“Mediocrity always sets goals it knows it can achieve.
Excellence stretches itself.
And although it may not always achieve its goals…
it always outperforms mediocrity.”
~ Deborah Cole Micek

Things don’t turn up in this world until somebody turns them up.
~ James A. Garfield

As fast as each opportunity presents itself – use it!
No matter how tiny an opportunity it may be…
use it and use it quickly!
~ Robert Collier

Would you like me to give you a formula for success?

It’s quite simple.

Double your rate of failure.

You’re thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all.

You can be discouraged by failure – or you can learn from it.

So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because, remember that’s where you’ll find success. On the far side of failure.

Will Smith shared “The Keys to Life” with children on the “orange carpet” when he won the prestigious “Kid’s Choice Award” this year which is a true honor in and of itself because of the honesty that only children deliver. “Out of the mouth of babes.”

Here’s what Will Smith (highly successful entertainer, who made it as a rapper, a TV show sit-com comedian, blockbuster Movie Star, and probably one of my favorite actors/comedians of all time) shared on the Jay Leno show when he announced his new CD released this month, “Lost and Found”.

The Keys to Life according to Will Smith:

Runnin’ & Readin.

Key to Life #1 – Running:

When you’re running and that voice in your head that starts saying to you, “slow down, your ankles are hurting” tries to get you to stop, that’s when you keep on running and breakthrough.

When you learn to defeat that person inside that tries to get you to stop, you can defeat anything that stands in front of you. Anything that’s blocking your way toward your true purpose, destination and goal.

Absolutely Brilliant!!!
So profound, yet so simple to remember and apply.
~ Coach Deb

Key to Life #2 – Reading

Millions and billions of people that have lived before us have solved the same problems that you’re experiencing today. And they wrote down what they learned and discovered in books.

Those books are available to all of us, to tap into and gain that accelerated knowledge and use it to our advantage.

Any problem we may face – can be found in a book somewhere along with the solution to that problem.

Brill! For adults or for children, this is a 60 second motivator that can help anyone succeed. How many books have you read this month? ~ Coach Deb

For as a man thinketh… so is he
~ Proverbs 23:7

Whatever a woman thinks – about herself, about her potential – is who she’ll become.

Guard your mind – as it’s the key to your success!
~ Coach Deb
