Beyond ambition
What do you want? What you do need? What do you crave? Wanting, needing and even craving things can severely limit your enjoyment of them and their value in your life. When you put all your energy into lusting after something, you create a situation in which you can never have enough.
Joy and fulfillment can come only when you do have enough. Having enough depends not on the size of your bank account or the number of people at your party. Having enough happens whenever you choose to let it happen.
Thinking that you can never get enough is tragically self-fulfilling. Ambition can take you a long way, and yet if ambition is all you have it will eventually get in your way. Aim high, to be sure, and then accept it when you have arrived there. When you make the effort to go after something, also take the time and effort to enjoy it and to let it fill your life.M O O N spells LBM

Think ahead
Each time you start to do something, ask yourself -- what effect will this have two weeks from now, two months from now, a year from now? We often act out of impulse without considering the eventual consequences. What seems right for the moment may be entirely wrong for the future.
You're the one who will be living in your own future. It makes sense to take responsibility for that future, to make it the best it can possibly be. The time you take to think ahead, and to evaluate your decisions with an eye toward the future, can make a big difference in the quality of that future.
Live in the moment and get the most from every experience while also looking toward the future. That will make the experiences to come will be even better. The little things you do right now can have a big positive impact when you make the effort to think ahead.M O O N spells LBM

Understanding
Understanding is the profit to be gained from knowledge. We live in a world that is awash in information, and yet true understanding, by comparison, remains a rare and precious treasure.
It takes effort to refine knowledge into understanding -- the effort of thought. The knowledge you amass is valuable. The understanding you extract from that knowledge can be priceless. With enough understanding you'll know not only what has already happened, but also what will come to be as a result. With understanding, you'll clearly see opportunities others cannot even glimpse. There is awesome power and effectiveness in understanding.
Seek not only to know. Seek to understand. Make the effort to understand. Have the courage and the discipline to think for yourself, and you'll transform mere knowledge into true understanding.M O O N spells LBM

Direction and movement
Any desired destination can be reached by maintaining the appropriate direction and movement. When you drive your car, you control direction with the steering wheel. Movement is supplied by the fuel and the engine.
When pursuing a goal in your life, direction is controlled by your expectations and movement is supplied by your actions. As long as your expectations are focused in the appropriate direction, and to the degree that your actions support those expectations, you'll achieve what you set out to achieve.
The great thing is that you can choose your expectations, and you can control your actions. Those who do so thoughtfully and persistently end up going precisely where they desire to go.
Every moment of every life has direction and movement. What is yours like? Is it random, drifting, or even reckless? Or is it bringing you steadily toward where you wish to be? You're at the wheel. You control the accelerator. You might as well drive yourself somewhere great.M O O N spells LBM

Give courage to your dreams
Although taking a risk does not guarantee success, avoiding risk does guarantee failure. Risk is not the enemy of achievement. It is a companion of achievement. Only when there's a chance of something going wrong can anything get done right. Progress is built on risks which have been foreseen, accepted and effectively managed.
To get from here to there necessarily involves some degree of risk. Be cautioned. Be careful. Be smart. Be prepared. But don't be stopped.
Prepare yourself to achieve by preparing for the risks that will surely come in the course of that achievement. Value is built as you move through those risks, for they are what separate real accomplishments from mere wishes.
Put yourself on the line. Have the confidence to succeed. Give courage to your dreams and they will blossom by your efforts into reality.M O O N spells LBM

Get lucky
Luck is not a cause. It is an effect. Luck does not make things happen. It merely describes how things have already happened. Which is to say, we make our own luck. Luck is not a mysterious, arbitrary force. It happens for very real reasons.
There are things in this life over which you have control, and there are things over which you have little or no control. Both contribute to your luck. You can sway the balance decidedly in your favor by making sure those things under your control are moving you forward. Though circumstances beyond your control will not always be favorable, you can make sure that the circumstances you do control will indeed always work in your favor.
Through a positive focus, discipline, preparation, effort, and persistence anyone can get lucky. Good luck will be yours when you work your way toward it.M O O N spells LBM

Attention
Attention is not something that just happens. You have to make it happen. Attention is work. It is vital work which is necessary if you're to achieve anything of value.
Attention requires intentional and directed effort. When you just pretend to pay attention, or when you fail to give your energy to maintaining your attention, you cheat yourself out of the powerful benefits which attention can bring. Your attention connects you to the world around you. Make that connection as strong as you possibly can.
The quality and nature of your attention -- where that attention is directed, the length of time it is sustained, the degree to which it is focused -- can make an enormous difference in how effectively you reach your goals. Your attention is one of the most valuable things you have. Give it power, strength and focus, and with it you can bring forth great things.M O O N spells LBM

Best response
Don’t resent the obstacle for being in your way. Figure out how to get over it, under it, around it or through it.
It’s not the end of the world when things fail to go your way. It’s the beginning of your quest to turn things around by making a positive difference.
If someone disagrees with you or criticizes you, there’s no need to take offense. Instead, take the opportunity to learn something valuable about that person’s perspective.
When you make an attempt and it doesn’t work, that’s no reason to quit. You’ve just gained priceless experience, so put it to good, effective use.
When life is negative, your best response is to be positive. In fact, you’ll find the best opportunities in the worst situations, so choose to make the most of those opportunities.
A key ingredient of success is seeing that it can happen. And it can happen whenever you choose.

Time to be your best
When things seem to be at their worst is the ideal time for you to be at your best. When the outlook is decidedly negative that's the time you need to be aggressively positive.
When the situation is difficult and getting worse, there's no need to deny reality or hide from the truth. Neither is there any need, however, to get pulled down with the negativity.
The greatest opportunities come from the most difficult problems. In times of great challenge, moving positively forward -- even if by just a little bit -- can dramatically alter the momentum for the better. And then that momentum can grow quickly.
Keep going. Keep moving steadily forward, especially when circumstances seem to be working against you. Remember -- that's when you can make the most meaningful positive difference.M O O N spells LBM

Where your mind lives
When all is quiet, when the necessities of the day have been tended to, when your mind is free of any constraints, what do you think about? Do you dwell on anger, limitation, worry, or envy? Or do you fill your mind with thoughts of love, possibility, confidence, abundance and generosity?
Wherever your mind lives, that is where your life is headed. The thoughts you think most frequently, willingly and intensely have the power to shape and define the reality of your life. So what thoughts are shaping you right now?
Your thoughts are independent of every constraint imposed upon you. Even in the most unfortunate, desperate situations is it possible to fill your mind with the loftiest thoughts. Indeed, it takes effort and intention to direct your thoughts. Yet it is an ability which no outside power or limitation can deny to you.
Thinking alone won't get you anywhere. Yet what you think will surely determine who you will be.M O O N spells LBM

Awesome post man, solid daily motivation! Subbed for sure!
You should make a smart phone app "Daily Motivator" and everyday (if you have the app on your phone) you get a daily motivation notification (which the user can set to alert them at whatever time, for example 7:00am every day), the alert goes off then they click on the notification and they get a Daily Motivation quote to read to start there day. The user can set it to alert them every day with a new Daily Motivational Quote.
In the app just Pre load over 365 daily motivators quotes from this thread and there you have good iPhone App. Sell it for $1.29 in the App store and who knows how much you could sell.. You could easily get more than 1million purchases. ($1.29 x 1,000,000 = Profit). The App store is a huge market! Angry Birds sold more than 1 million copies in the first day alone, I have mates who have apps (just basic painting apps) that sell hundreds every single day, sometimes even reaches 1000 sales per day.
Just an idea bro, it could go very well, I would surely buy and I know a lot of others who would also do the same.

Leadership
The greatest leaders are those who lead not only with their words and ideas. The greatest leaders are those who lead primarily by their example. The most effective form of leadership is born out of the sincere desire and proven ability to make a positive contribution.
Those who lead best are those for whom leadership itself is not the primary aim. Those who lead best are those who can inspire others to embrace the positive values and priorities by which they themselves live.
True leadership comes not from position but from participation and effectiveness. Those who are willing and able to get things done are best suited to lead. To be a leader, be a shining example. Do that which you would lead others to do, and do it spectacularly. Leadership at its best enlarges and duplicates the efforts of the leader. Make those efforts the best they can be, and they'll result in true, effective leadership.M O O N spells LBM

Humility
When you think you know it all, there's not much that you'll learn. If you become too impressed with your own importance, you've already begun to lose your advantage.
Humility is a sign of true courage and confidence. Those who are unsure of themselves are the ones who must prop up their egos with loud and arrogant boasts. What a waste of effort! Those who are confident enough to act with humility are the ones who get things done.
When you can admit that you don't know it all, you set yourself up to learn valuable things. When you act with respect and deference toward others, you win their sincere, enthusiastic respect in return. Humility is not backing down. It is moving forward past your own petty ego.
Acknowledging your limitations is a crucial step toward transcending them. Live with humility and you'll truly live beyond yourself.M O O N spells LBM

On your side
Put time on your side by making use of every moment. Put truth on your side by being truthful. Put respect on your side by genuinely offering it to others. Put honor on your side by living honorably.
Put momentum on your side by acting with persistence. Put opinion on your side by being thoughtful. Put wisdom on your side by learning from each experience. Put hope on your side by finding the positive in every situation.
Your strongest advantages are the ones which come from the way you live your life. Your most effective efforts are the ones which come from your heart. What you truly value will bring true value to you.M O O N spells LBM

Get it behind you
Do the difficult things first. Do the uncomfortable, tedious things first. Get them out of the way. Get them behind you. Then you won't have them hanging over your head. Then you're free to really enjoy the fun things.
Is there something you've been dreading, something you know you must do but you just cannot bring yourself to do it? Get up right now and get started on it. Don't wait another moment. It's unpleasant enough that you have to do it. There's no need in prolonging that unpleasantness by putting it off.
Get it done. Get it out of the way. The worst part of it is the anticipation, and you can put an end to that right now. Just go ahead and soon you'll enjoy the freedom of having it behind you. Take a great big positive step forward. Get on past whatever you've been putting off. Lighten your load and you'll move ahead faster than ever.M O O N spells LBM

What is needed
When you can do what is needed you can accomplish anything. And you are completely capable of doing what is needed. If you don't know how, you can learn. If there's some particular resource that's essential, you can locate it. If there is a certain necessary skill, you can develop it. If the support of others is required, you can build it. If you're not sure exactly what is needed, you have the ability to reason it through and find it out.
Every great achievement has come about as a result of doing what is needed. Each and every dream you desire for yourself and your world can be reached by doing what is needed. What do you plan to accomplish today, or within the next month, the next year, the next twenty? Whatever your goal may be, you'll get there by doing what is needed.
It's a simple concept, and an overwhelmingly powerful one, available to anybody. Stop waiting for life to hand you an easy treasure. Do what is needed today and achieve whatever you desire.M O O N spells LBM
