“Life is a daily cleansing. If you want to attract positive experiences to your life, negativity must be washed away” – TGL

Don’t waste energy dwelling on your past mistakes. YOU choose what to do with your time. You can waste it on pettiness or invest it into becoming a better you. Choose wisely and try to focus on the good in life!

“You get in life what you give out. If you want the world to celebrate your success, you have to celebrate the success of the world. And use others’ success as motivation and inspiration to go after your dreams.” - LL Cool J

It’s so easy to silently “hate” on someone. For some, it is even hard to watch someone getting blessed over and over again and wonder: “When is MY turn?” The fact that people around you are achieving greatness is proof that you can do the same. Don’t be jealous, be grateful that you are in good company.

More Words of Wisdom from LL Cool J…

Every thought is a seed. –Anon

Your attitude can make your whole world a heaven or a hell. You have the power to choose your thoughts. Maintain a positive attitude and give your attention to the things that make you feel good. Attitude is a small thing that makes a BIG difference.

“Keep your mind on the things you want and off the things you don’t want.”Hannah Whitall Smith

The key success all lies in where you place your focus. Whatever you give your attention to, grows. So, if your thoughts are consumed with negativity, your life will produce the same. On the other hand, focusing on positive outcomes can change your life for the better.

Keep you mind ON the things you want and OFF the things you don’t want…

The man who wastes time has not discovered the value of life… ~Anon

You can make more money but you cannot create more time. Therefore, time is the most valuable asset you have. That’s why you shouldn’t waste it. Life is all about maximizing every moment we have to be our best. When you spend time responding to negativity, holding on to grudges, or just flat out being lazy, you devalue your own life.

If something doesn’t make you happy, its not worth your time. Everyday you waste is one you can’t make up…

“A sign of wisdom and maturity is when you come to terms with the realization that your decisions cause your rewards and consequences. You are responsible for your life, and your ultimate success depends on the choices you make.” ~ Denis Waitley

Not taking responsibility may be less demanding, less painful and mean less time spent in the unknown. It’s more comfortable. You can just take it easy and blame problems in your life on someone else. But there is always a price to pay. When you don’t take responsibility for your life you give away your personal power.

Quote from Positivity Blog

“It’s never too late to be what you might have been.” – George Eliot

As time passes, it’s easy to think you’ve “missed your moment” but this is far from the truth. As you grow older, you’ll come to understand that the only things you regret are the things you didn’t do. Don’t delay your happy life.

Don’t be fooled by the calendar. There are only as many days in the year as you make use of. ~Charles Richards

Don’t waste your life doing something you don’t enjoy. If it doesn’t make you happy, its not worth it. As we remember the life and contributions of Don Cornelius today, lets not forget to make the most of every moment we are blessed to live.

It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help.  ~Anon

Successful people don’t have to tell you what they are doing because there is already EVIDENCE of it through their actions. Don’t talk about it, be about it…

If you have no will to change it, you have no right to criticize it. ~Author Unknown

Sometimes we’re so quick to look down on someone that we become judgmental when we should be helpful. It is better to correct than to criticize.

Instead of whining about a problem, DO something to fix it!

If you want to feel good about yourself, you have to let go of guilt. Dwelling on the mistakes you’ve made will only distract you from creating a better life. Forgiveness creates a better life for you and those around you.

Its so easy to think that we are hurting someone by hating them but this is FAR from the truth. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: “Bitterness hurts YOU more than the person you hate.” Why? Because feelings of anger, envy and resentment are negative emotions that produce negative outcomes.

Holding on to anger only hurts you, learn to let it go…

Everyone is talking about the Super Bowl and the NY Giants are a great example of today’s Midday Motivation. They had one of the lowest records in the NFC going into the playoffs. Despite their season getting off to a wrong start, they are STILL going to the “big game.”

Apply this in your own life. Success is a matter of holding on after others have “let go.” And success has less to do with where you began and more to do with where you FINISH. If you’ve fallen off, you can still get back on the ladder. The finish line may be much closer than you think!

Remember, when you blame, you give away your power. Own your choices. Take responsibility for your actions. Then, do all you can to improve your situation. Blaming another man for your misfortunes is like giving away the pen that writes your destiny.

“If something small has the power to upset you, does that not say something about your size?” ~ Anon

When a petty thing has the ability to make you mad, it does nothing more than reveal how weak YOU are. It’s okay to have a bad moment, but NEVER let your bad moment turn into a bad day. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Be the bigger person and walk away from petty arguments.
