The older we get,
the more we realize
that the choice to be
happy
or unhappy is our own.
Sure, there will be times
where things don’t go our way.
We’ll feel unhappiness,
sorrow, even depression.
But, our agency determines
how we cope with these challenges.
This doesn’t mean that
we should feel guilty about
being sad or depressed.
Everyone experiences “down” days.
Melancholy moments
can bring great wisdom
if we think them through.
But, the truth is that
you always have a choice.
You can choose to stay stuck
in unhappiness and resentment,
or, choose to let go and
feel fulfillment lighten your load.
If you’re unhappy,
unsatisfied or merely ambiguous,
make today the day
you put it all behind you.
Choose to feel the joy in your life again.
You always have a choice.
Why not make it great?

To succeed...
you need to find something
to hold on to,
something to motivate you,
something to inspire you.
–Tony Dorsett
"So
what do we do?
Anything - something.
So long as we
don't
just sit there.
If
we screw it up,
start
over.
Try
something else.
If we wait until we've satisfied
all the uncertainties,
it
may be too late."
~~Lee
Iacocca
Former Chairman of
Chrysler Corporation
Feelings of worth
can flourish only in an atmosphere
where individual differences
are appreciated,
mistakes are tolerated,
communication is open,
and rules are flexible –
the kind of atmosphere
that is found in a
nurturing family.
- Virginia Sati
"Often we
allow ourselves
to be upset by small things
we should despise and forget.
We lose many irreplaceable hours
brooding over grievances that,
in a year's
time,
will be forgotten
by us
and by everybody.
No,
let us devote
our life
to worthwhile
actions
and feelings,
to great
thoughts,
real affections
and enduring
undertakings."
~~Andre Maurois
1885-1967, Writer
No
matter what you
might
be going thru,
the
ending will be greater
than it's beginning.
As
long as you still breath ,
you
have a purpose,
to
fulfill and usually
the
one who gets in the, way
of
that fulfillment
is your own self.
So
let go of your fears
Get
up ,
and
get out
of
your own way.

Achievement within
Meaningful success
is a matter of expressing on the
outside
some of the unique and abundant value
that’s on the inside.
Every great achievement
begins as a vision,
guided by purpose,
and ends as a real, tangible fact.
Whatever you truly desire,
you already have within you.
Fulfilling that desire is a process
of bringing it to life in the world
around you.
In each true desire is the energy
for its fulfillment.
Your job is to put that energy
to focused and effective use.
Take the vision, the ideal,
the value that’s inside
and show the rest of the world
how it looks and what it can do.
Nurture the inner vision
that only you can see into outer
value
that everyone can find useful and
beautiful.
Dive deeply into the rich abundance
that lives within you.
Feel the power of your unique beauty
that longs to be expressed,
and let that beauty flow out
through your actions.
Your greatest achievements
are already yours.
Act on them and let the whole world
experience their value too.
