Seen On The Back of My Business Card – 1 of 4

ByMatthew

“Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.” – Thomas Jefferson

This quote is rightfully at the top of the card, and, I believe most important. Without the right mindset nothing is possible, and with the right mindset just about anything is possible.

What do you think and believe about your goals? Do your thoughts and beliefs support a pattern of consistent action, experimentation and adaptation?

There’s a way to think about anything that either makes it possible or impossible.

    If it strengthens you, embrace it. If it challenges you, solve it. If it weakens you, replace it. Who said that? That was me. I have a couple more: If it repeats, question it (deeply, truly investigate it). If it hurts you, love it (and let it go).

  • Where Fear Comes From

    ByMatthew

    Fear comes from the future, and discouragement comes from the past. Both obsessions are linear mistakes. – Steve Chandler The mistake we make with time is that we think it’s a linear progression, with a now and two “thens” (past and future) and all the points in-between.
