Displine & Time Management

1. All the accomplishments that you celebrate today are the outcomes of disciplines and practices you practiced yesterday. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
2. Between reasons, excuses and results, by end of the day the only thing that counts are results. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
3. Extraordinary people are responsible people who get credit and blame for everything that happened in their lives. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
4. If it's not in my schedule it won't get done. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
5. It is easier to flourish and expand in doing something well than to come up with reasons to explain why you didn't. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
6. The only days that exist in any calendar are Monday through Sunday. Stop scheduling yourself and your dreams for SOME DAY!!! ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
7. You are building your life – daily, hourly, moment-by-moment – through your thoughts. With them you mold your future. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
8. You either produce extraordinary results in life or have a great excuse why you don't. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
9. It amazes me to see how some people can plan their parties with more organization and creativity than they plan their businesses or careers. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
10. Motivation alone is not enough to achieve anything. You need direction and vision. You need your heart and soul to be on target. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
11. Do not begin any day until you have designed it the night before. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
12. There is nothing magical or mysterious about accomplishment. Achievements are the natural outcomes of consistently applying and practicing your basic fundamental disciplines about that which you are passionate. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
13. We need to keep our eyes on our long-range goals to help us from getting distracted by our short-term problems. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
14. We can suffer from the pain of discipline or the pain of failure. The difference is that we can endure the pain of discipline far more than we can failure. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
15. You and I will never be perfect because we already are perfect! Now add excellence to the daily operation in your life, relationships and productivity and see how being perfect will pay off! ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
16. Circumstances ...Yes, we are all dealing with them, especially in this day and time, but they are not who we are! We on our own stand for what is possible and what we are willing to do about the possibilities. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
17. Nothing is sweeter than looking at all the obstacles that you overcame to get to the goal you committed yourself to achieving. But you can't do that until AFTER you achieve that goal … not before! ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
18. The biggest tragedy of anybody's life is mistaking a good life with a life devoted to leisure! Nothing is more fulfilling than working hard to make our dreams real. There is no price for that. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
19. Nothing is more annoying and unpleasant than someone who complains repeatedly and does nothing different about the issues about which they complain! Don't be that person. Take action. Move and change things in your life! Stop complaining. It is annoying. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
20. You probably noticed by now that not all of your expectations in life are coming true. Stop "shoulding" all over yourself! I should be this way or that way … they should not be this way or that way ... life should be in my favor or not in their favor ... It is exhausting to go through this shoulding and even more frustrating to listen to it! ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
21. We all want the glory without the sacrifice, hard work and commitment. We want "it" and we want it now! We want our million dollars this year, our fit body this coming month and our great relationship this weekend … as long as we don't have to work for it! Good luck. Let me know when you get good things without clear intention, great endurance and an awesome attitude! ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
22. I have seen too many people who give up on their dreams because they failed in some phase of the process and because it becomes tough. Don't give up on something that you believe in and have your heart and soul in! Keep working. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
23. I wish life were easy to handle or easy to go through, but it's not, so what are your options? Do you notice you don't get anywhere by crying, kicking and screaming? So just sit back and enjoy the ride and enjoy the challenge. You will get tougher, more resilient and you'll enjoy it more! ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
24. If you want to mark the world by your performance, if you want to make a difference, if you want to do something that will move life, you have to give up the luxury of your feelings and your desires. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
25. We cannot talk enough about persistence and endurance. These are qualities of winners and producers. These are qualities of people who make the biggest differences in the quality of our lives today. How do you rate your own persistence? ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
26. Don't give up on your dreams or plans, don't surrender to your inner chatter of "this will not work" or "this is getting hard." Keep going until the end and get it done! ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
27. Without working hard, following up and meeting deadlines you will never accomplish your goals and your dreams. After you get inspired, get to work and make that inspiration a reality! ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
28. How long will it take you to give up!!? All the greatest things have been made by people who did not give up! These are people who would rather get beat up and exhausted and who do not quit. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
29. Create a firm foundation for your business by inventing a vision, creating an outcome, setting goals and designing an action plan that will fulfill your business vision. You will succeed when you add discipline and hard work to this picture. By the way, that works for the personal part of your life, too! ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
30. Don't give up on your dreams and your desires just because it is hard to achieve them. Keep working on them and do not stop. Keep going, because one day you will turn around and you will see you have arrived! ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
31. We have started our first day of the working week in the this new year, today...I hope you have done all of your thinking and planning and you are ready to get into action! There is nothing that will stop you except your own resignations. Just go for what you know you can do and be committed to getting it done. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
32. Unless we get engaged in some physical activities, some actual actions and doing something, nothing will change. What do we have to lose by doing something different? Nothing but our option to complain. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
33. Most of us don't like details, structures and procedures, but we love and desire the results that come out of performing those details. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
34. You take care of one customer very well and that one good customer will take care of you more than thousands of dollars of advertising. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
35. Just having some ideas and good intentions does not equal completion of anything. Look around and see if you can find half-baked ideas or half-done projects around you... and then get to work and get them done and over with. Then you don't have to carry them with you every day. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
36. Usually it boils down to how intentional and focused we are? Are you someone who just wants something? Or are you someone who knows to get what you want you need to get focused and determined? ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
37. Possibilities are always out there in the conceptual world; they are good, they are empowering and energetic, but if they are not accompanied with a series of actions, practices and disciplines they just become nice talk. The world is full of good conversations with many possibilities, but actions and hard committed work will bring those possibilities to reality. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
38. In my time, I have seen many people in many occasions that have made many promises. The promises were not backed by commitment, but they had good intentions and also felt good about their thoughts! Not many of those promises become actual reality. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
39. We get much closer to produce the results we have planned if we give up luxury of justifications, reasoning and excuses. The world is full of talented people who have a great explanation of why they are not living to their utmost potential. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
40. All great projects in history are made by millions of little, small or tedious details. You can build your dream castle if you are willing to carry dirt with a smile, putting up with one mishap after another without complaint and not giving up because it is too hard or taking too long. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
41. No one other than you can better evaluate your reasons for your dailies, holding off and postponing your actions to get to your desire outcomes... you will get there as soon as you get clear about who you are! ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
42. Stop lying to yourself and find more ways to justifying your laziness.... Get on the track and do what you need to do at the time that needs to get done so you can enjoy the result of your commitments and decelerations. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
43. In my life time I had the privilege of working with many courageous people who didn’t know what to do or how to do it, didn’t know what to say or how to say it, and didn’t know how to be different or maintain the empowering way of being, but they were willing and they were trying... those are the ones who accomplished, succeeded and moved forward. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
44. Nothing worth talking about is made or developed fast or just in days, but in many years of hard work, dedication, inspiration and endurance. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
45. Waiting for the universe, others, god or time to resolve your issues is one of the most irresponsible ways of living. Yes, time resolves things when it is companied with your interest and commitment to resolve your issues. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
46. Many times during working with my clients and or my own career I have witnessed individuals who love what they do, they are passionate about it and you could always count on them to be part of a solution, they were the servants to the vision. Sadly on the other side we had to deal with many who were loud and hollow... just want their benefits and collecting for themselves only. They were the stars... ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
47. Nothing we care about will come to us easily, nothing we have dreamt about will be accomplished without labor and sweet, nothing worth being proud of will be build over night. We have to go through the eye of storm to come out on other side proud, accomplished and self respected. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
48. The biggest mistakes I have seen business owners or managers make is mixing friendship with business. I am not saying don’t be friendly with people in your business, but don’t make your business decisions based on feelings linked to friendship. ~Behnam Bakhshandeh
