New computer, new programs.
Needed: new brain!
I’m about three days into
switching from a PC to a Mac and I could be doing better. This is damned
confusing, although everyone assures me that in a week I’ll be acclimated. HA!
So I’m taking the easy way out
and posting some interesting quotes from the Motivation Grid.
The power of a single
sentence is tremendous. A single sentence can either make your day or ruin it.
Here are a few sentences to change your life for the better.
1.
People aren’t
against you; they are for themselves.
2.
Climb mountains
not so the world can see you, but that
you can see the world.
3.
You learn more
from failure than from success; don’t let failure stop you. Failure builds
character.
4.
The most
dangerous risk of all- the risk of spending your life not doing what you want
on the bet you can buy yourself the freedom to do so later.
5.
Go where you’re
celebrated, not where you’re tolerated.
6.
The person you
will spend the most time within your life is yourself, so you’d better try to
make yourself as interesting as possible.
7.
If you accept
your limitations you go beyond them.
8.
People often say
that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing, that’s why we re-
commend it daily.
9.
Everyone you meet
is afraid of something, loves something, and has lost something.
10.Comfort is the enemy of achievement.
Now comes the easy part! I’d love to know if
any of these strike a chord with you, and which one it is.
I’ve picked out in my mind
the one that grabbed me. If you’d comment and give me the number of which one
grabbed you, and your choice duplicates mine you can go to my website, www.jeanhartstewart.com and pick out
any e-book of mine you want.
Have fun with this…..and see
you next month.

#2 resonates with me. But then, so does # 5. And #10. And...
What a great post! :)
Thanks a bunch for this, Jean. So many resonated with me, but #4 hit me on the nail since I'm a procrastinator. lol
Jean~
Awesome post! They ALL resonate with me to one degree or another, but if I absolutely, positively have to choose... I'd say #2 - mostly because the athlete in me wants to physically climb mountains... ;)
I choose #5 - love being around people that are positive and make me feel good.
Interesting post, Jean. I have to say #9 is the one that resonates with me. It's so very true. Empathy allows us deeper understanding.
Fran, Tina,and Sandy...Thank you all for liking my post. I was afraid it would come across preachy and I meant it for inspiring fun...Glad to know it read that way.....
Lynda, Judy and Rose..The different choices interest me a lot. Too early in the day to tell you the winner.
Great post, Jean! It's #9 for me. Empathy allows us to go beyond ourselves and is the root of understanding.
Great quotes, Jean! I like #9 as it reminds me to be a better person and helps me to be a better writer.
Thanks for sharing them, and best of luck with the computer transition.
Paris and Barbara, thanks for reading an voting...No. 9 certainly wins the popularity contest, as any rate.Hard to pick, isn't it?
I love the one about the person you spend most of your time with is yourself and to be interesting. Being interested in those around us makes us more likeable and less self-centered.
That one is great, for sure. I'm so glad you all are responding to this.Definitely more comments than when I post an excerpt...
I like them all, Jean, but I'll pick #2. Thanks for an inspirational post.
Thanks for visiting Cara. I'm finding the different choices interesting in themselves. So pleased this blog has somehow resonated!!!!
So many of them hit me! But I'm going with #3. Failure is something that does give us more lessons and help than getting all the positives.
:) Thanks for sharing all the fun quotes!
No. nine was my pick,,So
