“Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man’s training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly.” Thomas H. Huxley

Perseverance. - I want it bad enough!

Here’s a few of my other favourite motivational and inspirational quotes…

The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won’t. – Henry Ward Beecher

Don’t be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves. – Dale Carnegie

When the world says, “Give up,”
Hope whispers, “Try it one more time.”

Looking forward to hearing your comments! Richard

Here are a few of my favourite ‘Commitment’ quotes…

“There’s a difference between interest and commitment. When you’re interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstance permit. When you’re committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.”

“Desire is the key to motivation, but it’s determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal – a commitment to excellence – that will enable you to attain the success you seek.” – Mario Andretti

“Individual commitment to a group effort — that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.” – Vince Lombardi

Here’s a cartoon I did for a client for a calendar on Football/Soccer Motivation…

Visualise your way to success!

Here’s a few quotes that I found while researching….

“Visualize this thing that you want, see it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blue print, and begin to build.” – Robert Collier

“People who soar are those who refuse to sit back, sigh and wish things would change. They neither complain of their lot nor passively dream of some distant ship coming in. Rather, they visualize in their minds that they are not quitters; they will not allow life’s circumstances to push them down and hold them under.” (Not sure who wrote this one!)

Or this one…“Losers visualize the penalties of failure. Winners visualize the rewards of success.”

“The entrepreneur is essentially a visualizer and an actualizer… He can visualize something, and when he visualizes it he sees exactly how to make it happen.” – Robert L. Schwartz

Goals are imperative!

Got Momentum on Your Goals?
By Jill Koenig

I am here to remind you that there has never been a better time in human history to go after your Goals and Dreams than right now.

But you need Momentum.

I set my Goals, took immediate massive action, started the journey and have taken action every single day since then.

What I lacked in technical knowledge, I made up for with massive action. Momentum.

What I lacked in financial backing, I made up for with massive action. Momentum.

What I lacked in skill, I made up for with massive action. Momentum.

Massive action = Momentum

I didn’t wait for everything to be perfect, for the economy to be just right, for every circumstance to line up in my favor- I just got started and took massive action.

I can assure you, whatever you want to do, whatever Goals you aspire to achieve, whatever Dreams you yearn for, you can have them. But not if you don’t ever begin and not if you don’t commit to taking massive action right now today.

The ball is in your court. Always has been, always will be.

You don’t have to get it right, you just have to get it going.

Whatever you lack, make can up for with massive action.

What can you do today to advance your most cherished Goal?

Take the first step and revise your plan as you go.

Do it.

Do it NOW.

Got Momentum?

Live Your Dreams.

I don’t want to say people are basically negative but…..if there was a camera and it could photograph the pictures in your mind what would it look like? When I asked myself that question it actually made me laugh quite a bit. I like to think of myself as a determined self starter but to be completely honest there are times when I confront a new project and I am scared to death.

One of the principles of success that I learned a long time ago is that either you define the event or the event defines you. This little definition is quite profound and explains why having beautiful posters with inspirational captions can add meaning and value to a companies culture and bottom line.

Inspiration comes in all colors and styles. But the key point is that if there is something that makes people believe more in their own abilities to succeed I say, that is a good thing. There have been numerous times in my life and career when a simple motivational phrase has worked wonders. How about you?

Here are a few quotes from some motivational posters that have helped me a lot:

“The greater the difficulty, the more glory in surmounting it.”

“Climb as high as you can dream.”

“If you are not living on the edge, you are taking too much room.”

Success in business is due to a number of reasons but FOCUS is definitely one important factor. These messages are often enough to make me believe that I can push through whatever obstacle comes up in my path.

How about you? What legacy will you leave behind for others to emulate?

To Motivate or Not to Motivate…that is the QUESTION.

Over the years I have read the biographies of many successful individuals. In so doing, I have discovered that these super achievers view setbacks as a learning opportunity. As I contemplate this basic reality I have learned a few things myself, among them that I can accomplish much more with genuine enthusiasm and a good game plan than with anything else. Also, that it is not persistence that wins but learning from the disappointments.

My company is filled with beautiful images of motivational posters. Not only because we sell them. It is because they work! Motivational posters help to create an environment that is solution oriented. In our company we value solutions and the posters on our walls help reinforce that culture. Any Tom, Dick or Harry can find a problem. The skill and rewards in life arrive when we deliver the solution.

I find this very uplifting. With a little bit of genuine inspiration it is incredible as to what is possible.

When I am inspired… my dreams… become realities!

Be careful what you agree with!

Harald Anderson is the co-founder of Artinspires.com a leading online Motivational Poster gallery. “When Art Inspires, Dreams Become Realities. His goal in life is to become the kind of person that his dog already thinks he is.

I used to use this one as a positive affirmation that I’d look at everyday and repeat over and over again. I’m never short of ideas!
