I believe that life is a journey, often difficult and sometimes incredibly cruel, but we are well equipped for it if only we tap into our talents and gifts and allow them to blossom.
You don't get in life what you want; you get in life what you are.
If you don't program yourself, life will program you!
Where do we enroll in Life 101? Where are the classes dealing with the loss of a job, the death of a loved one, the failure of a relationship? Unfortunately, those lessons are mostly learned through trial by fire and the school of hard knocks.
Our ability to handle life's challenges is a measure of our strength of character.
Take action in order to move toward your goals.
We have to live life with a sense of urgency so not a minute is wasted.
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.
All of us need to grow continuously in our lives.
Goals help you channel your energy into action.
Shoot for the moon and if you miss you will still be among the stars.
Your goals are the road maps that guide you and show you what is possible for your life.
You need to make a commitment, and once you make it, then life will give you some answers.
