The guy says, I wish someone would come by and turn me on. What if they don&#39;t show up? You&#39;ve got to have a better plan for your life than that.&quot; --Jim Rohn &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It&#39;s not a day when you lounge around doing nothing, it&#39;s when you&#39;ve had everything to do and you&#39;ve done it!&quot; --Margaret Thatcher &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn&#39;t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.&quot; -- Mark Twain &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Work harder on your self development than you do on your job, it makes you more valuble in the long term - Ray Garraud</description><link>http://exceedyourgrasp.blogspot.com/2008/09/motivational-quotes.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ray)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499552061808062168.post-2913091460073350974</guid><pubDate>Thu, 18 Sep 2008 04:40:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-09-17T21:41:17.958-07:00</atom:updated><title>Self Talk</title><description>&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/n0L1-fTC7F8&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/n0L1-fTC7F8&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;</description><link>http://exceedyourgrasp.blogspot.com/2008/09/self-talk.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ray)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499552061808062168.post-1403478825070772720</guid><pubDate>Mon, 15 Sep 2008 23:05:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-09-15T16:18:59.378-07:00</atom:updated><title>Turn Stumbling Blocks Into Stepping Stones</title><description>Not all days are gonna be great, not matter how positive you are and no matter how good your intentions are. The key is to focus on the end result of your plans. Stay on the path, ignore all the hassles and sometimes, you may even have to take a running leap through the hoop, even if it is in flames. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The tough times are there for a reason, they help you grow and prepare you for greater challenges up ahead. The value to be derived is never at the destination but during the journey.</description><link>http://exceedyourgrasp.blogspot.com/2008/09/turn-stumbling-blocks-into-stepping.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ray)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499552061808062168.post-6770563385253285440</guid><pubDate>Mon, 15 Sep 2008 00:09:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-09-14T17:20:52.861-07:00</atom:updated><title>The Power of Words</title><description>Here are some powerful quotes to consider ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We accomplish things by focusing on what we want, not on what we don&#39;t want - Raymond Garraud&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;‘What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself’ - Abraham H Maslow&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;‘Success follows doing what you want to do.
