    motivational bookmark: you will find a way

    If it’s important to you, you will find a way. If not, you’ll find an excuse.

    When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place.

    When you feel like quitting, think about why you started.

    Joseph Goldstein - A Heart Full of Peace

    The commitment to morality, or non-harming, is a source of tremendous strength, because it helps free the mind from the remorse of having done unwholesome actions.

    Freedom from remorse leads to happiness.

    Happiness leads to concentration.

    Concentration brings wisdom.

    And wisdom is the source of peace and freedom in our lives.

    — A Heart Full of Peace by Joseph Goldstein

  • 20 Ways To Get What You Want

    Spread the love
    7 552      

    Offer value. In order to get someone to do something for you there has to be an incentive, or some type of reward.

    Laugh, smile, and express optimism and confidence. We are all drawn to people who appear resilient and hopeful.

    Share. Entertain others with jokes, stories, or insightful information. Be open and sharing.

    20 ways to Get What You Want: Laugh, smile, share, offer value, give guidance, and more. #laugh #smile

    Give a piece of free advice or offer some type of guidance. People will welcome such an approach.

    Establish your credentials. If people feel you are in a position to help them, now or down the road, they are more apt to work with you.

    Give guidance like a waitress who suggests you order something else when what you ordered is not a good choice. Everyone appreciates your honesty.

    Ethics can play a role. People like to help others who seem likeminded and to do business with those they trust.

    Beg. Another way to persuade is to plea desperation, but this won’t work too often with the same person.

    Play on their emotions. Appeal to what seems to trigger a response in them. Listen to what they say are their concerns and then react.

    Never underestimate the role ego plays in things. If you acknowledge someone’s opinion of themselves, you’ll advance far.

    Guilt works, if the person you deal with is fair-minded. Appeal to their sense of fairness and reason.

    Be a squeaky wheel. Complaining and whining won’t always get you what you want but they say the squeaky wheel gets the oil so in certain situations this strategy has a pay-off.

    Be open. Show a willingness to negotiate and show people you’re not greedy.

    Acknowledge concerns. Don’t come off as you’re right and they are wrong.

    Recognize and acknowledge the needs and circumstances of the other side.

    Don’t use threats. Threats, cover-ups, lies, and other improper or illegal means to persuade will work but they will come back to haunt you.

    Don’t overstate or overvalue your worth. Act reasonably, fairly, and kindly even if you believe you hold an advantage over someone.

    Understand them. One way to appeal to others is to get to know them and understand what makes them tick.

    Praise others and kiss their butts. You catch more flies with honey, so lavish others with kind words.

    Do not air strong opinions on sensitive matters, such as politics, sex or religion. You may offend someone in the process.

    Take Wing and Fly!

    How does one become a butterfly? You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar. — Trina Paulus

    When you want to fly like eagles, don’t dress as a turkey. — Xena, character in Xena TV show

    To seek freedom is the only driving force I know. Freedom to fly off into that infinity out there. Freedom to dissolve; to lift off; to be like the flame of a candle, which, in spite of being up against the light of a billions stars, remains intact, because it never pretended to be more than what it is: a mere candle. — Carlos Castaneda, author and mystic

    If you’re falling off a cliff, you may as well try to fly. You’ve got nothing to lose. — Captain John Sheridan’s father in Babylon 5 TV show

    Hold fast to dreams.
    For if dreams die.
    Life is a broken-winged bird
    That cannot fly.
    — James Langston Hughes, poet

    The reason birds can fly and we cannot is simply that they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings. — James Matthew Barrie, children’s book author

    If you cannot teach me to fly, teach me to sing. — James Matthew Barrie, children’s book author

    Good parents give their children roots and wings: Roots to know where home is, wings to fly away and exercise what’s been taught them. — Jonas Salk, medical inventor

    There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One is roots; the other, wings. — Hodding Carter, Jr., journalist

    But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. — Isaiah 40:31

    When you reach the end of all the light there is and you must step out into the darkness, remember that two things may happen: You either will find something to stand on or you will be taught how to fly. — Book of Edges

    A characteristic of the great saints is their power of levity. Angels can fly because they can take themselves lightly. — G. K. Chesterton, essayist and novelist

    Can you walk on water? You have done no better than a straw. Can you fly in the air? You have done no better than a bluebottle. Conquer your heart; then you may become somebody. — Ansari of Heart, monk
