As my
day began on Wednesday I was reading through some blog posts and learned that
one of the greatest leaders of leaders had died. Zig Ziglar has inspired millions of people
through his leadership and motivation.
He has written numerous book, given thousands of
seminars, spoken at more than you can count events and made an impact over the
last 6 decades on leaders in business and the church as well as home.
His son Tom Ziglar has been a mentor of mine
of a couple years. The passion that
these men have for helping others is incredible. I’d like to share some of Zig’s zingers, I
mean quotes with you today…
“Success means doing
the best we can with what we have. Success is the doing, not the getting; in
the trying, not the triumph. Success is a personal standard, reaching for the
highest that is in us, becoming all that we can be.”
“You were born to
win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to
win.”
“You cannot climb
the ladder of success dressed in the costume of failure.”
“People who have
good relationships at home are more effective in the marketplace.”
“The way you see
people is the way you treat them.”
“Many marriages
would be better if the husband and the wife clearly understood that they are on
the same side.”
“You don't have to
be great to start, but you have to start to be great”
“If you aim at
nothing, you will hit it every time.”
“The more you are
grateful for what you have the more you will have to be grateful for”
“The most important
persuasion tool you have in your entire arsenal is integrity.”
“When you put faith,
hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.”
“Confidence is going
after Moby Dick in a rowboat and taking the tartar sauce with you.”
“People do not
wander around and then find themselves at the top of Mount Everest.”
“Most people who
fail in their dream fail not from lack of ability but from lack of commitment.”
“Encouragement is
the fuel on which hope runs.”
“Success occurs when
opportunity meets preparation”
“Don't be distracted
by criticism. Remember ~ the only taste of success some people have is when
they take a bite out of you.”
“You can succeed at
almost anything for which you have unbridled enthusiasm.”
I pray that God will raise up people to
inspire you. Read great books. Listen to people who have been there and
experienced life. Learn from what you
hear and take it to heart. Allow God and
His word to filter it all. God wants you
to succeed, and He has prepared you for success. Press on!
Hebrews 10:24
