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.

"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.

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)

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)

Does sunlight or water limit the size and photosynthetic capacity of a leaf? While trees are beautiful to look at, give us shade and provide places for birds to nest, they are limited in stature.

Monday Morning Motivator & Some Points to Ponder… Don't go around saying the world owes you a living; the world owes you nothing; it was here first. - Mark Twain Sadly, there are too many folks that go around feeling as if the world owes them something; in reality, they are indebted to the previous generations.

Monday Morning Motivator & Some Points to Ponder...Love would never be a promise of a rose garden unless it is showered with light of faith, water of sincerity and air of passion. ~ Author Unknown Love, that strangest of all emotions. It forgives transgressions, it's the balm that soothes a wounded spirit, the unstoppable force which sends hate scurrying from it's blinding light.

Monday Morning Motivator & Some Points to Ponder...If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse. ~ Jim Rohn In the game of life, it's easy to point the finger of blame. We blame our circumstances, we blame malfunctioning office equipment, we blame the economy. We point the finger of blame at everything but ourselves. We are in control of what we do and when and how we do it. If you really want to accomplish something, you WILL find a way. What's your excuse for not making it happen?
