Brian Tracy, in his book, Principles of Success, posits: “your mind is your most precious
asset. You must be continually working to increase the quality of your
thinking.”We cannot change our past…we cannot change the
fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The
only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our
attitude…I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react
to it.
And so it is with you . . . we are in charge of
our Attitudes.”
Let every minute of your life count. Live
intentionally, never waste your time, rather spend or invest it on things that
are of worthy purpose. Do not underestimate the unimportance of practically
everything.Living intentionally, according to Ralph Waldo Emerson, is “to laugh
often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and affection of
children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of
false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the
world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed
social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have
lived. This is to have succeeded." On the other hand, Henry Thoreau
posits, “If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams,and endeavours
to live the life which he has imagined, he willmeet with a success unexpected
in common hours. He willput some things behind, will pass an invisible
boundary; new,universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish
themselves around and within him; or old laws will be expanded and interpreted in
his favour in a more liberal sense, and he will live with a license of a higher
order of beings.”
If there was ever a time to dare, to make a
difference, to embark on something worth doing, IT IS NOW.
Not for any grand cause, necessarily. . .but for
something that tugs at your heart, something that's your inspiration,something
that's your dream.You owe it to yourself to make your days here count.
HAVE FUN, DIG DEEP,AND STRETCH.
DREAM BIG.
Know, though, that things worth doing seldom come easy.There
will be good days, and there will be bad days.There will be times when you
want to turn around, pack it up,and call it quits.Those times tell you that you
are pushing yourself that you are not afraid to learn by trying.
PERSIST.
Because with an idea, determination,and the right tools,
you can do great things.Let your instincts, your intellect,and your heart, guide
you.
TRUST.
Believe in the incredible power of the human mind.Of
doing something that makes a difference.
Of working hard.
Of laughing and hoping.
Of lazy afternoons.
Of lasting friends.
Of all the things that will cross your path this year.
The start of something new brings the hope of something
great,anything is Possible.
