“It’s not stress that kills us, it is our reaction to it.”
Hans Selye
Ahh! So profound! Everyone has stresses in their lives…everyday of their lives. Why do some people seem to be able to breath easy through them all and others’ manifest dis-eases within themselves in reaction to these stresses?
I’m a big advocate of meditation and energy healing as I believe both help to alleviate stress and also help you to use stress in a productive way. Stress doesn’t have to be all bad. Our reaction to it is what pushes some of us over the edge into destructive behavior, especially where our health is concerned. Getting a handle on stress can help you to live a longer, healthier life!

From Impossible to Possible

“The impossible can always be broken down into possibilities.”
Unknown
I like this quote in that it reminds me if I have a huge dream to take baby steps to get to it. If I try to jump from Point A to Point Z in my mind, I can often freak myself out and that can lead to me letting go of even attempting to accomplish whatever it is I’m wanting to do. But if I take it from point a to point b to point c…well then, nothing really seems impossible does it.
The impossible is only impossible until it isn’t!

“Life is ten percent what happens to you and 90 percent how you respond to it.”
Lou Holtz
This Lou Holtz quote on life is a great reminder that although we may not have complete control over what happens in our lives, we do have a choice in how we respond to what life throws our way.
Our choices are what makes us who we are. Each choice takes you on a different path so choose wisely!

Benjamin Franklin Happiness Quote

“Happiness depends more on the inward disposition of mind than on outward circumstances.”
Benjamin Franklin
If we let outer circumstances dictate our inner circumstances I’m pretty sure most of us would be miserable human beings.
We need learn to go within for our happiness. What I’ve realized over the years is that when I depend on myself to make myself happy…my outer world reflects that and the happiness that I generate within manifests without! How cool is that!

“Opportunities are multiplied as they are seized.”
Sun Tzu
I love this quote as it reminds me that the more opportunities I take advantage of when they come my way, the more opportunities will come my way.
It also reminds me that if I get lazy and decide to wait on things or procrastinate, the opportunities slow down or stop. If you take one step in the direction of your dreams, the Universe will take a step towards you and send you all kinds of opportunities to help you reach your goals.
So keep an eye out for any opportunity that comes your way and jump at the chance to take advantage of it!

Sayings and quotes about success can have a powerful effect on you. If you take the time to think about the deeper meaning behind the words, you’ll realize how easily you can apply these sayings into your own life to achieve the success you desire.
Here are the top ten inspirational success quotes, as well as some self-reflection questions to ponder:
1. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life, and that is why I succeed. – Michael Jordan
- Every failure brings an opportunity for growth and sets you up for future success in a new effort. For example, failing at one job may bring you the opportunity to enjoy great success in another. Learning from failure will lead you to greater achievement.
2. It is no use saying, “We are doing our best.” You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary. – Sir Winston Churchill
- Too often, people use “I did my best” as an excuse for not doing what really needed to be done. Plan and prepare appropriately for the task at hand so that you can do what is required to succeed. Using this results-oriented strategy will help you accomplish your goal.
3. We are told that talent creates its own opportunities. But it sometimes seems that intense desire creates not only its own opportunities, but its own talents. – Eric Hoffer
- Try new things to spark your passions and develop your talents. You may actually have talents that you’re completely unaware of. When you desire something with a fiery passion, your mind will push you to take action and persevere until you’re successful.
4. We were born to succeed, not to fail. – William Barclay
- You were put on the Earth to succeed in your pursuits. When you use your God-given gifts, abilities, and strengths to fulfill your purpose, success is within your grasp.
5. Success is not the key to happiness – happiness is the key to success. – Herman Cain
- When you’re happy with your life and you enjoy every moment of each day, it’s easy to feel the joy of success in the smallest accomplishments. Live joyfully and your positive attitude will attract greater successes.
6. Success doesn’t come to you – you go to it. – Marva Collins
- You need to take action to achieve your goals and get what you want out of life. Once you define exactly what you want, design a plan of action steps to get you there, and then follow your plan.
7. You must do the thing you think you cannot do. – Eleanor Roosevelt
- This quote is to challenge you. You must overcome your fears that are holding you back in order to become successful.
8. A great leader’s courage to fulfill his vision comes from passion, not position. – John Maxwell
- Believe in yourself. Know that you can achieve anything. Put your mind to it and be passionate about that which calls your name.
9. Forget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success. – Denis Waitley
- When you fail, opportunities open up to help you succeed. You may need to start your task anew or change your route, but each failure brings you closer to success.
10. Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds. – Orison Swett Marden
- No matter how tough a situation may be, don’t give up easily. When you persevere through great odds and overcome many challenges to achieve your goal, success is even sweeter!
Here are a few questions to reflect on when it comes to your own personal feelings about success:
1. When I suffer a setback, do I still persevere toward my goal?
2. Do I bring passion to my endeavors?
3. Have I designed my action plan to reach my goals? Have I taken swift action to get where I want to be?
