Today’s Quote:
“Amateurs sit and wait for inspiration, the rest of us just get up and go to work.” – Stephen King
This quote is all about taking action. You can think, dream, and plan something, but without taking action, you just won’t get where you’re going. You don’t need the stars to align, you don’t need to wait another day, you just need to get moving.
Thanks for stopping by.
Have a terrific Thursday!
Until next time…

Today’s Quote:
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.” – Steve Jobs
I addressed this earlier using a previous quote. Basically, the idea here is to pursue “your” goals, “your” likes, “your” loves–Not someone else’s. Why do something you are not 100% committed to?
I don’t care what your goals are. If you are really motivated to accomplish this goal because you want it, you are much more likely to complete it–You’ll be 100% engaged. It’s just like work. If you are truly doing something you love, working long hours, going the extra mile, learning the intricacies of your position will be nothing to you. Going to work for you will not be like it is for most. You’ll look forward to the work. You will be excited to engage the day.
Take some time to really analyze what you are pursuing. Is this your goal or someone else’s? Examine your current employment. Is this something you truly enjoy or is it absolute drudgery to go to work every day?
I’m not advocating quitting your job, but I am advocating to really evaluate what you are doing. Most of us are putting 70% of our time at our jobs. Why not make it a job you really love?
Until next time…

Today’s Quote:
“We think, mistakenly, that success is the result of the amount of time we put in at work, instead of the quality of time we put in.” – Arianna Huffington
I call this “going through the motions”.
Any of us can go through the motion of doing our work. We show up on time, we sit at our desks and we do the work we are assigned without any thought, creativity, or purpose. It is so easy to fall into this trap.
The key to success in this life is to do the best you can, regardless of who is watching or the potential for reward. Do it out of love. Do it for God.
When you put your heart into something it really shows. I read an article a long time ago that described how a Mother always cooked her family’s food with love. Anyone that ate that food knew it was because of the love this Mother had for her family.
Put your love into everything you do. Put your love into making your bed, cleaning the dishes, raking the leaves, mowing the lawn, or even doing your laundry. You’ll be amazed at how good you feel when you’re done and the difference in the results you achieve.
Until tomorrow…
