Daily Inspirational Quotes with Questions

Ive got one that has always helped me.

"Worry is nothing more than negative visualization."

I dont know where it came from, but it is so true. Try to think of a time when you worried about something and it wasnt negative visualization... Granted sometimes you can control the outcome and other times it is totally independant of you, like worrying about a sick family member. I believe if you stick to your path and bust your a$$, things will have a way of figuring themselves out. I try hard to live with overwhelmingly positive visualization. I think of the wind filling the sails of my million dollar sail yacht as I leave port on a sunny day. I visualize driving a fantastic luxury car to a nice dinner with the girlfriend. I envision trips to fantastic places and the ability to never worry about money. I envision a big beautiful house with a pool, a gym, a movie theater, and 3 car garage on a beautiful golf course.

When I get done thinking about this life I want, I cant help but chase it with a burning desire.

This is not really a quote but it's my favorite poem of all time.
Found on the wall in a San Quentin prison cell by an inmate on death row. He wasn't the original author of it though..

"When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a day,
Just go to a mirror and look at yourself,
And see what that man has to say.

For it isn't your father or mother or wife,
Who judgment upon you must pass;
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one starring back from the glass.

He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest.
For he's with you clear up to the end,
And you've passed the most dangerous, difficult test
If the man in the glass is your friend.

You may be like Jack Horner and "chisel" a plum,
And think you're a wonderful guy,
But the man in the glass says you're only a bum
If you can't look him straight in the eye.

You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years.
And get pats on the back as you pass,
But your final reward will be the heartaches and tears
If you've cheated the man in the glass."

I've actually found some great value in these quotes which is why I've allowed them to continue to be posted, with the links.

Notice how "value" can even cause the rules to be bent.

Parts of this are paraphrased:

"I would always ask people, "why are you training." If the guy would say "I want to train because I think that if I get muscular then maybe I can enter a bodybuilding competition." I said, "sit down, if you think this way you're gonna be a loser, you're never gonna make it because there is no maybe. You've got to get up and say "I'm gonna be a champion, and I'll do whatever it takes, the visualization, reading motivational books, whatever it takes I will do."

You can detect right away those who will not go all the way and those who are hungry. You have to create a short term and long term goal and you have to go after it and you have to see it and believe it. You have to visualize your future and that creates the will you need to work every day, the will that makes you go beyond what everyone else is doing and makes you push forward. Being full of joy and looking forward to the end-result is the most important. Every day is getting you one step closer to that goal, to making your vision a reality.

YOU know, and it doesn't matter if anyone else knows, visualizing
yourself where you want to be and all you have to do is go towards
that vision."

- Arnold Schwarzenegger

"I thought it would be interesting to spread a thought which resurfaces in me on a regular basis. That there is a horrificly small number of seconds in an average lifetime.

1 hr = 60min * 60sec = 3600 sec
1 day = 3600sec * 24hr = 86,400 sec
1 year = 86400sec * 365days = 31,536,000 sec
70 years = 31536000sec * 70years = 2,207,520,000 sec

So, to reflect, there is only 2 Billion seconds in 70 years !!!! Perhaps, I've gotten used to seeing numbers of this magnitude. However this means that I cannot hope to count to 1 billion, let alone actually read and comprehend 1 billion written words. My intuition tells me this is small and gives me a bit a fright and a reality check that I will not have the time to do everything I want to or rather even very much. Remember, you are probably using a good number of seconds even reading this and reflecting!! 1.... 2.... 3.... 4....

Now, you should be thinking by now, that you have even less that 2 billion seconds.
----Half of your life you need to get refreshing sleep. So really, you only have 1 billion seconds of awake time.
----If you are in your late 20s, you probably only have 30-40 good years left if that. So 500 million seconds !!!
----Half of the time you are distracted by normal life of work, money, family/friends, or entertainment... 250 million sec
----Considering how long it takes to have original thought or understand something, say 1 concept every 20 minutes(1200 sec)... 250,000 concepts in your lifetime!!!"
