Musings: Quote Wednesdays…
“Music is the shorthand of emotion.” – Leo Tolstoy
For when sometimes words aren’t enough, or too much…the right song can say everything it needs to. The only international language – besides money and math – that can calm your thoughts and silence the noise of everyday life.
Like writing, what you put into it is what you get out of it. To all you musicians and artists out there – I just wanna say thanks, for expressing yourselves – thus letting me and everyone else express ourselves. Keep at it. You’re appreciated more than you think.
Happy Wednesday.

“The difference between…
Musings: Quote Wednesdays…
“The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.” – Vince Lombardi
Like I always say, it doesn’t matter how slowly you go, as long as you don’t stop. From exercise to monetary success, it’s a daily thing. Keep that will power up, keep making that effort, and always strive for the concept of Kaizen – consistent, incremental improvement. Even when we’re born – we learn to walk with a full stride from taking baby steps.
Happy Wednesday.

“A successful man…
Musings: Quote Wednesdays…
“A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.” – David Brinkley
No matter how much bull crap or negative stuff people throw your way, always push to flip it to your advantage.
I know sometimes in life we’re thrown curve balls, told we’re too old to do this, too young to do that, what’s the sense in doing this, no one’s ever been able to do that – but as long as you instead use those things that are said and flip them into fuel for pure motivation, like a stash of double NOS tanks under the passenger’s seat or in the back of your car, you can use that fuel like an extra boost, giving you that much more of a reason to prove all those nay-sayers wrong.
Nothing’s impossible. Stay motivated.
Happy Wednesday.

“Always be yourself…
Musings: Quote Wednesdays…
“Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.” – Bruce Lee
It’s not what other say you should be – it’s what you think you are. It’s not how others say you should act – it’s what you choose to express. It’s not what other say you can or can’t do – it’s what you yourself believe you can do…and it’s not who others say you should be. It’s who you want to be.
No matter what, although there are models and successful figures you may admire, it’s still about carving your own path, making your own distinct name, and writing your own version of history – by making it if you so choose.
Happy Wednesday.
“The greatest way…
Musings: Quote Wednesdays…
“The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be.” – Socrates
Pretty much speaks for itself. If you’re going to act it, do it. There are different ways to break your word, different ways to build, and destroy, your reputation, and different ways to show your character. Always make sure you strive to be the best in your attitude, your beliefs, and your ways you go about doing things. That, is one of the most essential, key things for success in business, and personal life.
Otherwise you’ll just be labeled as being full of shit. No one wants that.
Happy Wednesday.

“If a man achie…
Musings: Quote Wednesdays…
“If a man achieves victory over this body, who in the world can exercise power over him? He who rules himself rules over the whole world.” – Vinoba Bhave
I saw this and it really hit home, especially doing business in the health industry. Fitness is more than just a goal – it’s a lifestyle. It alters your thinking, balances your hormones, teaches self-discipline, reduces stress, heightens awareness and increases stamina, and makes you feel like…well, a rock star. Less of the alcoholic-druggy type, more of the I can do anything type. Twice a week, three times a week, five times a week. A little effort produces a lot of results.
Stay healthy.

“If one advances…
Musings: Quote Wednesdays…
“If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with success unexpected in common hours.” – Henry David Thoreau
UPDATE: Thought I pushed the Publish button last night and it seems I didn’t! Sorry about that guys. I chose to post this particular quote because it runs along the same lines of what I’ve been pondering over most of the week…heck most of the time, at any given time. You may have heard me say this before, but these type of things require reiteration.
As long as you keep your eye on the ball, your mind focused on the target, and your thoughts the way you want them to be, everything will fall into place…
Happy Wednesday.

“I believe that…
Musings: Quote Wednesdays…
“I believe that if life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade… And try to find somebody whose life has given them vodka, and have a party.” – Ron White
In other words, when life hands you unpleasant situations, try and see the opposite end of it…the more you exercise doing this, the more you can pretty much manipulate your thoughts and change your feelings in certain circumstances fairly quickly….but it takes practice….just like building up your alcohol tolerance ;).
Happy Wednesday.

“What we really…
Musings: Quote Wednesdays…
“What we really are matters more than what other people think of us.” – Jawaharlal Nehru
Thought this was pretty appropriate for the week. So often people are worried about what others think of them…little do they realize in doing that, they’re letting others write their life story…and this is the worse thing to do. You are the writer of your own book…the ruler of your own destiny…and the captain of your own ship. Let anyone take this away from you – and you’ve given up a part of your free will.
Happy Wednesday.

Waste your money…
Musings: Quote Wednesdays…
“Waste your money and you’re only out of money, but waste your time and you’ve lost a part of your life.” – Michael LeBoeuf
This is one of the many rules I live by. If you’re going to invest time in something…someone…or some place…make sure you invest wisely. There is no greater gift than time…use it in the best possible way, at every given moment.
Happy Wednesday.
