“My earliest mentor, W. Clement Stone, was once described as an inverse paranoid. Instead of believing the world was plotting to do him harm, he chose to believe the world was plotting to do him good. Instead of seeing every difficult or challenging event as a negative, he saw it for what it could be — something that was meant to enrich him, empower him, or advance his causes.
What an incredibly positive belief! Imagine how much easier it would be to succeed in life if you were constantly expecting the world to support you and bring you opportunity.

Successful people do just that.”

I’m not good (fill in the word) enough.

We ARE good enough. We are sufficient to the task. Sure we need help and as we take the action the answers are there.

You are needed. Remember these wise words from Helen Keller:

I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.

Never tell yourself no

We would do good to remember Marianne Williamson’s wise words:

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?

(read the entire quote here) Make a difference today as you strive to reach your potential. We need your story.

Chris Brogan and Julien Smith ask the hard question up front enabling us to go deeper with their latest book.

Are You Making Things Happen or Just Making Noise?

Does your answer cause discomfort? This too shall pass. My discomfort is the catalyst for change. Chris and Julien deliver bite-sized actions we can bank on. These guys know how to get us over the top. See you there soon.

How far will that victory take you today?

Where do you need to reach today to be your best? Your previous success encourages growth today. Are you better than yesterday?

Your growth today ensures your best future. What do you see for tomorrow? To ensure you can reach those dreams pin them on action today.

Enjoy your triumph. Glad you are on the mark.

Kevin Koym said it wonderfully when he reminded me that “… the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:45 NIV)

Keeping up is not enough, you need passion to move ahead and be the servant leader the world needs.

What are you waiting for?

“Don’t prepare. Begin.
Remember, our enemy is not lack of preparation; it’s not the difficulty of the project, or the state of the marketplace or the emptiness of our bank account.
The enemy is our chattering brain, which, if we give it so much as a nanosecond, will start producing excuses, alibis, transparent self-justifications and a million reasons why we can’t/shouldn’t/won’t do what we know we need to do.
Start before you’re ready.
Good things happen when we start before we’re ready. For one thing, we show huevos. Our blood heats up. Courage begets more courage. The gods, witnessing our boldness, look on in approval.”
