Each Day is filled with New Opportunities

It's easy to get caught in the grind of the 9 - 5 workday, but I always like to remind myself that there are always opportunities behind every challenge. Each new day is a chance to reinvent oneself and attempt to make the world a better place. Sometimes opportunities are just waiting to be found and we all need to do is change our perception of the task at hand and a solution will appear. Check out these daily motivators on this fine Tuesday! 

We all get to choose the kind of day we're going to have. We could let the obstacles and challenges set us back or we can grow from them, look to conquer them and celebrate the small victories in each and every day.

Saturday Morning Inspiration

As I sit and enjoy my morning coffee, I stumbled across some inspirational words of wisdom. I often talk about success, but we all measure success in various ways. Success to you could mean money and power, or it could be moral goodness. The quote below sums it up nicely...

"The only person you should try to be better than, is the person you were yesterday" - Unknown

Bruce Lee is one of my childhood favorites, and being a karate kid myself, I often looked to him as a role model. #2 is one of my personal favorites.

"If you truly love life, don;t waste time; because time is what life is made of" - Bruce Lee

Hope you enjoyed :) 

Vince Lombardi Quotes

I’ve compiled a list of quotes from one of the greatest coaches of all time – Vince Lombardi. His vision and leadership led teams to championships that coaches today often envy. Take a look at these while you grab your morning coffee. Carpe diem!

Words of Wisdom from Vince Lombardi:

1) “People who work together will win, whether it be against complex football defenses, or the problems of modern society.”

2) “Individual commitment to a group effort – that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.”

3) “Winning is not a sometime thing, it is an all the time thing. You don’t do things right once in a while…you do them right all the time.”

4) “Unless a man believes in himself and makes a total commitment to his career and puts everything he has into it – his mind, his body, his heart – what’s life worth to him?”

5) “Once a man has made a commitment to a way of life, he puts the greatest strength in the world behind him. It’s something we call heart power. Once a man has made this commitment, nothing will stop him short of success.”

Vince Lombardi Quotes

Habits Cultivate Success

Habitual tendencies can formulate prosperous outcomes. You are a product of your input and if you can create positive habits early, you will be successful. Proper work flow habits are the backbone and a source of reliance when your workload becomes hectic and crazy (and trust me, it will). Take a gander at these inspirational quotes.

Your career is an adventure. You need to be able to thrive in uncertainty. Proper habits can aid with this and be a framework you continually rely on.

Inspirational Sport Quotes

I look to athletes as role models, not only for myself, but for kids around the world. I like to look at athletes work ethic and embody that in my everyday work. They wake up at 5 Am for workouts, have practice, then watch film on the work they just put in. I respect that! Here are a few sport related quotes that you can implement into your personal philosophy.

Well said, Erin!

“Michael knows best”

The path of least resistance isn’t always the best. Sometimes you have to stick it out, fail, get up, and try again to become successful. Athletes have figured that out. Keep grinding and good things will come.

The Path to Career Success

One of the biggest false tales that mentors teach their followers is that the road to success is paved along a straight forward arch. In reality, the opposite is true. Success comes from chaotic development and spontaneity. People who are successful are fully adaptable and can pivot when they must. They can reroute their plan to find a better solution.

One must be able to embody as many skills as they can to be successful but they also must be able to pivot from one strength to another when times get tough. There's a balance in life and there are many paths to achieving your goals.

Athletes and Domestic Abuse

There has been a lot of Buzz around athletes this week (and not in a good way). They just can’t seem to do the little things right. I mean how hard is it to not physically harm another human being? I may be biased, but as a father, I feel like a line is crossed is when children need to be rushed to the hospital.

I’m an avid sports fan and have been for many years. I routinely follow the Lakers and my main man Kobe. I get my popcorn and “huddle” the family around our tv in the living room all day on Sundays. So, I’m not writing from an executive opinion but from a fan standpoint myself.

As fans, we want one thing. For our teams to win. Everything else in an athletes life that distracts the team from accomplishing this goal is a franchise problem. Businesses in in Baltimore have been PAYING fans to turn in their Ray Rice jersey. That’s right PAYING fans.

It’s time for change and to refocus on what we love – the purity of sports. No more distractions. Let’s just play ball.

Words of Advice from Walt Disney

I often look to the leaders and innovators of our generation to model my roles in business and in life. There are none greater than Walt Disney himself. He built an empire off of pure creativity and will power. He never gave up and that's what I try to emulate as I develop myself as a man and as a professional. Here are a few words of wisdom from Mr. Disney

I often worry about the minute details; I don't need to. 

Well said Walt, well said.

Career Advice and The Importance of Passion

Many people often have career advice for the up and coming youth of America. My philosophy is simple: If you work hard and respect others, everything will fall into place. Here are my Tuesday morning words of wisdom.

I stumbled across my passion through my roommate in college who was taking an accounting course. I'm happy to say the move was a great personal choice for me and every day I get to go to work on something I love. 

The best motivators in life and health always falls back to loving what you do. If you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life.
