Ok!! Before you read today's Daily Word, I need you to look through your Ipod, CD's
or Vinyls and get the Tower of Power's song titled "You Ought to Be Havin' Fun".
(For all my folks that don't own this song or don't even know what I'm talkin bout
look it up on Youtube). This will put you in the right mood and give you a better understanding about what Today's
Word is all about.... Today is dedicated to having fun. For some reason when people
talk about being focussed or talk about having success they have this notion that
they have to be serious all the time. NO!!! You Ought to Be Havin' Fun!!! If you
are not having fun in what you are doing, you are wasting your time and you shouldn't
be doing it. Being serious all the time, gets you old fast.... So stop shaving years
off your life and go out there and have some fun..... You Ought to be, You Ought
to be.......
-Ash'Cash
"If a man insisted always on being serious, and never allowed himself a bit of fun
and relaxation, he would go mad or become unstable without knowing it."
-Herodotus
"If it's not fun, you're not doing it right"
-Bob Basso quotes
"When you have confidence, you can have a lot of fun. And when you have fun, you
can do amazing things."
-Unknown
"The man who does not work for the love of work but only for money is not likely
to make money nor find much fun in life."
-Charles M. Schwab
"People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing."
-Dale Carnegie
"If you're not having fun - I don't care what you're doing - don't do it. Move on.
Find something else, life's too short."
-Jerry Doyle
"If you don't do it excellently, don't do it at all. Because if it's not excellent,
it won't be profitable or fun, and if you're not in business for fun or profit,
what the hell are you doing there?"
-Robert Townsend
JULY 21ST
Keep On Keeping On!!!
Morning everyone! Today as we begin the week, we want to dedicate today's Daily Word to moving in the right direction. Take a second to think about where you where in your life this time last year. Has there been progress in what you are doing? Are you moving in the right direction? If the answer is yes, Keep Moving!!! But if the answer is no, don't get discouraged, that simply means you need to refocus your energy and get back in the game. In the words of the late, great Curtis Mayfield... KEEP ON KEEPING ON!!!
-Ash'Cash
"The great thing in the world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving."
-Oliver Wendell Holmes
"Even if you fall on your face, you're still moving forward."
-Robert C. Gallagher
"He who moves not forward, goes backward"
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"It is better to take many small steps in the right direction than to make a great leap forward only to stumble backward."
-Old Chinese Proverb
"The world is moving so fast now-a-days that the man who says it can't be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it."
-Elbert Hubbard
"We can reach our potential, but to do so, we must reach within ourselves. We must summon the strength, the will, and the faith to move forward - to be bold - to invest in our future."
-John Hoeven
"Goals are a means to an end, not the ultimate purpose of our lives. They are simply a tool to concentrate our focus and move us in a direction. The only reason we really pursue goals is to cause ourselves to expand and grow. Achieving goals by themselves will never make us happy in the long term; it's who you become, as you overcome the obstacles necessary to achieve your goals, that can give you the deepest and most long-lasting sense of fulfillment."
-Anthony Robbins
JULY 18TH
Don't Be!!!
Another day, another dollar!! What up ya'll and welcome to the last day of the work week. Today is officially "Don't Be" Day... And what's that you ask!!! Today is the day that you turn any negative feeling around, no matter what it is.... For example if you were looking forward to something happening but for whatever reasons it didn't go your way and you're feeling sad about it...."Don't Be", If someone pisses you off to the point that they have shifted your whole mood and you're feeling upset and aggravated, "Don't Be" If you stepped outside of the box to try something new and it didn't quite workout and now you feel regretful, "Don't Be" and if you are on your way to work and are thinking about being late..... LoL!!! You get the point..... Today's Daily Word is dedicated to some additional things that we want you to "Don't Be".....Have a good weekend, I'll holla!!
-Ash'Cash
"Don't be too sweet lest you be eaten up; don't be too bitter lest you be spewed out"
-Yiddish Proverb quotes
"Don't be afraid your life will end; be afraid that it will never begin."
-Grace Hansen
"Don't be a spectator, don't let life pass you by."
-Lou Holtz
"Don't be afraid of failure; be afraid of petty success."
-Maude Adams
"Don't be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience. Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and every fresh experience points out some"
-John Keats
"Enjoy the successes that you have, and don't be too hard on yourself when you don't do well. Too many times we beat up on ourselves. Just relax and enjoy it."
-Patty Sheehan
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
-Steve Jobs
JULY 17TH
The Biggest Battle!!!
There's a war goin on outside, no man is safe from, You could run but you can't hide forever....Whats good Ya'll Today's Daily Word is dedicated to the Biggest Battle you will ever face,. The Battle of being yourself, The Battle of going after what you want, The Battle of fighting through your haters, and most importantly The Battle of living life to the fullest!! As you get ready for your day today, take a look in the mirror and ask yourself whether you are ready for this Battle....You walkin witcha head down scared to look ,You shook, cause ain't no such things as halfway crooks (Fat shout to P.)
-Ash'Cash
"It is impossible to win the race unless you venture to run, impossible to win the victory unless you dare to battle."
-Richard M. DeVos
"Take the first step, and your mind will mobilize all its forces to your aid. But the first essential is that you begin. Once the battle is startled, all that is within and without you will come to your assistance."
-Robert Collier
"The hardest battle you're ever going to fight is the battle to be just you."
-Leo F. Buscaglia
"To be nobody but yourself in a world that's doing its best to make you somebody else, is to fight the hardest battle you are ever going to fight. Never stop fighting."
-E. E. Cummings
"To bring one's self to a frame of mind and to the proper energy to accomplish things that require plain hard work continuously is the one big battle that everyone has. When this battle is won for all time, then everything is easy."
-Thomas A. Buckner
"The battle of life is, in most cases, fought uphill; and to win it without a struggle were perhaps to win it without honor. If there were no difficulties there would be no success; if there were nothing to struggle for, there would be nothing to be achieved."
-Samuel Smiles
"You're in the midst of a war: a battle between the limits of a crowd seeking the surrender of your dreams, and the power of your true vision to create and contribute. It is a fight between those who will tell you what you cannot do, and that part of you that knows / and has always known / that we are more than our environment; and that a dream, backed by an unrelenting will to attain it, is truly a reality with an imminent arrival."
-Anthony Robbins
JULY 16TH
Just my Luck!!!
What's good Scraparinos!!! Today we are going to dedicate our Daily Word to Luck... Luck is one of those things that don't really exist but people use it to blame their misfortunes on or to discredit other peoples success. Stop referring to yourself as being lucky or anyone else for that matter, everything happens for a reason and the more you prepare yourself, the more you will be in line for what you deserve and what you worked for... So keep going hard, Today may be your Lucky Day!!! :)
-Ash'Cash
"Success is simply a matter of luck. Ask any failure."
Earl Wilson
"We must believe in luck. For how else can we explain the success of those we don't like?"
Jean Cocteau
"Good luck is a lazy man's estimate of a worker's success."
-Unknown
Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit. ~
-R.E. Shay
"I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it."
-Thomas Jefferson
"Luck is what you have left over after you give 100 percent."
-Langston Coleman
"Someone receives a promotion, gets an important assignment, makes a major discovery, or moves into the president's office. ''He's lucky',' an envious person remarks. ''He gets the breaks; they're always in his favor'.' In reality, luck or the breaks of life had little or nothing to do with it. So-called ''luck'' usually is found at the exact point where preparation meets opportunity. For a time, an individual may get ahead by ''pull',' but eventually someone with push will displace him. Success is not due to a fortuitous concourse of stars at our birth, but to a steady trail of sparks from the grindstone of hard work each day."
Kenneth Hildebrand quotes
"No-one gets an iron-clad guarantee of success. Certainly, factors like opportunity, luck and timing are important. But the backbone of success is usually found in old-fashioned, basic concepts like hard work, determination, good planning and perseverance."
-Mia Hamm
JULY 15TH
Show off your Uniqueness!!
I know I spoke about how special you were yesterday and this may sound a little
redundant but I really want to drive the point home. Today's Daily Word is dedicated
again to your Uniqueness (I'm saying the same thing like a synonym). It's not enough
to know that you are special or that you are unique, you need to show it off...
You need to stop letting people put you in a box, the box that says you must be
a certain way or act in a certain matter!!! That's not what's good... You aint here
to be like everyone else, we have enough of them... So go ahead, Show off that Uniqueness!!!
Let your Soul Glow!!
-Ash'Cash
"The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you
unique."
-Walt Disney
"Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life; everyone must carry
out a concrete assignment that demands fulfillment. Therein he cannot be replaced,
nor can his life be repeated, thus, everyone's task is unique as his specific opportunity."
-Viktor Frankl
"Our inner strengths, experiences, and truths cannot be lost, destroyed, or taken
away. Every person has an inborn worth and can contribute to the human community.
We all can treat one another with dignity and respect, provide opportunities to
grow toward our fullest lives and help one another discover and develop our unique
gifts. We each deserve this and we all can extend it to others."
-Unknown
"If you want to be truly successful invest in yourself to get the knowledge you
need to find your unique factor. When you find it and focus on it and persevere
your success will blossom."
-Sidney Madwed
"Don't let anyone tell you that you have to be a certain way. Be unique. Be what
you feel."
-Melissa Etheridge
"Each one of you has something no one else has, or has ever had: your fingerprints,
your brain, your heart. Be an individual. Be unique. Stand out. Make noise. Make
someone notice. That's the power of individuals."
-Jon Bon Jovi
JULY 14TH
You Are Special!!!
Bienvenidos my good people,Today is Monday July 14, 2008. Before we start I want to send a special shout out to my wife who is celebrating her birthday today! In dedication to her Today's Daily Word is dedicated to the special things in life. Each and every one of us has a special gift that is unique to us and only us. We need to look deep inside and figure out what that gift is and use it to the best of our abilities. You were not put on this earth to be ordinary, make the impossible happen!!!
-Ash'Cash
"Life becomes precious and more special to us when we look for the little everyday miracles and get excited about the privileges of simply being human"
-Tim Hansel
"Never neglect the little things. Never skimp on that extra effort, that additional few minutes, that soft word of praise or thanks, that delivery of the very best that you can do. It does not matter what others think, it is of prime importance, however, what you think about you. You can never do your best, which should always be your trademark, if you are cutting corners and shirking responsibilities. You are special. Act it. Never neglect the little things."
-Og Mandino
"Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday. Be a self-starter. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don't waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail."
-Og Mandino
"No matter what age you are, or what your circumstances might be, you are special, and you still have something unique to offer. Your life, because of who you are, has meaning."
-Barbara De Angelis
"There has never been another you. With no effort on your part you were born to be something very special and set apart. What you are going to do in appreciation of that gift is a decision only you can make."
-Dan Zadra

Keep Your Eyes on the Prize!
Aiight people, this is it!! We made it through another week and we are all in one piece. As we get ready for the weekend I want to dedicate today's Daily Word to keeping our eyes on the prize... Remind yourself daily what your goals are and what you are here for. This is a sure fire way for us to stay focussed and never let temporary struggles distract us from reaching our final destination. As always it's been a pleasure and thank you for taking this ride with me, and inviting me into your home, your work, your blackberries, sidekicks, and most importantly your souls.... Have a good weekend and in the word of Mr. Russell Simmons... "Thank you for coming out, God Bless, Good Night!" (Well in this case Good Morning :))
-Ash'Cash
"Keep your eyes on the prize and don't turn back."
-Bill Clinton
"The biggest reward for a thing well done is to have done it"
-Voltaire
"This I do know beyond any reasonable doubt. Regardless of what you are doing, if you pump long enough, hard enough and enthusiastically enough, sooner or later the effort will bring forth the reward."
-Zig Ziglar
"It takes time to succeed because success is merely the natural reward of taking time to do anything well."
-Joseph Ross
"Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it. The man who knows how will always have a job. The man who also knows why will always be his boss.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit."
-Napoleon Hill
"It takes a little courage, and a little self -- control. And some grim determination, If you want to reach the goal. It takes a deal of striving, and a firm and stern-set chin. No matter what the battle, If you really want to win. There's no easy path to glory, There's no road to fame. Life, however we may view it, Is no simple parlor game; But it's prizes call for fighting, For endurance and for grit; For a rugged disposition and don't know when to quit."
-Unknown

-Buddha
"When we think of failure; Failure will be ours. If we remain undecided; Nothing will ever change. All we need to do is want to achieve something great and then simply to do it. Never think of failure For what we think, will come about."
-Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
"Nothing is lost upon a man who is bent upon growth; nothing wasted on one who is always preparing for life. By keeping eyes, mind, and heart open to nature, men, books, experience, and what he gathers, serves him at unexpected moments, in unforeseen"
-Hamilton Wright Mabie
"Live life so completely that when death comes to you like a thief in the night, there will be nothing left for him to steal."

Enjoy Life!!!
Good Morning folks, Fresh off my "Worst Things In Life" Daily Word, I received a
sad and disturbing message from a good friend of mine about something that happened
over the 4th of July weekend. For the sake of not ruining anyones morning I will
spare the details, but all I am going to say is Enjoy LIfe!! It's good to aspire
to do bigger and better things but don't for a second take for granted what you
all ready have. You must aways be thankful for all that is around you and enjoy
the gift that is already in your possession.... One of my loyal Daily Word family
members once wrote me and said "Sometimes we need others to point out to us what
we have, because we so often take it for granted"(Fat shout to Deb Stephens), Well
today folks I'm pointing it out... Life is too Short, please take some time out
to ENJOY IT!!!
-Ash'Cash
"Not what we have But what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance."
-Epicurus
"Plenty of people miss their share of happiness, not because they never found it,
but because they didn't stop to enjoy it."
-William Feather.
"True happiness is... to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the
future."
-Seneca
"Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something
outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is
the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family."
-Earl Nightingale
"Once we discover how to appreciate the timeless values in our daily experiences,
we can enjoy the best things in life."
-Jerome K. Jerome

that to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second."

The Worst Things in Life!!
Good Morning, La Familia de Familias, I hope everyone had a good weekend, fat shout to 4th of July falling on a Friday!!! Today's Daily Word is dedicated to the worst things in life! I know what you're thinking; What a bad way to start the week! but the point of today's Daily Word is to tell you that no matter how bad things seem, it can always be worst. So to all my people out there going through some tough times, remember it's not that bad. Just think of something worst then what you're going through , then thank God you're not going through it.. Lets have a good week, you're no good to us if you're not at your best so get out there and do what you do!!
-Ash'Cash
"That's one of the remarkable things about life - it's never so bad that it can't get worse"
-Unknown
"Expect the best. Prepare for the worst. Capitalize on what comes."
-Zig Ziglar
"First ask yourself: What is the worst that can happen? Then prepare to accept it. Then proceed to improve on the worst."
-Dale Carnegie

-Theodore Roosevelt
"I am responsible. Although I may not be able to prevent the worst from happening, I am responsible for my attitude toward the inevitable misfortunes that darken life. Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have - life itself."
-Walter Anderson
JULY 4TH
Free Your Mind!!
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!! As you may know, the 4th of July is meant to be a celebration
of our countries independence. All through out the country crowds of people are
gathering together barbecuing, watching the fire works and celebrating this joyous
occasion, but a lot of us are really not yet free. Some of us are trapped in the
prisons of our own mind. Creating fear, guilt, worry, resentment, reasons, excuses,
hate, jealousy, envy, despizement (Here I go again making words up). The only way
we can truly be free is to FREE OUR MINDS! Free ourselves from all the negative
thoughts that stop us from doing what we ought to be doing... As you enjoy your
day off, I need you to take some time to FREE YOUR MIND! That is the answer to it
all... I forget the name of the group, but a song was once sung that said "Free
your mind, and the rest will follow!!!".... That's my thoughts exactly!! Have a
safe 4th, and a wonderful weekend... I'll holla next week
-Ash'Cash
"Live free, be yourself or else you die inside."
-David Kilmnick
"Freedom of mind is the real freedom. A person whose mind is not free though he
may not be in chains, is a slave, not a free man. One whose mind is not free, though
he may not be in prison, is a prisoner and not a free man. One whose mind is not
free though alive, is no better than dead. Freedom of mind is the proof of one's
existence."
-Unknown
"The thing you fear most has no power. Your fear of it is what has the power. Facing
the truth really will set you free."
-Oprah Winfrey
"Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind."
-Bob Marley
"Sometimes you've got to let everything go - purge yourself. If you are unhappy
with anything . . . whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you'll
find that when you're free, your true creativity, your true self comes out."
-Tina Turner
"Begin to free yourself at once by doing all that is possible with the means you
have, and as you proceed in this spirit the way will open for you to do more."
-George Clemenceau
"Laugh at yourself and at life. Not in the spirit of derision or whining self-pity,
but as a remedy, a miracle drug, that will ease your pain, cure your depression,
and help you to put in perspective that seemingly terrible defeat and worry with
laughter at your predicaments, thus freeing your mind to think clearly toward the
solution that is certain to come. Never take yourself too seriously."
-Og Mandino

"Always surround yourself with people who are better than you. If you're hanging around bad people, they're going to start bringing you down . . . But, if you surround yourself with good people, they're going to be pulling you up."

Step 4 in our "5 Ways to be Successful" series is to Do It Now!! We spend so much time planning, strategizing, planning, refining our ideas, strategizing some more, then reevaluating that by the time we are ready to go after what we want, we either don't want it anymore or we lost our opportunity. Stop procrastinating you know what you want, you know you got what it takes to get it, so... Get Busy... DO IT NOW!!!

5 Ways to be Successful;
Step 3-Believe You Can Get It!
Step 3 in our five part series titled, 5 Ways to be Successful; is believing that you can get it. Whatever it is that you said you want, the only way you are ever going to be able to achieve that level of success is to become a believer.

5 ways to be Successful;
Step 2- Know What You Want!
The second step in becoming successful is to Know What You Want. For those of us who are already there, this may seem obvious, but you'll be surprised at how many people know that they want to be successful but don't have a clue on how they are going to achieve that success. To that person, success feels like they are running on a treadmill, and rightly so. You must take a step back and realize what it is, that you really want. Once you come to that realization, you are well on your way...

-Alexander Graham Bell
"To dream anything that you want to dream. That's the beauty of the human mind. To do anything that you want to do. That is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself to test your limits. That is the courage to succeed."

5 ways to be Successful; Step 1- Never Complain

I've spoke about success in the pass but this week I want to give you a step by step booklet that you can get, success on track not your wig pushed back... Sorry, I zoned out for a second... Rule nombre Uno is Never Complain. The only way you can be successful is by spending most of your time on the solutions rather than the problem.
