Who Hates Quotes?

Not me. I love quotes.

Why?

Because, to me, they capture the essence of an entire volume of thought.

“The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible”. — unknown

Things like:

  • Writing five blogs per day
  • Compete in the World Championships
  • Becoming an accomplished Public Speaker
  • Becoming a Father
  • Meet and marry the love of my life
  • Live past 60
  • Write a book
  • Make the World a better place
  • Find cures for terrible diseases
  • Bring honor and glory to God
  • Hear, “Well done my good and faithful servant”.

Deep, huh?

And why not deep? Perhaps a shallow, unexamined life is good enough.

Perhaps it’s not.

The Key to Motivation?

The key to motivation, in my humble opinion, is elusive. Know why?

Because most of us don’t have the patience to analyze the question long enough to find the simple answer.

Know what the simple answer is?

A compelling purpose.

It’s profoundly simple. And, simply profound.

Like what my Doctor told me when he said I needed to focus on only two things to lower my cholesterol. Know what those two simple things are?

I know you know. It’s two things and everybody knows. You don’t have to go to medical school to know this. It’s too simple to require an education.

Drum roll please…..

Diet and exercise.

Motivation?

Find a compelling purpose in life. You’ll be so motivated, it will be mind-blowing.

Until you start to hit the obstacles life throws our way.

This is why simple doesn’t mean easy.

Good luck out there today. Hope you stay focused, even when life is throwing you sucker punches. Learn how to fight back.

Motivation is the best defense against a tough opponent. Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

Silent Happiness?

Silent Happiness?

“Silence fertilizes the deep place where personality grows. A life with a peaceful center can weather all storms“. — Norman Vincent Peale

I find myself questioning Norman’s thought. Why? Because life is really difficult right now for many, many people. It’s so difficult and uncertain, that many of us, myself included, don’t want to admit it.

Therefore, I fall back on everything I know to be true. God never said it would be easy, He just said we would not have to go alone.

Peace and carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
