Quote #332, My Thoughts and YOUR thoughts

Here goes Blog quote #332...

"If you hear a voice within you say you cannot paint, then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced."
-Vincent Van Gogh-

Being one of thee most famous painters in all of history, probably not a bad guy to listen to. This quote seems to be more about FEAR than anything else. Sometimes fear is simply the risk of trying the unknown or uncomfortable. Once you dive in the water and get into action, things usually arent so 'scary.'

Jump in, test the waters. Get into action. What follows may be surprising to you, and downright pleasing.

Quote #331, My Thoughts and YOUR thoughts

Here goes Blog quote #331...

"The question isn't... what are we going to do today; the question is... what aren't we going to do today?"
-Ferris Bueller-

Come on. You know you LOVED this movie. One of the classics of all time. So many good lines in this, that you have to watch it 3-4 times to absorb them all. Movies like that rock!

Well, not sure about you but I'm going to have some serious fun(oxymoron) this weekend. Might I suggest, like Ferris Bueller, you do the same?

Here goes Blog quote #330...

"Happiness is a place between too much and too little."
-Finnish Proverb-

There is something to be said for moderation isn't there? Even Moderation :) Every once in a while those middle of the roaders need to just 'go nuts' or 'hog wild' if you prefer that term. Other times, MOTR's need to totally back it down and do nothing. CHILL.

Quote #328, My Thoughts and YOUR thoughts

Here goes Blog quote #328...

"The difference on what we do and what we are capable of doing would solve most of the worlds problems."
-Gandhi-

I had to think on that one for a minute or two. Ponder, hmm, ponder.

War and Peace. Poverty and Wealth. Crime and Safety. Hate and Love. Innovation to deal with all of life's challenges, as we evolve.

Hmm. The more I think on this quote, the more darn accurate I believe it is.

Quote #327, My Thoughts and YOUR thoughts

Here goes Blog quote #327

"While one person hesitates because he feels inferior, the other is busy making mistakes and becoming superior."
-Henry C. Link-

How do you get better?
By trying new things.
By pushing yourself.
By getting out of your comfort zone.

By failing ,TEMPORARILY. We've discussed many times that mistakes and "failures" really are the stepping stones to improvement, to increasing your talents and skills, and ultimately, more successes.

Get out there and make some mistakes on your way to success. Get out of the stands, onto the court, and into the game.

Quote #326, My Thoughts and YOUR thoughts

Here goes Blog quote #326...

"If you arent fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm."
-Vince Lombardi-

Once again , gotta love those double meaning quotes! Depending on who your boss(coach) is, losing your job/position over a lack of enthusiasm may or may not actually happen. It is however, enough reason to GET SOME ENTHUSIASM.

To me, enthusiasm is like oil to a car, like peanuts to peanut butter, like Guinness on tap to an Irish pub. It helps make everything work better. If you look back thorough history, you'll be hard pressed to find many things that weren't accomplished without some good enthusiasm. As a bonus, it's more fun to be FIRED UP.

If your enthusiastic, spread it. If you aren't, get some cooking. You'll be glad you did.
