If you want your life to be successful, you must look inward. You must change how you think before your life can change. You change your thinking. You change your actions. You change your life.

When a bad thought pops into your head it has no power. Thoughts are weak until you give them attention. Your attention makes them grow stronger. If you keep thinking those bad thoughts, they will consume your life. And when you let go of them, they will leave, fading away just as they came. Focus on the thoughts that make you happy. Focus on the positive and your positivity will grow stronger.

Dream your dreams into reality. Dream big.

Some moments cannot be changed; they must be experienced, lived through, and accepted. We can live always looking to the future, to the better times or we can live now, accept the moment and, maybe, even find the enjoyment. Our moments are to be lived at this time and if we’re always looking beyond our time, we never truly experience our life. Though your times may be hard, I encourage you to find the joy in the moment, to live now.

Life needs to be tasted, smelled, seen, heard, and felt. Life is meant to be experienced, not to be lived in the same way, day after day. In nature, nothing repeats, everything is changing, always. Don’t battle with your nature: allow change, accept change, enjoy the change. Life is always morphing into something new and when you learn to live with that notion, you can learn to love the change.

Win or lose, you are trying, that's what matters.

When you commit to doing something every day it is hard. It seems impossible and you want to quit but if you just hang in there you will see it gets easier. Every day you get a little stronger. Every day you try a little harder. There will be times when you want to quit. Your mind will tell you to stop. You need to persist. You need to continue trying every single day. And one day you will notice how easy it has become to do something that seemed so hard in the beginning.

Never put aside what you can do today. If you keep pushing your responsibilities to the side, one day they will catch up in unfavorable ways. Just do a little bit every day. If you are consistent, you will get the results you want.

If you are willing to work for it, you can obtain whatever you want. Just put in the hard work and watch everything begin to move your way.
