We have learned that God’s call to service doesn’t always mean full-time work in missions or ministry; it just means full-time service to God wherever we are. Did I hear God’s call? Did I feel it? Is it in a still, small voice? Is it a dramatic event? Or is it just a feeling? I believe it can be all of the above.
I saw this image in my mind years ago…
God is calling me!
That’s why I love to draw cartoons!
Charlene Belitz and Meg Lundstrom, authors of the excellent book, “The Power of Flow” describe affirmations like this, ” Affirmations are positive statements you make to yourself, which consciously program the unconscious part of your mind and set the stage for self-fulfilling prophecy. They can be extremely powerful in producing results .” You can see the full article by Michael Mural at: http://www.cartoonmotivators.com/pages/FootyAffirmations.html
Here’s a cartoon I drew for my book Soccer Motivators – at the moment it’s still gathering dust on my hard drive – but it’s a goal of mine to complete it in the next three months…
Cartoon - The Power of Affirmations!
A client asked if I could come up with a teamwork cartoon to show working together could up their profits… here’s my initial sketch…
Together we can achieve RESULTS!
I’ve also dug out a few teamwork quotes that might inspire you…
A group becomes a team when each member is sure enough of himself and his contribution to praise the skills of the others. ~ Norman Shidle
One piece of log creates a small fire, adequate to warm you up, add just a few more pieces to blast an immense bonfire, large enough to warm up your entire circle of friends; needless to say that individuality counts but team work dynamites. ~Jin Kwon
Individuals score points, but teams win games.
– Zig Ziglar
G is for GOALS!
Here’s a few GOALS quotes I came across on my travels around the web…
“If you don’t know where you are going. How can you expect to get there?” Basil S. Walsh (This one inspired the above cartoon!)
“A goal without a plan is just a wish.” Larry Elder
“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” C.S. Lewis
“The more intensely we feel about an idea or a goal, the more assuredly the idea, buried deep in our subconscious, will direct us along the path to its fulfillment.” Earl Nightingale
As I’m just learning to play golf this quote really gave me a laugh!
It took me seventeen years to get three thousand hits in baseball. I did it in one afternoon on the golf course._-Hank Aaron, baseball
Hopeless Golfer!
One thing about me – I always dress well. I look the part of a golfer!
F is for Failure!
Here’s cartoon No.6 in my series of A- Z of Positive Thinking along with a few ‘failure’ quote….
“There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.” Colin Powell
“Life’s real failure is when you do not realize how close you were to success when you gave up.” Author – not sure!
“Success builds character, failure reveals it” Dave Checkett
“I didn’t fail the test, I just found 100 ways to do it wrong” Benjamin Franklin
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!
