Quotes IV

Quotes IV Pic

It’s the day after Valentine’s Day, how do you feel? Well I feel like motivating all my readers with some great quotes. What can you do today to help yourself feel like a new person that is getting love but also giving love at the same time? I’m talking about you being a walking talking love machine. I had to laugh at that last line. If your single and had a horrible day yesterday, don’t worry cause I wish you all the best for the rest of the year. Good things will happen to those who stay positive. Now I will release these not so bad quotes to you and I hope you can engage with them in fun and inspiring way.

Quotes IV:

Words cannot begin to express what you mean to me – Rich Uncle EL (Inspired by Mrs. Rich)

If you own and love what you do, success will follow – Rich Uncle EL

Life is never a certainty, but that doesn’t mean you give up improving upon it – Rich Uncle EL

Let the vision guide you to what is already within your dreams – Rich Uncle EL

Hope and Faith are necessary to propel dreams and aspirations – Rich Uncle EL

 

What can I tell you these random quotes just come to me like a bolt of lightning and I just have to share them with you? I can positively say that if you do not get motivated by these then you have serious issues my friends. These simple quotes make it possible for me to give you what I feel is the way life should be, a journey of constant learning, succeeding, and a passionate life.

I recently stumbled on a quote website to submit a quote and they only take submissions from famous people. I guess anybody can make a quote and claim to motivate you even though they are not famous. Why is it that our society only accepts quotes by successful people who are in the spotlight? We all have our own levels of success we all can be proud of, does that mean that I am not qualified to give you these powerful phrases because I am not on TV. I challenge all of you to think above those that want to bring you down by not validating how much you have succeeded in your own way. If you are year in and year out improving on life with all the aspects of it, and seeing results then you are definitely succeeding.

 

Comment if you have a quote you would like to share or how you felt after reading these quotes?

The Doom and Gloom behind News Media

The doom and gloom behind news media

Everyday does not go without the doom and gloom behind news media centralized on our nations financial conditions. I cannot tell you how many times I heard the term fiscal cliff in a span of 4 months and still counting, I am running out of fingers and toes. I ask myself why does all this doom and gloom crappy news sell or for that matter why do people want to hear it? I even got a random email from a coworker who could care less about his finances or being responsible with money, asking me what I thought of the fiscal cliff. I gave my explanation to him that it’s all hoopla based primarily on the elections. But that still doesn’t even begin to answer the question; why is there so much doom and gloom coming from all the media outlets and why do people care to hear it.

How many times have you failed?

Failure is a tough subject to speak about, but did you know that we all must go though some type of failure in order to reach success. Only the extremely lucky or the extremely gifted persons try something, see it through and succeed on the first attempt. For the most part people have to do something over and over again in order to really succeed and be recognized with what you are doing. For example a singer who has a good voice may sound good because they have practiced a particular type of song, but as soon as the singer is thrown into another genre or style of song they may choke. Practice takes a lot of effort and it really helps to get the help you need from the right people. A singing coach or a blogging mentor or a tennis instructor might get you from novice to expert with time, patience, and dedication. I ask you now; How many times have you failed?

Quotes III

Quotes III
 
Hey friends it’s time for some great quotes to turn your Friday, into the most motivating day of the week. I hear quotes all the time from various sources and it is great because quotes just put things in a better perspective for me. The quotes in some way or another just make me stop and think how can I incorporate what I just heard in my life. Get inspired today and live better tomorrow.
 
 
Quotes III:
 
– Your destiny is only told by you, your journey is only accomplished by stepping forward. – Rich Uncle EL
 
– Support those lesser than you, and you will be rewarded. – Rich Uncle EL
 
– I feel anxious because success is in my sights but not in my grasps – Rich Uncle EL
 
– Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other – Abraham Lincoln
 
 
 
1. What I mean to say by the first quote is that some people feel that, hey my destiny will all fall into place. But I see things as, we make our destiny by the choices we make in this life. If you sit on the couch day in and day out, what will that add to your destiny? Think about it because nobody is going to help you form a better more successful you.
 
2. This one is self-explanatory give support and later you shall receive it back one way or another.
 
3. This one is personal because lately I have been feeling anxious about pushing myself to win by achieving goals everyday and be the best person I can be with business dealings and with my personal life.  
 
4. A quote by one of the best presidents of all time. I found it and added it here due to what he stood for and how he became what he was from humble beginnings.
