Success is a state of mind... It's not a chance or good luck or having rich family members.  It's a state of mind from the beginning.If you want success, start thinking of yourself as a success... You have to be thinking of success if you want it.  Once you think about it and turn it into a burning desire, those desires will work with your mind to develop the right path to follow to reach your success.  And with those developments in your mind you will take action upon those thoughts to reach your success. So Success is a state of … (2 comments)

You have a choice...That is the most important part of the day EVERY day.  You have a choice to think positive or not, to do positive or not and to treat people positive or not.You can throw in the towel... also know as quitting.  Where does quitting get you in life?  Last I checked quitting gets you nowhere -- unless you are digging yourself a hole in trouble.  But then again, what seems like trouble may be just success dressed like hard work.Or you can use it to wipe the sweat off your face...  when your at the point of grabbing … (6 comments)

Confidence comes from NOT always being right... DO you know someone that always has to be right?  Is that person you?  People that always have to be right are not confident, they are actually insecure and being insecure is the opposite of being confident.But from not fearing to be wrong... That is the key to confidence.  We all want to be successful and being successful requires confidence and confidence comes from not fearing to be wrong.  There is no one that will always be right, yet there are those that never think there wrong.  Don't be that person.  Have confidence … (2 comments)

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS?
 
OR WHERE IT IS? This statue currently stands outside the Iraqi palace, now home to the 4th Infantry division. It will eventually be shipped home and put in the memorial museum in Fort Hood, TX.
 
The statue was created by an Iraqi artist named Kalat, who for years was forced by Saddam Hussein to make the many hundreds of bronze busts of Saddam that dotted Baghdad. Kalat was so grateful for America's liberation of his country, he melted three of the heads of the fallen Saddam and made the statue as … (2 comments)

Only those who will risk going too far ( We all know that we can all risk more) can possibly find out how far one can go...  Are you willing to truly evaluate where you are today with your risk?  Then after your evaluation are you willing to see how far you are willing to hang on, on the ends of risk?  The more you risk today.... The more you have in life and the less you will regret.

How many times have you had bricks thrown at you?  I'm sure you can think of several times and different ways that has happened in your life... People telling you that you can't do what you say your going to do,  people stomping on your dreams, people pulling you down to their level when you are trying to take the appropriate steps to advance in life, and on and on.   When people throw bricks at us we have two choices..... we can crumble--which most people do OR we can use those bricks to build a strong foundation towards your motivation, … (6 comments)

The only things in LIFE you regret are the RISKS you didn't take....  We all have regrets.  Live your life to the fullest today and you will not have regrets later.  If you look back on your life what do you have regrets about?  What could you have differently?  What can you do today to live your life the way you would if it was written in the perfect movie script?  YOU are the main actor/actress in the movie about your life.  How are you going to let it end?  What are the great risks and rewards will there be?  Remember, THE ONLY … (1 comments)

Courage is being scared to death... we have ALL been there.  Faced with that decision of fear that just about paralyzes us.  But this is what separates the brave from the weak, the successful from the unsuccessful and the do'ers from the scared excuse makers.  FEAR is False Evidence Appearing Real.  We all have choices.... either step up and face our fear or step up with the excuses and live your life as a coward.  So I know you have fearbut saddling up anyway... is the best way to live and the best for our souls.Action weights ounces, regret weights tons.  Don't let the … (7 comments)

Two thirds of Americans make New Years Resolutions.  Some of the most common are; to lose weight, get out of debt, eat healthier, be happier, save money, go to the gym, etc...  Of the people that make New Years Resolutions 75% of those people start slacking off or quitting their New Years Resolutions before the end of January.  Most people quit due to not having the discipline.  They think the New Year will magically make it easier for them to keep their goals. Stop expecting things to be EASY, but always expect them to be WORTH IT.  Goals, desires and success are hard … (0 comments)

The path to success is to TAKE massive DETERMINED action.  The two key words here are TAKE and DETERMINED.  Alot of people have great ideas, desires, wishes, dreams and wants but they don't TAKE any action to make those ideas, desires, wishes, dreams and wants come true so they end up living the life of settling with what they have instead of TAKING action to get what they want.  Then there are those that take action for their ideas, dreams, desires, wishes and wants but they are not taking DETERMINED actions.  They run around without a plan and waste energy … (2 comments)
