They replied, "Yes but motivation doesn't last very long." They are exactly right and I was trying to think of something to reply. Thankfully, I remembered a quote from Zig Ziglar when he was confronted by a participant in one of his seminars for Travel Agents International. "You are right. It doesn't last very long but niether does a bath. You have to submerse yourself regularly and often."

Words have probably gotten me more misunderstood and in trouble than any actions I have taken. I know my mouth is a size 7 because my foot fits in there perfectly. All too often my brain doesn't seem to be synchronized to my tongue.

On the other hand it is the words of others that I find the most inspiring. They can make a remarkable difference in my day, my attitude and my thought process.

Below are some quotes that I hope will inspire you today. Maybe they will jump start your imagination or reconsider what you thought to be absolute fact. May you have a terrific Tuesday.

Martin Luther King

You can have everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want.

Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.
Ronald E. Osborn

Regardless of your lot in life, you can build something beautiful on it.
Zig Ziglar

Decision is the spark that ignites action. Until a decision is made nothing happens.
Wilfred A. Peterson

Never lose sight of the fact that the most important yardstick of your success will be how you treat other people.

If you don't think every day is a good day, just try missing one.
Cavett Robert
