Powerful Quotes &
Personal Thoughts

Even the most powerful quotes without our personal interpretation are simply words on the page

Recognize those who made a difference in our lives

2/18/2021

"We must find time to stop and thank the people who make a difference in our lives"
​- John F. Kennedy
Life could have been very different if certain people were not in our lives. I know that I have been in many tough situations in my life over the years, however, certain individuals - my best friend and my wife were always there to help me to get through those rough patches in life, and help me find the solutions or answers that I was seeking. If it wasn't for these people being present in my life, things would have been much, much, harder. Therefore, I believe it is very important to recognize and say thank you to those people in our life who have made a difference, who were there when we need it the most. Thank you! You know who you are :)

Being grateful...

"Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude"
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Being grateful for everything good that comes our way sounds like a no brainer. However, surprisingly we often forget all the good things that we have in our life, and instead choose to focus on all the bad and negative. Then, we get surprised when we start seeing more negative in our own life every day. There will always be good and bad situations that we will encounter throughout our life, so what's important is not to dwell on all the challenges that we face and, instead, be grateful for all the good that is surrounding us, and do so on the daily basis.

The challenge and reward of being humble

"Humility is really important because it keeps you fresh and new"
- Steven Tyler
Being humble can be a very difficult thing for some of us to accept and embrace, because, we want to be the center of attention and recognition among others - our friends, our peers, our colleagues. However, humility and the quality of being humble could be highly rewarding by many as a quality, because, instead of continuously pointing the spotlight onto ourselves, someone who is humble does not require the spotlight to show everyone what he or she is capable of. Humility is visible, recognized, and respected by those who take time to listen, observe, and learn actions and objectives set by everyone involved.

Energy and Persistence

"Energy and persistence conquer all things"
- Benjamin Franklin
I like how both energy and persistence were mentioned in this quote, because, you can't really achieve set goals and objectives with only one of the two. Persistence without energy is like a fast car without gas - looks great, has components needed to reach the finish line fast, but due to absence of fuel is unable to move. Same goes for energy and persistence, one needs to have both in order to reach the finish line. One may have strong persistence and ability to achieve great things, but without energy all it is going to be are just skills that are not being used to create progress, because, energy simply isn't there.

Actionable Steps and Plan of Action

"If you built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundation under them"
- Henry David Thoreau
Many people create goals in their mind, sometimes even put them on paper. However, very few actually take action and work towards accomplishing those goals. It is easy to say something that sounds good and interesting, introducing new idea, new goal, process improvement, but it takes work, and often very hard work and patience, to reach objectives set, or to implement a new process into action. So, it is important to follow up with actionable steps and detailed plan of action when introducing an idea, setting a goal, etc., painting the path of how you will accomplish set goals and objectives.

Dwelling on Positivity

"I know for sure that what we dwell on is what we become"
- Oprah Winfrey
When we are optimistic and have positive outlook on everything that is happening in our life, then we attract more of the same and become someone who expects greatness regardless how challenging things may get. On the other hand, when we dwell on the negativity and listen to everyone's thoughts and opinions on how we should live our life instead of our own, then we attract more negativity and pessimism into our life, which only complicates things even more vs. helping us.

The power of imagination

" Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere"
- Albert Einstein
Logic is important, and being able to use logic to navigate our daily lives is also important. However, imagination is what allows us see things that go beyond logic and take us into the places that we've never been, or places that only exist in our own mind and dreams. Imagination is what allows us create things that wouldn't be possible if we purely focused on what is logical. Sometime we need to step outside of the area of logic and step into the world created by our imagination, our wants and desires, in order to create something great.

What is strength?

"Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will"
-Mahatma Gandhi
If we have a strong will and persistence that cannot be overshadowed by temporary setbacks and disappointments, then I believe we are capable of achieving the goal(s) that we set for ourselves. Sure, we may have to deal with difficulties, failures, and other roadblocks along the way, but as long as our inner will and belief in ourselves and positive outcome are strong, then eventually we will accomplish that what we want in life.

Life is like a rollercoaster

"With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts"
- Eleanor Roosevelt
What may be going on in our lives today, and all difficulties that we may be facing today, do not necessarily define what our future would look like tomorrow, next week, or next month. Life is a long rollercoaster. It has its ups and downs. But, the nice thing is when we are going through a difficult times, we should know the difficulties are temporary, and remember that something positive, something good is coming, as long as we are ready to accept it into our life. Each new day has the opportunity to change our present. Only we determine what that change is going to be.

Mastering your ego

"Mastering others is strength. Mastering oneself makes you fearless"
-Lao Tzu
Just because you are capable of managing others, it does not make you a great leader or mentor. One must learn how to manage his or her ego internally, be willing and ready to recognize own opportunities and weaknesses, and be ready to work hard to turn opportunities learned into personal strengths. It's equally important for a leader to be open to constructive feedback, and be willing to make necessary adjustments and take necessary steps to implement lessons learned from feedback received into personal development plan. Once we learn how to effectively manage ourselves, we could be able to open doors to the world of leadership, personal and professional growth and development.
