Stretch Quote – Keep Climbing (@IsraelmoreA)
If you really want to eat, keep climbing. The fruits are on the top of the tree. STRETCH your hands and keep STRETCHING them. Success is on the top, keep going.
Israelmore Ayivor
Where are you on the journey to reaching your goals?
Are you half way there? Are you a quarter way there? Are you almost there?
Don’t give up!
Keep climbing. Keep stretching. Keep going after your goal.
Stretch Quote – Time to STRETCH (@DeanKarnazes)
Personally, I don’t STRETCH, I don’t get massages. Maybe massages would be useful, but I just don’t have the time for it.
Dean Karnazes
You spend time on the things that matter the most to you.
Do you know your priorities?
I’m guessing you are here in part, because you want to stretch yourself. I’ve said before “You’re not really living if you aren’t stretching and growing.” If you really want to stretch, you have to make time for it.
Dean Karnazes is an ultra-marathon runner who defies the normal boundaries of human limitations. He ran 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days. You and I are not Dean Karnazes. We need to stretch. We need to take time to grow, to work on our flexibility, and to push the boundaries of our comfort zone.
How will you take time to stretch this week?
Stretch Quote – Up For The Challenge (@Christine_Lahti)
I like to take up something that is challenging. I like to STRETCH myself.
Christine Lahti
Are you up for the challenge? What are you doing to stretch yourself these days?
Stretch Quote – Stretching Enough (Raymond Kelly)
I don’t STRETCH enough. I know I should do it more, and I’d like to do yoga, but I just don’t have time.
Raymond Kelly
Last week, I changed up my morning workout routine. Instead of doing my cardio first (like running and biking, I am now lifting before I jump into the cardio portion of my workout. As a result of this change, my muscles were a little sore for a few days.
Actually, if I had to guess, I’m also sore, because I didn’t stretch enough last week. I knew I should have done it more, but I just didn’t have the “time.”
Seems like a pretty lame excuse. Doesn’t it?
We will make time for what is important to us. If you really want to stretch more, you have to make time.
What is your excuse for failing to stretch more? Why aren’t you making more time to stretch yourself?
Stretch Quote – Stretch The Envelope (@MerleDandridge)
I like to STRETCH myself and push the envelope, so anything that’s new or different or not of my daily routine, I am so for.
Merle Dandridge
This is not me most of the time. It’s a real STRETCH for me to get outside my daily routine. And yet, this is what I need. I need to embrace stretching. I must learn to be uncomfortable. I don’t want to reach the end of my life knowing I left something on the table. In other words, I want to make the most of every opportunity to stretch myself and others.
What is stretching you lately?
Stretch Quote – Delegation (@HarveyMackay)
Delegating doesn’t mean passing off work you don’t enjoy, but letting your employees STRETCH their skills and judgment.
Harvey Mackay
If you’ve been hanging around for a while, you know I’ve written quite a bit about delegation over the past year. I wish I had found this quote earlier to include with these posts.
When I did come across this quote, I was reminded how we have the opportunity to stretch our team members by delegating. We do ourselves and our team members a disservice when we fail to delegate. Take time today to delegate.
How have you been stretched by delegation?
Stretch Quote – Great Heights (George Chapman)
Be free all worthy spirits, and STRETCH yourselves, for greatness and for height.
George Chapman
We too easily nail our feet to the floor and our butts to the couch. We grow content with the ho-hum, everyday existence we have allowed to exist.
Getting off the couch and outside our comfort zones requires some stretching.
What are you waiting for? How would your world be different if you STRETCHED yourself to greater heights TODAY?
Stretch Quote – Thick Skin (Katharine Hepburn)
It would be a terrific innovation if you could get your mind to STRETCH a little further than the next wisecrack.
Katharine Hepburn
Words have the power to build up or destroy. While I wish I always had thick skin when someone wrongs me with their words, it’s not always so easy.
On the other hand, I’m sure I’ve said hurtful things to others, and this makes me sad.
Let’s commit today to speak life into those around us.

Stretch Quote – Parenting (@DrTempleGrandin)
I think sometimes parents and teachers fail to STRETCH kids. My mother had a very good sense of how to STRETCH me just slightly outside my comfort zone.
Temple Grandin
As I think about this week’s STRETCH quote, I’m thankful for my parents. Both my Mom and Dad have STRETCHED me to become a better person. My Stretch nickname may have come from friends when I was going through my growth spurt late in high school, but I think the real stretching happened as a result of my parents encouragement, discipline, and accountability.
Thank you, Mom and Dad!
How did your parents STRETCH you outside your comfort zone? What are you doing to STRETCH your own children?
