Meaningful Mondays - Arrows Out

Can someone be motivated to cheat?

- Randy Glenn

Motivation is all about obtaining (the carrot or the stick). Inspiration is all about becoming. Motivation is temporary. Inspiration is eternal.

Principles of Leadership from Coach John Wooden

What are you grateful for right now, right here?

"I believe that things turn out best for those that make the best of the way things turn out."

The Gratitude Trick - Taking Gratitude to 10X

As you consciously practice principles of gratitude, these acts of gratitude evolve into habits; as you nurture those habits, those habits evolve into traits that become your true character. Gratitude then becomes the light that unconsciously illuminates others, giving them the inspiration to do the same.

I have something I've wanted to tell you for some time.

Mama Knows Best

My mom passed away Jan 4, 2015. But, she gave me the greatest advice just a few days ago. Hugs are the universal medicine!

“I have learned that there is more power in a good strong hug than in a thousand meaningful words.”
– Ann Hood

If you are the gardener, where is your garden?

"A plowed garden can't determine what it will grow. It simply waits for the seeds to be planted, eager to nourish them and turn them into the gardener's desire."
- Lee Brower

The subconscious mind makes no distinction between constructive and destructive thought impulses. It works with the material we feed it, through our thought impulses. The subconscious mind will translate into reality a thought driven by fear, just as readily as it will translate into reality a thought driven by courage or faith.
- Napoleon Hill

I sat next to a Princess. Let me tell you what I learned.

“Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.”
- Norman Cousins

“We lived for days on nothing but food and water.”
- W.C. Fields

“We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action.”
