be...be more than you ever expected.  May the strength that you have obtained from the difficulties you've endured help you achieve the goals you desire and the life you deserve!  We all have the power and the power to choose to make today Great!

Right Now

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. Be the example people want to follow, be the friend no one ca...

Gratitude

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. - Melody Beattie

In one minute you can change your attitude and in that minute you can change your entire day.  - Spencer Johnson 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?

Throw ourselves

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.

Focus on today

What happened even as recently as yesterday is no longer of any consequence, unless we choose to allow it to be.

What we can yet become is an unlimited, boundless opportunity. - Jim Rohn Wise words...live for today! Learn and cherish all from your past, dream and believe in all that the future can bring.

Getting it right

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

What they are

Many people succeed momentarily by what they know; Some succeed temporarily by what they do; but a few will succeed permanently by what they are - John Maxwell

Transformers

Excellence

If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop  the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude. - Colin Powell
