Personal Development Quote of the Day - Determination

“Are we going to be determined and strong willed and find a way . . . it’s in the end that wins it.”

Mike Babcock,  Head Coach of the Detroit Red Wings

Goals are most often achieved not through skill but through perseverance. Its when we want something so badly and we just know we will achieve it, no matter what it takes. What about your goals?

Take a Good Look Around

The lyrics to Trace Atkins’ song “You’re Gonna Miss This” really hit me. My oldest son has left for college. I realize how quickly time has flown by. Often we don’t realize that these are and how important it is to take a good look around and really appreciate it.

You’re gonna miss this
You’re gonna want this back
You’re gonna wish these days hadn’t gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you’re gonna miss this

Personal Development Quote of the Day - Something Greater

“Glory is not a conceit. It is not a decoration for valor. Glory belongs to the act of being constant to something greater than yourself, to a cause, to your principles…”

“Because it’s only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.”

(As a Canadian, I watch the U.S. elections with interest. A lot of speeches, a lot of rhetoric - but isn’t that great? Think of all the countries where this is not possible?)

The Monkey’s Paw

When I was younger, I heard a story called The Monkey’s Paw. It was told around a campfire and it was about a man who had acquired the hand of a monkey. It was said that the monkey’s paw gave you three wishes but as you went through the story you found out that the wishes came with a terrible cost. When the man wished for a sum of money, he received it from life insurance, after his son died in a gruesome accident at work. The underlying message was that the man was greedy and it was because of the wish, that his son died.

To this day, when I want something, I wonder “at what cost?”  Can you imagine what effect this has had on my prosperity consciousness?  I have to stop and tell myself that the universe does not work this way. I have to stop and tell myself that the Universe is abundant and that there is more than enough for me and anyone else. What about you? What baggage do you carry? Do you remember “ doesn’t grow on trees” “you have to work hard for a living” or “rich people are greedy”?

If you are having trouble reaching your prosperity goals you may want to take a look at some of your underlying, sometimes subconscious beliefs about money and prosperity. It may be time for some new ideas, a new prosperity consciousness.
