THOUGHT FOR YOUR WEEK

Enthusiasm a Key to Success

By Catherine Pulsifer

If you approach any task without enthusiasm, the task will be laborious. With enthusiasm, any task becomes so much easier.

Enthusiasm can be contagious. When you work with enthusiastic people, you can't help but be enthusiastic yourself. Enthusiasm spreads like wild fire. Think of people you have worked with. Usually, those who show enthusiasm are fun to work with. And, those who have little enthusiasm usually bring you down.

I have a post-card on my desk taken from "Life's Little Instruction Book" that says: "Be the most enthusiastic and positive person you know!" When I am having a difficult day, I read that card, and it encourages me to change my outlook.

Much has been written about enthusiasm, consider the words of Samuel Smiles, "Enthusiasm...the sustaining power of all great action." And the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson who said, "Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm." And Vince Lombardi whose words may make you smile, but there is true wisdom in them, "If you are not fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm."

How enthusiastic are you?

POEM FOR YOUR WEEK

The Workings of a Successful Mind

by: Devin McMillan, © (2010)

The powers of the mind are not fixed

and science can never explain

What makes a person a success

yet leaves another so mundane

For whatever the mind can conceive

with enough thought it will deliver

There is no goal too extreme

when your mind is a benevolent giver

Take risks in your daily life

or you can conform like the rest

Since rewards are only granted to

those who have passed this test

Know that you have the power

to succeed in numerous ways

Or you can play it safe

being mediocre for all of your days

So keep positive in all you do

wielding your list of goals in hand

Fear not what others say

just focus on your plan

Enjoy every breath that passes

and every task there is to do

Since your actions will only play

the goals you have placed in cue

And always remember to gift

a little of everything you make

For life is defined by giving

and never by what you take

QUOTES for YOUR WEEK:

Blessed are those who can give without remembering and take without forgetting.

Elizabeth Bibesco

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

Winston Churchill

Simply give others a bit of yourself; a thoughtful act, a helpful idea, a word of appreciation, a lift over a rough spot, a sense of understanding, a timely suggestion. You take something out of your mind, garnished in kindness out of your heart, and put it into the other person's mind and heart.

Charles H. Burr

They serve best who give most of themselves. Self is forgotten by the one who serves, for such a one rejoices to see success coming to others through his or her efforts.

James Cash Penney

The measure of life, after all, is not its duration, but its donation.

Peter Marshall

POEM FOR YOUR WEEK

Smiles

Poet: Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Smile a little, smile a little,

As you go along,

Not alone when life is pleasant,

But when things go wrong.

Care delights to see you frowning,

Loves to hear you sigh;

Turn a smiling face upon her,

Quick the dame will fly.

Smile a little, smile a little,

All along the road;

Every life must have its burden,

Every heart its load.

Why sit down in gloom and darkness,

With your grief to sup?

As you drink Fate's bitter tonic

Smile across the cup.

Smile upon the troubled pilgrims

Whom you pass and meet;

Frowns are thorns, and smiles are blossoms

Oft for weary feet.

Do not make the way seem harder

By a sullen face,

Smile a little, smile a little,

Brighten up the place.

Smile upon your undone labor;

Not for one who grieves

O'er his task, waits wealth or glory;

He who smiles achieves.

Though you meet with loss and sorrow

In the passing years,

Smile a little, smile a little,

Even through your tears.

THOUGHT FOR YOUR WEEK

The Art of Living Each Day

By Wilferd A. Peterson

Each day is a lifetime in miniature.

To awaken each morning is to be born again, to fall asleep at night is to die to the day.

In between waking and sleeping are the golden hours of the day. What we cannot do for a lifetime we can do for a daytime.

Anyone can hold their temper for a day and guard the words they speak.

Anyone can carry his burden heroically for one day.

Anyone can strive to be happy for a day and to spread happiness around.

Anyone can radiate love for a day.

Anyone can rise above fear for a day and meet each new situation with courage.

Anyone can be kind and thoughtful and considerate for a day.

Anyone can endeavor to learn something new each day and mark some growth.

The supreme art of living is to strive to live each day well.

When we fail and fall short, let us forgive ourselves and consider the words of Emerson: "Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you will begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered by your old nonsense."

Live a day at a time and remember that tomorrow is another today.

Live for today. Multitudes of people have failed to live for today. What they have had within their grasp today they have missed entirely, because only the future has intrigued them.

You have to count on living every single day in a way you believe will make you feel good about your life - so that if itwere over tomorrow, you'd be content with yourself.

Jane Seymour

Do not look back on happiness, or dream of it in the future. You are only sure of today; do not let yourself be cheated out of it.

Henry Ward Beecher

Today is a new day. You will get out of it just what you put into it.

Mary Pickford

Some people are making such thorough preparation for rainy days that they aren't enjoying today's sunshine.

William Feather

Today's egg is better than tomorrow's hen.

Proverb

We want to live in the present, and the only history that is worth a tinker's damn is the history we make today.

We all get 24 hours a day. It's the only fair thing;it's the only thing that's equal. It's up to us as to what we do with those 24 hours.

Sam Huff

Today is the only time we can possibly live.

Dale Carnegie

STORY FOR YOUR WEEK

How I Made My Millions

By Catherine Pulsifer

I was working all day and took a break for my supper. I was flipping through the channels and just happened to come across CNBC's program, How I Made My Millions (http://www.cnbc.com/id/23131910/). I snickered when I saw the title of the program thinking, oh this must be one of those info commercials that promises to make you millions and most of the time you end up spending lots of money and making nothing.

The program came on and I was truly motivated by watching and listening. These were ordinary people, like you and me, with good ideas. They not only talked about their idea, they took action and persevered even though many people laughed at their idea. The last laugh is, of course, on those who originally laughed. The people featured on this show are now millionaires, and they persevered and took the steps necessary to achieve their success. Yes, they had setbacks, and rejection, but that did not deter them from continuing. And, it truly paid off for them.

So often we have a good idea but we don't take action. Or, we are discouraged at the challenges that face us. We give up far too easily, we don't persevere. I can remember when I worked for a large corporation, making a decent salary, but no longer enjoying the work I was doing. I wanted to work on my websites but I could not see any way to generate an income that would support my family. After years of frustration, I finally left my corporate job and focused on the websites. With focus and perseverance, I was able to learn and apply many different theories – some worked, others were disastrous, but I never gave up. I can't tell you how many times I read the saying on my desk – "persistence prevails when all else fails:. I am now generating a good income – I am not a millionaire – yet – but I continually learn and push the envelope.

The purpose in sharing this story with you is to encourage you to take action on your ideas, and to persist! Learn from your failures, overcome the challenges; and, as Walt Disney once said, "If you can dream it, you can do it."

"Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game, one foot from a winning touchdown."

H. Ross Perot

"Use the word PERHAPS to change your negative beliefs to possibilities that invite ACTION and, ultimately, to positive beliefs and probabilities."

Anita Foley

"For every failure, there's an alternative course of action. You just have to find it. When you come to a roadblock, take a detour."

Mary Kay Ash

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."

"Perseverance is failing nineteen times and succeeding the twentieth."

Julie Andrews

"When life knocks you down you have two choices- stay down or get up."

Tom Krause

"Some give up their designs when they have almost reached the goal; while others, on the contrary, obtain a victory by exerting, at the last moment, more vigorous efforts than ever before."

THOUGHT FOR YOUR WEEK

The Art of Achievement

by Wilfred A. Peterson

You hold in your hand the camel's hair brush of a painter of Life. You stand before the vast white canvas of Time. The paints are your thoughts, emotions and acts.

You select the colors of your thoughts; drab or bright, weak or strong, good or bad.

You select the colors of your emotions; discordant or harmonious, harsh or quiet, weak or strong.

You select the colors of your acts: cold or warm, fearful or daring, small or big.

Through the power of your creative imagination you catch a vision...

you dream a dream.

You visualize yourself as the person you want to be.

You see yourself as a triumphant personality striding toward far horizons of constructive accomplishment.

You see yourself as a master servant of the race, ministering to human needs, radiating happiness.

You see yourself as a builder, making a creative contribution to the evolution of modern civilization.

You strive to make the ideal in your mind become a reality on the canvas of Time.

You select and mix the positive colors of heart, mind and spirit into the qualities of effective living: patience, determination, endurance, self- discipline, work, love and faith.

Each moment of your life is a brush stroke in the painting of your growing career.

There are the bold, sweeping strokes of one increasing, dynamic purpose.

There are the lights and shadows that make your life deep and strong.

There are the little touches that add the stamp of character and worth.

The art of achievement is the art of making life - your life - a masterpiece.

Enjoy these inspirational quotes by Wilfred A. Peterson:

Happiness does not depend upon a full pocketbook, but upon a mind full of rich thoughts and a heart full of rich emotions.

Be gentle with yourself, learn to love yourself, to forgive yourself, for only as we have the right attitude toward ourselves can we have the aright attitude toward others.

You mould your character and your future by your thoughts and acts.

Decision is the spark that ignites action. Until a decision is made, nothing happens. Decision is the courageous facing of issues, knowing that if they are not faced, problems will remain forever unanswered.

Tell the funny story on yourself so that the laugh is on you; always laugh with others never at them.

He creates mental pictures of his goals, then works to make those pictures become realities.

Each day is a lifetime in miniature.

Stay young by continuing to grow. You do not grow old, you become old by not growing.

Begin today to be the person you want to be.

Big thinking precedes great achievement.

The finest gift a man can give to his age and time is the gift of a constructive and creative life.

Success is not arriving at the summit of a mountain as a final destination. It is a continuing upward spiral of progress. It is perpetual growth.

Be grateful for the precious gift of life with its limitless possibilities.
