“What is opportunity, and when does it knock? It never knocks. You can wait a whole lifetime, listening, hoping, and you will hear no knocking.
None at all. You are opportunity, and you must knock on the door leading to your destiny. You prepare yourself to recognize opportunity, to pursue and seize opportunity as you develop the strength of your personality, and build a self-image with which you are able to live / with your self-respect alive and growing.” – Maxwell Maltz quotes (US plastic surgeon, motivational author, and creator of the Psycho-Cybernetics, 1927-2003)
Today’s reminded me of an A-Z of cartoon motivators that I started a few years ago and got to about ‘h’ …I think.
Action is perhaps the most important key to getting more out of life. Dreams are important, but you can’t spend your entire life “dreaming” about how good things will be when….. (you can fill in your own blanks).
Ask – what can I do today? Then do it. And yes it can be that simple if you’ve done your planning.
Don’t let doubt cloud your thinking. Don’t let the naysayers put you off doing what you know you should be doing. Show, don’t tell – how good your life will be when …
And it all comes down to Action….well when you know what you want and why you want “it” of course.
Remember: Motive plus Action = Motivation
Here’s another cartoon I did for a ‘His N Hers’ calendar a few years ago….
Humour is one of the greatest environments in which you can learn some of your greatest lessons. So with the humour exuding from Richard’s cartoons and the seriousness of some of my writing that accompanies them, you will be supplied with a perfectly combined motivator that will be fixed in your mind and heart for many years to come.
Mentally and visually stimulated, you too will be challenged and equipped to be the very best that you were created to become.
Enjoy!

“…where Quality Motivational Content is Paramount!”
When a prickle pierces a bare foot, all the body is concerned about at that moment is how to alleviate the pain that has just penetrated its space. Nothing else is important. A minor event has suddenly become a major and until that thorny prickle is removed, nothing else really matters. The best way to deal with such an event is to quickly remove the prickle and to continue on your way. Don’t stay there. Don’t stop. Refuse to be deterred by the interruption and continue to move forward in the pursuit of your dreams. Don’t be distracted from your plan. Move forward with confidence.
When commissioning cartoons… Pick TWO of the three options!
Good+Fast = Expensive Choose this and I’ll postpone every other project on my drawing board, my round of golf or give up my footy match ticket and work day and night to get your job done. It WILL NOT BE CHEAP though!
Good+Cheap = Slow Choose good and cheap and I’ll still do a great job at a discounted price. But you’ll have to be patient while I fit you in after my higher paying clients, updating my web site, going down the gym, my footy matches, rounds of golf and liquid lunches!
Fast+Cheap = Inferior Choose this option at your peril. It will still be delivered on time but it will be inferior, as many corners as possible will be cut. You know the saying ‘You get what you pay for!’ The least favorable option in my opinion!
