Attitudes
to Live By
|
"Happiness is
that state of consciousness which proceeds from
the achievement
of one's values."
~Ayn Rand~
"Leaders honor
their core values
but they are flexible
in how they
execute them."
~Colin Powell~
"Our principles are
the springs of our
actions. Our actions,
the springs of our
happiness or misery.
Too much care,
therefore, cannot be
taken in forming
our principles."
~Red Skelton~

Reginald was terribly overweight, so his doctor placed him on a strict diet. "I want you to eat regularly for two days, then skip a day, and repeat this procedure for two weeks. The next time I see you, you'll have lost at least five pounds," his doctor assured him.
When Reginald returned he shocked his doctor by having lost
almost twenty pounds. "Why, that's amazing," the doctor said, greatly impressed, "You certainly must have followed my instructions."
Reginald nodded, "I'll tell you what though, I thought I was going to drop dead on the third
day."
"Why, from hunger?" asked his doctor.
"No, from all that skipping."

From the desk of Bob:
I would like to make a special welcome to our newest
subscribers of Monday Morning Motivations. We appreciate the fact that you are
taking the time to read and consider the words of this publication.
Our primary mission is to
challenge you, encourage you and enthusiastically offer a bit of the personal
motivation needed to accomplish your life goals, dreams and potential.
Please, let me know if you
have any ideas or suggestions for topics or areas that we could and should
consider for future issues. I would like to remind everyone that on my website www.mrattitudespeaks.com there are
hundreds of articles I have written and published in the past archived there.
Allow me to encourage you to check out some of the postings.
Also, please check out: www.prairiebeaconradio.com, where
the mp3 audio versions of many of my favorite leadership, attitude, and life
strategy topics have been archived for your professional growth strategies.
I am reminded, of what is
often true when it comes to growing vegetables in the garden: When you are
green you are growing; but when you begin to ripen you begin to rot. It is a
natural process. Personally, I do not ever want to get in the place where I believe
I have "arrived" and have no more growing to do. For me, learning new things
must always be at the forefront of my life. I must never quit learning. I know
that if this ever occurs I will begin to acquire a certain "smell" and that is not a good thing.
Keep
growing! Bob

SEEDS of SUCCESS by Bob Prentice
|
|
At the Core there is a Seed
Someone, somewhere, somehow
instilled in you a number of beliefs and values, information and knowledge, or
skills and attitudes that must be with you today. I am sure that there were
parents, relatives, teachers, role models, etc. that guided you, or helped you
make right choices and decisions, right? I know I have had these key people in
my life. How fortunate we are!
During these difficult and
challenging times it is vital that we tap into our own personal core strengths,
values, traditions, attitudes, principles, and beliefs that when combined will
not only sustain us but strengthen us further in the weeks, months and years
ahead. Dig deep, search yourself, truly be honest and identify what it is that
makes you, you. This is referred to as tapping into your personal potential.
For over a decade now I have
been writing a series of articles I call Seeds of Success. It has been a
journey of exposing my heart, my head, my failures, my successes and sharing
them with whomever may read and heed. I must say this has not been
an easy process. Actually, sometimes it has been quite brutal. Exposing
intimate parts of my life to others technically has both its positive and
negative consequences and I have discovered them each. Originally, I thought this
would help me process information for my motivational talks and presentations
that I give around the United States. Ultimately, it has enriched
me in multiple ways that I would have never dreamed possible.
With the release of my first
book, Home Grown Seeds of Success,
and then several newspapers around the region picking up my articles to publish
them for their readers, and then their wanting to compensate me, my response can
only be, "Wow!" It has all been so very humbling and yet has challenged me,
even more, to press on in my writing skills and speaking craft. Let it be
noted, I attribute much of my success to my parents-my dad who taught me the
discipline of hard work, and my mom who always encouraged me to utilize the
creativity within me to solve life's challenges.
As I live out my passions,
focus on my priorities, and work on my goals I find that I am naturally tapping
into my core values, principles and so forth learned decades earlier in my
life. This is bringing greater joy and happiness into my life as I keep
digging.
The best part and the good
news is that if this incredible life management system will work for me it will
work for anybody who applies it. The tough part is actually doing it. Rigorous
disciplines and accountabilities are required for continued success in the
application of what we have learned.
Deliberate
implementation of the above attitudes will cause you to dig deep- to your inner
core-where you will find the seed of new birth planted, which can ultimately release
your God given potential and help to truly live the incredible life of which you
have always dreamed.
