Hope you are still celebrating the official start of Summer! Since it’s a short week - here are seven (7) “brief but bold” quotes that can help you set and celebrate your personal goals.
1. You get what you work for, not what you wish for: Intentions are great, but they are not actions. Dreaming gives you a goal to work towards. Success happens when you are doing the things you dream about.
2. Say it, forget it - write it, regret it: When it comes to what we do and say – you should always be measured. It is generally best (especially when you are frustrated) to verbalize your thoughts but not put them on social, online, and IRL writing where it lives forever.
3. Don’t solve a permanent problem with a temporary solution: Sometimes, we must do whatever it takes to survive. Even though it may be tempting to take a “quick fix,” – you should approach every decision by considering how it fits into your long-term plan.
4. Life is a game, so learn how to play it: There are “rules” to everything, including life. However, part of life is learning when to follow the traditional rules and when to make your own. Ask friendly, encouraging mentors to share their most important rules for business, life, and career.
5. Everybody does a better job when they do what they love: Enough said.
6. If you don’t have a cheerleader – be your own: We all need encouragement and someone who believes in us. If you have at least one person that has your back – anything is possible.
7. Ask questions of others, challenge authority, and the status quo, but never second guess yourself: Some people are their own worst enemy. Paralysis by analysis can prevent you from the very thing that you say you want. Nothing is guaranteed – but once you make a decision, stand by it. If it doesn’t work out, no worries, just make another decision.
This week find a new favorite quote and take it to heart. Or select one of these to guide your thoughts for every day of the week. Whatever you do this week, embrace a new idea or perspective.
