"Life is too short to be living somebody else's dream." ~ Hugh Hefner
“Life is too short
to be living
somebody else’s
dream.” 

Hugh Hefner

“Deep within man
dwell those slumbering powers;
powers that would
astonish him,
that he never dreamed of possessing;
forces that would
revolutionize his life
if aroused and put into action.”
~ Orison Swett Marden

 

“When you reach the point
when you believe in yourself absolutely,
the barriers that exist in your external world
will not stop you. 

As soon as you win the inner battle,
the outer battle seems to take care of itself.”

~ Brian Tracy

 


“You were designed for accomplishment ,

engineered for success

and endowed with the seeds of greatness.”
~ Zig Ziglar

Zig Ziglar will go down in the record books as one of the greatest storytellers,
motivational speakers and authors in the field of personal development
in all of human history.

I have been studying the late Mr. Ziglars’ books, speeches, mannerisms,
wisdom and philosophies for over 5 years now.  His teachings have molded
my life and will effect the way in which I set goals and make decision
for the rest of my life.

Zig Ziglar mastered the art of public speaking and clearly defined the master plan
for setting goals and maximum personal achievement.
He passed away at the age of 86 yesterday.
His legacy will live on forever in the tens of thousands of people he has inspired to live life to its fullest potential.

I look forward to spreading his message and inspiring others to do the same, as he has done for me.

Here are 5 of my favorite quotes from Zig Ziglar;

1. “Make today worth remembering.”

2. “Failing is an event, not a person. Yesterday ended last night.”

3. “The more you are grateful for what you have the more you will have to be grateful for”

4. “The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what you want most for what you want right now”

5. “You were born to win, but to be a winner you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.”

“At the center of your being

you have the answer;
you know who you are
and you know what you want.”
~ Lao Tzu

Everything you need to accomplish your goals and dreams is already within you. You have all the answers and you know exactly what you need to do.

For a many years I watched myself denying the things that I knew were right and correct in any given moment. I would regularly betray myself, finding anything and everything to distract from doing what I knew clearly in my mind to be exactly what needed to be done.

Listen to your heart and break the cycle of self denial.  You only get one ride on this rollercoaster of life.

So sit up front, raise your hands and scream as loud as you can!

 

“Yes, you got to be strong
And be all the best you can
The world is out there, conquer your fear
And don’t you wait too long”

 

 

Be Strong ~ Sizzla

 

Yes, you got to be strong
And be all the best you can
The world is out there, conquer your fear
And don’t you wait too long
