Motivation Monday - the Universe doesn't care

     Today is Motivation Monday, the day I share a must read on my wish list of titles. This one is for those who have epic ideas but have to deal with fear.

the Universe Doesn't Give a Flying Fuck About You

     Life is too short to regret what you didn't do because you were afraid of the peanut gallery of nay-sayers in your life.  I definately fall into this category.  I worry almost endlessly about what others think about me, what I'm doing, what I look like...I've held myself in check, held my tongue and said nothing rather than allow my expertise and excellence to show at times because I feared what other's would think, if they would think I'm being a know it all...Lord forbid I make them feel stupid.  If you are at all like me, then this is an irreverent but insightful book for you!  And me, too!

“If you're worried about failing or need a push into the direction of actually trying something, read this! ”“This very short book is an intelligent, thoughtful, inspirational piece of work. ”

Book Description

"If you walk around every day on eggshells, nervous about making a mistake or looking stupid, then you should read this.

If you have a "next big thing" in mind you want to do because you know it will be awesome (starting the business, making the big move, launching the nonprofit, writing the book) but are afraid of doing what it would take to make that thing happen, then you should read this.

The universe is very big. You are very small. In fact, you're so small and so insignificant in the big picture that you don't even register to the eye of the cosmos. The universe was here before you were born and will be here long after you're gone, and your life is but a blip on its vast, vast radar. If your life is to matter, it's not going to matter to the universe. It's up to you make your life matter in the only way you can: by doing things that make a difference to you, to those around you, and to those whose lives you touch. Time is short. You have exactly NOW to do whatever it is you're here to do, or to let the inexorable passage of hours and days and years kill your potential like fruit left to die on a vine.

The universe doesn’t hate you, but it doesn’t love you, either. You’re just an atom in its infinite workings. The universe doesn’t care if you live, die, suffer, or thrive. Whatever your life here will mean is up to you.

Stop worrying so much about what others think and start being who you're supposed to be. It's time to do some epic shit."

Motivation Monday - the Power of Persistence

It's Motivation Monday again, the day of the week I share a pick from my wish list or titles I've already read.  Titles that will inspire you, motivate you and help you reach your goals.  Just 10 minutes a day with a book like this can change you perspective, and your life!

The Power of Persistence: Real Life Stories of Real People Creating Extraordinary Results

There's something we admire in those who never give up and never give in.  Those people appear unstoppable no matter what gets in their way because they seem to always find a way over it, around it or through it.  Is it something they are born with?  A super human, Terminator-type dedication to reaching their goal no matter the cost?  Or is it a simple law of physics: momentum?  Author Justin Sachs has some answers in "Chicken Soup for the Soul" style.

Unleash the Power of Persistence

What is the Power of Persistence?

What is the REAL "secret" to success and significance?

Isn't it time you found out?

Most people are so trapped in their past and their day-to-day to-do lists that they've lost strack of their biggest dreams and desires, and have lost momentum in actualizing them into their lives!

Now comes a book that brings the momentum back.

If you or anyone you know has ever wished for a second chance in creating success and fulfillment in life, or just to find more momentum in producing your goals, then you simply must read The Power of Persistence by Justin Sachs.

And now it's come into your life at this exact moment for an exact reason: to help you release the past, rediscover your strengths, and take action to make a greater difference in the world.

The Power of Persistence contains the most uplifting and impacting stories of how persistence has shaped the greatest leaders in business and life in general. Have you ever wondered what the difference is between those who have enormous success and those who just barely make it by? This book will show you why persistence is the number one skill the greatest successes have, and most importantly, how you can have it too!

Told in the inspirational tradition of The Chicken Soup for the Soul Series, Justin Sachs' The Power of Persistence is a book that will forever change your life.
