simple as that.

Never be satisfied.  Never be content.  Never stop at ‘good enough.’

You’re better than that.

Reach beyond the stars.

Reach a goal?  Set another.


You can always do more and be more.

On Top of the World

“Psychology Today” describes ‘motivation’ as:

‘[Motivation] is literally the desire to do things. It's the difference between waking up before dawn to pound the pavement and lazing around the house all day. It's the crucial element in setting and attaining goals—and research shows you can influence your own levels of motivation and self-control. So figure out what you want, power through the pain period, and start being who you want to be.’

What a great insight!! When you want to make something happen and it is a process (like most things are), you may need that motivation to stay inspired and keep on working for what you want!!

You can do it!! The limit does not exist!

To the Left, To the Left, You're Irreplaceable!

I would bet that everyone reading this has wondered what the purpose of his or her life will be.

What do you want to be?  What type of legacy will you leave?  Why are you alive?

Most people will try to make their own answer, which is probably the most correct, because you get to make your life.  You are given certain characteristics and environments that you cannot control, and the rest is up to you to decide your being and outcome.

One thing people like to be is irreplaceable.  What better feeling is there than to be needed and appreciated?  Your legacy would be simply unique if you are irreplaceable.

This article from entrepreneur.com gives us five ways to become just that.

Those five ways are:
1. Do the un-required work
2. Get rid of toxic people
3. Put people first but take care of you
4. Differentiate yourself
5. Be about that action

Five ways to take action to becoming irreplaceable seems too easy, and it probably is right away.  However, once you start, those types of actions will become habit and before you realize it-to the left, to the left-you’re irreplaceable!

Take A Chance

Link>>  Take A Chance
This is a follow up from our last post on following your dreams.  Jim Carrey gives this great speech and includes a personal story about his dad.  The main lesson to take away from this is to forget about security and safety and do something that you love and that makes you happy!!

How to Start a Movement-Derek Sivers at Ted

Hint: It takes two!
I love this video!!
This is a great talk about leadership and followers and how there isn’t really a leader if no one is following him/her!  Also, Derek talks about how if there is someone who has an awesome idea and you want to stand behind him or her, it’s your passion too, do it and more will follow!  Then your movement is started!  Take the courage to step up and work at your goals and you will get there!
