Fully Engage in Your Career

“We are at our very best, and we are happiest,

when we are fully engaged in work we enjoy on our

journey toward the goal we've established for ourselves.

It gives meaning to our time off and comfort to our sleep.

It makes everything else in life so wonderful, so worthwhile.”

Earl Nightingale 1921 - 1989, Motivational Speaker, Author

As I see it . . . . . . .

Fully engaged in your career

You achieve more when you become fully engage in what you enjoy doing.

When you enjoy your career . . . . and turn your career into your passion . . . . you’ll become fully engaged in your success journey. When you’re enjoying what you’re doing . . . . your career takes on a new dimension and it will never seem like you’re working again.

Your motivation will soar . . . . and your career will move to a higher level. You will have an extra spring in your step . . . . and you’ll be enjoying your career.

Enjoying your work doesn’t mean that you won’t have bad days and challenges because guest what . . . . you will. When you enjoy what you’re doing you look at your challenges with a difference prospective and you become problem solver.

If you hate what you’re doing your career has peaked and heading down a very slippery slope that will end up in a crash and burn situation.

If you’re not enjoying your career will either have to change your thinking . . . . your attitude . . . . or recommit yourself to your career. Which will take a change of mind set on your part . . . . and changing the way you look at your career and refocusing your energies on productive activities.

You may also have to look at your association . . . . and evaluate the people who bring a positive influence into your life. . . . . Those who bring . . . . and create a negative influence into your life.

Eliminate the negative influences in your life . . . . and in your association. Connect with positive people that will booster your career. Find a mentor or a coach that will keep you moving in the direction of your goals.

Fully engage your career and eliminate the detractors from your life and you will be on the pathway of a successful career in doing what you enjoy.

Putting off Living

noreply@blogger.com (Lou Ludwig) — Sun, 25 Jan 2015 07:35:00 -0800

Putting off Living

“One of the most tragic things I know about human nature

Is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all

dreaming of some magical rose garden over the

horizon – instead of enjoying the roses that are

blooming outside our widows today.”

Dale Carnegie, author

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Putting off living.

Dream about your future as you would like it to be then go out . . . . and work hard to achieve the future you want.

Be appreciative for what you have . . . . and be willing to work for the things you want.

Live each day to its fullest . . . . and work at making your tomorrows a better day.

As you dream about the future look around you . . . . be thankful for the people and enjoy the things that you have in your life.

Enjoy living in the present as you pursue your dreams with the determination to live them.

When you get up each day be thankful for what you have in your life . . . . and say to yourself putting off living is not a option.

Success is Sizing The Day

noreply@blogger.com (Lou Ludwig) — Sat, 24 Jan 2015 06:05:00 -0800

Success is Sizing The Day

“I believe life is a series of near misses. A lot of what we

describe to luck is not luck at all. It’s seizing the day

and accepting responsibility for your future.

It’s seeing what other people don’t see

and pursuing that vision.”

Howard Schultz, CEO of Starbucks

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Success is sizing the day

Success is not about being lucky . . . .

Successful people earn their success . . . . by being dedicated in their quest to succeed and by being consistent in their activities to reach their goals successfully.

Success is not luck, it takes having a vision for what you want to achieve (your goals) . . . . and a plan of action to turn your vision into successfully achieving your goals.

Life is not about luck . . . . life is a series of near misses . . . . persistence . . . . and in creating a breaking through in your life. Success is about pushing through your obstacles when you feel like quitting . . . . and to keep trying.

You create a life of purpose when you have a vision for your future . . . . and are willing to pursue that vision with passion to achieve it.

Make everyday an important day in your life. Seize the day . . . . and the opportunities that each day offers. When you’re consistently looking for opportunities you will see things other people don’t see . . . . and we will create business advantages where other people miss the opportunity.

Take responsibility for your future and your success.

Success is earned . . . . one day at the time . . . . and by one activity at the time, done with excellence. Today is you’re to grasp . . . . and to move you closer to your goals . . . .and to greater levels of success.

Success is sizing the day . . . . and in making everyday an important day.

Limits Box You In

noreply@blogger.com (Lou Ludwig) — Fri, 23 Jan 2015 10:37:00 -0800

Limits Box You In

“If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or

anything else. It will spread into your work and into

your life. there are no limits, there are only

plateaus, and you must not stay there,

you must go beyond them.”

Bruce Lee, Actor

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Limits box you in

Think in terms of your possibilities . . . . not in your limits.

A possibility thinker sees unlimited opportunities . . . . and finds a way to peruse them successfully.

As you peruse you opportunities . . . . and you hit a plateau use it to launch pad to your next step . . . . and not a rest stop.

Be a no limit thinker and your world becomes a world of unlimited opportunities.

Limits box you in . . . . bring a no limit thinker opens the doors to unlimited opportunities.

Stop Worrying and Start Living in the Moment

noreply@blogger.com (Lou Ludwig) — Wed, 21 Jan 2015 06:37:00 -0800

Stop Worrying and Start Living in the Moment

“It’s no accident that things are more likely to go your

way when you stop worrying about whether you’re

going to win or lose, and focus all your full

attention on what happening

right in the moment.”

Phil Jackson, Basketball Coach

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Stop worrying and start living in the moment

When you live in the moment you’re making the most of each of the moments that you have been blessed with.

Your life is built on the little successes . . . . by making the most of your moments. Your moments become the building blocks for your future . . . . and the foundation that you build you future success on.

Let your moments become the strength that your future is built on . . . . and the strength of those moments will pull you through the changing condition you encounter.

Your moments may seem like they’re fleeting . . . But the results of those moments accumulate . . . . and in those moments you will either build the foundation of your future on bedrock . . . . or on quicksand.

Stop worrying and start living in the moment. Make every moment count in your day . . . . and you will be able to count on your moments to be your strength today and in the future.

The Passing of Time

noreply@blogger.com (Lou Ludwig) — Tue, 20 Jan 2015 11:00:00 -0800

The Passing of Time

“Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those

who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for

those who rejoice, but for those who love

time becomes eternity.”

Henry Van Dyke, poet

As I see it. . . . . . . .

The passing of time . . . .

Went you’re having fun . . . . time passes far to fast.

When you have pain in your life . . . . time doesn't seem to move at all.

How you look at the things in your life will determine the pace of time in your life. How you handle the things in your life will determine how you view things in your life.

Time will move at the same pace . . . . no matter what’s going on in your life.

Make the most of your life . . . . and your time will past at your pace.

The passing of time . . . . mainly passes in your mind and as a result . . . . How you see your time . . . . and how you use your time.

Being Prepared Removes the Fear

“Success in business requires training and discipline and

hard work. But if you’re not frightened by these

things, the opportunities are just as

great today as they ever were.”

David Rockefeller, American Entrepreneur and Chief Executive

of Chase Manhattan Bank

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Being prepared removes the fear

Being prepared for success removes the fear of moving forward . . . . and allows you to step forward with confidence.

Success will be available for those who are willing to develop the skills required to succeed . . . . and have the discipline to move forward with a purpose to pursue their goals and without fear.

As you move forward hard work with a purpose . . . . with a plan will keep you moving in the right direction . . . . and you will accelerate your forward momentum on your success journey.

Move forward with confidences . . . . and fear will evaporate into a distance memory.

Being prepared removes the fear . . . . and will continue move you in the direction of your goals with the confidence that you will successfully achieve your goals and dreams.

The stars . . . . the sparkle in the darkness of night.

They are there for you . . . . there will be times that you may not see them. But they are there when . . . . you need them.

One Constant In Life is Change

“We must welcome change as the rule, but as the ruler.”

Denis Waitley, American Motivational Speaker,

Writer, Consultant and Best Selling Author

As I see it. . . . . . . .

One constant in life is change

The one constant that you have in your life is change . . . . it happens with or without your input.

Change in itself . . . . is neither good nor bad it just is.

You can react to change . . . . and let the change that comes into your life control you and your future. Or you can be proactive with change. You can respond to change . . . . and stay in control of the changing conditions that come into your life.

You will experience difference levels of change in your live everyday some very small that goes almost unnoticed . . . and other change that can transform your life to a new level.

Take control of the change that enters your life . . . . with positive thinking and in your actions. Make the most of the positive change that comes into your life.

And don’t allow the negative change that you encounter to control your thinking . . . . your life or your future. When you encounter negative change, become a problem solver in the room. Look for the solutions . . . . and find the best way to remove the condition from your life in a positive manner.

Stay in control of change and you stay in control of your life. As change comes into your life look the rainbow of opportunity . . . . and pot of goal that the opportunities offer.

Do You Enjoy What You Do?

“Most people are so busy knocking themselves out

trying to do everything they think they should,

they never get around to do

what they want to do.”

Kathleen Winsor, American Author

As I see it . . . . . . .

You can go through life doing . . . . what other people want you to do. You can also go through life . . . . living under other people’s expectation for you.

Or you can go through life . . . . doing what you enjoy.

Your life is a series of choices . . . . and you choose the live you live.

Fear is a Paper Tiger

noreply@blogger.com (Lou Ludwig) — Thu, 15 Jan 2015 07:38:00 -0800

Fear is a Paper Tiger

“The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest

is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tiger, you

can do anything you decide to do.”

Amelia Earhart, American Aviation Pioneer

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Fear is a paper tiger

A person with fear in their heart derails their success journey . . . and kills their career.

No matter if it’s the fear of the unknown . . . . the fear of failure . . . . or the fear to take action fear paralyzes a person into inaction. That fear prevents a person from taking the actions required to succeed. It will also greatly hinder a person’s ability to be successful in almost any endeavor.

When you make a decision to act . . . . you will dissolve any fear that you have . . . . Once you act you find that your fears will melt away quickly with your actions.

Once you make the decision to act you find that you can do anything that you decide to do . . . . and believe you can do.

Fear is a paper tiger . . . . and the silent killer of careers . . . . and will derail your success . . . . and will move you into inaction . . . . and a lifetime of “I can’t.” Take the actions to move the fear out of your life. Move forward into the future with a “I can do it” attitude . . . . and the “I will zone” and you will find yourself accomplishing amazing things.

Make Your Choices Wisely

noreply@blogger.com (Lou Ludwig) — Wed, 14 Jan 2015 06:36:00 -0800

Make Your Choices Wisely

“One’s philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed

in the choices one makes in the long run, we shape our

lives and we shape ourselves. The process never ends

until we die. And, the choices we make

ultimately are our responsibility.”

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Make your choice wisely

The quality of your choices becomes the foundation . . . . and the building blocks for your future. Good choices will put down a strong and a deep foundation, one that will successfully support the weight of your success journey.

Your choices will determine the course that your success journey takes . . . . and the pace of your journey.

Your choices will either move you closer to your goals . . . . and to greater accomplishments. Or those choices will take you down path of frustration and missed opportunities.

You and you alone are responsible for your choices . . . . and the outcome of those choices. In some case the choice will be to say no . . . . or not to go a path that your don’t believe in.

Make your choices wisely . . . . because each of your choices will shape your future.

Go After What You Want to Achieve With Gusto

noreply@blogger.com (Lou Ludwig) — Tue, 13 Jan 2015 06:50:00 -0800

Go After What You Want to Achieve With Gusto

“One of the saddest lines in the world is, ‘Oh come now –

be realistic.’ The best parts of this world were not

fashioned by those who were realistic. They

were fashioned by those who dared to

look hard at wishes and gave

them horses to ride.”

Richard Nelson Bolles, author

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Go after what you want to achieve with the gusto

Don’t sit and wait for success to drop into your lap. No surprise here it won’t. If you want success bad enough . . . . you have to go for it with gusto to create it.

Choose to push your envelope . . . . step out of your comfort zone . . . . and pursue your goals and dreams with gusto.

Don’t settle for the status quo . . . . as the status quo becomes a dead end street that moves your career in the wrong direction. It also greatly reduces the likely hood of achieving your goals and dreams. The status quo may seem like it’s a safe zone at the time but in reality the status quo . . . . becomes the silent killers of careers.

To step forward in your career with a purpose you have to be willing to step outside of your comfort zone . . . . and to stretch your limits to new heights.

Success doesn't come to you . . . . the success that you want has to be worked for.

When you want to achieve your goals and dreams you have to be willing to go after them with gusto . . . . to stretch yourself . . . . and do what others can’t or won’t do.

Think and step out of the box of your comfort zone . . . . look for a creative direction and solutions.

Once you have a direction . . . . go after what you want to achieve with gusto . . . .

Waiting Around for Something to Happen

noreply@blogger.com (Lou Ludwig) — Mon, 12 Jan 2015 15:00:00 -0800

Waiting Around for Something to Happen

“So what do we do? Anything – something, so long as we

don’t just sit there. If we screw it up start over, try

something else. If we wait until we’re satisfied

all the uncertainties, it may to late.”

Lee Iacocca, Former Chairman of Chrysler

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Waiting around for something to happen

When there something that has to be done, step back take a look at what it is that has to be done. Determine what you’re going to have to do to get it done . . . . and then just do it.

Don’t sit there waiting around for something to just happen by itself, step up . . . . and do what has to been done.

There will never be a perfect time to do something . . . . Do what has to be done now . . . . and then do the best you can with the circumstances that you find yourself in.

Things can often not work out as you planned. In those times you have to stay strong adjust your plan . . . . and try again using the experienced that you have gained in the setback.

Life is not perfect so when life hands you a lemon . . . . it will be up to you to make lemonade.

Don’t wait for success . . . . waiting causes frustration . . . . and can lead to marginal decision making and moves success out of your reach.

Don’t sit around waiting . . . . Take decisive action now with the determination to create successful results.

your goal, you can get there if you willing to work,

it is called massive action. Action is the gas in the

tank. Without you, the car will not run.”

Marcy Blochowiak, Author

As I see it . . . . . . .

Fill your tank with enthusiasm

Put enthusiasm in your tank to keep your success journey moving forward . . . . and taking massive action to put you over the top.

Intentions will start your success journey . . . . but intentions alone will not keep your success journey moving forward or put you over the top.

To reach the top in your professional you have to know what you want to accomplish. It’s important to have written goals to give your success journey a sense of direction, a purpose . . . . and an action plan to achieve those goals.

Create Your Success Target

“People with clear, written goals, accomplish far more in a shorter

period of time than people without them could ever imagine.”

Brian Tracy, Self-Help Author, Motivational Speaker

As I see it . . . . . . .

Create your success target

Successful people know where they’re going . . . . and how they’ll going to get there. They create a road map for their success journey with a success plan and with written goals.

Your written goals become your purpose in life . . . . and the road map on your success journey. Your written goals create a target for you to aim for. Your goals will also map out your success journey . . . . and gives you your direction and a path to follow.

Referring to your written goals will also let you to measure your progress against your goals. Having written goals will let you know where you stand at any moments in time. . . . Your goals will let you know when you get off track and help you to get back on track quicker.

Written goals create the mile markers on your success journey that’s give you a way to check your forward progress.

Successful people achieve their success because they know where they’re going. How they’re going to get there . . . . and they have a plan to achieve the desired outcome.

Create your success plan with clearly written goals. Your goals create a target for you to aim for . . . . and a purpose to get out of bed every day . . . . Goals will guild you on the steps that you need to take on way your to achieve your long term success.

Leaders Are Those Who Empower Others

“Leaders will be those who empower others. Empowering

leadership means bringing out the energy and

capabilities people have and getting them

to work together in a way they

wouldn’t do otherwise.”

Bill Gates, Co-Founder of Microsoft

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Leaders are those who empower others

Empowerment of others creates a sense of ownership in what the person is doing. It will ignite their personal energy . . . . and pride to excel. Empowerment will elevate the level of a person, in their thinking, stretch their capabilities . . . . and will bring out the best in the person.

When you empower another person your showing that we have confidence in them . . . . and in their ability to successfully get the job done. Empowerment is also showing that you trust the person . . . . and their judgment to make the right choices.

Enterprising People Have Vision

“An enterprising person is one who comes across a pile of

scrap mental 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

person is one who sees opportunity in

all areas of life.”

Jim Rohn 1930 – 2009, American Entrepreneur,

Author and Motivational Speaker

As I see it. . . . . . . .

and assured, it may never arrive, mountains

will not be climbed, races won, or

lasting happiness achieved.”

Maurice Chevalier 1888 - 1972, French Actor,

Cabaret Singer, Entertainer

As I see it. . . . . . . .

The time to start is now . . . .

There is no perfect moment to start something . . . . and to move forward. But the best time to start is now . . . . and in this moment.

You can make all the excuses in the world for all the reason why you can’t start now. Or you can make the decision to move forward to the next level . . . . and the best time to start is now.

Not starting . . . . is practicing the art of procrastination of putting off what can be done today to some undetermined time in the future.

Starting now is making the decision to take control of your life . . . . and your destiny. The best time to take control of your future is now.

The time is now.

You can wait for a perfect moment . . . . but has you wait your life will pass you by . . . . and that perfect moment will never arrive. Or you can take control of the moments in your life . . . . and do the best you can with resources you have and start.

At that moment you will realize that the best time to start is now.

Success is Earned

Success is Earned

“I believe life is a series of near misses. A lot of what we

describe to luck is not luck at all. It’s seizing the day

and accepting responsibility for your future.

It’s seeing what other people don’t see

and pursuing that vision.”

Howard Schultz, CEO of Starbucks

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Success is earned

Success is not about being lucky . . . .

Successful people earn their success . . . . by being dedicated in their quest to succeed and by being consistent in their activities to reach their goals successfully.

Success is not luck it takes having a vision for what you want to achieve (your goals) . . . . and a plan of action to turn your vision into successfully achieving your goals.

Life is not about luck . . . . life is a series of near misses . . . . persistence . . . . and in creating a breaking through. Success is about pushing through your obstacles when you feel like quitting . . . . and to keep trying.

You create a life of purpose when we have a vision for your future . . . . and are willing to pursue that vision with passion.

Make everyday an important day in your life. Seize the day . . . . and the opportunities that the day offers. When you’re consistently looking for opportunities we will see things other people don’t see . . . . and we will create business advantages where other people miss the opportunity.

Take responsibility for your future and your success.

Be Your Own Person

“Each of us is issued but one life, and we know full

well how it will ends. It would be regrettable to

squander this one chance on someone else’s

appearances, someone else’s experience.”

Joseph Brodsky, Russian – American poet

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Be your own person

Your life is not a test drive it’s the real thing . . . . and it’s your time shine. Each day you pay the price of admission to live your own life.

It’s in your choices that you create value in you day and the direction that your day takes you in.

Make the choice to live your own life . . . . and to live it to its fullest. Live your life . . . . and be happy in the things you do . . . . and live a life without regrets.

Don’t squander your life trying to be someone else . . . . or living your life through another person’s experiences.

Be your own person . . . . make your own decision, walk your own path and lead your own life.
