Day 3 – Page 3

“Ability is what you are capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do.  Attitude determines how well you do it.”  ~Lou Holtz, former college and NFL coach.

I love this quote.  It reminds me that it doesn’t take just one thing to make you successful – you have to find the right mix of components to put you on top.  When I worked in corporate America, I had this hanging in my office, because, as I’m sure you all have experienced, there are days the ability might be there, but the motivation and attitude can be a problem!

When facing challenges, as we are now, it’s easy to just throw your hands up in the air and say “I quit”.  I have to remember to take a step in a positive direction – any step.  Just DO SOMETHING.  I can’t wait for things to happen to me – I have to be the driver, control the direction.  Granted, there are times that I don’t have the power or resources to do the thing I want, and that’s where faith comes into play – believing that everything happens for a reason, even if I don’t understand it.

Today, I am going to accomplish some things that need to be done before launching a new marketing campaign.  I am going to be motivated and keep a positive attitude to DO SOMETHING positive to steer us in the right direction to overcome these challenges.  Today is going to be a good day!

What about you?  What do you want to accomplish?  What are your motivation and attitude levels today?
