THOUGHT for Your WEEK
Keep on Keepin' On
Poet Unknown
 
If the day looks kinder gloomy
And your chances kinder slim,
If the situation's puzzlin'
And the prospect's awful grim,
If perplexities keep pressin'
Till hope is nearly gone,
Just bristle up and grit your teeth
And keep on keepin' on.
 
Frettin' never wins a fight
And fumin' never pays;
There ain't no use in broodin'
In these pessimistic ways;
Smile just kinder cheerfully
Though hope is nearly gone,
And bristle up and grit your teeth
And keep on keepin' on.
 
There ain't no use in growlin'
And grumblin' all the time,
When music's ringin' everywhere
And everything's a rhyme.
Just keep on smilin' cheerfully
If hope is nearly gone,
And bristle up and grit your teeth
And keep on keepin' on.

QUOTES for Your WEEK
Don't let obstacles stand in your way; learn to view failures as an opportunity to find out what works and what doesn't work; develop the inner attitude of patience, persistence, and perseverance; and, defeat your own procrastination through action not dreaming.
Catherine Pulsifer
 
Persistence prevails when all else fails.
Saying on my desk
 
Success never resides in the world of weak wishes, but in the palace of purposeful plans and prayerful persistence.
William Arthur Ward
 
Whoever said anybody has a right to give up?
Marian Wright Edelman
 
Ask yourself if you have been defeated by your own lack of persistence without realizing it. Step back and take a hard look at how persistent you have really been.

THOUGHT for Your WEEK
Success Are You Determined
By Catherine Pulsifer © 2011
 
A lot of people thought Walt Disney's dream was ludicrous. Many people laughed at his ideas while others told him it was impossible.
 
Walt Disney had a dream, a strong determination, and a strong belief. He made it happen. If he had listened to all those who told him his dream was impossible, we would not have the Disney resorts we have today.
 
There are countless situations where individuals were told it was impossible, yet they went on to achieve success.
 
I believe it all comes down to your own outlook:
- if you think it is impossible, then it is;  if you think it can be achieved, then what you see is not the impossible, but the end result.
- if you believe in yourself then you will find a way no matter what obstacles and challenges you face along the way
- and, if you are determined then you have a 90% chance of success.

Jody Bergsma
 
"Determination gives you the resolve to keep going in spite of the roadblocks that lay before you."
Denis Waitley
 
"People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to."

"This is for all of you out there tonight, reaching for a dream - don't ever give up! Never ever listen to anyone, when they try to discourage you, because they do that, believe me!"

"Do what you can,with what you have, where you are."

POEM for Your WEEK
Mr. Meant To
by Author Unknown
 
Mr. Meant-to has a comrade,
And his name is Didn't-do.
 
Have you ever chanced to meet him?
Did he ever call on you?
 
These two fellows live together
In a house of Never-Win.
 
And I'm told that it is haunted
By the ghost of Might-have-been.

QUOTES for Your WEEK
To think too long about doing a thing often becomes its undoing. Eva Young
 
Procrastination is opportunity's natural assassin. Victor Kiam
 
Doing just a little bit during the time we have available puts you that much further ahead than if you took no action at all. Byron Pulsifer
 
Waiting is a trap. There will always be reason to wait. The truth is, there are only two things in life, reasons and results, and reasons simply don't count. Dr. Robert Anthony
 
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. Thomas Huxley
 
Procrastination is like a credit card: it's a lot fun until you get the bill. Christopher Parker
 
Don't wait for your "ship to come in," and feel angry and cheated when it doesn't. Get going with something small. Irene Kassorla
 
If you want to make an easy job seem mighty hard, just keep putting off doing it. Olin Miller
 
The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one. Mark Twain
 
We shall never have more time. We have, and have always had, all the time there is. No object is served in waiting until next week or even until tomorrow. Keep going day in and day out. Concentrate on something useful. Having decided to achieve a task, achieve it at all costs. Arnold Bennett.
 
So what do we do? Anything. Something. So long as we just don't sit there. If we screw it up, start over. Try something else. If we wait until we've satisfied all the uncertainties, it may be too late. Lee Iacocca
 
The habit of always putting off an experience until you can afford it, or until the time is right, or until you know how to do it is one of the greatest burglars of joy. Be deliberate, but once you've made up your mind -jump in. Charles R. Swindoll

MOTIVATIONAL WORDS
We hope you enjoy this new section to our newsletter.  We will also add this category to our website. It will be filled with ten short tips or quotes, or short stories to provide you with motivation for your week.  We would encourage you to pick one of the ten motivational words or tips that you speak to you – the one that motivates you and write it down and refer to it each day over the next week. Remember that a new attitude, or behaviour is built by repetition.  Reading, and re-reading a tip or quote will help build this new way of thinking or acting.
 
 
1. Change your thoughts from, "what's in it for me?" to "how can I help?" – this is one of the keys to success.  Catherine Pulsifer
 
2. Success is not counted by how high you have climbed but by how many you brought with you.  Wil Rose
 
3. Determination and perseverance move the world; thinking that others will do it for you is a sure way to fail. Marva Collins
 
4. Learn to be flexible; it makes the curves in your life path much easier to maneuver. Cherie Carter-Scott
 
5. Problems tend to growl at us like cowardly dogs.  If we face them and challenge them, they back away.  If we run from them, they run after us, snapping our heels. Freddie Mitman
 
6. Over the years I have discovered that ideas come through an intense desire for them; continually desiring, the mind becomes a watchtower on the lookout for incidents that may excite the imagination. Charlie Chaplin
 
7. The most important trip you may take in life is meeting people halfway.  Author Unknown
 
8. What's important is how frequently you're happy, not how intensely.  Those peaks of happiness – getting swept off your feet, scaling a mountain top, winning a bundle in Las Vegas – are nice, but happiness comes down to being quietly content most of the time.  Dr. Joyce Brothers
 
9. We become what we expect to become.  Greatness can be achieved only if we expect it from ourselves and from others!  James Ericson
 
10. An oak and a reed were arguing about their strength.  When a strong wind came up, the reed avoided being uprooted by bending and leaning with the gusts of wind.  But the oak stood firm and was torn up by the roots.  Aesop

THOUGHT for YOUR WEEK
Inspirational Words
By Catherine Pulsifer
 
Do you have quotes or sayings that encourage inspire and uplift you.  Here are inspirational words that provide just that for me.  Each year, I reflect on the words that have made a difference in my life. Phrases that have meaning to me because they have helped me overcome challenges, or have inspired me to continue working towards my goals, or words that have made me smile but also contain wisdom.  Also, these are sayings that I have shared with family or friends in the hopes that they would encourage and motivate them.  
 
Everyday is not a good day, but there is good in every day.
This is my favourite quote.  We all have bad days, and we can make the day worse by our own attitude.  If we reflect on this saying, it will help change our attitude and our bad day may not seem so bad after all.
 
No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
At times, we may not do something for someone because we think it is not enough; however, this quote by Aesop is one that reminds us that every small deed do make a difference. It also reminds me of the quote by Anne Frank, "How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world."  
 
You get what you give.
These words are short and simple but carry a lot of wisdom in them.  I believe that what you give comes back to you, always.  
 
Focus, focus, focus.
It is so easy to lose our focus; there are many things that can distract us from achieving our goals.  So often, I say these three words to remind myself of my goals and to do the things that I need to do.
 
Persistence prevails when all else fails.
This saying is one I refer to on a regular basis.  Each year, when I reflect on the thousand of quotes I have read, this one never tires.  It is one that motivates me to keep going.
 
It is wise to direct your anger towards problems - not people; to focus your energies on answers - not excuses.
These inspirational words were said by William Arthur Ward and are great to reflect on when you are angry or upset.  You can come up with a million excuses but it truly is a waste of time and energy; look for  the resolution not for an excuse.
 
The positive thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.
No matter what goal you are trying to achieve you have to visualize your success, be determined and go after your dream. You don't let any obstacles stop you; they may slow you down, but they don't stop you.
 
Every life is a story, make yours a best seller.
This saying is on a magnet that I have on my fridge.  It is one that I have shared with many.  It is one that inspires me every time I read it. . It also reminds me of the quote by Harald Anderson, In life we can have results or reasons.  Does your life have results or does it have reasons?
 
No matter what accomplishments you make, somebody helped you.
We all have had help from someone.  These inspirational words by Althea Gibson encourage me to help others just like others have helped me.
 
It is my hope that by sharing these inspirational words of wisdom that they give you thoughts to start the New Year on a positive note. I hope they encourage you to turn your dreams into goals, to be determined and always leave time in your life to help others. My wish for you is success and happiness in 2011.
