Émile Coué

Acworth, GA – Emile Coue’ quote

“We possess within us a force of incalculable power, which, when we handle it unconsciously is often prejudicial to us.

If on the contrary we direct it in a conscious and wise manner, it gives us the mastery of ourselves and allows us not only to escape … from physical and mental ills, but also to live in relative happiness, whatever the conditions in which we may find ourselves.”

Parcells sobre la excelencia

March 21, 2024

Cincinnati, Ohio – Parcells sobre la excelencia

“Tú eres lo que tu récord* dice que eres” es una cita del ex entrenador de la NFL, Bill Parcells. La cita es considerada una de las más citadas en la historia de la NFL.

La cita de Parcells trata sobre su filosofía sobre la excelencia. Transmite la idea de que los resultados hablan por sí mismos y que, en última instancia, las personas son juzgadas por los resultados que obtienen.

Arrepentimientos

February 22, 2024

Kennesaw, GA – Arrepentimientos

Una encuesta realizada a pacientes de cuidados paliativos encontró que sus 3 principales arrepentimientos eran:

1. Tener una adicción dañina a acumular cosas materiales en lugar de crear recuerdos a través de experiencias significativas y relaciones profundas

2. Procrastinar hacer lo que realmente quiere hacer lo más pronto posible (dedica el tiempo que sea necesario a averiguar qué es lo que realmente quieres y por qué…), y

3. Ser altanero al preocuparse por lo que otros puedan pensar o decir. Al final, ¿a quién le importa realmente lo que los demás puedan pensar, siempre y cuando no te hagas daño físicamente ni a ti mismo ni a nadie más?

Se nos ha dado sólo un corto tiempo en la tierra, así que ¿por qué no dedicarte a lo que realmente te hace feliz ahora y no esperar hasta que ya sea muy tarde o preocuparte por las apariencias?

No te cuesta nada ser amable, el amor es un fenómeno recíproco y es más fácil encontrar más tiempo cuando no estás agobiado por un montón de cosas materiales que adquirir y mantener.

Regrets

February 19, 2024

Kennesaw, GA – Regrets

A survey of hospice patients found their top 3 Regrets were:

1. Having an unhealthy addiction to accumulate material things rather than creating memories through meaningful experiences and deep relationships

2. Procrastinating doing what you really want to do as soon as possible (spend whatever time is necessary to find out what you really want and why?), and

3. Being prideful by worrying about what others might think or say. In the end, who really cares what others might think as long as you aren’t physically hurting yourself or anyone else. 

We are given only a short time on the earth as it is, why not pursue what truly makes you happy now and not wait until later or worry about appearances.  

It costs you nothing to be kind, love is a reciprocal phenomena and it’s easier to find more time when you aren’t burdened with lots of material things to acquire and maintain.

Time is precious

February 5, 2024

Acworth, GA – Time is precious

I keep an old Elgin pocket watch on my desk in an antique walnut stand to remind me that time is a most valuable resource. The engineering and technology that went into building the watch in 1910 was pretty incredible when you remember that most cities were still connected by dirt roads, horse drawn wagons, and maybe a railroad if you were lucky.

Everyone has the same amount of time but how we spend it is very important. Just think how many technologies have been introduced to save us time. Like Ben Franklin used to say about pennies, if we are cognizant of our minutes, the hours seem to take care of themselves. 

Spend your time wisely.

Destiny

December 29, 2023

Acworth, GA – Destiny

What does destiny mean to you? Can your “destiny” be changed or altered?

If something today changes the end result of one’s life, then which “destiny” is accurate? The before or after? The future has changed. So we do choose our destiny by our behavior. 

Our destiny adapts to the choices and decisions that we make in the present. External circumstances can affect our destiny but it is how we react to our environment around us that determines our future.

The Timeline…

“Past” choices and decisions affect the “Present” environment which has “Future” consequences 

Our future self changes constantly by the present environment. The past is a collection of previous decisions and choices.

The dictionary defines “environment” as “surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives or operates in the natural world”. Therefore natural activities affect our current environment.

We change our destiny every time we make a conscious choice or decision.

Be deliberate and intentional when creating your future.
