If you want something bad enough, then do something about it!
~ Lindsey Rietzsch
Don't be in a hurry to achieve your dreams. Take a day to play with your kids and relax - your dreams will still be there tomorrow.
When you find a way to incorporate your goals and dreams with what you enjoy most, then you have found success!
Having a positive attitude gives you the power to uplift, the power to create change, the power to motivate, the power to inspire, the power to influence, the power to cultivate happiness, and the list goes on.
The world has enough deceit, decay, and despair; be different.
Sometimes we are tested with a great idea or opportunity just to see if we will act upon it, however the timing may not be right. We are being prepared for something else down the road... When we understand that all things happen for our benefit and we trust in the Lord, then we can accept what we have termed as failures knowing that in the end it will all work out and we will be happy.
When we are at peace within our marriage, the effects can be astounding! We will raise happier children, become better employees, and overall find the joy in life.
Live each day as if it could be the last day that you spend with your husband or wife.
As spouses, we play a big role in the development of each other's self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-worth. An entire personality can be destroyed and a marriage ripped apart over the course of just months. It's important that husbands and wives take this subject seriously and learn to build each other up through the simple concepts of dating. It's critical that the older we get, the younger we feel. As the years pass, our attitudes towards each other and our relationships should become more positive and our lives more meaningful.
Marriage can and should be the greatest thing that happens to you in this life, along with having children. We need to make the most of it and work to make it that great experience we dreamed about when we were young.
The way you date(treat) your spouse, truly has an impact inside and outside of your marriage.
Ask any successfully married couple what keeps their relationship alive and they will tell you, interest. It's as simple as that.
The more interest you show in your spouse, the more interest your spouse will show in you.
In this changing world around us we can't help but change. Change is what makes our relationships so interesting! without it there wouldn't be anything new happening in our lives. Your job as an equal in your relationship is to look for change in your spouse and embrace it. When you show a devoted interest in every talent, hobby, desire, passion or goal that your spouse tosses on the table, you are telling your spouse that he/she is important to you. The favor will be returned tenfold. Life will become more interesting!
Forget about trying to fix your spouse's flaws. Instead, focus your attention on aspects and characteristics that you enjoy most.
Now, I don't smile because I have a perfect life or even because I'm having a perfect day - I smile because that's how I choose to deal with whatever life throws my way.
Putting 100% effort into trying will always make you successful. With that in mind it's important to remember that the effort part is never easy.
Do we need to wait until the next life to experience true happiness? Of course not; we can experience it now. By making that choice to be happy and optimistic, we can have a little bit of Heaven on Earth.
Hope is what keeps us hanging on when we feel our rope wearing out. A positive attitude is often the natural result of maintaining that hope.
If you want to know whether or not you have had a successful life, think about what people would say about you at your own funeral.
If you don't believe in yourself, who will?
To fail at trying is worse than to fail after trying. If we never try, then we never learn.
It's vital to our survival to be positive.
If you have friends and family who love you unconditionally - you truly have everything!
Having a positive attitude gives you power. This isn't the same kind of power that dictators and warlords seek after, but rather a spiritual power. It's a power that comes to us from God.
There is good all around us, but we get so used to it that we forget to celebrate it. The bad and unfortunate circumstances in our lives do not deserve all of our attention and energy. Remember to look for the good and to give that your full time and attention. It makes all the difference.
When we are blinded by our frustration and devastation we become oblivious to the life preserver floating inches away from us. If we take a minute to think positive, utilize our faith, and become proactive, we are able to think rationally and clearly. We then will recognize the life preserver which will keep us afloat and help us get to our destination.
Forget about what you might have lost but instead focus on what you have room to gain.
Boredom is a positive attitude's enemy.
Boredom is the Devil's delight.
All too often we fail to see the good in a difficult situation. Our minds are wired in such a funny way that we tend to believe just because a door closed it must be a bad thing.
If we never experienced the the valuable lessons from failure, then we would never truly appreciate the pure joy of our success.
What kind of legacy will you leave behind? What will your children and your children's children say about you? How will you be remembered? Will your life and decisions have inspired others to do better? Life is too short to postpone it - choose to be positive today.
A closed door really is an open door in disguise.
Staying true to who you are is essential to anyone's success.
You don't have to be successful on a grand scale like winning a talent competition or writing a New York Times bestseller - if you have enough small things that you can be successful at then eventually they outshine all your failures.
I would rather be known as someone who tried and failed, than someone who never tried at all.
Confidence comes from within. You teach people how to perceive you, by your own example of how you perceive yourself. If you believe in yourself that confidence shines through and others will believe in you too.
When its no longer just about you and the sake of succeeding just to succeed, you will see miracles happen!
To quit is to fail - as long as you are still in the game you are succeeding!
