Another Day To Start Again

Every morning, if we're blessed to have our eyes open to another new day, we have the opportunity to start over again. What's the #1 thing you can start doing today that will put you on the path to your dreams?

Commitment

There's a big difference between the will to win and the will to do what it takes to win.

Progress Principle

Harvard's Teresa Amabile found that making progress on important work was one of the biggest motivators at work.  In fact, making progress on meaningful work was a key feature of 76% of all people's best days.  She called this the Progress Principle.    #personaldevelopment

Personal Development

If you're not encountering defeat on a fairly regular basis, you're not trying hard enough.   #personaldevelopment 

Pursuing Your Potential

The only thing more difficult than the emotional toil of pursuing your potential is the emotional toil of not pursuing your potential.   #personaldevelopment 

Personal Growth

Personal growth comes at the point of resistance.  We grow and learn by pushing ourselves and finding what lies at the outer reaches of our ability.

Personal Growth

In the long run, painful losses may prove much more valuable than wins. Those who are armed with a healthy attitude and are able to draw wisdom from every experience, "good" or "bad," are the ones who make it down the road to success. They are also the ones who are happier along the way.

 

Personal Productivity System

Systematize your time to optimize your day, so that you never have to say, it's too late!

       

Motivation

One of the oldest motivators of all: competition.  Someone is always chasing you!

Attitude

University of North Carolina's Barbara Fredrickson discovered "the positivity ratio," or the fact that it takes three positive thoughts to counter a single negative thought. She's quoted, "Three-to-one, is the ratio we've found to be the tipping point beyond which the full impact of positive emotions becomes unleashed."
