Motivation and Inspiration

by Evie on August 12, 2009

It is my belief there are more of us saying the same thing in “in our own way” than ever before in all history combined together compared until right now, this moment.

Case in point :-) In my travels today – one of the sites I landed upon is a blog, and this particular blog entry Motivation and Inspiration is exactly what I needed this day.

Below are the snippets I pulled from the video’s :-)   Thank You

Les Brown

Put back as retarded in the fifth grade to the fourth, most of his schooling was done as though he was incapable of learning.  A chance meeting with a teacher changed the path he was on.

Someone else’s opinion of you does NOT need to be your reality.  The ONLY person whose opinion DOES matter is YOURS.  You are your best advocate or your worst enemy.

It’s possible.  When faced with *whatever* say IT’S POSSIBLE :-) It’s Possible.

Most people are so negative they must say no seven times before they say yes.  Be ready, seek advancement of skills.  The only way to “Be Ready” is to seek advancement of ones skills when there is no need, and to be “hungry”

Pursue ones passion.  We must have passion in what one does.  Being able to follow ones passion, one becomes more thankful.

Thankfulness breeds gratitude.  Gratitude breeds success.  Find reasons for gratitude.

Nido Qubein

Change from within … the only one who REALLY wants change is the baby in wet diapers.

1) Excellence is a habit:  The wildly successful people form habits which “breed” success.

2) Personal responsibility:  No one can whine to me why THEY can’t achieve their dreams. As children our surroundings have a lot to do with we do and do not, however there comes a point in every human being’s life when THEY take responsibility for their own actions – even if that decision for their responsibility they give over to another to control.  The one “being controlled” is still the one who is choosing in every moment to BE controlled :-|

Life is lived best when you set your self a goal.

3) Change – it is time to face our greatest fears.  Change does not come from, nor just for the sake of, cause improvement, but improvement ALWAYS comes from change.

Do not change for the sake of change, but change for that which will improve … once this vicious cycle has begun and others are taught how to do and then improve, abundance is ours :-) ALL of ours :-)

Napolean Hill

Personal Success – When Napolean Hill was a youth and he studied with Andrew Carnegie; he told Mr. Carnegie he (Napolean) should not be a leader due to his youth, lack of education, and lack of finances:

Andrew Carnegie: Science for success philosophy, taught Napolean one GREAT truth

A power that is greater than poverty, education, greater than all your fears and superstitions.

This profound power is that of the creator.  We have the complete and unchallengeable control over our mind.

Napolean Hill’s take away was:  What ever the mind can conceive and can believe, the mind can achieve. (and how is that, the mind finds a way :-)

Marci Shimoff

  1. Dare to be happy – happy attracts success.
  2. Don’t believe everything you think.  I CAN, I CAN, I CAN :-)
  3. Use the power formula:  Intention, attention, no tension.
  4. Let your passion lead – have the will to go with your gut.  Do what you love.  Continue-continue-persist.
  5. Don’t catch the NO Cold ~ emotional contagion.  We become the average of the five people we spend most of time with.  That we associate with.  Spend time with people who are happy for no reason.

Zig Ziglar

By the time I got to Zig’s videos I was happily adlibbing along the way. Sorry ;-)

Can one help a negative Nellie?  Drama … problem seekers … want to be negative Nellie’s.  The people who complain the loudest are usually the ones who ARE the problem?  Negativity breeds negativity.  There is no other way to say it :-(   It has gotten to the point me, myself will actually go about shaking it off :-) the cycle of negativity MUST end.

Do IT … If someone isn’t willing to DO something first, nothing will be done.  You MUST do step number one, before you can do step number two.

The person WITH the problem – if THEY do not take that first step – no matter HOW bad the problems seem to be, or the person seems willing to change it – the person does NOT WANT to change the situation.

The eyes are the window to the soul.  Look deep into your eyes in the mirror and say your affirmatives into the eyes of you. Morning, Noon & Night … and if you get a chance to sneak an extra one or two in ~ WHOOOO HOOO !!!

Before bed – I love *~* because … and go through the list looking into and through the window of your soul (eyes)

In the morning before starting the day again look into the window of your soul and say your affirmative statements again :-)   FEEL These as your truth with passion and excitement and just the first 24 hours will uncover miracles.

Everybody sells – EVERYBODY.  Unless one is a hermit and the only one they interact with is themselves (they are still selling them self ;-) How and why?  Who knows – but time is the most precious of commodity.

No one changes except YOU.  Self talk is the worst talk.  How to stop self talk … ooohhh good article to research and write :-)

Seems kinda strange one of my domain names IS EverybodySells :-) I love it when a plan comes together, even if I have been like Fry and been asleep for a thousand years ;-)

Gratitude – the healthiest of ALL human emotions is gratitude.
