NO AUTHORITY IS HIGHER THAN REALITY

Truth isn’t a matter of your personal viewpoint.
Learn to see things as they really are, not as you imagine they are.

Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or who says it.
No matter what you believe, it never changes the facts.
If they are there, the facts always speak for themselves.

The truth does not change because it is, or is not,
believed by a majority of people.
If sixty million people say a foolish thing, it’s still a foolish thing.

The sky is no less blue because the blind man does not see it.

Parker I’M

Posted in Randomness tagged , , , , at 2:35 pm by Melissa Bailey

I just heard about this guy, Parker, and I think it is awesome what he is doing, 30 days of emailing and IMing for a good cause. Read his story/ blog here.

All Motivated Moms use MSN Live Messenger to communicate while we are on the phone or just throuhout the day to say hi or ask quick questions of each other. It makes everything way quicker and easier. And I love the I’M initiative that Microsoft created. Now, Parker has come up with an obviously logical but still ingenious mission to get people talking to help raise money.

Add me on MSN as well, melissa-bailey@live.com, I may not always be around because of the baby, but I love to chat.

LIFE IN ABUNDANCE COMES ONLY THROUGH GREAT LOVE

There is no force more potent than love.
Take away love and your world is a tomb.
Your life echoes emptiness without love.
With it, your life will vibrate with warmth and meaning.
Even during hardship, love will shine through.

As you look back upon the events in your life you will find
that the moments that stand out, the moments when you
have really lived, are the moments when you have done things
in a spirit of love.

If you have it, you don’t need to have anything else,
and if you don’t have it, it doesn’t matter what else you have.

Therefore, search for love.
Once you have learned to love, you will have learned to live.

Love is the most important ingredient to your success.

FREEDOM MEANS RESPONSIBILITY

Freedom is the right to live as you wish.
If you wish to free yourself from enslavement,
you must choose freedom and the responsibility it entails.
There’s a price for every freedom,
something to be given up for every liberty.

It’s up to you to weigh the price you must pay
for each of your freedoms.
And everything you want has a price.

Freedom is the opportunity to make decisions.
It’s the capacity to take a hand in your own development.
Freedom is the right to choose.
It’s the right to create for yourself the alternatives of choice.

No one is free who is not master of himself.
You are free to do whatever you like.
You need only face the consequences of your actions.

MOST SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE ARE DREAMERS

Your dreams are your visions of where you’ll be after the battle,
your prize at the end of your journey to success.
Your goals are the steps you take to finally attain your prize.

Unless you’re willing to work hard and establish some discipline in your life,
all of your dreams will be pipe dreams,
little mental fantasy trips that will never materialize.

Make concrete steps toward fulfilling your ultimate dream,
and start with solid objectives called goals,
Your dreams are where you want to go,
your goals are how you get there.

The first indispensable step
to getting the things you want out of life is this:
decide what you want.

Don’t be afraid to think big and dare to be great.
Dreamers are not content with mediocrity.
They never dream of going half way.

People with goals succeed because they know where they’re goin.

SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE MAKE DECISIONS

To control the outcome of anything,
you control the action at the point of decision making.
If you let others make decisions for you, you give up control.
When you control the decisions, you control the actions.

It’s your life. You decide what you’re going to do with it.
If you don’t run your own life, someone else will.
You’re in control of your life to the degree that you make decisions.

Take charge of your life, so there is no longer a need to ask
permission of others.
When you ask permission, you are giving someone veto power
over your life.

Take control and start making those decisions.
Only you are responsible for your life.

IT’S NEVER OVER UNTIL YOU SAY IT’S OVER

The power to hold on in spite of everything, to endure,
this is the quality of a winner.
Your greatest glory is not in never failing,
but in rising every time you fail.

It’s your constant and determined effort
that will eventually break down all resistance
and sweep all the barriers before you.
Persistence means taking pains to overcome every obstacle,
to do all that’s necessary to reach your goal.

All great achievements require time.
Endurance is the crowning quality of success.

YOUR ASPIRATIONS ARE YOUR POSSIBILITIES

The first ingredient of your success is to dream a great dream.
You must dream big and think big to be big.
High expectation always precedes high achievement.

You’re as small as your controlling desires,
or as great as your dominant aspirations.
Once your mind stretches to a new idea
it will never go back to its original dimensions.

If you dream of little goals you can expect little achievement.
Dream of big goals and you’ll win big success.

Inspiring video from Matt Harding

Posted in Randomness, Uncategorized tagged , , , , , , at 9:51 pm by Melissa Bailey

I found this video on Noob.us and nearly cried at how wonderfully brilliant this man united the world with dance. The song is lovely, and the dancing is funny to say the least, but just clearly inspiring. I had to get up immediately and dance with my son I was so happy about this video.

YOU ALWAYS HAVE ENOUGH TIME IF YOU USE IT WISELY

Your dilemma goes deeper than having a shortage of time,
it’s basically a problem of priorities.

Most people leave undone those things that should be done,
while they do things that they shouldn’t be doing.

Set priorities for your goals.
A major part of successful living lies in your ability to put first things first.
Most major goals are not achieved because people put second things first.

Is what your doing getting you closer to your objectives?
Anything that is wasted effort represents wasted time.

Don’t serve time, make time serve you.
