To all who realize that the next frontier is not only ahead of us, it’s also inside us.
. . .It is useless to close the gates against new ideas;
they overleap them. -CLEMENS WENZEL VON METTERNICH
Deep within us dwell slumbering powers; powers that would astonish us, that we never dreamed of possessing forces that would revolutionize our lives if aroused and put into action.
-ORISON MARDEN
You decide what you want? & you get it using your brain power.
To get out of the box, you have to see the box. The smallest changes can make the biggest difference.
If you keep saying you can't stand your job, you might lose your job.
If you keep saying you can't stand your body, your body can become sick.
If you keep saying you can't stand your car, your car could be stolen or just stop operating.
If you keep saying you're always broke, guess what? You'll always be broke.
If you keep saying you can't trust a man or trust a woman, you will always find someone in your life to hurt and betray you.
If you keep saying you can't find a job, you will remain unemployed.
If you keep saying you can't find someone to love you or believe in you, our very thoughts will attract more experiences to confirm your beliefs.
Turn your thoughts and conversations around to be more positive and power packed with faith, hope, love and action.
Don't be afraid to believe that you can have what you want and deserve.
Watch your "Thoughts,“ they become words;
Watch your "Words,“ they become actions;
Watch your "Actions,“ they become habits;
Watch your "Habits,“ they become character;
Watch your "Character“,for it becomes your "Destiny"
So.......to prevent any obstacles.......
GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY!

Key 1 :Direction, Not Motion - It's not how busy you are or how fast you are moving, it's how effectively you are advancing in the right direction.
Key 2 : Focus, not Time - It's not how well you plan your time, it's how effectively you put your
attention on what matters most...in advance and as it unexpectedly appears.
Key 3: Capacity, not Conformity- It's not how good you are at copying others or making
incremental improvements, it's how bold you are at unlocking hidden potential---in yourself and others-----and applying it in new ways.
Key 4: Energy, not Effort- It's not ow hard you try or how long you work, it's how effortlessly you
get more of the right things done.
Key 5: Impact, not Intentions- It's not how lofty your intentions are or how much you want things
to improve, it's how measurable a difference you are making in living your deepest values and achieving your biggest goals.
Yes, there are times when the gold medal only goes to the winner. But not in the race of life, where the winners are those who are superior not to others but to their former selves.
-Robert Cooper
To excel means to reach beyond the best you have ever given because doing so matters to you personally, for its own sake. It means to run your own race—as an individual, team, or organization. To excel is to know your greatest strengths and passions, and to emphasize them while honestly admitting and managing your weaknesses. -Robert Cooper
