Enthusiasm and Achievement

So much of what we achieve is directly related to our thought process. If we think we can succeed we tend to move in that direction. If we think we'll fail we limit our possibilities. It's normal to feel stuck and unmotivated but enthusiasm can help us move forward. Here's what some smart people have to say about the importance of enthusiasm.

Ralph Waldo Emerson:

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.


Oliver Wendell Holmes:

It's faith in something and enthusiasm for something that makes a life worth living.


Sophia Loren:

Getting ahead in a difficult profession requires avid faith in yourself. That is why some people with mediocre talent, but with great inner drive, go much further than people with vastly superior talent.


W. Clement Stone:

When you discover your mission, you will feel its demand. It will fill you with enthusiasm and a burning desire to get to work on it.


Winston Churchill:

Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.


Focus on things you are enthusiastic about and you will open doors.

Take care,

Getting Past Criticism

We've all been on the receiving end of criticism and, for some people, it can be debilitating and even paralyzing. The good news is you can take criticism, focus it in a different way, and use it to become a stronger person. Here is what some smart people have to say about the subject.

David Brinkley:

A successful person is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him or her.


Elbert Hubbard:

To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.


Franklin P. Jones:

Honest criticism is hard to take, particularly from a relative, a friend, an acquaintance, or a stranger.


Henri Frederic Amiel:

We are never more discontented with others than when we are discontented with ourselves.


Go out today and fulfill who you are regardless of what others say.

Have a great day,
