Get Some Daily Motivation And Inspiration!

Maybe you need to find a better job, develop more confidence, or go back to school, and you need some inspiration. Perhaps you need motivation to keep visiting the gym, or to work at a sales opportunity, even your own home based business. Quotes and words of wisdom, can sometimes help you in many ways, and the more you fill your mind with these positive thoughts the better off you will be.

There are some awesome self-help authors out there, with some really fantastic books, and it is a great idea to read at least a few pages of these books, every single day. It is also great to read a daily source of inspiring words, such as a daily e-mail message, or a “thought for the day” calendar, and things of that nature.

You can do anything you want if you really put your mind to it, and don’t let anyone tell you that you cannot! Fill yourself up with positive words, and avoid the negative people that are around. Surround yourself with other positive people who are doing something with their lives. The grown men who sit home reading comic books, playing video games, and watching cartoons are going nowhere with their lives…guaranteed! Avoid these people like the plague! I was forced to write off a buddy of mine after 25 years of friendship because he became an energy vampire, practically draining people of their positive energy!

“Self-trust is the first secret of success.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

“They are able because they think they are able.” – Virgil

“If we only knew the real value of a day.” – Joseph Farrell

Life is too short to sit around broke, bored, or sad…get up and get out there and start living your life! If you need more money, then start earning more money, so that you can enjoy your life more!

My name is Father Time, and I write a daily motivational e-mail message, which can be seen by clicking here. I am willing to give YOU a free subscription, so hurry and sign up, and tell a friend, please!

You can do whatever you want with the remainder of your life…so get going!

How to be motivated to draw good back rounds ?

I love drawing things like people are animals, and I’m pretty good it, but I need to work on drawing back rounds like objects, landscapes,and buildings but I just can’t seem to find the motivation. When I try drawing a full background I get bored,tired, and give up, and work more on animals and people.But if I ever want to become a good comic book, or cartoon artist I’ll have to learn to be well rounded, so any tips ?

I know some of the basics such as drawing things further away higher on the paper,smaller, and less detailed.,and I know how to draw object such as spheres,pyramids,cubes, but I can’t seem to find motivation to draw a detailed buildings or detailed trees.

Thanks in advance.
I mean *people and animals* not “people are animals” :/

Well in a sense you have your motivation. Trust me as a comic artist your backgrounds or setting must be as interesting as your focal figures. You must stop thinking of the backgrounds as a field for the object of interest to exist in but as an extension of the emotion you as the artist are trying to convey. I think great inspiration comes from looking at great work. Look at an artist like Brian Froud to see how he makes every inch of his pieces dynamic. Or the work of Boris Vallejo! The Pre- Raphaelite movement!
To learn more techniques I would suggest going to smart flix and renting everything you can. They have hundreds of how to video’s and frankly there is always more to know. If you want to be a giant in your field you will need giant skills. Be a Bad A&&! Remember if all the worlds a stage then you want the best stage to play out your scene!
Something I know many working artists try and make time to do is Plien air painting. Are the shadows hot or cool. See the reflected light? Trust me you will never stop learning to see more. Just remember this is your craft! I hope this is a good starting place. You will love smartflix!

How to Determine Your Spiritual Gifts

Every believer has at least one spiritual gift according to I Corinthians 12:7, “Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.” God has given every one of us at least one spiritual gift to edify the Body of Christ. Although we all have a spiritual gift, we often do not know exactly what that gift is or how it should be used. Four Biblical passages provide the basis for teachings concerning spiritual gifts, specifically Romans 12:1-12; I Corinthians 12:1-31, I Peter 4:7-14and Ephesians 4:1-15.

Spiritual gifts are meant to serve the Body of Christ in the pursuit to fulfill the great commission. The three categories of spiritual gifts include the motivational gifts, service gifts and the manifestation gifts. The motivational gifts are often referred to as the speaking gifts such as evangelism and exhortation. Gifts of service usually involve ministries that supply a need, like the food or usher board ministries. The manifestation gifts include gifts of healing, speaking in tongues or any gift that produces a result that can be seen or touched.

Learning what gifts God has given you through the Holy Spirit is a life changing experience. Once you know what gifts God has placed in you, it is easier to move into the purpose for which God has created you. If you are not confident in knowing what gifts you possess, there are steps to bring you closer to knowing your purpose.

Step One: Listen to Your Heart

What are you happiest doing? What are you good at by nature? Knowing what brings your heart joy is the first step to discovering your spiritual gift. Often we operate unknowingly in our gifts, but on a much smaller scale than God would desire. Your natural reaction to a situation will offer insight to what gifts you possess. A person with the gift of exhortation will immediately begin to encourage someone facing an obstacle, while a person with the gift of intercession will immediately turn to prayer. A person with the gift of service will try to find a task that would lift some of the burden. Make a true observation of your heart; it will not lead you in the wrong direction as long as you are seeking God.

Step Two: Spiritual Gift Assessment

After you observe your heart, the follow up step is an assessment. A self-analysis of your strengths and interests will assist you with understanding specific areas of ministry for your talents. Evaluations vary in number and complexity of the questions and in their scoring methods, but often the results are relatively accurate. Assessments only provide a basis, they are not meant to replace seeking God to reveal your spiritual gifts. Primarily assessments spotlight gifts, such as faith, wisdom, discernment, or other qualities designed to glorify God. Free assessments are available with immediate results on the web.

Step Three: Pray

If you believe you have discovered your spiritual gift, ask God to confirm your discovery. The Bible tells us to do all things with prayer and supplication! Sometimes we learn how to do things and we learn certain responses, but it is not our true gift. God is the one who placed the gift inside you and he will let you know if you are on the right track. Even after you discover your gift, you must continue to pray. Prayer will help you remain faithful and humble in the use of your gift. Prayer will allow you to walk honestly and whole-heartedly in your gifts.

Step Four: Exercise your Gift

After you have discovered your spiritual gifts, learn to exercise them. Exercising what you believe to be your gift is the final determining factor of whether you posses a certain gift. For example, if you discover that intercession is your spiritual gift, but you find that you can never find anything to pray about, this may not actually be your gift. Likewise, if you believe you have the gift of exhortation, but feel like encouraging someone might be intruding, this may not be your gift. If you believe you have a gift, exercise it. If there is not a sense of fulfillment or joy just from exercising the gift (and not from affirmations by people), you may need to continue to seek God to reveal your gifts to you.

After you determine your spiritual gifts, continue to pray. The most important thing to remember is that gifts are given to edify the body of Christ and should never be used to promote negativity or competition. Ultimately, the gift still belongs to God and any power associated with the gift comes from God. Equally, any results from the use of your gift are up to God and are at his discretion. You do not bear the weight of “making” your gift work. You simply pray for opportunities to use your gift and an understanding of your gift.

Sales Motivation- Pulling the Correct Strings

Canvas Art

From Canvas Art to Sculptures art, You will find your passion.

Vintage art: If your furniture came from estate sales and antique stores, complement the pieces with vintage art. From turn-of-the-century advertising to classic pin-up girls to old movie posters, vintage art fits into a room where the past is fondly remembered. Vintage art also looks good in rooms featuring contemporary decor due to the play between turn-of-the-century and cutting edge.

Sea and shore art: Sea and shore art looks exactly like it sounds and goes well with cottage decor or beach themes. Choose from sea and shore art featuring sun-drenched palm trees or rain-soaked lighthouses to complement your whitewashed bead board and jars full of seashells.

Landscape art: Landscape art depicts the natural beauties of the land, from untamed wilderness to rolling fields of wheat. In addition to being very soothing, landscape art can also open up a small room. By hanging a landscape art print on the wall, you simulate a window, making a little room feel larger.

Asian art: Asian art brings the calming influence and calligraphic art style of the Far East to your home. If you have filled a room with shoji screens, cut bamboo and tatami mats, it makes sense to hang Asian art on the walls. Lotus flowers, bamboo prints and Kanji scrolls of Japanese character writing all emphasize your Far Eastern style.

Flowers and still life art: Floral and still life art depicts wild or domestic flowers, fruit arrangements or both. Floral and still life art goes particularly well with country decor, but with such a huge selection, every flower lover can find floral art to coordinate with her decor.

Cuisine art: For a kitchen, a dining room or a home bar, cuisine art reminds you that food is the main reason you’re there. Cuisine art has a variety of colors and themes, with everything from a farmer’s market to a classic French chef, so if you want to decorate with this type of artwork, you’re sure to find something appetizing.

Country charm art: The rustic charms of the country make a comfortable decor style, which can be completed with country charm art. Whatever country means to you — mountain cabin, quaint cottage, Provencal or Americana — there’s country charm art to complement your down-home tastes.

Contemporary art and abstract art: Sleek lines, neutral colors and metallic finishes are perfectly accented with contemporary art or abstract art that adds a splash of bright color or a geometric pattern to the room. Contemporary art often brings a sense of cosmopolitan sophistication to your living space, and Abstract Art is great if your decor doesn’t have a particular theme or motif.

Cityscape art: From old European cities to modern American bridges, cityscapes reflect the style of the city they represent. Each unique piece captures the flavor of city life and can enliven or calm your space. Finish off your Paris-styled apartment with black-and-white photography of the Eiffel Tower or complement your cottage or country decor with cityscapes of Tuscan villas.

Children’s art: Cartoon characters, whimsical animals and sweet children fill the children’s art that is perfect for your child’s room. Bright colors in children’s art let you easily coordinate decorations, and fun themes will delight your child’s imagination.

Motivational art: Decorate your office or study area with motivational art to inspire you to do your best. Motivational art may also be more personal in nature, so hang it where you can see it whenever you need your faith to be renewed.

What is motivation and concepts of motivation?

“Motivation starts with you so get motivated! Believe in Yourself and Believe in Others!”

What is motivation?

One of the most important factors that lead goals to the drive is Motivation. It is the goal oriented behaviors. Motivation can be attained with one self as well as by others. It is of various types. Getting a bonus or appraisal is also a motivation for an employee or the complements for good work is also a motivation to work hard. Motivation inspires one self from inner as well as from the external factors.

According to one of the universally accepted definitions of motivation, it is an internal condition that influences one’s behavior by giving it direction. Motivations is also been defined as a wish or want which directs and energizes behavior that is oriented to achieve a goal.

Concepts of motivation

There are two concepts of motivation one is intrinsic and other is extrinsic.

Intrinsic motivation is the motivation that is determined by an interest or enjoyment in the work itself, and it develops within the person rather than relying on someone else. According to the research intrinsic motivation is usually associated with high educational achievement and enjoyment by students.

Students are generally intrinsically motivated if they:

Trait their educational results to internal factors that they can control
Believe that they achieved what they desire and worked for they are interested in mastering a topic rather than just learning to achieve good grades.

Extrinsic motivation are from the external factors like rewards like money, bonus, coercion and threat of punishment etc. competition platys a very vital role in this concept as due to competition and ability to win a performer work more hard and thus get motivated. People cheering on the person and trophies or certificates are also extrinsic incentives.

Both concepts of motivation play a significant role in motivating a person.

Brian Tracy Motivational Success Quotes

Patriots’ Game

Friday night, August 26

In the corner of the blue carpeted, concrete-walled room, a giant floor fan whines, pushing around sweat-odored air. The locker room stinks, but at least it’s air-conditioned. Sort of. It’s better than being outside in the late-day, late-August New Orleans sun. So, the Patriots of John Curtis Christian School, more than a hundred of them, hang out in this dank room with missing ceiling tiles and funky smells. It barely contains them all.

The floor is littered with broken shoulder pads, socks, spools of athletic tape, Adidas sneakers, and the bright red or blue rubber Croc moccasins the players wear in the showers. A quote hand-painted on a scrap of plywood that’s duct-taped to the wall reads, Winners Concentrate on Winning, Losers Concentrate on Getting By.

They’re trading gossip, razzing each other about girls, or arguing about what to expect from tonight’s opponent, all fired up for a new season and the start of a new school year on Monday. A multiracial, multicultural gumbo of kids from all over the city and the suburbs, they’re sons of the wealthy and the just scraping by, they’re scrawny ninth-grade third stringers and oversized, muscle-bound starting seniors, and they’re all united in determination to bring the mighty John Curtis Patriots to yet another state championship this year. A few boys sit alone on stools, headphones blocking out the roar. Others are curled up in a corner trying to nap, while a few enact pregame rituals, getting their heads ready to play.

Offensive guard Andrew Nierman, a bruising six-foot-one, 300-pounder, ties the shoes of his good friend, 325-pound defensive tackle Jonathan “Tank” English. Tank earned his nickname in fourth grade, when he and Andrew dressed as army guys for Halloween. A snarky janitor told Jonathan, nearing two hundred pounds even then, that he looked like an army tank. In grammar school, he developed a bad habit of never tying his laces tight enough, so Andrew always tightens them for him before games.

Tank and Andrew are both the ambitious, determined sons of hard-working single moms. Tank’s father died of a heart attack two years ago, after a decade of battling heart disease, high blood pressure, and kidney problems. He was only forty-nine. Tank and his mom, Althea, who runs a day-care center, live in mostly African-American section of Kenner, a suburb just west of River Ridge, and Tank has attended Curtis since the third grade. Andrew, who has contended with growing up biracial in a still strongly segregated New Orleans, commutes from thirty miles away, where he and his mother live alone. He has no relationship with this father, who left years ago.

Andrew and Tank, both juniors, anchor the Patriots’ front line — Andrew on offense, Tank on defense. They’re both savvy, physical players who run faster than 300-pounders should, and the coaches are relying on each of them to play leadership roles this year. Off the field, their demeanor is more preacher — Tank — and teacher — Andrew — than bone-breaking tacklers. Tank is a warm, happy-go-lucky man-boy with a deep laugh and a melodious voice as smooth and sweet as jelly. He leads his teammates in prayer before games and is a great motivator on the field. Andrew is thoughtful, studious, and serious, with dark, intense eyes; a beefy bookworm in shoulder pads. He’s one of the smartest kids in the school and dreams of attending a top academic college, maybe even Harvard.

Linebacker Mike Walker and quarterback Kyle Collura practice their pregame handshake, a hand dance of high-fives, low-fives, and a fist-to-fist punch. They plan to do it after every touchdown this year. Mike and Kyle are also juniors, getting their first shot at full-time varsity this year. Mike has a linebacker’s stout body but a face that’s pure teenager, with braces, faint freckles, wisps of facial hair, and spots of acne that look like they’ve been digitally transposed there from a seventh-grade school photo. He’s chatty and a bit of a clown who loves to crack jokes in class. Mike joined Curtis only three years ago, commuting from Metairie, east of River Ridge, so that he could join the Patriots. He’s worked hard to impress the coaches and has just learned that he’s been made a starter this season.

Kyle is lean and loose-limbed, with droopy, Nicolas Cage-like eyes. He always seems half asleep, with slouched shoulders and a laconic, jazzy way of dropping words out of the side of his mouth, as if he couldn’t care less where they land.

Kyle was third-string quarterback last year, but was thrust into the starter’s job five months ago when the Patriots’ rocket-armed quarterback Johnnie Thiel unexpectedly left the school in a huff. Kyle knows he’s no Johnnie Thiel, who was all handsome and slick and funny and stylish, confidently strutting his stuff on the field and off.

Johnnie had attended John Curtis since the third grade, and was the Patriots’ great hope for this season. In 2003, he had started a few games as a freshman, even playing in the state championship game, a 12-7 heartbreaking loss that left him crying on the sidelines of the Superdome, where the state’s high-school championship games are played. Last year, Johnnie split time with a senior quarterback and helped bring the Patriots again to the championship. Johnnie scored twice in that game, leading the Patriots to a 29-14 victory — and their tenth undefeated season — and was named the game’s most outstanding player.

He was in line to take sole possession of quarterback in 2005, but his desire to make dazzling runs and hurl touchdown bombs that made the highlight tapes conflicted with the school’s old-fashioned, grind-it-out offense. What he really wanted was to be a star, and to catch the eyes of college recruiters. But Curtis is no place for that kind of star, favoring only hard-working, obedient, team players. So, he transferred to East St. John High School in the town of Reserve, twenty miles west but closer to his home.

That’s how Kyle, a virtual nobody on the 2004 championship squad, was tapped as the new starter. To make matters worse, shortly after taking over the job, Kyle fell on a tackler in a spring scrimmage and snapped his own collarbone. It has since healed, though still a bit lumpy, and Kyle returned to practice only a few weeks ago. He still seems protective of his collarbone in practice, and the coaches worry that he may not be ready for tonight’s game, mentally or physically.

Kyle’s well aware that all the fans in the stands tonight will be wondering, This is our new quarterback? This quiet third-stringer? This is who’s going to lead us to the championship? He’s anxious to prove he can carry his team, nervous, but eager to play.

Equally anxious is the team’s speedy, all-purpose playmaker, Joe McKnight, who’s in the trainer’s room getting his ankles taped. Joe has commuted to Curtis from Kenner since he was eight years old. A moody, sometimes stormy young man, he is mad at the world for sticking him with an absentee father and a mom who struggles to put food on the table. Joe and his mother have a complicated relationship and he’s been living in and out of their home, staying with friends and extended family members. Coach J. T. Curtis has offered him a room in his home repeatedly, but Joe always says no; he feels awkward about living with his coach, and about how it would look for an African-American kid to be living with a white family.

Joe is six feet tall, just shy of two hundred pounds, and combines the lightning speed of a Jerry Rice with the explosive power of a Barry Sanders, one of his heroes. Each of his biceps is covered in tattoos, one of which reads JOE above a picture of a tiger.

Joe and Johnnie Thiel were a daunting duo on the field last year, each making weekly headlines on the sports pages of the Times-Picayune. The coaches mainly used Joe as a defensive safety and on special teams, occasionally putting him in at running back, which is where Joe really wants to play. Last year, he made a strong case for that job by returning forty-three punts for 872 yards and nine touchdowns, averaging twenty-plus yards per return. On kickoff returns, he averaged thirty-one yards and scored three touchdowns. In the state championship game, when the Patriots were stalled in a 14-14 second-half tie, Joe broke free for a long punt return, which set up a go-ahead quarterback sneak by Johnnie.

Joe and Johnnie were also close friends, and when Joe decided — not for the first time — to move out of his mom’s house for a few months last year, he moved in with Johnnie’s family. The two boys shared a bedroom, the walls covered with football posters, and always drove to and from school and practice together. They considered themselves as much brothers as friends, and Joe was looking forward to two more years of Thiel-and-McKnight headlines. Johnnie asked Joe to come with him to East St. John, but Joe wasn’t up for that, and was deeply hurt by Johnnie’s transfer. A few weeks later, he moved out of the Thiel’s home and temporarily back with his mom. He’s since been in and out of her house, spending most of his nights on the couches of friends or relatives.

He hasn’t let any of that affect his playing, though. In fact, Joe worked harder than anyone in practices through the spring and summer. He is the team’s best all-around player, ranked among the nation’s top high-school prospects. Already he’s being wooed by USC, Miami, Notre Dame, and others, whose coaches have gasped at highlight tapes showing Joe accelerating past tacklers on one after another rocket-fast, touchdown-scoring punt or kick return. Joe is a beautiful, graceful runner, but also a bruiser who can make split-second decisions look easy: Should I hurdle this guy or plow into him?

Joe has a handsome face with a dark, intent gaze. Unlike most jumpy teens, who look everywhere but in your eyes, Joe makes hard, unflinching eye contact. He’s quiet, with a surprisingly sly, mischievous wit, but he rarely smiles, not even at his own jokes, not even when he scores.

As the trainer tapes up his ankles, Joe listens to a recording of a speech Al Pacino gives in Any Given Sunday, about how football, like life, is a game of inches, and how fighting and clawing for the extra inch can make the difference “between winning and losing, between living and dying . . .

“I’ll tell you this, in any fight it is the guy who is willing to die who is going to win that inch,” Pacino tells his team. “That is what living is. The six inches in front of your face . . . That’s football, guys. That’s all it is. Now, whattaya gonna do?”

The 2005 season begins tonight, and game time is just two hours away.
