Small and Simple Inspiration

By M-Power

 I’ve been reminded this week that the solutions in life often come little by little, not in big chunks.  I sometimes set myself up for discouragement if I’m looking for the big chunk solution.  In fact, it is easy to completely miss the little inspirations that progressively lead us toward our goal.  I believe that most (certainly not all) inspiration comes in the small and simple things.  I like the way Bob Proctor defines success – “The Progressive Realization of a Worthy Ideal”.  Remember that word “progressive” means it doesn’t show up all at once.  If you will humble yourself enough to open your eyes and see the small and simple inspirations in your life, I can almost guarantee you that something will come along today to help you solve your problem.  fast rs money Notice and be grateful! (Please notice also what I’ve attached about Friday’s speed reading event and…

What Kind of Difference?

By M-Power

My 10-year-old daughter shared with me a quick little inspirational book this week called The Fred Factor, by Mark Sanborn. This book was inspired by the author’s mailman who went out of his way to do his job with enthusiasm, turning the ordinary into the extraordinary for himself and all of those around him. Sanborn suggests that we can convert the job we have into one we love, not by doing a different job, but by doing the one we have differently. Many of my clients have shared with me that their goal is to make a difference in this world. This book points out that we ALL make a difference in this world every day! The key question is, what KIND of difference am I making? You WILL affect people today, maybe slightly, maybe significantly. Notice how you are making a difference in the lives of others today.

Things Of Greater Value

By M-Power

texasenergyabc.com/site_move/ I’ve had several opportunities to talk to people this week about balancing all of the many demands on their time and resources.  It seems that there are dozens of things every day that pull our attention, and we are in the awkward position of trying to juggle it all.  Fortunately, we all have an internal guidance system that will help us to determine whether we are choosing wisely.  I like the way Hyrum Smith put it in his book, The 10 Natural Laws of Successful Time and Life Management.  Law #3 states, “When your daily activities reflect your governing values, you experience inner peace.”  The times we feel off-balance are the times when we find ourselves sacrificing things of greater value.  Ask yourself how well your typical daily activities reflect what you really believe and value in life. Live on purpose!

The Gold Focus

By M-Power

Greetings Friends!  I’ve noticed a tendency for people to notice their weaknesses, be troubled by them, and focus on them sometimes without giving much credit to their strengths.  But it is your strengths that give you the most power in accomplishing your dreams.  I like the way John C. Maxwell put it in his book, Talent Is Never Enough.  He said, “Focusing on weaknesses instead of strengths is like having a handful of coins – a few made of pure gold and the rest of tarnished copper – and setting aside the gold coins to spend all your time cleaning and shining the copper ones in the hopes of making them look more valuable.  No matter how long you spend on them, they will never be worth what the gold ones are.  Go with your greatest assets; don’t waste your time.” Bring out your gold!

What Will It Take?

By M-Power

Dr. Susan Jeffers asserts in her book, Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway, that at the root of every fear is a common belief – the belief that you can’t handle it.  Once you get past this belief, fear disappears as you realize that you can handle absolutely anything and everything that life brings.  I also like this quote from Les Brown:  “When someone tells me that they tried to reach a goal but couldn’t, I always ask, ‘What was it that you weren’t willing to handle? Are you willing to burn the midnight oil, scrub floors, wash cars, work weekends, take on a second job, get there early and stay late, go back to school?’”  Give up this attitude that you can’t, and start asking how you can. / www.mostwatertraining.com/mac_mac/ http://redmasculinidades.com/unsecured-online-loan  What will it take? – it isn’t over until you win.

Conquering Mountains

By M-Power

Hello Friends! Sir Edmund Hillary, who won worldwide acclaim in 1953 by becoming the first to scale the 29,035-foot summit of Mount Everest, the world’s tallest peak, died this past week.  I am impressed with those who show us, like Hillary, that we can conquer seemingly impossible tasks.  An associate of mine used to sign off on his e-mail messages with this phrase: “Those who say that something is impossible should get out of the way of those of us who are doing it.”  I also like this quote that is attributed to Edmund Hillary: “It is not the mountains we conquer but ourselves.” Good luck with your mountains today!

A Daring Adventure

By M-Power

Good Morning Friends! Last week when I sent a message about facing our giants, I got more responses than normal.  It seems that everyone has current giants.  Our desire for security sometimes gets us stuck on this side of our giants.  I really like what Helen Keller had to say about security – and for those of you who may have forgotten, Helen Keller was both blind and deaf… “Security is mostly a superstition.  It does not exist in nature nor do the children of man as a whole experience it.  Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.  Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.”  – Helen Keller  mortgage market susan tompor Enjoy the adventure!
