Motivational.. Tuesday!

"I will persist until I succeed.

I was not delivered into this world into defeat, nor does failure course through my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepherd. I am a lion and I refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep with the sheep.

The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny.

I will persist until I succeed."

-The Greatest Salesman In the World

To "live" means...

"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all." -Oscar Wilde

We always see quotes that are urging us to "live life to the fullest" and "live in the moment" but what do these quotes really mean? What are they really telling us to do? Ever thought about it?

What I interpret these quotes to mean is that we should live in the NOW, in the present. Now your probably saying, well how am I not living in the present? I shall explain further.. our minds are continuously thinking, of memories, past events, future events, future problems and whatever else that you may find yourself thinking of. Living in the present means to stop thinking of the past and the future, be aware of what is happening RIGHT NOW. Fully involve yourself with the things you do, and the activities that you take on.

Don't let yourself run on auto-pilot, remember the movie Click? That is an example of an extreme way of portraying not fully "living" life. Don't just coast your way through life, take in the scenery and really enjoy it. Life could be so much worse for you than most of us realize. There are people all around the country and world who aren't even able to eat a decent meal. Always remain thankful because nothing lasts forever.

Keep in mind: Positive thoughts = positive emotions

Motivation, a Necessity

"People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily." -Zig Ziglar

Motivation is something that we all need to stay in contact with. It's what gets us through those long days you think will never end. It keeps you from crying that one last time after you were dumped by your significant other or keeps you going after your dreams when everything else seems to be going wrong. That's what this quote is trying to say. Motivation is something that has to constantly be renewed daily, sometimes less often sometimes more often but no matter the situation keep your chin up and keep going because it could always get worse, there is always someone worse off than you, and only YOU can make things better for yourself. Remember people, positive thoughts = positve emotions. :)

Peace, Love, & Happiness
