Do you have the Guts here?

Blog quote #864...
"Don't be too timid or squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment." -Ralph Waldo Emerson-

One last quote for this extra day of February.
If you dare to dig into this statement, it's quite accurate. So go for it, if you have the guts.

It's all about the CHOICES...isn't it?

Blog quote #864...
"It is our choices, Harry, that show us what we truly are, far more than our abilities." -Albus Dumbledore-

You never know who will be quoted at the Smile-Therapy Think Tank...even Harry Potter greats!

Well Ol' Albus  reminds us that our CHOICES are HUGE, and cannot be emphasized enough. Be certain to make good ones-- today, tomorrow, and everyday!

Quote about--THE CHAIR?

Blog quote #863...
"It's a sure sign of summer if the chair gets up when you do." -Walter Winchell-

A subtle weight loss tip/warning here?  Or  was he talking about the chair being all hot and sticky? You make the call. 

Either way, we got a chuckle from this line...

A unique thought on RELAXING...

Blog quote #862...
"Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if the axis on which the world earth revolves---slowly, evenly,without rushing toward the future. Live the actual moment." -Thich Nhat Hahn-

Just a nice thought on this Friday, to help us all, slow down a smidgeon. 
Ahhhhhhh.."

Old age humor...

Blog quote #861...
"You know you're getting old when your back starts going out more than you do." -Phyllis Diller-

Some say there is a lot of truth, in sarcasm and jokes. We agree. 
Phyllis Diller was a talent! Thanks for the laughs, PD.

Dig In and Get after it!

Blog quote #860...
"You've got three choices in  life: Give up. Give in, or  give it all you got." -Jesse Owens-

Appropriate timing here as the movie 'RACE' is coming out in theatres now and speaks well for the character of this amazing man.

Owens himself added to this quote.. "A lifetime of training, for just 10 seconds." 

For those unaware, Owens was the world champion runner for the 100 meter dash. Is there any question which of the three above Owens selected? Is there any question which one we should also select? 

For what it's worth, we say..."It's life. We only get to go around the merry-go-round once. Get after it, and DIG IN!"

Movement doesn't just happen-- it's DECIDED

Blog quote #859...
"You'll never leave where you are, until you decide where you'd rather be." -Robert Brockman-

This applies to all shapes and sizes of things in life. Want that milkshake at Cold Stone Creamery? You won't get it until you DECIDE you want it and are going to motivate yourself to go after it. 

It's the same with much bigger goals and dreams in life. You aren't moving from your current status(job, better tennis player, higher degree, etc)--until you DECIDE this is what I want and, I will now PLAN MY WAY to go get it. 

A very deep and profound statement by Mr. Brockman.

Something all of us should STOP looking for...

Blog quote #858..
"Quit looking for reasons you can't accomplish something." -Rich Digirolamo-


Whatever  we look for, we'll certainly find. And of course in the world we live in, it's not overly difficult to find doubt, fear, negativity, anxiety, and pessimism. Stop looking for it and start focusing on what you CAN get done!

Don't we all need to read this at least once a year, if not once every six months, or even each quarter?  Kick the "t" off of the can't.

Onward...

Laugh--any time you can?

Blog quote #857..
"I have always felt that laughter- in the face of reality is probably the finest sound there is--and will last until the day when the game is called on account of darkness. In this world, a good time to laugh--is any time you can." -Linda Ellerbee-

Love the wording  'until the day the game is called on account of darkness'(i.e. the end of the world.)

I  agree wholeheartedly with Ellerbee's thoughts here. I've always believed the world is way too serious. Furthermore, us humans think we are much more important, significant, and in control of things...than we truly are. Just my 2 cents.

A word on LEADERSHIP...

Blog quote #856..
"Leadership is about going somewhere---If you and your people don't know where you are going, your leadership doesn't matter." -Ken Blanchard-

A quick word of advice, from a man who has studied corporate leadership for 50 years of his life. Also in the writing hall of fame. Thanks, Ken.

Mind Clutter...

Blog quote #856..
"You can't dance if you've got too much muck in your head." -Yoko Ono-

See the word 'dance' in the above quote? You can substitute many other words in there and it holds true. You can't read, play sports, draw, write, sing or do much of anything else -when your mind is cluttered. 

Basically it will stall you, jam you up, cause procrastination, or get you confused. In all honesty, get rid of the muck, junk or clutter in your mind, before attempting to do anything with effectiveness.

The Woman---an incredible creature...

Blog quote #855..
"After all, Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did. She just did it backwards, and in high heels." -Ann Richards, 45th Governor of Texas-

More proof that women can do virtually anything men can do. And many times, an even better job.  

The female race--quite driven, highly skilled, and mentally powerful, yet all with a sensitive side to boot. Awesome!

The legendary Bob Hope speaks...(funny)

Blog quote #853..
"We have 51 golf courses in Palm Springs. He never decides which course he will play until after his first tee shot." -Bob Hope, on Gerald Ford-

Good timing as the pro golf circuit is in the middle of their California swing. This quote brings back memories, from the 'thanks for the memories' king

Bob hope was one funny comedian, clean humor, and was a big helper and supporter of our US military, always traveling overseas to cheer up our  men and women in uniform.

Not a bad move to google Mr. Hope and look up some of his past material. It's pretty darn comical. Bob, thanks for the memories!

Blog quote #852...
"A tiger doesn't lose sleep over the opinion of sheep." -Unknown-

Two quotes on being who you are, and not tremendously concerned with what everyone else thinks.  A couple of excellent reminders that the YOU that YOU ARE-- is pretty awesome and it doesn't matter if you impress anyone or everyone else.

Be you!

The Best Breakfast...?

Blog quote #850..
"Hope...That's what I have for breakfast every morning." -Orlando 'El Duque' Hernandez, Yankee pitcher-

Can you think of a more nutritious, delicious, sustaining and all around good for you meal, to have for breakfast? 

Without HOPE  the days will start out long, then soon will shorten, and might even disappear. Most with no hope, do not last very long. 

Get yourself a bowlful of HOPE tomorrow, and, every morning.

'Get After' Life

Another 'Secret' To HAPPINESS

Blog quote #848..
"The secret of happiness is to count your blessings while others are adding up their troubles." -William Penn-

Too simple to work?
Believe it or not, no, not really. Try it!

Amazing that when we think of all the good we have going on in our lives, it usually dwarfs the few challenges we are facing. 

Another way to find solace, look around--so many others have similar or worse issues than we face, which is always a good perspective shifter as well.

What an EXCITING Thought...

Blog quote #847..
"Do you realize, today is another chance to be great?" -Grand Poobah of Smiles-

That's a pretty cool thought, isn't it? 
The facts are...yesterday has no factor on today. It's done and gone. In the past. The book is closed on yesterday.

Today, on the other hand--is all yours. To do as you please. Go get it. Make something FANTASTIC happen. Something that, hopefully we can all talk about tomorrow with wonderment, or at least a smile...

The Potential Problem with Quick Decisions...

Blog quote #846..
"Delay is preferable to error." -Thomas Jefferson-

Former president TJ  gives us a pithy quote reminding us to not rush to judgment.

Speaking of brevity, don't let the conciseness of this advice lead you to underestimate it's power. Many a quick decision has cost much more in not only financial matters, but ironically, further delays as well.  

Take your time, to determine not the quickest, but the most correct path. Hmm...

Blog quote #843...
"If I could give you one thing in life, I'd give you the ability to see yourself through my eyes. Only then- would you realize how special you are to me." -Dog to owner-
Is this not every dog's thoughts about their owners? Can there be a cooler, more special creature on the planet, than the DOG?
Our educated guess is that any dog owner will highly likely agree to this magnificent and heartwarming quote.

"Silence is not only golden, it is seldom misquoted." -Bob Monkhouse-

On Leadership, and commanding an orchestra

Blog quote #838...

"A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd." -James Crook-
This quote is quite clever. It gives us a very similar analogy to life, itself. 
Leaders have to do what they think is right and what has to be done. They can't be so concerned with popularity contests, or to be in complete agreement with public opinion. It's just the way it is.
