Remembering Zig Ziglar - Motivation

Because We All Need a Little Motivation !

Zig Ziglar was a devout Christian, a loving husband and father and a man of profound wisdom and intellect. He traveled the world speaking at motivational events inspiring and impacting hearts and lives wherever he went.

Zig is best known for his memorable and "memorizable" quotes on just about everything.

Below is a sample of some of his most notable sayings, I hope you enjoy.

Memorable Zig Ziglar Quotes

1. “Many marriages would be better if the husband and the wife clearly understood that they are on the same side.”

2. “Expect the best. Prepare for the worst. Capitalize on what comes.”

3. “People don’t buy for logical reasons. They buy for emotional reasons.”

4.“You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.”

5. “Among the things you can give and still keep are your word, a smile, and a grateful heart.”

6.“You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.”

7. “There are no traffic jams on the extra mile.”

8.“Duty makes us do things well, but love makes us do them beautifully.”

9.“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.”

10. “Ability can take you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.”

THE SNARLY BAGGAGE SCREENER

I heard Zig tell the story once of him going through airport security. He noticed that the security personnel that was going to attend to him was not in the best of moods. In his kind and gentle demeanor Zig attempted to spark up some small talk with security personnel by saying : "Good day isn't it?"

The baggage screener responded with a snarl and asked Zig : "Compared to what?"

To which Zig replied in staple fatherly fashion which he was known for with : "Compared to the man that doesn't have a job."

I don't know if the baggage screener gleaned any wisdom from that short exchange, but what I was able to extract was that we ought to always be thankful for all of God's blessings in our lives, such as a job that allows us to be productive members of society and able providers of our own lives and family.

Our Favorite Attitude should be Grattitude. - Zig Ziglar

I need to end this post here but not before sharing just one more quote that speaks to me personally, it fills me with strength and encouragement everytime I read it. Before you read it you need to picture Zig, a saintly man in a business suit putting his hand on your shoulder wanting nothing else than to lift you up and edify you........


“I honestly believe I have felt your feelings. I’ve walked in your shoes. You have made some mistakes, and you may not be where you want to be, but that has nothing to do with your future.”

-Zig Ziglar, November 6, 1926 – November 28, 2012
