Hey Jerome,
Nice words, my best one has to be: “Failure is one step closer to success”. Too many people give up just before the “crack it!”.
Thanks for this post, and have a great weekend buddy.

Hi Jerome,
Awesome list!
Don’t compare yourself to others, you are a unique individual with unique talents to offer.
BTW, I like to smile and laugh more than once in a while : )
Have a wonderful day!

Hey Jerome,
“Fear is not real” – This is a hard one for people to swallow. However, it is so true! I remember early on in my Real Estate days I had a little bit of fear. But I had no choice but to overcome that. Today, I’m like what is fear.
Have a great weekend!

I know Josh, it is a hard one for people to swallow. It would’ve been for me if I didn’t know what I now know.
Thankfully that is not the case any longer.

Hey Jerome,

You will be surprise the power of the

Sometimes they say doing anything over again always helps because you never know what you missed the first time.

I enjoyed reading your list Jerome. I like a few of them but the one jumps out at me today is “There is always an answer.” – love this because it just means there’s no option to give up, ever.
I have one to add and that is “If anybody can I can”
Have an awesome weekend!
~Marcus
.-= Marcus Baker´s last blog ..Business Personal Development – Keep It All In The Family =-.
Nice Marcus. That’s definitely one to add to the list.
“If anybody can I can.”
Have a great weekend,

Jerome,
Thanks for the weekend inspiration. My martial arts teacher has a very profound quote: “Your heart is free, have the courage to follow it!” – powerful stuff.
What really stuck out for me is No. 17. Improve yourself 0.3% each day and in one year you will have improved by 100%. That slight edge makes all the difference.
Have a great weekend,
Wayne
I like how your martial arts teacher thinks Wayne.
Jerome Ratliff
Hey Jerome,
My favorite is “8. Your thoughts can become things.” This is important. Without having the right mindset and thinking the right things – you won’t get too far.
I’ll add – “The only thing standing between you and success is time”

hi Jen,
A lot of people struggle or have struggled with that one. I’ll never forget when I was able to conquer that beast.
Jerome Ratliff
Great post man. I love #8 that is an all time favorite. I guess my favorite quote is “Don’t be afraid to give up the good to get the great.” That has served me well in making decisions.

Hi Jerome,
that is an amazing list. Thanks for sharing. I have something to add with regard to F.E.A.R. – it is not real, that’s true. The best acronym I heard of is “False Evidence Appearing Real” (I attribute it to Robert Kiyosaki).
Take care

Nice positive Post Jerome. Attitude is where its at – and those that can internalize that sort of self talk rarely stay down for long. The real mark of inspiration is those who are generous enough to give encouragement not just crave it

Loved the post, Jerome – so much wisdom in so few words.
My favorite one (and it was not easy to choose:) would have to be “can’t is not a word”. Good advice to remember in internet marketing.

Fear:false eviedence appearing real. This statement helped us through a hard time with illness in our family.
Hi Karen,
I know what you mean. When you really accept that meaning it takes on a whole new meaning. Good for you for looking at it “from the bright side.”

Read all the inspiration lines and I am glad. I really needed some inspiration. As in my life at the moment is upside down and I need to conquer the biggest beast of my life and that is FEAR… Don’t know when it will happen but it will for sure. Fear has always impacted my life but not anymore after reading your 25 phrases of encouragement… Thanks a lot for sharing it…
