Motivational Quotes (8)
It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which, more than anything else, will affect its successful outcome.
William James
I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances.
Martha Washington
To be a great champion you must believe you are the best. If you’re not, pretend you are.
Muhammad Ali
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I'ts not what happens to you that determines how far you will go in life; it is how you handle what happens to you.
Zig Ziglar
Two men look out the same prison bars; one sees mud and the other stars.
Frederick Langbridge
Everyone has his burden. What counts is how you carry it."
Merle Miller
Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure. The way you thing about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because you think you are.
Norman Vincent Peale
The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind.
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
To different minds, the same world is a hell, and a heaven.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Always look at what you have left.Never look at what you have lost.
If you believe you can, you probably can. If you believe you won't, you most assuredly won't. Belief is the ignition switch that gets you off the launching pad.
Denis Waitley
Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.
Lou Holtz
Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
Buddha
The optimist sees opportunity in every danger; the pessimist sees danger in every opportunity.
Winston Churchill
Our attitudes control our lives. Attitudes are a secret power working twenty-four hours a day, for good or bad. It is of paramount importance that we know how to harness and control this great force.
Tom Blandi
Positive thinking won't let you do anything but it will let you do everything better than negative thinking will.
Zig Ziglar
Minds are like parachutes - they only function when open.
Thomas Dewar
A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before the change.
Earl Nightingale
The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.
William James
I am convinced that attitude is the key to success or failure in almost any of life's endeavors. Your attitude-your perspective, your outlook, how you feel about yourself, how you feel about other people-determines you priorities, your actions, your values. Your attitude determines how you interact with other people and how you interact with yourself.
Carolyn Warner
Eagles come in all shapes and sizes, but you will recognize them chiefly by their attitudes.

Globalization
Finally, a definition of Globalization
I can understand and to which I can relate
Question: What is the truest definition of Globalization?
Answer: Princess Diana's death.
Question: How come?
Answer:
An English princess with
an Egyptian boyfriend
crashes in a French
tunnel, driving a
German car
with a Dutch engine,
driven by a Belgian
who was drunk
on Scottish whisky,
(check the bottle before you change the spelling),
followed closely by
Italian Paparazzi,
on Japanese motorcycles;
treated by an A m e r i c a n doctor, using
Brazilian medicines.
This is sent to you by
an Iranian,
using Bill Gates's technology,
and you're probably reading this on your computer,
that uses Taiwanese
chips, and a
Korean monitor,
assembled by
Bangladeshi workers
in a
transported by Indian
lorry-drivers,
hijacked by Indonesians ,
unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen,
and trucked to you by Mexican illegals.....
That, my friends, is

Are You Prepared For Success? (Section II - Installment #7 "It Brings Down The Great" - Male and Female versions)
(If this is your first time on this site, please begin with "Are You Prepared For Success?" [Introduction])
Ominous and powerful, it brings down the great.
No ones immune, it doesn't discriminate.
It can't be held and it can't be seen.
But it leaves devastation wherever it's been.
Oh, the accolades you could have had
For all those accomplishments you wanted so bad.
But you let it in and you gave it life,
And it cut you down as if using a knife.
You knew what you wanted. You knew what to do.
Nothing could stop you, nothing, thought you.
Then you planted the seed and it grew so tall.
Nothing could stop it, nothing at all.
It grew stronger and stronger each and every day.
It destroyed everything that got in its way.
You cursed the day you gave it a name.
You tried to fight back, but in it came.
It consumed all it touched, even your dreams.
It left nothing behind, not even your screams.
And now that you know, you just want to shout,
"Don't ever give in to those first strands of doubt."
(An original Poem by Mel Kaye)
I strongly suggest that you write down your immediate reaction, after passionately reading this poem.
- What doubts do you have about yourself or your abilities?
- What could you have accomplished if you had no doubts?

Being Positive
Studies show that positive people are winners in good times and survivors in hard times. People who begin to consciously modify their inner conversations and attitudes report an almost immediate improvement in their performance. Their energy increases and things seem to just go better. How would you like things to be better for you? A simple choice you can make every morning is either a positive one such as ‘I am going to have a fantastic day today and be the best possible person that I can be in all aspects of my life’ and choose to be in this state or ‘allow negativity to set in and be doom and gloom’. It’s your choice.However easier said than done? Yes it is. So where does this positive attitude come from?It comes from your inner belief and knowing based on realistic and achievable goals. Your belief and knowing comes from planning and planning comes from your vision and goal setting. Having realistic, achievable and measurable goals teamed with an inner belief that you ‘know’ you can achieve it - a positive attitude just comes and – you can do anything.
So how do you get this attitude?
- Listen to your self-talk and choose your attitude
- Work out what your realistic and achievable goals are and make plan
- Believe in yourself and your abilities
- Act with confidence!
- Contain your reactions
- Appreciate what you have, if you’re not happy with what you see, do something about it, change and take action!
- Surround yourself with positive people!
If you do this after a while you will start to gain much more value in your life by being positive that you won’t want to have anything to do with negativity again!

Are You Prepared For Success? (Section II - Installment #6 "The Past Is Gone" - Male and Female versions)
(If this is your first time on this site, please begin with "Are You Prepared For Success?" [Introduction])
The Past Is Gone!
"Oh, the regrets I feel for opportunities lost;
I really have wasted my time!"...
Is this how you feel? Is this how you think?
This method of thinking's a crime.
What's gone is gone, what's left is left.
These facts you cannot rearrange.
Let go of the past. Grab hold of the rest.
Now is the time for the change.
What remains is the future. What remains is now.
And it can all play out like a dream.
It can be an ocean of desires fulfilled,
Or a sea of "what might have been."
Don't beat yourself up over moments gone by.
These moments you'll never retrieve.
Look forward with hope and courage and know
It's in yourself that you have to believe.
- List those lost opportunities in your past that you would like to let go of.

Negative Thinking Robbing Souls of Inner Peace
Negative thinking robs the soul of inner peace. As a positive person, one thing I detest is negative thinking. My son is the biggest pessimistic in the world in my opinion, and this boy can drive a mother out of her mind if she allows him to do so.
One thing I notice about negative thinkers is they rarely feel comfortable with self. Feeling comfortable with self is one of the elements required to channel in on inner peace. negative thinkers are full of voids that leave them empty throughout their lifetime.
Negative thinkers rarely find inner peace, because when they are full of damning thoughts there is no room for quietness of the mind. Inner peace is quietness, a calmness of the mind, and negative thinkers often gravel often, whereas they have weak visions and words. Daily these lost souls go through the hours spending every waken moment spilling out their mind over nothing.
Inner peace...will negative thinkers ever have inner peace? Possibly, but it will take longer to achieve than those with minds spending positive feedback. My son again, I felt was the biggest negative thinker in the world, which often irritated me. I could kick that boy and fear each time he opens his mouth to speak. Thus, how can I find inner peace? I learnt to let it go. If he is speaking, I listen to the first sentence and if it appears, he is heading nowhere my ears close immediately and I go back to my own thoughts, which I have minimized over the years.
Bipolar patients often have pessimistic out views. Thus, these people often wonder through life nagging about each detail. Some believe it is the bipolar that causes this reaction, but after spending a year getting a bipolar patient under control, I learned that it is a pattern rather than a part of the diagnosis.
The person has not come to grips with the mind. The symptoms of bipolar gear up the mind charging it for a bout of ongoing talk, but it is the person's mind that is spitting out the negative thought, which in turn robs them of their inner peace.
Thus, to find inner peace you have to reach within your mind and come to agreement with your past, now and behaviors and habits. My son has ADHD, which forces him to speak abruptly interrupting, or else act like a Wildman on drugs. Still, he has a negative relationship with his brain because he chose to think the way he thinks. He also has Psychosis and Schizophrenia, which one is a disease of the mind. Thus, it is difficult for him because his audio, visual, and ability to perceive is affected, but still he can find inner peace if he would only let those negative thoughts go.
Amazingly, I have been around people with psychopathic tendencies, and these people think positive thoughts more so than, few of those with less severe mental illnesses think. It is amazing how the mind works, but to achieve inner peace positive thinking has to develop.
If you think negative on an ongoing basis, realize you are not only robbing your self of inner peace, you possibly are robbing others of their inner peace. personally, misery loves company and I prefer to stay away from those in misery. You have the capacity to gain control over your mind and find the hope within you to obtain inner peace. sitting around making excuses is not leading you anywhere but further behind your inner peace.
Inner peace is a gift. All of us have the ability to reach our inner peace. A mentally retarded person has the ability to reach his/her inner peace. You may wander why, but the truth is we were all born with the truth inside of us, and our brain was constructed to lead us to the path to inner peace.
Now, if you are a negative thinker you are not only wasting your time, you are wasting time of those that have to listen to you nag about each detail of life. accept things you cannot change and do something about the things you can change.

Are You Prepared For Success? (Section II - Installment #5 "Despair" - Male and Female versions)
(If this is your first time on this site, please begin with "Are You Prepared For Success?" [Introduction])
Stand in the face of total despair
And hold your head up high,
And look beyond as you declare
That through this you will fly.
Nothing will stop you short of death.
You'll feel sorry for yourself no more.
And you are far from your last breath
As you set sight on a distant shore.
This is only a temporary state.
You know this in your heart.
You will not let this be your fate.
From this place you will depart.
There is a better place for you.
This truth you must uncover.
Don't waste your time feeling blue.
The passion, you must re-discover.
Only you can do it now.
It's all within your control.
See what can be and take this vow,
To "Never lose sight of your goal."
(An original Poem by Mel Kaye)
- Try this...In your mind's eye, back away from yourself and your current situation.
- What do you see?
- What would you like to see?

Increasing Blog Readership, 14 Rules by MondayMorningPower
I found myself first asking advise on the blog forums as to how to increase my readership, then I found myself giving advise on how to increase readership. I quickly realized that this was closely tied to having the right attitude, the focus of my blog. So I figured that I should write a piece on this subject. I hope you find it useful.
There is no short and simple answer. Like all worthwhile endeavors, this takes work. However, if you have “passion” for your blog, the “work” you will have to do will not seem like work at all. If you do not have passion for your blog, well, you can probably complete this statement yourself. These rules are designed to increase readership not increase traffic....there is a difference.
The 14 Rules
- Have worthwhile content in your blog; content that will interest others.
- Love what you do; your love for it will come through.
- Be sure that your blog is visually pleasing. Continuously make visual changes. Never be completely satisfied with its appearance.
- Submit your URL to as many search engines as you can (there are blogs that specialize in this.)
- Post questions on blog forums; such as “How do I get people to read my blog?
- Visit all blogs who respond to your question.
- Always leave a comment on these blogs.
- Thank them, on their blogs, for responding to your question.
- If you like the blog, visit its links.
- If you like the link, leave a comment and let them know how you found their blog.
- There is no shame in asking for a "link swap" if you truly believe that both your readers and their readers will both benefit.
- Visit as many blogs as you can.
- If you give a blog more than just a casual glance, LEAVE A COMMENT
- Always leave your URL at the end of the comment and invite them to visit your blog.
- If someone leaves a comment on your blog with their URL, always visit their blog and leave a sincere comment thanking them for visiting and include something positive about their blog.
- When you begin to create links on your blog to other blogs, visit them regularly and leave comments.
- Create and give out business cards that contain your URL and a brief description of the content. Don’t be obnoxious about it.
- Use your URL in your personal emails, again with a brief description.
- Go back to number one and start again, and again, and again……………..

Motivational Quotes (7)
There are risks and costs to action. But they are far less than the long-range risks of comfortable inaction.
John F. Kennedy
You have to perform at a consistently higher level than others. That's the mark of a true professional.
Joe Paterno
To accuse others for one’s own misfortune is a sign of want of education. To accuse oneself shows that one’s education has begun. To accuse neither oneself nor others shows that one’s education is complete.
Epictetus, Greek philosopher
In order to succeed, you must know what you are doing, like what you are doing and believe in what you are doing.
Will
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
Dr. Seuss
(Theodor Geisel)
So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.
Before everything else, getting ready is the secret of success.
Henry Ford
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
Helen Keller
Without justice, courage is weak.
Benjamin Franklin
Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
Thomas Edison
A man, as a general rule, owes very little to what he is born with -- a man is what he makes of himself.
Alexander Graham Bell
Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.
William Jennings Bryan
We are all works in progress
Judith Gibson
I find it fascinating that most people plan their vacations with better care than they plan their lives. Perhaps that is because escape is easier than change."
Jim Rohn
