It's the time of year when belief takes center stage in many of our worlds. Whether we're talking about belief in Santa Claus or a belief in a higher power or supreme being, December is a huge time of year for those who "believe."

Today I have 8 quotes dealing with belief. Some deal with the kinds of belief I just mentioned, but others deal with a belief in oneself or in someone else. No. matter what kind of belief we are talking about, belief is a powerful force, and it is a key ingredient of any successful endeavor.

My apologies to you all for not getting an episode out to you. I recorded it last Sunday morning, and it was ready to go. However, I wasn't able to upload it to my podcast host's site that morning, and I planned to do it later in the day. Well, as my days are always busy now (even Saturdays and Sundays!), I didn't get to it. Then on Monday morning, I left the house at 5:30 for a meeting in Helena. From then on until Wednesday night, I forgot that I had not uploaded the episode.

My wife and I flew out to Newark, New Jersey to spend time with our son over the Thanksgiving holiday. I thought about the episode at some different times, but whenever I did, I was not near my computer, so I never uploaded it. It is now Sunday morning, and I am sitting in the Newark airport ready to fly home (already have had a 3-hour delay, but hoping that it all works out). I was going to upload and release this episode on whatever day I finished all of the technical parts (like writing this!), but now that it's Sunday, it will come out on Monday, exactly one week after it should have been released.

Anyway, great ideas in here from someone I have quoted before and know I will quote again. really good stuff, some of which I have already used with kids, coaches, and parents while communicating with them. While it's not a "famous" quote or anything like that, it is extremely powerful and applicable in your communications.
