Inspiration from Within!

Friends, here are a few excerpts from my "Unstoppable You" speech, which was held on Saturday, November 12th, 2016. The title of the speech was "Inspiration from Within".
Every day is not going to be a sun-shiny day and actually if we are functional and authentic, life can be extremely challenging. However, we have choices. We choose to win, choose to lose, choose to take the path less traveled or we can expose ourselves constantly to negative influences, situations and people. We must be aware of our perception, because it will eventually become our reality.
Well, what can we do about this Kevin?
Well, I'm glad you asked!
- Do everything in your will to limit the intake of negative influences and find the positive, or at least the lesson, in everything. What you let in will eventually come out.
- Stop complaining! The negative vibes that a complainer gives off will eventually drain any bit of momentum in their lives.
- Commit to excellence and execution over excuses.
- Think positive! It will take you forward, give you confidence, hope, determination, drive and eventually favor.
- Stop blaming! Always take a look inside at the necessary changes that must occur. Commit to continuous improvement.
Friends, I don't claim to have all the answers, but I do know this - positive thinking and the proper attitude towards life come from within. Today, I'd like to challenge you to protect your inner well-being. Did you know that one small positive thought in the morning is so powerful that it could change the results of your entire day? Don't believe me? Try it!
Get your inspiration from within! Don't get your inspiration from the news, the newspaper or the Today show. Today, show yourself, that you have the power to change the future. We have everything we need to succeed within us. Our success relies on our ability to recognize that we have choices and that our daily responses and decisions matter. Always be on-point and on-purpose!

8 年I agree with your direction completely. Being a recovering critique-oholic myself I found that you must train yourself to be positive through constant reminders. I even started a blog to verbalize positive thoughts but have found that others are benefiting from it as well. https://choicesbyjanet.wordpress.com/ . And you are absolutely correct that starting your day off with one positive thought can rewire the direction your day goes. Thanks for sharing.

8 年This is all very true Kevin Jackson and on the surface, pretty easy to understand in my opinion. What is difficult is creating or establishing your "personal culture" where this attitude is second nature and becomes who you are. Like many things in life, it takes practice, hard work, and effort! Thanks for the post!
