SUCCESS...BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE

TODAY AT WORK WE HAD A MEETING/ TRAINING AT OUR ADMIN OFFICE.

THEY BROUGHT IN A LADY I WANNA SAY HER NAME IS KELLY. WHEN YOU THINK WORK MEETING

MOST PEOPLE THINK OF IT BEING BORING...OR THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.

BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY FUN AND I ENJOYED HEARING HER. SHE TALKED ABOUT SUCCESS AND

BEING THE VERY BEST YOU CAN BE. I WANTED TO SHARE A FEW THINGS THAT SHE SHARED WITH US THAT I LOVED.

• THE FACTORS OF SUCCESS: ATTITUDE AND MOTIVATION

-ATTITUDE: IS MADE UP OF THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS THAT ARE MANIFESTED IN OUTWARD BEHAVIOR.

• THE POWER OF A POSITIVE ATTITUDE:

-IMPROVES COPING SKILLS

-CREATES OPTIMISM

-DECREASES NEGATIVE THINKING

-IMPROVES HEALTH

-INCREASES CRITICAL THINKING

-INCREASES SUCCESS RATE

• THE IMPORTANCE OF MOTIVATION

-ITS THE ONE THING THAT KEEPS US GOING WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH

-WHEN WE FEEL LIKE GIVING UP; WHEN WE FEEL LAZY; WHEN WE FEEL FRUSTRATED, ITS MOTIVATION THAT PULLS IS THROUGH

-WITHOUT MOTIVATION GREAT THINGS CANNOT BE ACHIEVED

• "WHETHER YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN, OR YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN'T, YOUR RIGHT." -HENRY FORD


• THE 7 KEYS TO MOTIVATION:

-CONNECT TO YOUR VALUES

-FIND YOU "WHY"

-SET GOALS

-TAKE ACTION

-TAKE CARE OF PHYSICAL/PHYSIOLOGICAL NEEDS

-CHOOSE TO BE EMPOWERED

-SURROUND YOURSELF WITH MOTIVATIONAL MENTORS

"SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE AREN'T BORN THAT WAY. THEY BECOME SUCCESSFUL BY ESTABLISHING THE HABIT OF DOING THINGS UNSUCCESSFUL PEOPLE DON'T LIKE TO DO. THE SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE DON'T ALWAYS LIKE THESE THINGS THEMSELVES; THEY JUST GET ON AND DO THEM." -JOHN MAXWELL

I have been reading a fifty day devotion book called Addicted to God. I love it, its nice to just sit down get away from everything that's going on in my crazy life and spend some time with just me and God. Yesterday was a crazy day I have some personal stuff going on in my life that I am stressing about but I have been really praying about it and putting it all in God's hands. I know he knows what is best for me and my future so I have stopped worrying about it and I know it will all work out for the best even if it doesnt go my way. So I wanted to share one that I really needed to hear....

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

-Romans 12:2

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

-Philippians 4:8

There is a saying when you put garbage into your mind and life, garbage will come out. When you put good things in your mind and life, then good things will flow out. I learned by reading this that your mind does matter and what you put into your mind will ultimately make the difference between peace and distraction. Your find is a powerful source of help and positive if you make it that way. You use your mind everyday all day so what your putting into it will make a difference in how you make the decisions through your day.
