Will You Spend Today Complaining Or Doing Something About It?

“Spending today complaining about yesterday won’t make tomorrow any better.” -Unknown Keep this in mind if you are spending any part of today complaining about what happened yesterday. When you do so, you are wasting valuable time out of today focusing on something that you cannot go back and change instead of using today to create new chances and opportunities to build a better tomorrow. I am a believer that tomorrow cannot happen in anyone’s life worrying about yesterday. I find this to be true because it is hard to go forward and conquer anything when a person is mentally stuck in reverse. I am reminded of when I was living at home with my mother at 20. I did not like the fact that I could not have a room to myself because I felt I was too grown to be sleeping on a couch or in the same room as my brother. I would spend a lot of

What Happens When You Feel Like Giving Up?

“Whenever I feel like giving up, I don’t…I overcome.” Xavyer Zeigler Keep this in mind whenever you find yourself at the point of giving up on someone or something. When you choose to give up, that is when you lose out of having the chance to achieve your goals and dreams. When you decide to get up and overcome the obstacles that are in your way, you are able to power through and find a way to make things happen in your life. I am often reminded in my journey that overcoming something requires time, inner strength, and a good support system. I have found that to be true because there is no timetable on how it should take to overcome something, plus if you are going to ever overcome any obstacle, it must come from the determination that exists inside of you and people who will be by your side. This was the case when I lost Speranza, my

What Is The Impact Of The Choices You Make?

“Your life is a result of the choices you make…If you don’t like your life, it is time to start making better choices.” -Unknown Keep this in mind when you reflect on where you are in life and the impact of your choices. If you make bad choices throughout your life, it will leave you in a predicament where you are not happy with what is around you, and it can bring forth a bad attitude. You may try to blame others and never take responsibility, but you are ultimately responsible for the choices you make and the life that you live as a result of them. I am a believer that a person will not make better choices in life until they have reached their personal “rock bottom” in life. I believe this because once a person hits a point where they have nowhere to go, that is when true change can happen. For me, that “rock-bottom” had me

What Is The Value Of Your Compliments?

“One compliment can unlock endless possibilities of making the world a better place.”-Michael J. Fite Keep this in mind whenever you are trying to figure out why a compliment is necessary. When you do not give out compliments, nobody knows what their value is to you and nobody knows what makes you appreciative. When that happens, people will tend to either thank you are unappreciative or you do not care, which both will ultimately lead to you missing out on an opportunity to impact someone’s life in a positive way. When you give out compliments, people can see what they mean to you and what makes you appreciative. When this happens, you will see that people will respond back to you and you will have that opportunity to impact that person in ways you cannot imagine. Giving out compliments is something I love doing as much as I can. I also understand the value of whenever I do not give

How Do You Become The Champion Of Your Life?

“Every champion was once a contender that refused to give up.” -Rocky Balboa Keep this in mind whenever you find yourself at a crossroads determining if you should go on to achieve your goal being a champion or give up when things get tough. If you give up, you lose out on your chance of being the champion of your goals and dreams. This will lead to you feeling empty and remorseful about not finishing what you started. When you choose to fight on, you give yourself a chance at figuring out what you need to do to win and be a champion in your life. This will lead to you feeling tough and confident about bouncing back and giving your best effort when it comes to the various fights in your life. My ultimate line in life is that quitters never win and winners never quit. I believe and know this because I have never met quitters that have

How Do You Overcome The Fears Of Others?

“Don’t give up just because of what someone said. Use that as motivation to push hard.” -Kushandwizdom Keep this in mind whenever you find yourself surrounded by voices of doubt and fear. When you decide to let those words creep into your mind and cause you to give up, it is hard to come back from it because you now have embodied those words of doubt and fear. Once you have that inside of you, it causes you to remain in your comfort zone and you will always be left with wondering “what if” and “should I” when it comes to the unknown. When you decide to take those words as motivation to push harder, you will find yourself developing the toughness and desire necessary to make things happen. I have seen that the sources of these words come from people who falls into three categories: They never tried it themselves: They look at you doing something new or different

How Much Is Your Time Worth?

“If you spend 86’400 seconds each day on things to improve your life, you will become wealthy in other areas of your life.” -Michael J. Fite Keep this in mind whenever you find yourself wondering the true value of your time. When you decide to waste your time being unproductive or hanging around negative people, you will not gain all that you possibly can out of the chances that you do have. This can cause you to miss out on your own growth and be angry at others who use their time wisely. When you decide to productively use your time on things and positive people who will improve your life, you will start to see how each second that you use can benefit you. This can give you the confidence and faith to keep on adding and acquiring things that will make your life even better than before. Being that I am an investor at heart, I do believe

Can Your Past Dictate Your Future?

“Just because the past didn’t turn out like you wanted it to, doesn’t mean your future can’t be better than imagined.” -Unknown Keep this in mind whenever you try to just your future based on what you have done in the past. When you judge your future based on your past, then of course you will repeat the same cycle over and over. This will cause you to have a lack of confidence, faith in yourself and your higher power, and no desire to want to change your life. When you decide to leave the past alone and focus on today being the start of a new future, you will begin to start a new cycle that will hopefully show you the light towards something better. This will cause you to be fearful at first, but you will feel better about life and the choice you will make. Even though it has been said that a person’s past actions are

What Does Your Inspiration And Car Fuel Have In Common?

“Inspiration to you is like fuel to a car. When the inspiration is bad or empty, you will stall and break down. When the inspiration is good and full, you will move and keep going.” -Michael J. Fite   Keep this in mind whenever you are in need of inspiration. Inspiration is all around you like gas stations, but it is on you to determine when you need to stop and get what you need to keep going. If you do not have inspiration or get the wrong type of inspiration (negativity from friends, family, society, etc.), it is hard for you to get anything going in your life. This will lead you never try anything new or quit when things get hard. When you do get the right inspiration in your system, you can get things going and moving in your life. This will lead you closer to accomplishing your goals and building momentum for achieving bigger goals in
