ARE YOU CONVINCED YOU CAN DO IT?

Are You Convinced You Can Do It? 


Harvey Mackay, author of Swim with the Sharks once said this.


The hardest sale 

you’ll ever make 

is to yourself.


Once you’re convinced 

you can do it,
you can.


What have you done once you convinced yourself you could?

Businesses have been launched.
Political offices have been earned.
Large bank accounts have grown even larger.
The big LEAP has happened because someone screwed their courage to the sticking place and made the leap.

It starts with conviction that the THING can be done by YOU! 

Well then ... GO DO IT!

A Skilled Sailor

 A Skilled Sailor 

What do you know about being a skillful sailor? This I know.


Anybody can sail on a smooth sea, but when the winds blow, I want a skillful sailor.

I love having a peaceful life. Peaceful lives are the dream of all mankind. And I don’t know any successful individuals who have lived a totally peaceful life.

You see, the rough winds that tear at your sails, the rough seas that we must navigate, the hard times we endure are the lessons that teach us the most about navigating life.

In the last few years, I’ve read or listened to the biographies of some famous men and women. The one thing they have in common is this – they didn’t have an easy life and success did not come to them overnight nor on a silver platter.

Adversity is a great teacher. It teaches one to sail in all winds.

Of Course You're Going to Face Fear


Of Course, You’re Going to Face Fear

“I would go out and run a marathon … but I might not finish.”
“I would write that great American novel … but it might not sell.”
“I would sing a solo … but I might mess up.”
“I would get married … but I might end up divorced.”

WoW!  Fears abound.

And we face them anyway.

Tell me … what endeavor in life is without fear?

And we do it anyway!

That is all I have to say for today.

One Thought That Makes a Difference


One Thought That Makes a Difference

Just for today, hold this one thought in your mind above all others.

I Can!

Our thoughts at the beginning of any challenge we face are the most critical ones as to our ability to conquer. 

It’s the old – You Can If You Think You Can!

And YOU CAN!

The Importance of Attention


The Importance of Attention

I just drove 1 ½ hours to my work place for the day in deep snow.  I made it because I paid attention. 

Paying attention, or the lack thereof, afflicts us in every moment of life.  We pay attention to conversations, on the job, when driving, minding our kids, writing, speaking, listening.

I’m all for harsh penalties for those who text and drive.  That is NOT paying attention to the proper focus in life at that moment.

Have a great day.
