Practice only makes for improvement.
You have to know what is right for you and go after it regardless of what others say.
It's not over until you win
See yourself confronting your fears in your mind's eye and handling those fears like a champ.
Forgive yourself first. Release the need to replay a negative situation over and over again in your mind. Don’t become a hostage to your past by always reviewing and reliving your mistakes. Don’t remind yourself of what should have, could have or would have been. Release it and let it go. Move on.
Make your move BEFORE you are ready!
We have to live life with a sense of urgency so not a minute is wasted.
In the prosperous times, you put it in your pocket; in the lean times, you put it in your heart and that's when you discover who you are.
If you want to keep getting what you're getting, keep doing what you're doing.
In life, friendships change, divorces happen, people move on, others die. Money and jobs will come and go. Live long enough and your health and body will change. It goes with the territory of being human. The fact that you are still here gives you an advantage. Don't look back. Look straight ahead!! Decide to use all of your knowledge, skills, experiences and your life lessons from your mistakes, defeats and setbacks, to start over again. Life changes. You may not have the same life as before, but you can still enjoy your life!
Whatever you accomplish in life is a manifestation not as much of what you do, as of what you believe you deserve.
No matter how bad it is, or how bad it gets; I'm going to make it.
If you only talk to a person's head and not their heart people won't listen to you.
Define your priorities, know your values and believe in your purpose. Only then can you effectively share yourself with others.
