In whatever goal you're trying to achieve - if you're giving it 110% efforf there won't be any time to worry about failure!
And one of my favourite quotes: Failure doesn't mean you are a failure... it just means you haven't succeeded yet. ~Robert Schuller

In my thirty years as a freelance cartoonist I've had my fair share of overcoming obstacles, setbacks and disappointments and I'm sure there will be lots more before I hang up my pencils. The trick is to take it in your stride and bounce back when you've been knocked for six - for when you say you've had enough and you quit you're finished. Leaving the way open for someone else to take your place and maybe the prize!

Today we look at one of my biggest phobias - Fear Of Heights. I miss out on bungee jumps, going up skyscrapers and going on scenic mountain walks. I suffer from breathlessness, excessive sweating, nausea, dry mouth, shaking, heart palpitations, inability to think clearly, a fear of dying, becoming mad or losing control, a sensation of detachment from reality or a full blown anxiety attack...and that was just while I was drawing the cartoon!

As I'm sure you're aware you need to keep Health and Safety
at the forefront of everyone's mind 24-7 whether it's in the home or at work.
Health and Safety cartoons can illustrate serious messages
in a light hearted way.
Most organisations primarily use the cartoons as posters,
usually on a regular basis. In this way, employees are informed
of ongoing safety issues. Consider safety cartoons via emails,
training materials, Powerpoint presentations and calendars(They're
in front of them everyday of the year!)

Remember, save one accident and any cartoon you commission
will have paid for itself a hundred fold.

Today's subject is the College/School of hard knocks. To be a success at anything you have to take some hard knocks. If you're not taking the knocks chances are you're a failure who's backed off or quit. Here's some of my favourite quotes and a Sid Gatt cartoon strip...

I, on the other hand, am a fully-rounded human being, with a degree from the University of Life, a diploma from the School of Hard Knocks, and three gold stars from the Kindergarten of Getting the Sh*t Kicked Out of Me
~ Rowan Atkinson

The school of hard knocks is an accelerated curriculum
~ Menander of Athens

If you can learn from hard knocks, you can also learn from soft touches.
~ Carolyn Kenmore

Credit is due to Thomas A Edison for the above quote. Here's some of my other favourite quotes for the great man...
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
Be courageous. I have seen many depressions in business. Always America has emerged from these stronger and more prosperous. Be brave as your fathers before you. Have faith! Go forward!
Hell, there are no rules here - we're trying to accomplish something.
I never did anything by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident; they came by work.

Here’s a few self limiting belief quotes that might change your perspective…
What you believe is what you achieve. You become what you affirm: positively affirm your greatness, genius and fullest potential - Mark Victor Hansen

The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it, and become blind to the arguments against it. - George Bernard Shaw

A man can be as great as he wants to be. If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination, the dedication, the competitive drive and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done. – Vince Lombardi

SO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND YOUR ABILITIES!

I had to send back my invite to William's and Kate's wedding because of the pressure of work.
I'm afraid WORK comes first with me!

Belief in success is the one basic, absolutely essential ingredient in successful people.”
Believing something can be done sets the mind in motion to find a way to do it.

“Believe it can be done. When you believe something can be done, really believe, your mind will find the ways to do it. Believing a solution paves the way to solution.
all quotes by David J Schwart

You have to ask yourself - how badly do I want success? Would I be prepared to climb that high?(If I was scared of heights?) I know how badly I want success - I think of nothing but it all day long!

With the holiday season coming up this week we're looking at 'keeping fit' and toning one's body and mind...
"To feel 'fit as a fiddle', you must tone down your middle."
Author Unknown

"A man's health can be judged by which he takes two at a time -
pills or stairs." Joan Welsh

"Exercise alone provides psychological and physical benefits.
However, if you also adopt a strategy that engages your mind while you exercise, you can get a whole host of psychological benefits fairly quickly." James Rippe, M.D.

Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while
movement and methodical physical exercise save it and preserve it. - Plato



To be successful, you must dedicate yourself 100% to your training,
diet and mental approach. - Arnold Schwarzenegger

The higher your energy level, the more efficient your body. The more
efficient your body, the better you feel and the more you will use your
talent to produce outstanding results. - Anthony Robbins

You have to stay in shape. My grandmother, she started walking five
miles a day when she was 60. She's 97 today and we don't know where
the hell she is. - Ellen Degeneres

I'm off to the gym - 'til next week...

This week we look at 'OBSTACLES' that get in the way of your success. Here's a few of my favourite quotes:

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal. Henry Ford

A burning desire can overcome all objections and obstacles.

Press on. Obstacles are seldom the same size tomorrow as they are today. Robert H. Schuller

The obstacles you face are... mental barriers which can be broken by adopting a more positive approach. Clarence Blasier

An excuse becomes an obstacle in your journey to success when it is made in place of your best effort or when it is used as the object of the blame.
Bo Bennett

A lot of people give up just before they're about to make it. You know you never know when that next obstacle is going to be the last one.
Chuck Norris

Fear is your greatest obstacle - so question your fear. If it does not serve your greatest life then do not make it your master.
Joy Page

I don't really think in terms of obstacles. My biggest obstacle is always myself.
Steve Earle

Nothing is an obstacle unless you say it is.
Wally Amos

Today I'm concentrating on one of sports all time champions...Muhammad Ali!
Here's the top ten quotes of 'The Greatest' :

10. Age is whatever you think it is. You are as old as you think you are.

9. At home I am a nice guy: but I don't want the world to know. Humble people, I've found, don't get very far.

8. He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.

7. I never thought of losing, but now that it' s happened, the only thing is to do it right. That's my obligation to all the people who believe in me. We all have to take defeats in life.

6. I'm so fast that last night I turned off the light switch in my hotel room and was in bed before the room was dark.

5. What keeps me going is goals.

4. It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.

3. I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was.

2. I hated every minute of training, but I said, "Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion."

And the most thought provoking one...

1. I figured that if I said it enough, I would convince the world that I really was the greatest.

Sorry, I totally missed last week's issue. I could blame it on the pressure of work, I could blame it on having a new bouncy labrador dog that kept me busy all week - but I think I'd better own up and say it was procrastination! I know I should know better but I let it get the top side of me. So what better subject to work on this week than 'procrastination'. Here's a cartoon and some of my favourite quotes...



"Do you know what happens when you give a procrastinator a good idea? Nothing!" Donald Gardner

So what do we do? Anything. Something. So long as we just don't sit there. If we screw it up, start over. Try something else. If we wait until we've satisfied all the uncertainties, it may be too late. Lee Iacocca

"If and When were planted, and Nothing grew." Proverb
“Procrastination is the fear of success. People procrastinate because they are afraid of the success that they know will result if they move ahead now. Because success is heavy, carries a responsibility with it, it is much easier to procrastinate and live on the “someday I’ll” philosophy.” Denis Waitley

'Your INPUT will determine your OUTPUT, so guard what you PUT IN and you won't be PUT OUT!'
Take particular care as to what you allow to enter both your ear and eye gates. For what you allow to pass through here will determine what comes forth from your mouth and will be demonstrated through your actions. It will determine what fills your mind and will ultimately influence your destiny. Imagine having a sentry on guard twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week. Choose to avoid certain places, switch channels on the television and refuse to be bombarded by unwanted visual or verbal stimuli that is not healthy for your ongoing personal development. Say 'no' to the mediocre and only 'yes' to the excellent..

Our minds are an extremely powerful tool, and as you may have heard before, we only use a small portion of it every day.(Sid Gatt uses even less than that!)
Positive thinking has a great impact on your life. So we must do our best to keep thinking that way. If you find yourself having a negative thought - STOP yourself immediately - and change it to a positive one. Another way, is to surround yourself with positive people and stay well clear of negative ones.(Sid Gatt springs to mind again!) Associate with people who make you smile/laugh and bring positive energy into your life. See you next week!

Here's your 'Midweek Motivator for December 17th 2010
This is an extract from a book "Smile Your Way To Success' that I collaborated with Peter Sinclair on...

'HAPPY PEOPLE use what they have and start where they are in the pursuit of their DREAM.'

For years I lived my life waiting for the 'one day' to kick in. After nearly ten years, when that 'one day' still hadn't arrived, I decided that it was probably time to really start to enjoy life. My children were growing older and my years weren't being reversed. So rather than waiting for that illusive day, I decided to start to live my life to the full. I made a decision to enjoy every moment, while still focussing on my dream. In an instant, happiness replaced anger. Fulfillment replaced frustration and life became a pleasant experience. I analysed my strengths, discarded my weaknesses and then strengthened my strengths through practice. And as the song says, 'Don't worry, be happy!'

The UK is suffering the worst snowy period I've ever experienced in all my 39 years.(Ok, ok...in all my 56 years!) The severe weather conditions are costing the economy billions as the country's workforce has been unable to make it into their day jobs. I've put together some 'snowy/Christmassy' cartoons that might add some Christmas cheer to your site. I've partnered with http://www.instacommerce.net/seasonal-website-banners who can add cartoon banners etc to your website. They specialise in developing websites for small to medium enterprises using CMS or eCommerce solutions. Even the usually hard to please and miserable Sid Gatt would be happy with their services.
