A Powerful Tool For Success...

JTBarnes · 10-27-2009, 09:36 PM

During today’s reading I came across a quote that really
fired me up. You know when you’re just so mentally tired it
makes you sleepy?? Well this was me around 7:40 this
morning.

So there I was forcing myself to study when BAAAMM…

..it hit me like a ton of bricks, giving me the extra push I
needed to get some major work done.

“Though no one can go back and make a brand-new
start, anyone can start from now and make a brand-new
ending” –Carl Bard

Quotes are great because they’re like mini shots of
adrenaline. They sum up the main idea of a message in a
few short sentences.

In looking at a few that often inspire me I found…

“Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly-until you
can learn to do it well” –Steve Brown

“Anyone willing to sit at the feet of failure and soak
up everything there is to learn will graduate quickly
to the school of peak performance” –Zig Ziglar

“I miss 100% of the shots that I never take” –Wayne Gretzky

“You can have everything in life you want if you will just
help enough people get what they want” –Zig Ziglar

…and the list goes on and on but what I’d like you to do
is share a quote(s) that is meaningful to you. Help inspire
others as you have been inspired.

"Mow the lawn. Kiss your Mom. Do the best you can. Remember, God loves you man."

Kenster · 10-27-2009, 09:56 PM

Quotes are powerful.

I personally tape quotes on my desk and right on my wall as you walk into my home office I have about 30 different fortune cookie fortunes. It is amazing how powerful a few sentances can be though.

"The answer will not come to you...you need to look for it"

...thats one of my fortunes

maggie2 · 10-27-2009, 11:48 PM

The human mind is like an elastic, once stretched by a new idea, it never goes back to its former shape. I think this came from Oliver Wendell Homes

And another favorite from Maya Angelou: When you know better, you do better.

I too love quotes. In fact, I'm just in the process of compiling a book of Christmas quotations that will be available for sale soon on Amazon. I plan to create other books of quotations in the new year as well.

If there was a way to get a few good quotes on a daily basis, what format would anyone reading this like? Online? In a book? In a card deck? Any other ideas?

Thanks for any feedback on the question.

Charleskidd · 10-28-2009, 12:34 AM

You right keep putting those inspirational messages. Definitely give back.

Something similar to this that was a BAM! moment for me

"Who we are today is the result of the choices we made yesterday. Who we become tomorrow is the result of the choices we make today"

Can't remember who said it though but anyways, with your quote, it's now DOUBLE BAM! for me...I better get studying for exams....

Having the Winner mindset is the Key to Success!
Always keep yourself motivated and determined, success is not far away!

don21stc · 11-04-2009, 01:55 PM

I know this is all 'wrong' because it is a quote of sorts that looks backward rather than forward so it's completely contrary to conventional motivational thinking and it's from a pop song, which again is all 'wrong' and it's written by Frank Sinatra (and Paul Anka) and pretty much everything else is 'wrong' with it, but I still find it inspiring. You can hear it and feel it rather than just see it written down and it's most definitely from someone who really, really, really had walked his talk with a vengeance.

Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spat it out
The record shows
I took the blows
And did it my way

Apologies everyone - not really the thing for a sophisticated Warrior thread - but I still like it, anyway!

euhlir · 11-04-2009, 02:09 PM

Great quotes.

Honestly having the right mindset does do wonders for your business and everyday life.

dcrannik · 11-04-2009, 07:40 PM

JT-
This is good stuff. I attended a Zig Ziglar seminar years ago and I remember him quoting Henry Ford- If you think you can or cannot, you are right.

You don’t create things that you want. You create things that you give your attention to, whether you want them or not. – Abraham-Hicks

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all. - Dale Carnegie

Start by doing what's necessary, then what's possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible. - Francis of Assisi

Some people are so afraid to die that they never begin to live. - VanDyke, Henry

Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive. - Hubbard, Elbert

The men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed. - Lloyd Jones

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. - Thomas Alva Edison

The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts. - Marcus A. Antoninus

We are more interested in making others believe we are happy than in trying to be happy ourselves. - Francois Duc de la Rochefoucauld

It is not the place, nor the condition, but the mind alone that can make anyone happy or miserable. - Roger L'Estrange

Happiness is the only good. The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so. - Robert G. Ingersoll

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us. - Keller, Helen

I will see it when I believe it. – Wayne Dyer

Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions. - Einstein

Follow your bliss, and doors will open for you that you never knew existed.
Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls. – Joseph Campbell

Ok....I'll stop now!

Another powerful tool for success us to create a visualational tool like a "vision board"

YellowBird · 10-23-2010, 12:27 PM

This quote was a BAMM of mind expansion.

“The secret of success is to realize that the crisis on our planet is much
larger than just deciding what to do with your own life, and if the system
under which we live the structure of western civilization begins to collapse because of our selfishness and greed, then it will make no difference whether you have $1 million dollars when the crash comes or just $1.00. The only work that will ultimately bring any good to any of us is the work of contributing to the healing of the world.”

~Marianne Williamson (1952-, American author, lecturer on spirituality)

Michael Newman · 10-23-2010, 12:50 PM

Yellow Bird,

Thank you very much for that awesome quote.It is scary and educative,reminding us of our connection...and destiny.

I have this taped on my desk: "The pain of discipline weighs ounces. The pain of regret weighs tons." I got this from Jason Fladlien. Believe it or not, it gave me the push that I needed to lose eight pounds (and counting)! It also gave me the push to complete the tasks that I would have otherwise put off.

baird_williams · 12-04-2010, 04:44 AM

Thanks for your inspiring quote. LOVE YOUR JOB !!!!! This is of utmost importance - without this you will not do any of the above successfully as you don't really want to be where you are.

rcritchett · 12-05-2010, 02:20 PM

Love it! Great post! You're so right, sometimes all we need is to be reminded of a message that deep down, we already know. That allows us to SEE again, instead of being blocked by our own restrictive programming! Thanks for posting.

"You are to become a creator, not a competitor. You are going to get what you want, but in such a way that when you get it every other person whom you affect will have more than he has now". -The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles
