"When you own your own business, you only have to work half days. Your biggest challenge is to figure which 12 hours to work."
-Bill Tully-
As I sit here in the late hours of Good Friday, trying to wrap things up, I smile. This quote is so much truer, than any self-employed person wants to admit.
With that stated, that's part of the climb. Part of the fun. If it was easy it wouldn't be nearly as satisfying. Also, when something is done without much effort, anyone and everyone can do it, lessening the joy of the accomplishment.
Hats off to all those hard working business owners out there on the planet. When all is said and done, put in the sweat-- you'll be happy what you get.
That's my view...what say you?

Here's Blog Quote #490...
What makes greatness is starting something that lives-- after you."
-Ralph Sockman-
For me, it's always been can I leave the world a better place than it was when I came in? Sure I plan on leaving a memory or two with the lives of peopel I touch along the way.
In addition to that,what I strive for is for when I'm onto the next life-- if I can leave behind VALUE.
Might not be in the physical form, but lessons in character, integrity, honesty. Always trying to do the right thing. Be good to others. Help others. Less bad stuff. More good stuff. Less of Me and more about YOU.
Attending a funeral, I once heard a eulogy that seemed to sum things up quite TIDY. Live your life to help show and teach your children/ loved ones how to get into heaven.
Pretty good stuff there!

"One day, your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it's worth watching."
-Anonymous-
This another of those to get you thinking--- are you LIVING life, or, are you mailing it in, and going through the motions?
I've often wondered why--- with such a cool world, and 82 zillion things to do, people to meet, and places to see, why someone would choose-- to not take a bite out of life, each and EVERY day.
Something to marinate over.
Hmmm...

Heres Blog quote #488...
"I ve learned so much from my mistakes, I'm thinking of making a few more."
-Helen Diehl-
Simply BRILLIANT.
This should be required reading for every kid in every grammar school, high school and college, on the planet.
Read it once a month. Every month. Of every year.
Adults-- ok for you to heed this advice as well.
Mistakes are good. Assuming that we glean the lessons from them, and use it to our advantage to improve and get better.
End of class for today...

"Tell the negative committee that meets inside your head to sit down and shut up."
-Ann Bradford-
Kind of a humorous quote, yet it's so true. Tell me that all of us, at times, don't have way too many negative thoughts cruising around in our brains daily.
I read somewhere that we have about 60,000 thoughts a day. Wonder just how many of them are negative?
Now that we are aware of that, as well as that silly little committee, we know what to do with it. Only takes a second to CHANGE those thoughts--- from negative to positive.

"The person who is afraid to risk failure seldom has to face success."
-Coach John Wooden-
Ok-- we are on a roll here with the Coach.
Isn't this so true? Easy to stay in our comfort zone. Not do anything wild, out of the ordinary. Not risk some potential failure, disappointment, and of course, the critics. Sadly, the critics are usually in the stands, not risking anything either. Always simple to comment and find fault on the trials and tribulations of others.
But where is the fun in not trying something new? Something of a challenge. As the old saying goes.. "Don't be afraid to go out on a limb-- as that's where the fruit lies."
Always remember trying and failing-- 100% of the time-- trumps not trying and succeeding. For what has the non try-er succeeded at--other than Doing Nothing. The person who attempts is sure to learn something from the experience, and might just succeed. In actuality, with persistence, the tryer will very likely succeed. And what a wonderous feeling THAT is!

"Dogs and people can come into your life as blessings or lessons. We learn things from both but honestly, dogs have taught me MUCH more about being a better person than people ever have."
-C. Goede-
At first, this might get met with much agreement -- due to the fact of the massive love for our 4 legged friends. But HOLD the fort. It's a darn strong statement!
I'm not quite sure about this, but...not, not sure either
HMMM...
What I am certain of is-- I HAVE DEFINITELY learned much from my 3 dogs over the years. What I'd pass along to anyone who would listen is... GET ONE.
Could be your best move--- EVER.
Come to think of it--can't think of anything bad they've taught me, and a laundry list of good. My fellow humans-- of course learning plenty good... but there's stuff I' d like to erase from the memory bank as well. Perhaps too much?
That's my view...what say you?
