From Les Brown
"Goals help you channel your energy into action."
SET JUST ONE SMALL GOAL EACH DAY.
"If you don't program yourself, life will program you."
LEAD IN YOUR OWN LIFE, THAT IS THE LEAST THAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOURSELF.
"Some people would rather get even instead of get ahead."
LET THAT ANGER GO AND STOP FOCUSING ON OTHER PEOPLE.
YOU ARE LETTING THEM TAKE TOO MANY MINUTES OUT OF YOUR LIFE.
"Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago."
WHAT SEEDS ARE YOU PLANTING TODAY THAT WILL BLOSSOM IN YOUR LIFE TOMORROW?
"Honor your commitments with integrity.”
HOW DO YOU FEEL WHEN SOMEONE LETS YOU DOWN?
THEN, DON’T DO IT, SPECIFICALLY TO CHILDREN.
"If you view all the things that happen to you, both good and bad, as opportunities, then you operate out of a higher level of consciousness."
WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH YOUR OPPORTUNITIES?
"You cannot expect to achieve new goals or move beyond your present circumstances unless you change."
IF YOU DO THE SAME THING TODAY THAT YOU DID YESTERDAY,
EXPECT THE SAME THING TOMORROW. DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT TODAY.
"You gotta be hungry!"
WE ARE HERE TO NETWORK! ARE YOU?
