Put Some Air in Your Tires…

People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing.. that’s why we recommend it daily.
Zig Ziglar

The wheel was obviously a simple, but miraculous, invention. Some days, instead of spending effort on reinventing it, it’s better to simply make sure it has enough air to do its job.  Here’s a bit of “air” from some well-spoken motivators:

It is your attitude, not your aptitude, that determines your altitude.
Zig Ziglar 

When you set goals, something inside of you starts saying, “Let’s go, let’s go,” and ceilings start to move up.
Zig Ziglar

You know, people make a lot of money talking about me, don’t they? They just get on those shows, and they talk away. There’s nothing I can do. And that’s one of the great lessons I try to convey in my book, which my mother implanted in me as a young girl.. Is you can either be an actor in your own life, or a reactor in somebody else’s.
Hillary Rodham Clinton

The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.
Walt Disney

Explain to people that everything they say is an affirmation. Everything they think is an affirmation. Everything! What you want to do is to get control of what you are saying and thinking, so these things bring you good experiences in life rather than rotten experiences.
Louise Hay

Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve. Thoughts are things! And powerful things at that, when mixed with definiteness of purpose, and burning desire, can be translated into riches.
Napoleon Hill 

I don’t think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as somebody who from an early age knew I was responsible for myself, and I had to make good.
Oprah Winfrey

Do not wait; the time will never be “just right.” Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.
Napoleon Hill

The greatest good we can do for others is not just to share our riches with them, but to reveal theirs.
Zig Ziglar

Wallowing in the past may be good literature. As wisdom, it’s hopeless.
Aldous Huxley

Nothing of great value in this life comes easily. The things of highest value sometimes come hard. The gold that has the greatest value lies deepest in the earth, as do the diamonds.
Norman Vincent Peale

If you wait until all the lights are “green” before you leave home, you’ll never get started on your trip to the top.
Zig Ziglar

You can have everything in life that you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want.
