Your results

We like to be a part of something bigger.

We like to be among greatness. Sharing the glory that comes from a common effort.

But in the end, you have to look at your effort and your result. 

What really manner is what you did according on what you can. 

No group success is good enough to replace your own success.

Being among a group doesn’t change your result.

Be proud of your result first.

Give your best!

Do for others what you would like them to do for you.

Don’t expect it back.

“When you are laboring for others let it be with the same zeal as if it were for yourself.”

- Confucius

Put the zeal in everything you do.

“The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.”

- H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

You never go wrong when you put your zeal in doing your best.

Zeal into action to do good will builds a better world. The power is in your hands.

Peace in war?

You can’t fight fire with fire. Trying to do so is foolish.

If you want to win a war, you have to accept that you will have to go in the opposite direction.

“Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind.”

- John F. Kennedy

War is always wrong. You can’t win anything when you kill someone else. You end up with a price to pay for your actions, even if you think they are justified.

“War does not determine who is right - only who is left.”

- Bertrand Russell

When you fight against something, you’re doing it the wrong way. You should fight to build something.

“My first wish is to see this plague of mankind, war, banished from the earth.”

- George Washington

Thank you

Being polite should never become a habit. You should always do it with a full understanding in the moment you’re doing it. We tend to thank without really meaning it.

“Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you'll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you'll find that you have more of it.”

 - Ralph Marston

If you are sincere, you will get the same. Good or bad, it will come back to you.

“Be grateful for what you have and stop complaining - it bores everybody else, does you no good, and doesn't solve any problems.”

 - Zig Ziglar

Stop complaining! You don’t get anything good from complaint. Always find something to be grateful for in every situation. Sometimes, it’s hard, but if you keep on doing it, it will get easier.

Complaining people end up alone. No ones like to be around a complaining person.

“Thankfulness is the beginning of gratitude. Gratitude is the completion of thankfulness. Thankfulness may consist merely of words. Gratitude is shown in acts.”

 - Henri Frederic Amiel

Acts of gratitude will bring so much to you when you do it sincerely. When you understand this, you tend to be more grateful. This is how you find yourself into a spiral of joy in your life.

Destiny is not about chance

Keep your eyes on the prize.

There’s no sure way to get what you want in life, but if you keep your eyes on the prize as you work your way to reach for it, you have better chances to reach it then if you give up.

Stay focus on the goal, not on the way to get there. The way can change as often as needed as long as you keep going in the right direction.

“Your destiny is to fulfill those things upon which you focus most intently. So choose to keep your focus on that which is truly magnificent, beautiful, uplifting and joyful. Your life is always moving toward something.”

- Ralph Marston

Do you understand that your destiny is directly in relation to the action you choose to take?

You’ll influence your destiny. It is changed with the actions you take. So, it’s not fixed, you can change it.

“Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.”

- William Jennings Bryan

We can look back and see the link between everything we did. As we go along, we can only hope that our actions will bring the result we seek.

If we don’t take action, we’ll only face the result of others actions.

Karma

That you believe or not in Karma doesn’t matter on the power it does have on your life.

If you don’t see the result or influence your actions have, it doesn’t mean it didn’t had any. It just means that you haven’t notice it (yet).

“How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.”

- Wayne Dyer

When someone wrong you, it doesn’t give you a free pass to wrong them in return. 

Do or not

Learning is the key to success.

Doing is the door leading to success.

You need the key to open the door easily. You can open the door without the key, but it’s a lot more work.

“I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.”

- Confucius

Take action on your dream.

The Key!

Your happiness depends on you.

« The keys to a fulfilled, joyous life are all in your head because they’re attitudes, not actions. »

- Mark Levine

We all have the power to be happy. But this means that it’s all about us. Nothing outside of us can make us happy.

Many of us replace happiness with pleasure. Pleasure is an illusion that last for only a moment.

Pleasure is good, enjoy it and get as much as you can. But you need to realize that it’s not happiness. It’s pleasure.

Happiness is within you. You are the only one who can find it.

FEAR!!!

Fear of fear is the only good fear to have in your life.

Nothing great is created under fear.

“True success is overcoming the fear of being unsuccessful.”

 - Paul Sweeney

If you want to reach for your dream, you need to fight the fear of being unsuccessful. Take action and the fear will feels less powerful. Have the habit of taking action to face your fear. You’ll see that you’ll conquer them in the end.

“Do what you fear and fear disappears.”

 - David Joseph Schwartz

Get what you need!

We find what we need in what we have available.

50 people could be the witness to something and they would have a different perception of what happened. We filter everything we perceive.

When we read a book, we get what we want from it. The only thing that makes us orient our learning is the restricted surrounding of a school. When you remove the strict surrounding, we take only what we want.

We only take what we can understand or interpret. Our interpretation can be very different from what the author may have wanted to teach.

We always get the answer we need. It’s up to us to take it or not.

What you Perceive...

What you perceive and what I perceive can be different in so many ways. It’s not a question of the truth, but a question of perception.

The truth is different for each of us.

“There are no facts, only interpretations.”

 - Friedrich Nietzsche

Perception stimuli are not kept pure. Our own knowledge will influence what we perceive and how we understand it. Our mind is also a powerful filter. According to our choices, our mind will filter the information in relation with what we choose.

You can change the filter if you want to.

“We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect. The judgment of the intellect is only part of the truth.”

 - Carl Jung

Don’t pretend to know the truth. You only know the truth resulted from your filter. So, don’t try to tell others what is the truth, you only have your truth.

Science found out that there’s occurrence that will give different result if you look at them or not. Only the fact that there’s an observer will change the result.

It’s always better to listen to what others have to say before you try to convince them that they are wrong. In the end, you could end up with a different vision as good as yours.

Be KIND!

“Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.”

- Lao Tzu

Kindness will always bring back. But don’t expect it.

You would like the world to be a better place to live in? Don’t wait for someone else to change it, do it yourself. You don’t need to do a lot, just do something when you have the opportunity to do so.

Don’t talk about it, do it.

If you want to change the world, do something toward that goal.

There is no useless actions of kindness, but there’s a lot of useless talks about it.

“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.”

- Aesop

Low Battery?

What can we do when we find ourselves in low energy? When we feel like doing nothing, sit down in front of the TV and become a vegetable.

I’ll try to give you some tips on how to get out of that vegetable state.

-         Keep yourself into a positive environment. This could look simple. But it’s the hardest one. Most people think they can’t control their environment. So, they accept negativity as if it was part of their day to day life. You don’t have to accept negativity.

-         Fuel in good energy. You can find some good video on YouTube for free. You can also find some great book at your local library. And you even find some audio book on you tube. With the help of free software, you can rip those video and get them in mp3.

-         Create a positive circle. Find a few people that think like you and would like to associate with you in keeping each other positive. Once a month you could meet-up and share some positive stuff and tips on how to stay filled with positive energy.

Attitude of the Student

Be a good student and learn what you need to become one of the best.

“You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.”

 - Albert Einstein

Too many people think that they can do it better and just fail to learn before they try to make it different. Without the learning process there shall be no success.

I’m not the best. I just try, try and try some more. I don’t hit a home run every time, but the more I do, the better I become and the more hit I get.

Success is just a matter of statistic; the more you do will bring more chances for you to get it. Some will have to try more and some less. But everyone has to reach a certain point before they can claim any success.

Over night success is just an illusion. There’s always a lot of work before.

If you’re willing to learn and keep on learning, then maybe you’ll earn.

“Take the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new.”

 - Og Mandino

Stay away from another illusion, the illusion of being an expert. We always have something to learn. If you’re open to it, you’ll keep on learning until you last days.

Positive source

If you want positive result, you need to work with positive thoughts. Nothing good can come out of negativity.

“Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you'll start having positive results.”

- Willie Nelson

Negativity will influence you in many ways. But you have the power to deny the influences that are not good for you.

Be your own source of success. Put in what you want out!
