You need to learn to be happy by nature, because you will seldom have the chance to be happy by circumstance. Great and fulfilled people draw their strength from God. Greatness is not where we stand, but in what direction we are moving. We must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it but sail we must and not drift nor lie at anchor.
You may never know how big of an impact you are on the world. On behalf of the rest of us, I appreciate your person and personality. Thank you for your contributions so far. However, I still know that this is not your best so far. However, I still know that this is not your best. The best is yet but sure to come. T.S Eliot said “Only those who risk going so far can possibly find out how one can go.
What do you want to achieve? Which legacy do you want to leave behind? I have good news for you God said “take what you want, then pay for it”. Jane Wagner also adds “I always wanted to be somebody. Now I see that I should have been more specific. Don’t let a lack of focus or direction limit your potential.
Reach out to your dreams. Try again…don’t allow the failure of others or your past prevent you from trying. Launch out to the deep. Don’t just say the race is not to the swift because the race is to those who keep on running. A great man was asked to prescribe the secret to success he said “Keep at it”.
Don’t be like a coward who thinks with his legs in times of trouble. Use your brain….exert your mind. If you can think through, there is a way through. Don’t just satisfy the stake holders; astonish them with your performance.
Fight for your dreams. Once you stop fighting for what you want, what you don’t want will automatically show up. Don’t be indifferent. Do something with your life. Greatness is a choice you must embrace. Upgrade your skill sets and mindsets. Add value to every hour and day.
