Effort drives success more than talent. That’s how i represented, at age 50, the USA in the 2009 Masters Track and Field World Championships in Finland. It’s how i published a book in 2013. It’s why i am currently (2020) the unofficial world record holder for most blog posts by a single author (record is 17,212 posts, i’m closing in on 21,000).

Announce it when you’re done

Character is the ability to carry out a worthy decision after the emotion of making that decision has passed.

Hyrum Smith

There’s a sense of accomplishment simply from announcing you are going to do something, like write a book. Announcing is a procrastinator’s miracle drug. Nothing has been accomplished but it feels like a big step has been made. Keep it to yourself and do the work first, then announce your results.

Do you have enough of this to last a lifetime?

Disney Keynote Speaker jeff noel
At least a million…enough to last a lifetime of distractions, naysayers, temptation, pain, hurt, regret, failure, etc.

 

Do you have enough of this to last a lifetime?

What?

Motivation.

Motivation is like a fire, unless you continue to add fuel to it, it will go out.

The harsh reality, positive change will never come

motivational quote
From social media yesterday, no attribution available.

 

When you convince yourself that you want something (elusive), you will never get it until one thing happens.

For example, do you desire to be positive all the time, but fall back into negative, self-destructive habits?

The harsh reality is this will never change.

Not until you want this change as badly as you want your next breath – only then will you have a fighting chance.

Best wishes for this reminder to be a positive catalytic moment for you.
