Note from Diane: I am a huge fan of philosophers of our time and take the greatest pleasure in reading words of wisdom from people like Denis Waitley, Jim Rohn, Zig Ziglar, Bob Proctor and others on a daily basis (and sharing some of their profound words of wisdom on my Facebook Page).
I have high standards for myself and others in my life when it comes to integrity, honesty and personal development and I know what an uplift I get from reading something profound and then thinking about WHY it has such an effect on myself and others.
So if you have missed some of these pearls of wisdom you’ll love today’s feature article because I’m going to be sharing my favourite quotes and why ….
Feature Article: My Favourite Quotes And Why …
Tony Robbins On Decision Making …
“It’s in moments of decision that your destiny is shaped” Tony Robbins …
I think this is one of the most important quotes ever written and one that you should remind yourself of every time you reach a point in your life that requires you to make a decision. Decisions are cause and effect in motion. When you make decision of any kind there are always going to be consequences and depending on how well you think them ALL through BEFORE you make a decision will inevitably determine how good or bad that decision turns out for you.
However the worst thing you can do is not make one.
Inspired Financial Freedom Quote For Women
“from birth to age 18, a girl needs good parents. From 18 to 35, she needs good looks. From 35 to 55 she needs a good personality. And from 55 on, she needs good cash” – Sophie Tucker
I think I first came across this as I was reading Kim Kiyosaki’s Rich Woman book and apart from the fact it is a bit laugh out loud funny, the message is absolutely clear and ultra-important. The odds of living happily ever after with the man of your dreams providing everything for you are found in Fairy Tales. This is the real world and women without independent financial freedom are at risk if they do not look out for themselves in life. (Most men I know LOVE that idea by the way!)
I’m All About #Attitude …
Grow the attitude … I’m activated
Grow the attitude …You are important
Grow the attitude …service first
My favourite philosopher of modern-day times is Denis Waitley and if you have yet to drink from his endless fountain of wisdom you should start now! Whenever I need some self-talk, or have a personal issue / family member crisis I always reach for Denis Waitley and read through some of his thoughts about family values and integrity. When you do this daily you will start to hear yourself USE his wisdom in your every day life.
This quote is all about having and living with a great attitude and putting service first. If you adopt 3 things in your life and business this week it should be exactly what is detailed in this quote.
The Late, Great Jim Rohn
“Some people plant in the spring and leave in the summer. If you’ve signed up for a season, see it through. You don’t have to stay forever, but at least stay until you see it through.” Jim Rohn
There are very few people who have been in network marketing at some point who do not know the name Jim Rohn. His wisdom, humour and delivery of his message is one that was unique to him and what set him apart from everyone else. His message is also timeless and provides you with a never-ending guide through not only building a great business but powerful lessons in life. Always inspiring!
This quote in particular is so common in today’s fast pace society that has people always looking for instant results or get rich quick schemes instead of learning the skills required and seeing it through. Commitment is always required as is perseverance!
A Timeless Quote From John F Kennedy
John F Kennedy asked the question “What would it take to build a rocket that would take man to the moon, land on the moon, take off from the moon and return safely home?”
He was met with a five word answer, it was The Will To Do It
Not technically a quote but a question that will get you through moments when you are just sitting there looking at your bank account, business plan, dream house or goals for the next 12 months and more … at the end of the day you just need to remember that 5 word answer to how you are going to achieve anything … THE WILL TO DO IT!
More From Denis Waitley
There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them. – Denis Waitley
This runs along the same lines as IF IT IS TO BE IT IS UP TO ME. Everyone (no exceptions) is in charge of their own destiny and you only have two choices give up or make it happen! I’m in the make it happen group!
Pure Gold From Zig Ziglar
Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude. – Zig Ziglar
I love this quote for a whole host of reasons but as I said before I’m ALL about ATTITUDE because it is everything you present to other people in life and that is a mighty important reason to be 100% aware of your attitude at ALL times.
The Greatest Lessons In Life From The Amazing Bob Proctor
“I believe people should study a little bit every day. It should become habitual, like brushing your teeth, combing your hair, having a shower or getting dressed. Study the mind, the laws of the universe and paradigms. There’s enough information on those subjects to keep a person studying forever.” —Bob Proctor
I am abundantly aware that this blog post could in fact go on forever so I’ve made this Bob Proctor quote my last one. I’ve learned so much about how the mind works from Bob Proctor that I will always refer to it and guide others with it because it really is so incredible that as he says you will be studying it for life.
We are only just beginning to understand the real power of the human mind and the laws of the universe but it is his life long study of Napoleon Hill’s book Think and Grow Rich that he has been studying for over 50 years that makes this quote one he clears lives by and sets an example to us all to be a life long learner.
