MONDAY’S CUP OF MOTIVATION:

Have you ever noticed that there is a level where we are comfortable?  It’s like our home heater/air conditioner.  When it gets hot, the AC turns on and when it is cold, the heater comes on.  It is the place where we are comfortable.  We all have that point in our life as well.  It’s called our Personal development set point.  The level where we are comfortable.  We are comfortable making a certain amount of money or at a certain body weight.  If we lose too much weight, we go back to where we are comfortable.  The lotto winner who goes bankrupt was comfortable making $30,000 a year.  In order to increase our wealth, health, business and relationships, we need to work on us and increase our personal development set point.  There are three things we can work on to grow us.  Increase our knowledge, increase our skills or increase our attitude.  What is the one attribute that is most important for us to grow?  When we describe the world’s most  successful people, we use words such as driven, confident, patient, risk taker…The vast majority of the words we use when describing successful people involve attitude.  What we get out of life, we create.  What we create out of life we expect.  What we expect, we think.  Therefore, if we put positive thoughts in our lives, we will get positive out of life. Positive in, positive out.  Our life is following our eyes.  Whatever direction we are looking at is where we are going.  What controls our focus controls our lives.  Let’s surround ourselves with positive people.  Let’s look for the positive in everything because positive in, positive out.  A positive attitude will be like a rising tide. A rising tide raises all boats.  Therefore, a positive attitude will raise our wealth, health, business and relationships.  Thing positive and have a phenomenal week.

ENCOURAGEMENT…

Make the changes work

In order for things to be better, they must be different. If you wish to make improvements, you must make changes.

You cannot get improved results by continuing to do exactly what you’ve been doing. To upgrade your life, upgrade your attitude, your expectations and your actions.

Moving positively forward means moving into unfamiliar territory. Remind yourself that although it can be uncomfortable, the potential rewards are truly great.

It’s easy to get stuck where you are because all you have to do is do nothing. But that’s not what you really want for your life.

Don’t waste your days hiding from or fighting against the necessity of change. Put your energy into finding and manifesting the valuable opportunities in an ever-changing world.

By very definition, life is always changing. Make the changes work for you, and change your world into an even better place.

 
GREAT WORDS TO LIVE BY…

If you want to make a permanent change, stop focusing on the size of your problems and start focusing on the size of you! 

T. Harv Eker

Successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do.  Don’t wish it were easier, wish you were better. 

Jim Rohn

The number one reason people fail in life is because they listen to their friends, family, and neighbors. 

Napoleon Hill

The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don’t define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them. 

Denis Watiley

In my experience, there is only one motivation, and that is desire. No reasons or principle contain it or stand against it. 

Jane Smiley

Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time. 

George Bernard Shaw

You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life. 

Steve Jobs

This week, remember, positive in, positive out!
