Today’s Quote & Question For 3/10/10

Today’s Quote: “Some things have to be believed to be seen.” – Ralph Hodgson

Today’s Question: Do you truly believe your dreams will come true?

My Thoughts: If you can envision something happening, the chances of it coming to fruition are greater. Athletes envision how a spectacular play could play out in their minds before they go into action. Actors envision how a spectacular performance could play out before stepping on the stage. You should be envisioning how some goal or achievement could play out as you work your way to it. It will have a better chance over becoming a reality, if you can just ‘see’ it beforehand.

Today’s Quote & Question For 3/9/10

Today’s Quote: “What you do speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Today’s Question: How much louder are your actions speaking than your words?

My Thoughts: You can say whatever you say, but it will mean a lot more if you are doing whatever you say. Your actions are the true speaker of the truth.

Today’s Quote & Question For 3/8/10

Today’s Quote: “Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash.” – George S. Patton

Today’s Question: When do you decide the cost is worth the risk?

My Thoughts: Everything worth going after will cost you something. Actually, everything has a cost, but the things you really want will really cost you. The gamble comes in what you are willing to sacrifice for your success: the time, energy, whatever it takes. But you’ve got to gauge the cost before you commit to the act, or you may find that the price isn’t worth it.

Today’s Question: Are you ready for the real test?

My Thoughts: Everything you’ve done in the past had been a build up. A learning experience to prepare you for what comes next. Are you ready?

Today’s Quote & Question For 3/6/10

Today’s Quote: “Sometimes I worry about being a success in a mediocre world.” – Lily Tomlin

Today’s Question: Are you being fair to yourself if you don’t put forth your best efforts?

My Thoughts: This would be an easy question to answer if it were a query on other people not putting forth their best effort on your behalf. Of course that would be unfair! You also know that it would be unfair if you didn’t put forth your best effort on other’s behalf. But put the focus solely on you, you efforts, and how they ultimately affect your personal well being, and you might try to convince yourself that if you can only hurt yourself, you’re probably not going to do much damage. This is not the right way to think.

Today’s Quote & Question For 3/5/10

Today’s Quote: “It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them.” – Mark Twain

Today’s Question: Are you a slave to your own freedom?

My Thoughts: You have the power to choose your own way. Is it possible that by having this power, you can actually become a slave to that power? Can you be weakened by the power to make your own choices?

Today’s Quote & Question For 3/4/10

Today’s Quote: “Waste no more time talking about great souls and how they should be. Become one yourself!” – Marcus Aurelius Antoninus

Today’s Question: How much of your pursuit is pure lip service?

My Thoughts: You talk a good game. A great game, actually. But when someone attempts to call your play, are they actually calling your bluff? How much of your pursuit of your goals and lifestyle is just lip service that you have no intention of backing up?

Today’s Quote & Question For 3/3/10

Today’s Quote: “When you can’t have what you want, it’s time to start wanting what you have.” – Kathleen A. Sutton

Today’s Question: Do you constantly want more?

My Thoughts: Remember the musical “Oliver?” One of the big scenes early in the movie is orphan Oliver Twist in the orphanage asking for more food, and the response given by the house master on Olivier’s audacity to ask for more is classic. Many people are afraid to ask for more in their lives for that specific reason. They believe that they have no right to want more, so they don’t go out and try to get more. The problem is, not only do you deserve more, you should constantly be demanding more!

Today’s Quote & Question For 3/2/10

Today’s Quote: “The person who makes a success of living is the one who see his goal steadily and aims for it unswervingly. That is dedication.” – Cecil B. DeMille

Today’s Question: Do you have the dedication to map out your goals and stick to the plans needed to fulfill them?

My Thoughts: Achievement takes a lot of hard work, and sometimes the hardest part is the start. Some people are able to just ‘go at it’, and very few of them are able to achieve sustained success without eventually stopping along the way and mapping out a course to where they intend to be. While its not guaranteed, people who do this from the beginning have a better chance of success. They will also need the wherewithal to stick to the plan once they put it in place. Do you have these abilities?

Answers Reminder #41: Money Is Not A Bad Thing

Many people see money as the ultimate scoring system for life. The more you have, the better you rank among the players. Many people see money as the root of all evil, as they think it says in the bible. The actual quoted verse is, “For the love of money is the root of all evils, and some people in their desire for it have strayed from the faith and have pierced themselves with many pains” from 1 Timothy 6:10. In the end, it’s not the money, it’s what you choose to do with the money that becomes a problem.

THIS WEEK’S TIP: You’ve got to change your attitude about money. Money should be seen as is a tool used to exchange for goods and services. Don’t let how other use or abuse money effect your ability to send your hard earned wages wisely. Money has no power in itself, unless your currency is made of paper, and then you can burn it for heat or light. Otherwise, its worth in the exchange of goods is not inherently a bad thing. It’s all in how you spend those bills.
