I’m a big fan of all the quotes I write about, but this really has me going today.
“Half of the troubles of this life can be traced to saying yes too quickly and not saying no soon enough.” – Josh BIllings
Initial Thoughts
I immediately love this quote because it rings so true with me personally, and I can only imagine that many of you find this quote intriguing as well. I can think of some things I’ve done right off that bat that have caused me some heartache that I …

Being more disciplined is a focus in my life right now. I thought it would serve my audience well to share!
“Discipline is remembering what you want.” – David Campbell
Initial Thoughts
I’m not always disciplined, but it’s okay because I make up for it in other places. I know what I want for the most part, but what’s the real connection between discipline and remembering what I want? I get my job done just fine and I still know what I want.

“Life is denied by lack of attention, whether it be to cleaning windows or trying to write a masterpiece.” – Nadia Boulanger
Initial Thoughts
I rush. I often don’t think things entirely through. So, naturally not all of my goals and dreams receive my time and attention. Do things sometimes fall through the cracks? Sure. You can’t always give the amount of attention you want to towards hobbies, dreams, your job, etc. So, I guess I am denying myself the things I really want because I …

In life we are committed to what is important to us. We also strive to be committed to things in our lives that we want to change in some way. Your top committments might relate to your job, your family, and reaching personal goals. Weight, income, diet, etc. Right about now, midway through January, millions of people have already lost sight of a once promising New Year’s revolution. Why do so many lose focus so easily? Why can’t I just stick to what I …

Happy New Year to you fine folks out there! A small preface to what’s quoted below as it’s more lengthy than the norm.

While reading, I stumbled across the below excerpt that was highlighted yellow – and it was the only highlight in the book. …

Today is your lucky day! I chose two quotes that go great together. These two quotes compliment each other very well.

“You can do anything, but not everything.”
“Excellence is the gradual result of always wanting to do better.”
Initial Thoughts
It seems that the people that are really successful and truly happy, are the ones that are good at asking the right questions and taking a unique approach. Additionally, truly happy and successful people seem to offer value in very specific ways. When I read these quotes, I also …

Today is a great day for a quote! Aren’t they all? Ok, to the quote…
“If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary”
Initial Thoughts
A surface skeptic, me, might not really understand what it is that is actually “unusual”. As is the case with your paradigm on success, your perception of what’s considered a risk, unusual or ordinary, is largely subjective. I know that I don’t want to settle for ordinary, I want more out of life. I …

Those of you that know me personally, won’t be surprised by this one. Mostly because I am a huge fan of Seinfeld, and to this day I catch the reruns whenever I get the chance.
“It’s amazing that the amount of news that happens in the world everyday always just exactly fits the newspaper.” -Jerry Seinfeld
Initial Thoughts
The most important news always hits the front page, right? Or, in this day and age, the stuff we all need to know is right there on the home page, right? Man, …
