Life has knocked every one down at least once or twice, and will continue to do so, as long as we keep progressing towards the top. We must always be willing to get up when life knocks and down, realizing that the more and more we are willing to try, the more and more life will become easier for us.

Seeing real success in life means that you absolutely have to be willing to tough out situations that you may have never even saw coming. Life is so unpredictable, and dealing with all of the adversity it throws your way, is definitely not the easiest thing to do most of the time. You have to consistently keep yourself motivated by communicating with yourself.

One of the biggest qualities of a great leader is being able to establish generation after generation of change. Strong leaders don't have to put people down, because their focus is on lifting people high to continue in patterns of greatness.

When we are truly living life the way we know our life was meant to live, we are truly able to smile from a place of peace, and with a spirit of gratitude and thanksgiving. Real genuine smiles comfort, and let people know that despite the pain that we may be feeling in our lives, through it all, nothing is impossible, and nothing can truly stop you from smiling.

A lot of times in our lives, the people that we share our lives with will not understand all of our emotions. It is the people who are willing to hold us up when we are down, that should receive the majority of our time. We have to keep in mind to shy away from giving our attention to the people who could really care less about us.

In order to live your best life possible we must be willing to rely on the fact that we are stronger, that we are braver and that we are smarter than we may believe we are. In order to overcome the struggles that we will all see throughout life we have to be willing and courageous enough to believe in ourselves and to also believe in the person that we want to become. We must be willing to keep our eyes on the dreams we have, instead of taking them off of our dreams and focusing on the obstacles in front of us.

If we are ever to keep a strong heart we have to be willing to do the things in life that hardly anyone else is willing to do. We have to be willing to keep our heads up. Yes, sometimes the battle will get difficult. Sometimes it will feel as if we aren't equipped enough to do the things that we always wished that we could do. Sometimes it will be cold when we need it to be warm, and sometimes it will be wet when we need it to be dry.

No situation in life will be the perfect set up if we are on the way to greatness. Greatness isn't made by not being challenged. People who never have to work for anything in their lives don't make greatness. Greatness is made by determination, focus, and dedication to the plan or vision we have in our hearts. So keep your head up, keep your heart strong, keep on pushing.

The person we see when we look in the mirror, the person we think of when we think of ourselves, is paramount because we will never be able to be more than we think we are. You can't allow things into your life that you dont think you deserve because most times you won't see them. When you really value yourself, you will also make great use of almost all of your time. It takes us being able to value our time to be able to really value our efforts and ourselves.

There are always going to be bad things that happen in your life, what is the measure of a man, is how he or she responds to the things that happen in their lives. When you think about the greatest beings that walk earth, you realize that those who are great don't get caught up in falling or losing a battle. Those who are great rise to the occasion, and shrug off defeat.

When Jesus gave one of his first sermons, there were many who mocked, there were many who laughed at him, there were some who didn't like what he had to say, and there were some who just simply didn't understand what he had to say. At the end of his sermon, there were also a few people who believed in what he said so much that they left everything behind and followed him as his disciple.
