Just do it.

 

"The only man who never makes mistakes is the man who never does anything."

-Theodore Roosevelt

 

"What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?"

-Vincent van Gogh

 

"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat."

-Theodore Roosevelt

 

"...wanting change is step one, but step two is taking it."

-Isaac Marion

 

What is holding you back?  We all get nervous, especially to take that first step.  Just remember this: You cannot take that last step, to cross the finish line of your dream, until you take that first step.  Whether it may be the first step, the last step, or anywhere in between, take a step today! Best of luck, friends!

One bad day.

 

"This might be the story today, but this isn't how my life is going to end."

-Eric Thomas

 

We cannot let one bad day discourage us.  We need hope, we need an understanding.  If we understand that life is going to throw us punches now and then, we can understand that it is inevitable... we will have a bad day, we will get knocked down... but will you get back up?  Again and again?  I hope so!  Best of luck!

What you will do when no credit will be given.

 

"Today I will do what others won't so tomorrow I can accomplish what others can't."

-Jerry Rice

 

"You can't get much done in life if you only work on the days when you feel good."

-Jerry West

 

Two great quotes today.  This is exactly how you will get ahead of your competition, whether that may be yourself or another person.  When the other person is sleeping, you must be working.  When the old you would have taken the day off, you work harder than you ever have before.  Every chance that you have to get ahead cannot be wasted, because every chance the other guy has to get ahead of you... he will take!  Remember this and do NOT take the day off today! Best of luck!

 

"It's the guy who is willing to go the extra mile that will win the extra inch."

-Tyler Nelson



Choose who you will become.

 

"I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become."

-C.G. Jung

 

Today goes right along with what we have been talking about the last few days.  You will choose who you will become by choosing what you will do day in and day out.  When you form habits by the things you choose to do each and every day, these habits will be a great indicator of the person you will become.  At the end of a day, look back on what you did, what kind of thoughts went through your head.  If you are not happy with what you find, make a change the next day.  My biggest advice dealing with this concept is to not wait until you have a big wake up call.  Do not wait.  Whether things are going great or you are terribly miserable, check yourself now!  That is my challenge for you at the end of this day.  Make changes are necessary and you will find yourself cruising along on the path towards a successful dream!  Best of luck! 

 



Day in and day out, never stop.

 

"Patience is the companion of wisdom."

-St. Augustine

 

"Our patience will achieve more than our force."

-Dutch Proverb

 

Well did you take the challenge?  Did you do something yesterday to help construct that door, to prepare yourself for when your opportunity arrives?  Now the real challenge: Can you do it again today?  And tomorrow?  Every single day focus on doing at least one thing to bring you that much closer.  Continue to do the small things each and every day so you are ready for when your opportunity arrives.  Even if all you do is take five minutes out of your day, sit in peace, and make sure that the passion is still there.  Sometimes it is a good idea to double check yourself to make sure you are not steering off the path.  Stay focused and push forward.  Best of luck! 

Build a door.

 

"If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door."

-Milton Berle

 

How many times in life have you been sitting there with a friend and you see a celebrity or a sports star on the T.V. or on a magazine and they say to you "Man, they are so lucky"?  Let me tell you this: They are not!  Everyone in life will have opportunities.  What separates them from the average person is they prepared themselves so when opportunity did come, they would be ready.  Opportunities will come all the time, we just may not notice.  Like this quote says, build a door.  In other words prepare yourself so when opportunity does come, it will have something to knock on to let you know it is here.  Don't wait, do something today!

Lead your heart.

 

"Do not follow your heart, for it can be deceived... but lead your heart..."

-Fireproof

 

I cannot express to you how much I love this quote.  So many times in life we tend to sit and wait, trying to read what our hearts are telling us to do.  This needs to be done with a sense of urgency.  And when I say that I do not mean take the next ten minutes to rush and decide.  What I mean, is it should be a priority.  When cannot sit and wait for something to happen, we have to take action to make it happen.  Lead your heart.  Search your soul, your spirit, and then lead your heart.  Best of luck!
