You Have Everything (or can anyway)

"Wait. You might have glossed over that last paragraph-perhaps because it's so short but especially because it's so challenging.

What I'm saying is that one person can make a video that reaches fifty million viewers.

What I'm saying is that one person can invent a pricing model that turns an industry upside down.

What I'm saying is that one person-okay, what I really me is you-has everything. Everything you need to build something far bigger than yourself. The people around you realize this, and they are ready to follow if you're ready to lead"

- Seth Godin from the book Tribes: We Need You to Leads Us

Desire to Achieve

"A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others."

- Ayn Rand 

Keep Pecking Away

"How many times does a woodpecker peck at the bark of a tree while he is looking for food?

1 time?

10 times?

100 times?

The answer is: Until he gets the job done!

- from Deb Austin Brown's great book Growing Character.

Nothing is Impossible

“The difficult is that which can be done immediately; the impossible is that which takes a little longer.” - Santayana

If I look back on my life, I was told more than a few times that I couldn’t do something. I never let these naysayers convince me of what they saw as impossible. I really do believe that if you want to do something, are motivated to do so, and work hard at it, that you can achieve anything. I don’t believe in impossible situations or impossible dreams. Just give it some time, keep your head up, and work hard at it, and you can do the impossible.

Happy Monday Everyone!
