“Defeat is a state of mind. No one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as reality. To me, defeat in anything is merely temporary, and its punishment is but an urge for me to greater effort to achieve my goal. Defeat simply tells me that something is wrong in my doing; it is a path leading to success and truth.”
Bruce Lee 1940-1973, Martial Artist, Actor and Author

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!
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
Here’s an excerpt from Ryan Blair’s 100 Day Challenge – the cartoon is mine and doesn’t appear in the transcript…
We all know that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step and the same holds true for the 100 Day Challenge.
The goal choices you make today set the pace (fast) as well as the tone (playing to win), and the actions you take today determine both your direction and destiny.
To ensure a good start, you must take that bold first step, you must identify three achievable goals and you must pursue victory throughout the day. You must start the day fast and finish the day strong.
You must have the conviction that the purpose of setting a goal must be to achieve it, as there is no purer form of success, no more exact and exacting test of what you are capable of than to seize every opportunity, and achieve everything you set out to do.
First Steps to Success!
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
I’m always reviewing/looking at setting goals whether small and short term or big and longer term. I came across this quote on my travels….
“Set a goal to achieve something that is so big, so exhilarating that it excites you and scares you at the same time. It must be a goal that is so appealing, so much in line with your spiritual core, that you can’t get it out of your mind. If you do not get chills when you set a goal, your not setting big enough goals.”
Bob Proctor
A BIG GOAL should scare you!
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!
