One thing that we must learn in life is that there are really no short cuts to working hard and dedicating our life to achieving our dreams. There may be many shortcuts that are available to us, but ultimately these shortcuts are just paths that others have already beaten down before us. If we are really adamant about achieving our dreams in the manner that we desire, we have to be willing to follow exactly what is in our hearts to do, even if this means that we are subject to taking the longest most difficult road to get there.
Sometimes after we experience painful situations in life, we have to come to realize that getting past them in our minds completely will just take some time. In this time one thing that is very helpful to allow us to cope and to grieve with the pain of losing someone or something in our lives that we expected to be there forever is that if we work on ourselves, and improve spiritually, emotionally, and physically, we will help ourselves to realize that we are made better because of what we have been through, and that life doesn't stop just because certain circumstances have made their way into our lives.
Always, always trust your first gut instincts. If you feel in your heart and soul that something is wrong it probably is.
When our spirit speaks it is important that we listen. A lot of times we will hear God tell us to let go of things that are only weighing us down, and we must be willing to exercise the free will we have to make the correct decision no matter how far we think it may set us back in the moment.
Success in life is not about luck! It is about managed thoughts, focused attention and deliberate action.
Many successful people know that real success, success that sustains itself for long periods of time, is never determined by luck. Sure, every once in a while someone will get lucky and become sort of instantly successful. But one must come to realize that real success has to be proven over and over again.
Anything is possible when you stop believe it is impossible. Life doesn't provide warranties and guarantees, it only provides possibilities and opportunities for those who dare to make best use of it.
Never let the fact that you aren't where you want to be, stop you from staying encouraged enough to move forward. Nobody is ever where they want to be at every given time, if we were wouldn't life be perfect?
The best thing that you can do in life is follow your heart. Take risks. Don't just take the safe route and easy choices because you're afraid of what might happen. Don't have any regrets and know that everything happens for a reason.
Whenever we are faced with a challenging decision in which the people who are around us feel that we should decide in one fashion, while in our hearts we know that we must decide in another way, we must go with what we know is the best decision to make for us. For truly the only person who will be answering for the making of this decision will be the person who made the decision in the long run.
It is in all of us to defy expectations, to go into the world and to be brave and to want to need to hunger for adventures, to embrace change and chance and risk so that we may breathe and know what it is to be free.
When you allow for yourself to step out of your comfort zone, you then allow yourself to finally live. Adventure is worthwhile, because it is the only thing that truly allows for a person to feel as though they have lived. A person with an adventurous mind is one that has gained much knowledge not by what others have told him, but by seeing life and the world for his or herself, through their own eyes.
If you want something you've never had then you've got to do something you've never done.
A fulfilled life is a life that was made by a person willing to sacrifice one thing to achieve the results of being happy. Life is never easy and if we want to make it a success we have to be willing to sacrifice today, in these very moments so that we may best be able to do so.
Plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
Standing around and waiting for someone to create and build a dream for us to inherit the profits and rewards of is ludicrous, yet a lot of people think that it just might workout this way. As this quote says, we must develop ourselves personally. Many times some of us find ourselves looking towards other people to tell us what to be, and how to be ourselves. It is impossible to look at someone else to determine how to be yourself, because you will only develop yourself in someone else's image by doing that.
Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.
Every accomplishment begins with a person deciding to try what dreams and vision that they may have in their hearts. Instead of just being someone with a creative imagination, and just being able to dream, we have to make efforts to try and live to become the person that we dream about being. There is only one possible way to ever see the dreams of our hearts come to fruition and that is to try.
