Standing on one of the highest peaks in Mount Pulag

Successful people do what unsuccessful people won‟t

Create something bigger than yourself.

Greatness is available to all.

Soaring is not taught within the walls of academia.

Like the eagle, once we have learned to soar it almost seems effortless.

The heart is a powerful tool.

The faster you move, the higher you soar.

Rise above mediocrity.

The higher you soar, the more beautiful the view.

Success comes to the man or woman who gives more than they receive.

There is freedom in excellence.

You usually hit where you aim-aim high.

A life without goals is a life without meaning

Choose results over rhetoric

The nest is a temporary environment

Resign from all your worries. When you can mentally do this, good things have a way of working for you.

There is a danger in the comfort zone.

Never ever accept mediocrity

Those who envision greatness usually achieve it.

Make sure the mission is honorable.

Give life something unexpected, something extra. The payback will greatly surprise you.

“Never, never, never, never give up.” -Sir Winston Churchill

Doing the right thing requires courage.

The road to excellence has a little traffic.

Don‟t fall into a pathole of indifference.

A dedicated hearth is powerful.

Enthusiasm has a way of rolling over the mistake.

Give more than you are asked and you will receive more that you can dream.

Kindness and courage are great companions.

There is comfort among the stars.

Listen to your conscience.

Why accept the challenge? Because it's there.

We are all supplied with the tools for success.

Creativity is a gift, an unlimited source of power that can change your life when you learn to harness it.

The rush to adrenaline is worth the risk.

The power of desire cannot be calculated.

Go the extra mile.

The horizon of life offers great opportunities.

Those who have the right kind of character don‟t tremble at the first sign of adversity.

Great achievers dream the impossible dreams.

Venture where others don‟t dare to tread.

Practice while others are sleeping.

There are great opportunities in high places.

The higher you go, the less competition you will find.

One must never mistake the silence of the forest for the absence of activity.

Without vision, we are blind to opportunity.

Your choice: victim or victor.

Champion only accept excellence.

Creating Opportunity

This man peddles his native delicacies on a bike.
His income possibilities only limited by his creativity and imagination.

Intro

I usually hear people always complaining about lack of opportunity. May it be career or additional income. Jim Rohn always cuts the chase and goes direct to the point on what is the right mindset in order for this scenario to be a thing of the past on a person's life. To your Success!  

by Jim Rohn

An enterprising person is one who comes across a pile of scrap metal and sees the making of a wonderful sculpture. An enterprising person is one who drives through an old decrepit part of town and sees a new housing development. An enterprising person is one who sees opportunity in all areas of life.

To be enterprising is to keep your eyes open and your mind active. It’s to be skilled enough, confident enough, creative enough and disciplined enough to seize opportunities that present themselves... regardless of the economy.

A person with an enterprising attitude says, "Find out what you can before action is taken." Do your homework. Do the research. Be prepared. Be resourceful. Do all you can in preparation of what’s to come.

Enterprising people always see the future in the present. Enterprising people always find a way to take advantage of a situation, not be burdened by it. And enterprising people aren’t lazy. They don’t wait for opportunities to come to them; they go after the opportunities. Enterprise means always finding a way to keep yourself actively working toward your ambition.

Enterprise is two things. The first is creativity. You need creativity to see what’s out there and to shape it to your advantage. You need creativity to look at the world a little differently. You need creativity to take a different approach, to be different.

What goes hand in hand with the creativity of enterprise is the second requirement: the courage to be creative. You need courage to see things differently, courage to go against the crowd, courage to take a different approach, courage to stand alone if you have to, courage to choose activity over inactivity.

And lastly, being enterprising doesn’t just relate to the ability to make money. Being enterprising also means feeling good enough about yourself, having enough self-worth to want to seek advantages and opportunities that will make a difference in your future. And by doing so, you will increase your confidence, your courage, your creativity and your self-worth—your enterprising nature.

Love the Opportunity

by Jim Rohn

Somebody said you have to love what you do, but that’s not necessarily true. What is true is that you have to love the opportunity. The opportunity to build life, future, health, success and fortune. Knocking on someone’s door or making that extra call may not be something you love to do, but you love the opportunity of what might be behind that door or call.

For example, a guy says, “I’m digging ditches. Should I love digging ditches?” The answer is, “No, you don’t have to love digging ditches, but if it is your first entry onto the ladder of success, you say, ‘I’m glad somebody gave me the opportunity to dig ditches and I’m going to do it so well, I won’t be here long.’”

You can be inspired by having found something; even though you are making mistakes in the beginning and even though it is a little distasteful taking on a new discipline that you haven’t learned before. You don’t have to love it, you just have to learn to appreciate where you live, appreciate opportunity and appreciate the person who brought you the good news—who found you.

Appreciate the person who believed in you before you believed in yourself, appreciate the person who said, “Hey, if I can do it, you can do it.”

If you will embrace the disciplines associated with the new opportunity you will soon find that your self-confidence starts to grow, that you go from being a skeptic to being a believer. And soon, when you go out person to person, talking to people, you will find it to be the most thrilling opportunity in the world. Every person you meet—what could it be? Unlimited! Maybe a friend for life. The next person could be an open door to retiring. The next person could be a colleague for years to come. It’s big-time stuff. And sometimes in the beginning when we are just getting started we don’t always see how big it is.

So, before you are tempted to give up or get discouraged, remember all success is based on long-term commitment, faith, discipline, attitude and a few stepping stones along the way. You might not like the stone you are on right now, but it’s sure to be one of the stones that lead to great opportunities in the future.

                         

 To Your Success!

Are you up where you belong?

Pick the partners who are willing o soar with you.

Success is found in the opposite side of “Good Enough”.

Never forget the ones who helped you develop your wings.

Choose the passing lane of life.

Choose to be up here vs. down there.

Be committed to a cause bigger then yourself.

“ Come to the edge, he said. They said, we are afraid. Come to the edge he said. They came. He pushed them……and they flew.” -Guillaume Apollinaire
