Selfishly Borrowed!

Let's Share the Good

This BLOG is for me as much as anybody else and I admittedly will refer back to my writings and posts to refuel my own tank.  The following may be the best post I have seen in a while and is one I borrowed from a Facebook friend.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, what is a picture of words inside other words worth?  Our future.

I believe.  Do you?

I Already Know That!

Knowing is Not Enough.  It’s the Doing That Matters.

How many times have you been in a class, a seminar, or a training session and heard someone scornfully say, “I already know that!”  Or, even worse, how many times have you read, listened to an audiobook, or been told something by a mentor and internally said the same thing?

Unfortunately, if you are like most people, you were responding to the wrong internal question: “Did I know this already?”  When you should have been asking yourself, “How well or often do I do that?”  You may know something very well - and know you would be better off if you did it - and then never do it. 

So, when I post something in this BLOG - and many times it will be something simple and well known - don’t ask yourself if you already knew it, but instead, ask if when the opportunity arises - “Do I actually do it?”

I Believe!

Even if you stop believing in the person, why stop believing in the ideal they stood for?

You may just realize that you enjoy life a lot more.

To be Better or to be Unique: That is the Question.

When I decided to create this BLOG, I thought "what a great idea, a BLOG on positive attitude and how that affects drive and motivation - as well as everything else," but there is a lot one can find on this topic and a lot of sites and BLOGS about these topics. 

So, to get an audience for this BLOG, I must find my sustainable competitive advantage.  That can be done in two ways, either (1) by doing what everyone else does, but doing it better, or (2) by doing things differently than everyone else, in a way that delivers a unique type of value. 

Well, I think I will try both options.  I will first try to utilize the best content I can find to make this BLOG interesting and motivational, in a way better than others.  Sometimes we need just a quotation or cartoon to get us into the positive psyche, and at other time we may need or want more.

I never really like to make a universal statement, based on my personal experience or opinion, as I am generalizing from what I have experienced, learned, read, observed, and felt.  I see this in my passion of fitness a lot.  For example, a football player, bodybuilder, runner, fighter, or cross-fit person will make recommendations based on their own thought process and not after a set of questions to the other person on what they want or need. 

So, originally, I had decided not to put too much of myself into this BLOG, but to be an impartial conveyor of content.  However, then how would this BLOG be unique?  You're right, it wouldn't.  And, since I have - over my life - had a lot of interesting experiences, I am highly educated, I am well read, I have watched a lot of people, and I have felt a lot of emotions - all making me extraordinarily success, as well oftentimes a dreadful failure, I will throw a lot of me and what I feel into this BLOG - hopefully delivering that unique type of value.

So, here is a quick motivational boost, to keep that tank full!


Just think to yourself that, "I will IBA my way to success!"
