"I love the smell of naplam in the morning; it smells of victory!' No prisoners in 2016!

Susan Laxson "Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve." - Napoleon Hill

it's not inspirational nor is it motivational, but I love it..... Warren Buffett's quote...." when the tide is out, those who are swimming naked are fully exposed"...... that can be applied to many scenarios, especially in the real estate business.....

There are so many, it is too difficult to have an absolute fave!!! One that does come to mind. "What would you do if you knew you could not fail?"

"I do as I please, and I do it with ease". Hey it's Sunday morning.

"Any fool can make something complicated. It takes a genius to make it simple". Woody Guthrie.

O God, give us the serenity to accept what cannot be changed,

The courage to change what can be changed,

and the wisdom to know the one from the other

attributed to Reinhold Niebuhr (1892–1971)

(prior to AA adopting it as their own!)

"Something wonderful is happening to you NOW."
Laura Huxley

So many, it's hard to choose.  I guess it all boils down to:
"Attitude determines altitude". - Zig Ziglar

Today my "Quote of the day" is in my blog "QUESTION?"

"Everyone one has a plan till they get hit in the face" 

Does not make sense until the source is known then all the overcoming adversity quotes surface.

NOTE: I have no admiration or respect for the one quoted.

As a man thinketh in his heart , so is he .

We will become that which we think about ! Your own Self talk will determine the use of your potential !

For me, it's a tie for #1 with these two:

"Ships are safest in the harbor, but that's not what ships were built for."

~Unknown

and 

"Orville Wright didn't have a pilot's license." ~ Unknown

You leap to fly not to fall.

"nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done." Rocky Balboa.

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the meoments that take our breath away." i see this quote every day on my desk!

How About Some Inspiration for the New Year!! 

Too many, can not pick just one.....

'' I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel''. –Maya Angelou

'' Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value''

'Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.'

The mind is everything. What you think you become.  –Buddha

Good morning Susan. "If you think you can or you think you can't, you are probably right".

I second that Michael Setunsky .

“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”

― Napoleon Hill

Susan,

Love your quote, it is one of my favorites also, but our guiding quote is "Be kind to everyone whenever possible, It is always possible."  Dalai Lama.  A

The "Ten Commandment's" then there are so many to mention.

I like a lot of Ben Franklin quotes,

"Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.”
― Benjamin Franklin

And while this one is not inspriational it may be motivational the next time one is voting or pondering many many issues that come up on a regular basis, "

“Those who surrender freedom for security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.”

Also a Ben Franklin quote.

It is not what you tell yourself, but what yourself tells you...Richfuscious

This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24

Too many to make a single selection!

Good question, i dont think i have one. I do like to quote something  "that if an agent cant find the time to do it right the first time, how will they find time to fix it?"

Herb Brooks, Lake Placid, 1980: Great moments are born from great opportunity.

Susan Laxson - to keep motivated....

"I have done it, I can do it again!"

Hunter Patch Adams: You treat a disease, you win, you lose. You treat a person, I guarantee you, you'll win, no matter what the outcome

I post a different one every day!

Hi, Susan...I have so many. 

One I think of every morning, though, is this...Eat that Frog. 

What that means is tackle your most difficult project, phone call or whatever and do it first. It makes the rest of the day so much easier. 

Great quote Susan, I am sure I will read plenty of good ones here today, but my brain is too tired right now to think of one myself.

Focus on the plan -not the problem

I don't have a favorite, but one of my favorites is by Alfred Tennyson:

“That tower of strength
Which stood four-square to all the winds that blew.”

I don't sugar coat stuff.  I'm not Willy Wonka.

Susan,
John Maxwell (paraphrase here)” Nothing changes until you change what you do on a daily basis.”

Mine would be a poem Myself by Edgar Allen Guest.

I love Robert Frost, Susan.  I have so many, I can't think of just one. 

I have several.  My top ones are: "No plan of battle survives the first engagement with the enemy."  and  "Damn the torpedoes!  Full speed ahead!!"

#1 has to be "To boldy go where no man has gone before"

Mine personal quote is "it is what it is". Not very motivating, but gets me through some yucky days sometimes. 

"Where there's a Will, There's is a WAY"!  Oh that is on my business card!

Far too many to choose one.  So much wisdom in the many jewels written by and spoken by others.

I do not have a favorite. 

"Never too old to learn something new." 

My bride

I don't really do these but i am anxious to read others- maybe I will add that to my day!

I have too many to list here.
