All’s Well that Begins Well | MWM
All Is Well That Begins Well = The word beginning speaks of anticipation—a fresh start. Your attitude on the front end of something new, determines your success on the back end. When you start something, begin with a positive thought. 






Beginnings are always hopeful—a fresh start, a new home, the birth of a child, a new job. There’s always an air of optimism that surrounds starting over with a blank slate—so much opportunity, potential and expectations for the future. You can determine to make a brand-new start from wherever you are now, today—and with the right start, you can have the perfect end.




The New Year is all about a new beginning—it’s why we are drawn to the extravagant celebration and festivities; it’s what keeps us up, counting down until midnight, to witness the start of our something new! But you don’t have to wait for the first of January each year to start over. If you aren’t satisfied with the way things are, change them—make a decision to begin again now.



In trying times, begin each moment with a positive thought. Today is your day to do anything you want! You may be feeling a sense of confusion or perhaps you're feeling a sense of positivity, whatever it may be, try to see the light in it.


Happy New Year! Just like that, another year has come and gone. Today is YOUR day to start fresh, create a new beginning. Take a few moments to yourself today and reflect on all you have achieved, mistakes or challenges you have faced and focus on how you want to continue to grow and invest in yourself this next year.

Obstacle Quotes

Quotes About Obstacles 

  • All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming. --Helen Keller
  • Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle. --Christian D. Larson
  • But the cure for most obstacles is, Be decisive. --George Weinberg
  • Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. --John Wooden

  • If you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere. --Frank A. Clark
  • Obstacles are necessary for success because in selling, as in all careers of importance, victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats. Yet each struggle, each defeat, sharpens your skills and strengths, your courage and your endurance, your ability and your confidence and thus each obstacle is a comrade-in-arms forcing you to become better... or quit. Each rebuff is an opportunity to move forward; turn away from them, avoid them, and you throw away your future. --Og Mandino
  • Obstacles cannot bend me. Every obstacle yields to effort. --Leonardo da Vinci
  • Obstacles cannot crush me. Every obstacle yields to stern resolve. He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind. --Leonardo da Vinci

Cuz he overcame all the obstacles. --Tupac Shakur

It’s Not the Size of Your Problem; It’s the Momentum You Come at it With | MWM
Managers Solve Problems, Leaders Create Momentum = The fourth principle of problem solving is to create momentum. Momentum can solve most problems. It builds energy and exaggerates things in a positive way that can carry you through a problem. It isn’t the size of your problem that is the issue, but the level of your momentum. The more you increase momentum, the more you can solve problems.

Desire is everything—it can literally overcome any circumstance, obstacle or hindrance in your way. People with desire—with passion—have already succeeded before they even begin—because they never considered that their dream, no matter its magnitude, cannot be accomplished.

Today’s Work is Tomorrow’s Success | MWM

Success Is A Journey = Graduation signifies that you have accomplished something, but you don’t become successful the day you graduate. You became successful the day you decided to go to school, take the course, pursue the goal. Success is a continual journey that shows up at graduation. Success is not the same as recognition of success. When we graduate we are being recognized for what we did right, yesterday.
