monday morning motivator: Monday Moring Motivator & Some Points to Ponder ~ 12.26.11 - 12/26/11 04:56 AM
Monday Moring Motivator & Some Points to Ponder... "Life is a lot like nature. You only have as many animals as the ecosystem can support and you only have as many friends as you can tolerate the bitching of." ~~ Randy K. Milholland
Today, I thought I would take a sidestep away from my "typical" motivational post. I do like people but as we all know, forming relationships is a series of give and take and many lessons in the art of tolerance and persuasion. This year, I will strive to be more tolerant and turn … (22 comments)

Monday Morning Motivator & Some Points to Ponder ~ 12.19.11... There are a lot of books that focus on the power of positive thinking. For what you think about does become your reality. Why clutter your mind and thoughts with negative feelings and notions? This is a new day a start to a new work week. Today, I contemplate on doing all the things that I once thought that I could not. I no longer listen to the voices of self doubt and the criticism of others that have held me back. Today, I am clearing my mind and … (24 comments)

Monday Morning Motivator & Some Points to Ponder ~ 12.05.11... "The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them." ~~ Denis Watley
I got inspired by this quote in light of our economic climate. It is difficult for some folks to set goals much less believe that they will achieve them. By sharing your goals with others and getting … (28 comments)

Monday Morning Motivator ~ 11.7.11 “Eagles: When they walk, they stumble. They are not what one would call graceful. They were not designed to walk. They fly. And when they fly, oh, how they fly, so free, so graceful. They see from the sky what we never see.” ~ Unknown
With so much uncertainty in this real estate market, are we going to walk, or are we going to soar like the Eagles we were destined to be by our Creator? We are all Eagles. It just seems that some of us have gotten so used to clunking around … (35 comments)

Monday Morning Motivator - 100311... Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm. ~Winston Churchill I can only speak for myself, but there are times when, after repeated failures, enthusiasm or even hope that I will see success on a project wanes. It is difficult at best to, as the Britt's would say, "Keep a stiff upper lip", and push onward. I never know when success will strike but I do know that if I keep trying, it will be there. Sometimes, it just takes a little longer... Y'all have a great start to … (25 comments)

Monday Morning Motivator & Some Points to Ponder... What better way to kick-start and get your week off on the right foot than with, a good cup of coffee, Active Rain, and a good motivational quote... "Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the high road to pride, self esteem, and personal satisfaction." ~ Brian Tracy ~ I can only speak for myself, but there are days when I lack self discipline. Those days when IF I had my 'druthers', I'd 'druther' goof off and do what what is fun … (23 comments)

Monday Morning Motivator & Some Points to Ponder... "People who say that life is not worthwhile are really saying that they themselves have no personal goals which are worthwhile. Get yourself a goal worth working for. Better still, get yourself a project. Always have something ahead of you to "look forward to" ~~ to work for and to hope for. " ~~ Maxwell Maltz In my life, I have gone through several peaks and valleys. The peaks have been associated with a goal and having achieved it. Once achieved, I sometimes failed to replace that goal with another; hence … (31 comments)

Monday Morning Motivator & Some Points to Ponder... "Every morning you are handed 24 golden hours. They are one of the few things in this world that you get free of charge. If you had all the money in the world, you couldn't buy an extra hour. What will you do with this priceless treasure? " ~~ Unknown Some time ago, there was a commercial running on the boob tube with the trailer, "A mind is a terrible thing to waste." Yet many of us are guilty of wasting the most precious asset we have been given - … (31 comments)

"People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.." ~~ Dale Carnegie The real underlying question of this message is: what do YOU consider fun and what do YOU define as success? People have differing opinions and definitions. Some relish in shades of mediocrity, while others go for the gusto and want it all. We can enjoy what we are doing and make some money or a living at it. We can also hate what we are doing while earning wealth untold. Which is best? Ideally, … (26 comments)

Monday Morning Motivator & Some Points to Ponder... "Whenever you fail, don't ever think that you failed because you are not worthy. If you have come this far, then there must be something in you that brought you this far; a fire that pushed you on, so put some more gas on the fire and push on. Get up, dust yourself off and come right back, not only with a vengeance but also with a plan to win." ~ Unknown ~ IMHO, failure is a double edged sword. It is a time to reevaluate the situation. It allows us to … (26 comments)

Monday Morning Motivator & Some Points to Ponder..."Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.” ~ Albert Einstein When I hear the word imagination, I immediately think of the poet/songwriter John Lennon. Sadly, somewhere between adolescence and adulthood, many seem to lose the ability to imagination or as kids, "let's pretend". Imagining my success is not like wishing upon a star. I see me almost daily in situations or events that I want to create in my life. I write/create images in my head based on my current circumstances or the way I would like my … (32 comments)

Monday Morning Motivator & Some Points to Ponder... Zig Ziglar once said, "It's not the situation, but whether we react (negative) or respond (positive) to the situation that's important." Golly, I can't believe I have been such a slacker. I was the originator of Monday Morning Motivators several years ago and for some reason I stopped posting them at the end of May. I think I just got bummed out.
Today, I will begin anew. I realize that I cannot control what others say or their actions. Today, I will take a more positive approach to the … (25 comments)

"So what do we do? Anything, something, so long as we just don’t sit there. If we screw it up, start over. Try something else. If we wait until we’ve satisfied all the uncertainties, it may be too late." – Lee Iacocca I liked Lee. To me, he was one of those straight shooters who told it like it was. His philosophy on business and leadership was a simple, roll up your sleeves, common sense approach. I am ambidextrous. I can take a job and screw it up with either hand. Lord knows, … (35 comments)

Life is Just like A Merry Go Round ~ Enjoy the Ride & Get Off… I can't remember when or where I first heard this, but it is one of these sayings, mantras, if you will, that has stuck in the back of my mind. I must have heard this at an early age, as I have lived the saying. When I was a kid, I can remember the roundabouts at the school yard. What fun! I would love it when the bigger, stronger kids got into the act as they could … (29 comments)

Monday Morning Motivator & Some Points to Ponder..."If your ship doesn't come in, swim out to it." ~ Jonathan Winters Far too many times, I wait for something to inspire me to take action. I am guilty of procrastinating, biding my time as I watch and scour the horizon for my ship to come sailing in. But then, I know all too well that "waits" break down wagons. To me, time is too precious a commodity to waste. While some things are worth waiting for, too many aren't. When I don't see my ship making headway, I jump in and … (31 comments)

Burn your computer. Blow up your TV. Bludgeon your cell phone. Breathe deeply. This, my friends, is the secret to inner-peace. - Brian Vaszily Technology. Were would we be without it? I can remember my first business computer. A Panasonic with a 8086 processor, 1 meg of ram, 2 floppies, a whopping 20 meg hard drive and 28K baud modem. My how things have changed.

Monday Morning Motivator & Some Points to Ponder... Friendship isn't a big thing - it's a million little things. ~Author Unknown Friendship, like love, is a treasure, and gives meaning to life. Friendship could be described as one of the few relationships that can survive the trials and tribulations of time and remain steadfast. To me, friendship is a unique blend of affection, loyalty, love, respect and trust. To experience what friendship really is, one must have true friends, who are indeed rare treasures. Friendship is a safe harbor in the storms of life. A place of emotional safety and comfort … (34 comments)

Monday Morning Motivator & Some Points to Ponder... “Mondays are the potholes in the road of life.” ~ Tom Wilson I'm all too familiar with potholes. Those nasty ruts in my highway of life that produce an uncomfortable bump when I hit them while cruising 90 miles per hour, radio blasting, petal-to-the-metal, speeding down life in the fast lane. Let's face it, life is a road full of potholes. Some are small and shallow and although I frown at the inconvenience, I quickly readjust and cruise onward. It is the ones are large and deep that can be the … (33 comments)

Monday Morning Motivator & Some Points to Ponder…I'll do whatever it takes to win games, whether it's sitting on a bench waving a towel, handing a cup of water to a teammate, or hitting the game-winning shot. ~ Kobe Bryant It is but human nature to be in the game, be part of the team. I know when I'm engaged in an activity that involves competition and team members, I want to play and stay in the game as long as I can. However; I find that starting the game and sitting on the bench pose two very different challenges. … (31 comments)
