"There are hazards in everything one does, but there are greater hazards in doing nothing."

Get out there and do something today.
Why?   

A better question is WHY NOT?

"The whole world steps aside for the man who knows where he is going."
-Anonymous-

Which leads to the question: Are people stepping aside for you?

If not---back to the think tank, drawing board, or goals hotbed. Onward...

Blog Quote #682...

Here's Blog Quote #682...
"If people only knew how hard I work to gain my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all."
-Michelangelo-

An eye opening statement. I think this relates to all people who are masters at what they do. They weren't 'born' with it. Might have had some tendencies, but between birth and mastery--there were countless hours of time, sweat, and effort piled into their excellence. 

Don't kid yourself into thinking otherwise. When people, say, "I'd give anything to be able to do that"...would they?  If they truly knew all the perspiration and elbow grease expended, their true answer might be different!

 Food for thought...

Key words...of his own making. This is called accountability and ownership. 

Great advice.

Blog Quote #680

Here's Blog Quote #680...
"Difficulties are meant to rouse,not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong-by conflict."
-William Ellery Channing-

Sooner or later, life will present each one of us with certain difficulties, of all shapes, sizes, and magnitudes. It's just part of the deal. 

So...those who look for the silver lining, and suck it up, and deal with difficulties with the best possible attitude- have the likeliest chance of coming out on top, in the long run.

As Channing suggests here--challenges help the human spirit grow stronger. Something to remember,  WHEN the next difficulty comes our way. Not IF, but WHEN.

"If you're not fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm."
-Vince Lombardi-

Love this quote for 3 reasons:

1. It's succinct.
2. It's filled with irony.
3. It's suggestive and offers both good advice and warning.

Thanks, Coach.
