Monday Motivationals.

“Don’t wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will
always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So with
each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more
skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.”
–Mark Victor Hansen

…and remember:

Accept responsibility for your future.

Concentrate on the things YOU CAN DO.

Yesterday is gone (make friends with it) + FOCUS on what you can do today + plan/prepare for tomorrow = Life takes on new meaning, accomplishments grow; best chance of acquiring all the things you want (happiness, health, great relationships).

“Today is a new day; anything is possible”.

Make it happen; make it a great day.

Motivation for Monday Morning

Take risks: if you win, you will be happy; if you lose, you will be wise. Believe in yourself and your strength, without fearing failure. Remember, “failure is an event, not a person”..
Some of my fave ‘Risky’ quotes:

“You’ll always miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”
-Wayne Gretzky

“Of all the people I have ever known, those who have pursued their dreams and failed have lived a much more fulfilling life than those who have put their dreams on a shelf for fear of failure.”
-Author Unknown

“Our lives improve only when we take chances – and the first and most difficult risk we can take is to be honest with ourselves.”
-Walter Anderson

“A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.”
-George Bernard Shaw

Take a risk today 🙂
Make it a Great day.

Motivational Monday

Our greatest battles are that with our own minds.

The future depends on what we do in the present.

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in RISING EVERY TIME WE FALL.

Motivational Monday

Today’s motivation is a collection of quality inspiration from one of my favourite motivational speakers, Zig Ziglar:

Failure is a detour, not a dead-end street

I believe that being successful means having a balance of success stories across the many areas of your life. You can’t truly be considered successful in your business life if your home life is in shambles

If you don’t see yourself as a winner, then you cannot perform as a winner

If you learn from defeat, you haven’t really lost

Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will

Remember that failure is an event, not a person

Sometimes adversity is what you need to face in order to become successful

–Make your day Great !
