Quote For Today – November 8, 2017
When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. When I let go of what I have, I receive what I need. –Lao Tzu
Chase Your Dream – Don’t Quit
A dream is a dream until you and I make a commitment to achieve the dream. The dream may be far off, but each day, with committed effort, we draw closer to the dream. We won’t let discouragement stop us. We won’t let naysayers convince us to quit. We have a dream and the desire to chase it to the end. The following short YouTube video will inspire you to keep chasing the dream. Go For It.
It’s Between You And You
You and I have 24 hours in our day. You and I have 1440 minutes in our day. And, we have 86,400 seconds in our day. We all start from the same starting line each day. Where we finish is influenced by the effort we put into each of those seconds. Get Inspired with the 2 minute YouTube video by Hall of Fame football player Ray Lewis’s motivational talk on effort.
The Secret
The secret to succeeding was taught to me by my mother who didn’t get past 4th grade. It was taught to me by my father who didn’t get past 8th grade. They were of one voice, “Don’t be afraid of hard work.” I learned hard work will outperform more talented people who won’t work hard. Hard work creates a cumulative affect that lifts one up, and opens up a world of new possibilities. Enjoy the short YouTube video and get inspired to work hard.
Dare To Imagine The Possibilities
IMAGINE! IMAGINE the possibilities if you and I dared to dream peace was possible. What if we dared to dream cancer was curable? What if we dared to dream everyone on planet Earth had access to good health care, clean water, and a good education? It’s ALL Possible. It’s possible if we take our imagination and transform it into constructive action. Sure there are mountain to climb, problems we haven’t foreseen; but those won’t stop us. We DARE to IMAGINE the POSSIBILITIES.
Change Our Attitude – Change Our Life
I wish everything turned out the way I wanted it turn out. It’s not the way life works. Sometimes life throws a fastball right past us. What are our choices? We can complain. We can RSVP to a personal pity party. Or, we can assess our situation, adopt a different attitude, determine to make something good happen from our circumstances. The following short YouTube video provides a great example and motivation for us to look at all situations through an optimistic lens.
Don’t Quit – You Can Make It
If we don’t quit, we’ll reach the finish line. If we don’t quit, no matter the struggle, we’ll succeed. If we don’t quit, we’ll know when it’s over we left everything on the table. If we don’t quit we may surprise a lot of people, but not our self. Don’t quit. Don’t quit. Fight on. The following short YouTube video will inspire you to press on no matter how great the challenge you face today.
Hold On – Your Dream is Within Reach
When we chase our dreams, the entire journey is important. But, the critical moment often comes when we are closest to our goal. In the famous Boston Marathon, there is a hill, known as Heartbreak Hill not far from the finish line. It is on this hill that the race is often won and lost. When discouragement hits us in the pursuit of our dream, we may be closer than we imagined. Hold on. Don’t give up. Press forward.
Commit To Pursuing The Dream
It’s time to take the dream off the shelf and set in front of us. It time to set aside everything that’s kept us from going after the dream we’ve talked about, dreamt about, and desired. It time to make the commitment to hold nothing back and to rest only when we have achieved our dream. Get Inspired with this YouTube video.
