notes

I think this is more perception than reality

looks like he doesn't quite know what is expected of him and his team mates are on different wavelengths

You have a short memory, are naive or having too black and white a view of life.

remind me of an old sports car. Was great in its day, but the more you try to tweak little bits of the original, the weaker it starts to get. What we need is a new car. Out with the old, in with the new.

everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die

pull him down syndrome

Three Questions

We all face disappointments and setbacks. Everyone has times in their life when they ask themselves such questions as “is it all worthwhile,” “am I really on the right path” and “ why is it so hard?”

These are not ordinary moments…these are life-defining moments. So when you find yourself at one of these crossroads ask yourself these three questions:

1. Do I love what I do? An old cliche goes, “If you love what you do you’ll never work a day in your life” No one loves everything about what they do. However, you must love the core cause and the mission behind what you do.

2. Do I have the talents to succeed at it? This is a good question because you may love what you’re doing but have no chance at ever being successful at it. If you don’t believe me just watch American Idol. You must be brutally honest with yourself when you ask this question. You must also solicit the opinions of people you trust who will be brutally honest with you.

3. Does what I’m doing have potential? You may love what you do and have the talent to do it, but there’s no potential in it. An example is Will Smith trying to sell high-powered X-ray machines in The Pursuit of Happyness. What you’re doing must have opportunity and potential.

If you answered “NO” to any of these questions you need to do as we say in Texas: ”Dismount a Dead Horse.” Change directions as quickly as possible. Find something you love to do that has potential and that brings your talents to light.

If you answered “YES” to all three questions, chances are you’re just in a lull. This is the time when you must re-group, re-focus and re-fire. You may need to analyze the situation and try a different strategy. And, you may have to get creative and think out of the box.

However, if you have the talent, passion and potential then you can move forward confidently, knowing that you will succeed because you are on the right path. Remember that life’s greatest victories are usually just inches away from life’s biggest setbacks.

There’s power in dreams

There’s power in dreams. From all that I have seen time and time again, 90% of success derives from having a dream. Dreams are what will drive you to the next level. They are the targets you are striving for that move you in the direction of your ultimate destination.

Goals are dreams with deadlines. Goals are a means of measuring results and keeping score.Most people don’t know what they really want so they wander around with no clarity about what they want to do or have in life. They have no purpose and, therefore, they have no passion.

The top salespeople know what they want. They have specific goals and dreams that they are shooting for and they stay clearly focused on their target until they hit them.

I have found that the biggest mistake people make is not writing down what they want. You may have thought a lot about your goals and dreams, but if they aren’t written down, I’ll be willing to bet you aren’t getting the results you desire. If you truly want results, you must get them on paper.

So, do this: Make a list of 5 things you want to accomplish personally and 5 things you want to accomplish professionally in the next year.

SEVEN STEPS TO BUILD HOPE

The following seven steps will help you build “HOPE” and a solid foundation for a spectacular life:

1) Goals – Many people have lost hope because they’ve lost their dream. As a result, they lose focus on the targets to shoot for in life. The lack of clarity breeds a lack of hope. On the other hand, when you have clearly written and defined goals you will gain power in the present because you will know the targets to laser in on that will brighten your future.

2) Attitude – Our attitude is our choice. We can’t always control what happens to us but we can control how we act or react. We can choose to read good positive books and listen to inspiring audio programs or we can choose to turn on the negative news and listen to those who say it can’t be done. Whatever you feed into your mind you will project into your outer world. People with a positive attitude have a positive expectancy, which means they have hope.

3) Responsibility – People with hope accept full responsibility for where they are in life and where they are going. To gain hope, you have to become a no excuses person. When you discover that you are in charge of your own success you will realize that you can change your future and increase your level of hope.

4) Words – The words you speak to yourself out loud and in your mind will determine your future outlook. What you tell yourself eventually becomes reality. People with hope stay positive by continually telling themselves “I am healthy, I’m wealthy, I feel good, I feel great, my time has come and I will not be denied.” Tell yourself, “I am born to win, today is my day, no excuses and the world is at my fingertips.” If you repeat these phrases consistently, you will develop hope in the future.

5) Action – People with hope take action daily. No one feels up all the time. However, people with hope discipline themselves to take certain actions everyday. Action creates the desire to move you in a direction that makes you feel good. Action promotes hope.

6) Faith – Faith is the belief or feeling of certainty that something good is going to happen. Hope and faith are related to each other. Faith increases your trust in a higher power and says, “God’s not finished with me yet and my best days are in front of me.” People with hope have the attitude that “It’s all good.”

7) Growth – There’s a basic rule in life that says we are either growing or we are dying. This rule applies to grass, trees, homes, marriages, life, and hope. People with hope understand that life is a journey not a destination. They also know that, “How they handle the journey will determine their destination.” People with hope are proactive and they take on the day like there’s no tomorrow.
