Take a look at the picture to the left.  What do you see?

Do you see a star full of lights?

OR

Do you see the one burnt out light?

In life, most people will focus on the one little insignificant light that’s not working, and then miss out on all the other lights.

When you focus on what’s missing, you miss out on what’s there.  
 

I have a question for you about toilet paper...and not the commonly debated question about whether you put the toilet paper on to roll over or under (though it's a great topic!), but what can toilet paper teach you about personal development and success?

Contrary to the popular myth, you don’t need to be motivated to get your goals.

Motivation is not required for success.  ACTION is what's necessary.

We only need to motivate ourselves to do things that “aren’t fun.”  Those activities you don’t like to do “require” motivation to get you going.  But when it comes to something you like to do, you never need to get motivated!  You simply get into action and do it. 

One thing we all want in life is to be appreciated. Feeling appreciated makes us feel good, and gives us the inspiration to continue on, knowing we’ve made a difference. When appreciation is lacking, we can get frustrated, discontent, and even become apathetic – wondering if who we are and what we do even matter.
