comparison

·         NEVER compare your journey with someone else's. Your journey is YOUR journey, NOT a competition.

move on

·         “You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks, or even months over-analyzing a situation; trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could’ve, would’ve happened… or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move the f$%# on.”

·         Tupac Shakur

Silence

Sometimes silence is a really good answer.

Imperfections

"When you own your imperfections and embrace your life, you become a better person. Life is about turning obstacles into pedestals."

Dodinsky 

Be thankful for those people

In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.

Albert Schweitzer

Dig a well

When you dig a well, there’s no sign of water until you reach it, only rocks and dirt to move out of the way. You have removed enough; soon the pure water will flow.

Buddha

Grow old

Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. People grow old by deserting their ideals. Years wrinkle the skin, but giving up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear and despair – these are the long years that bow the head and turn the growing spirit back to dust. You are as young as your faith and as old as your doubts; as young as you self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair.”

James E. Faust

Life becomes easier

Life becomes easier when you learn to accept an apology you never got.

Robert Brault

Judgment

"You can't stop people from passing judgment. But they can't build your prison

— you do."

Dodinsky

Your life is your own

The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours – it is an amazing journey – and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

Bob Moawad

Character

Character isn’t something you were born with and can’t change, like your fingerprints. It’s something you weren’t born with and must take responsibility for forming.

Jim Rohn

Knowing someone

Don’t you ever regret knowing someone in your life, good people will give you happiness, bad people will give you experience, while the worst people will give you a lesson, and the best people will give you memories.

Not intimidated

·         "The experienced mountain climber is not intimidated by a mountain -- he is inspired by it. The persistent winner is not discouraged by a problem -- he is challenged by it. Mountains are created to be conquered; adversities are designed to be defeated; problems are sent to be solved. It is better to master one mountain... than a thousand foothills.”

·         William Arthur Ward

Courage

·         Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.”

·         Ralph Waldo Emerson

Difficulties

Sometimes you face difficulties not because you’re doing something wrong, but because you’re doing something right.

obstacles

The biggest obstacle can most often times be ourselves. If your goals are to be healthier and take care of yourself; to feel better and have more energy; to look better and be more comfortable, then get out of your own way and stop making excuses! You can do anything you set your mind to!

Lack of faith

The important thing is not being afraid to take a chance. Remember, the greatest failure is to not try. Once you find something you love to do, be the best at doing it.

Fear

Fear is a habit; so is self-pity, defeat, anxiety, despair, hopelessness and resignation. You can eliminate all of these negative habits with two simple resolves: I can! and I will!”

Embrace it and use it

You know, it's not more knowledge, it's not more education, it's not more facts that we need. It's a better use of what we already have that we need to have. You have, each and everyone of you, within your potential power right now to do a wonderful job in your chosen field -- if you would only embrace it and use it.
Napoleon Hill (1883-1970)
Author and Lecturer: Author of the bestselling classic Think And Grow Rich

Yesterday

"Never let yesterday use up too much of today."

Will Rogers

Worry

“Sometimes I get so caught up in my own problems that I forget how amazing the world is.”

Wendelin Van Draanen

Problem

If we are demoralized, sad and only complain, we’ll not solve our problems. If we only pray for a solution, we’ll not solve our problems. We need to face them, to deal with them without violence, but with confidence - and never give up. If you adopt a non-violent approach, but are also hesitant within, you’ll not succeed. You have to have confidence and keep up your efforts - in other words, never give up.

Dalai Lama

Don't give up

If your path is a little blurry, keep walking. You’ll focus in when you know what you want. Then the picture of your life will be crystal clear. Just don’t give up. And don’t ever stop walking.

Believe in yourself

Anyone can promise the stars. Only you can reach them. You need to believe in yourself.

Dodinsky

Discover their own happiness

"It is not your duty to make others happy. People must discover the source of their own happiness. But you can touch others with your words and actions. Share your joy in good will with no expectations - and never as an obligation. You cannot assemble happiness for them."

Dodinsky

Journey

Take what comes your way as an opportunity and not a burden. There is always a plan, sometimes it takes a little longer to understand the journey of life, but in the end everything is meant to be.
