Hello
Friends!
Here is a message of POWER and PASSION to get your week started with
ENTHUSIASM!
Please feel free to share it with your friends and associates.
BELIEVE!
Do you believe in what you do? Do you believe in your goals?
Do you believe you can live the life you want to both personally and
professionally?
A major difference between happy, content people and those who just go
through the motions of life is a strong internal belief system.
Why do only a handful of people achieve their definition of success in
all aspects of their lives? Well because few people are willing to be
passionate about their belief that achieving your dreams IS possible.
Don't give your goals and aspirations in life
lip service!
BELIEVE that you can get to where ever it is that you want to be in your
career, family life, personal development, interpersonal relationships
and recreational endeavors. It is perfectly OK to get discouraged and
downright upset sometimes
when things just don't seem to be happening like you want them to
happen. In fact, don't ever let anyone tell you that expressing emotion
is weak. Only the strongest and most truly successful people allow
themselves to show vulnerability.
If you bottle up disappointment and push it away without allowing
yourself to feel it, it will destroy you. So allow yourself to feel bad
sometimes and get the emotions out. It's even OK to CONSIDER
quitting. Yet if you really BELIEVE in the depths of your heart and soul
that something is right for you, you will never allow yourself to quit.
You see, by allowing yourself to feel discouraged and to
even consider quitting, you are actually making yourself much stronger
with a much more solid belief system.
Researchers at Trinity University discovered that human beings ALWAYS
think most about thoughts they are trying to suppress. So don't suppress
your feelings of discouragement - get them out
and you will find that your will to achieve your goals is even stronger
than you ever though it could be.
Also, it's perfectly OK to not know how you are going to achieve a
certain thing in your life. This could be a professional or a personal
goal. Maybe you want to be top salesperson, be financially independent,
spend more quality time with your family or find a spouse that offers
mutual love and understanding. If you BELIEVE it will happen then it
WILL happen.
Never try to trick yourself out of feeling emotions that are perfectly
human. Allowing yourself to feel those emotions makes you healthier,
stronger and more able to BELIEVE that what you want IS possible.
Have a week filled with PASSION!
LAUGH-A-DAY
Here is the perfect answering machine message:
"Hello, you are talking to a machine. I am capable of receiving
messages. My owners do not need siding, windows, or a hot tub, and their
carpets are clean. They give to charity through the office and don't
need their picture taken. They are also VERY happy with their current
phone service. If you're still with me, leave your name and number and
they will get back to you."
QUOTE-OF-THE-DAY
"Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation.
Your character is what you really are while your reputation is merely
what others think you are."
- John Wooden
