Success Wallpapers Served

"Liberty"

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 20:00:00 CST

I've just posted my 68th motivational wallpaper up this afternoon entitled "Liberty". I wanted to get this new wallpaper up early this month so that everyone can get into the spirit to appreciate the upcoming holiday this weekend. This has always been one of my favorite times of the year.

I love history, especially history focusing on the American Revolution period. What America's founding Fathers fought, struggled, suffered, and died for can be so easily forgotten and taken for granted by our current generation. Many lives were sacrificed by great men who had the foresight and desire to do what they felt was right for their country. I feel it's important for me, as an American, and for us as a nation (if you are also an American) to reflect on how privileged we are to be able to enjoy the many freedoms we have, and thank God for those many liberties. Of course, I must note that the freedoms of which I describe here are those which would not cause harm or violate the rights of others. Liberties are a privilege, and with that comes responsibility to use those liberties with care and wisdom.

"Inspire"

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 22:00:00 CST

Well, after weeks of tweaking this so many times - while going back and forth between many photos and styles - I'm very pleased to say I'm ready to release another new wallpaper. Tonight I posted my 67th success wallpaper called "Inspire".

What I like about this image, is that all the light sources are not the same. Some are real obvious and dominant, while others are more subtle. In any case, they do provide light.

In life, we will meet a lot of different people. Some may seem to have it easy, while others struggle for everything they have. In either case, how they handle life, can be an great inspiration to others. There will be many that look to us as examples too, as we ourselves will look to others for inspiration as well.

"Planning"

Thu, 04 Jun 2009 22:00:00 CST

June is here, and summer is really starting to take shape. Living in Wisconsin, winters are the longest seasons of the year. So when the summer season comes around, I want to take advantage!

Living in the moment and enjoying what we have now is important. But planning for the future is important too. And that brings me to my main topic - which is also the theme for my 66th motivational wallpaper - "Planning".

"Reward"

Wed, 20 May 2009 21:00:00 CST

What do you think of when you read the following terms: incentives; commissions; bonuses; awards? These are all terms used to convey something that causes or encourages a given response by someone. Another word for this is motivation. It's used all the time. And one of the most powerful tools that people use to motivate others are rewards. And this is the topic I am focusing on for my 65th motivational wallpaper.

I call this one "Reward", making this wallpaper my 10th for the year.

The preceding list is a sample of the types of rewards we use. Many times, rewards are given to others in the form of money, possessions, or even simply recognition.

These are all fine and some are worthy of putting our efforts toward. But would you even consider the added benefit of self improvement as the higher reward, as compared to attaining the actual prize?

It would probably surprise you that most would only consider the latter as the real reward. Even fewer would go through the effort of trying something if they knew ahead of time that they would fail (of getting the prize), for the "becoming" would not be motivation enough - only the prize.

"Never Give Up"

Sat, 09 May 2009 13:00:00 CST

I've finished uploading my sixty-fourth motivational wallpaper to my gallery. It's entitled "Never Give Up". It features a quote from my favorite basketball player of all time, as I felt that this short quote summed it up well about how to face life's challenges.

I'd also like to wish all you mother's out there a very Happy Mother's Day weekend!

"Replenish"

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 21:00:00 CST

I've just finished posting another new wallpaper in honor of this week to celebrate both "Earth Day" and "Arbor Day". (This way, you all can enjoy it throughout the week.) I'll admit though that this was more to celebrate Arbor Day, but I didn't want to wait until Friday to release this.

"Replenish" is my sixty-third wallpaper in my gallery of motivational wallpapers, and is my eighth new one for the year.

"Joy"

Wed, 01 Apr 2009 14:00:00 CST

Well, today is April Fool's Day - a day in which jokes and pranks are pulled on some who may forget what the day stands for. Hopefully, the pranks committed are done with "love" or "class" so that the party in which the prank is done to can be able to laugh along too.

And with that thought, I wanted to make something related to humor and laughter. As I kept thinking about it though, I decided to go a little farther (and meaningful) in which I ended up on the topic of joy, which is today's new motivational wallpaper.

"Focus"

Fri, 20 Mar 2009 17:10:00 CST

Happy first day of Spring everyone! Just knowing that warmer weather is around the corner brings a smile to my face.

I just finished uploading my sixty-first wallpaper to the gallery entitled "Focus".

I took this photo last year in the spring and wanted to use it as a wallpaper to remind me of the fact that whatever we focus on in life tends to become our reality.

"Drive"

Sat, 07 Mar 2009 17:00:00 CST

I typically don't associate my theme directly with the author of the quote I use, but today I think it fits in perfectly. So, in keeping with my format, this new motivational wallpaper makes number 60 for my gallery, which I call "Drive".

Every successful person in life needs drive. But what is it? It could be said that drive is the desire to succeed. It is energy and initiative. But it's more than that.

I think Mario Andretti summed it up best in the quote above on what it takes to succeed. His formula to attain success starts off with desire, but then requires an ongoing blend of determination and commitment to excellence.

"Faith"

Fri, 20 Feb 2009 21:00:00 CST

This week was a very busy week, but also a very productive one as well. In addition to preparing a new motivational wallpaper for tonight, this week found me working ahead and creating about 5 to 7 new wallpapers (or at least some solid ideas). However, I won't release those until I've polished them up a bit and find the best fitting quotes to go along with all of them.

Now, on to the real reason why you probably visited here today. This new motivational wallpaper is number 59, which is entitled "Faith".

"Mood"

Sat, 07 Feb 2009 18:00:00 CST

Hi everyone. I'm back from my trip to Arizona, and ready with a new wallpaper. In fact, this wallpaper features an image I shot while traveling back home on the road. Arizona was really great, as it gave me a nice break from the cold weather of the Midwest.

This new motivational wallpaper is number 58, which I've named "Mood".

The reason I chose this image for the topic and quote, is due to the truth of what Emerson said about our moods. They can definitely color our point of view if we're not careful.

"Adrenalize"

Thu, 15 Jan 2009 15:00:00 CST

Well, it's been a busy week for me as tomorrow I'm leaving on a trip to Arizona.

I'm going to be gone for 10 days, but I wanted to get this new wallpaper up in the gallery before I left. So, I'm finally revealing to you a wallpaper I've been holding on to for a while now. I had finished this one a while back in the spring of 2008. However, I have my own little system of how I release new wallpapers on my site, and given the schedule I had this month, I thought that this would finally be the time to release it.

So, without further ado, I give you my 57th motivational wallpaper, "Adrenalize".

"Celebrate"

Thu, 01 Jan 2009 18:00:00 CST

What better way to start off the New Year than with a bright, shiny, new motivational wallpaper? Ok, so it's not "shiny"- but it's bright. I call this new wallpaper "Celebrate" as this makes number 56 for the gallery overall.

May this image help provide some positive perspective for you as well as a breath of fresh air for your soul.

Every year I tend to make a few New Year's Resolutions, which - I'll admit - I don't keep up with all of them. I was able to keep a few though last year.
