Quotes to Live By

YPs GET MOVING!!!  I am currently working on my moving and shaking skills so I can leave the population of people of non-movers.  I love to see others be successful and am actually inspired by their success but its time to create my own success story for others to read and be inspired.  I stole this except/quote from an article @YPDSing  posted in our LinkedIn group and figured I’d share with you guys.  YPs make sure you are in the third class, the “those that move” class.

“Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.”

Recently I got a chance to lead a meeting, and to be honest, it did not turn out the way I expected it to. I did my best, and I continued on even though it was an uncomfortable situation for me. After the meeting was over, I was hard on myself because the meeting didn’t go as I hoped. But when I really thought about it, I came to the conclusion that this was a learning experience, and the next time, I will be better prepared if the situation occurred again. The most important aspect I believe is not the mistake itself, it is letting that mistake impede me from leading a meeting again. I am totally confident if given another opportunity I will be that much better. Success is all about falling and getting up YP’s, let’s not our failures deter us from reaching our Successville! We all live and learn!

“You can never go somewhere you’ve never been without doing something you’ve never done”

YP’s, if we want to change our lives for the better, we can not expect to do the same things and expect different results. We have to be able to get out of our comfort zone and challenge ourselves. Even though it can be uncomfortable, chances must be taken in order for us to accomplish our goals, whatever it may be. We have to be the painters in our lives if we want to create a masterpiece!
