In all that you do, have fun! This is  so important because if you are having fun, you will enjoy what you do. If you enjoy what you do, you will learn and grow from it. If you learn and grow from it you will improve and exceed. If you improve and exceed...you will inevitably succeed!

Live the miracle: Live and enjoy your life to the fullest. Remember how extraordinary even what you think of as ordinary, truly is! Carry forth an attitude of gratitude in all you do, always. For every miracle must not be taken for granted! This is your life. Live it. It is valuable. Make the most of it. If you desire more. Do something about it. Live the life you deserve! Make it great!Start NOW for life is too short! Begin by making TODAY a great day! Love, laugh, live!

Be the example people want to follow, be the friend no one can seem to repay, be the person you always hoped to become. Don't settle for just being all you can be...be more than you ever expected.  May the strength that you have obtained from the difficulties you've endured help you achieve the goals you desire and the life you deserve!  We all have the power and the power to choose to make today Great!

Affect the things that are in your control, and it all begins with the person in the mirror. Things don't necessarily get easier, we just change the impact or meaning by how we choose to deal with them...and through this we get stronger and wiser. Make today a great day!

As long as we believe that someone else is to blame for our problems/difficulties, we are powerless to change. Forgiving helps us take back our power.

Its time to surrender your pain and set yourself and others free. This will change the course of your life. - Victoria Butcher All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame others, it will not change you.

Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop the picture...Do not build up obstacles in your imagination. - Norman Vincent Peale

Let them know that you are thankful for them and that you appreciate having them in your life. You can encourage someone with words, a hug, a gift or even an email or phone call. It is so simple to do; act now and go encourage someone! Make today great!

Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you. - Jim Rohn

You have to find something that you love enough to be able to take risks, jump over the hurdles and break through the brick walls that are always going to be placed in front of you.
