The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well. - Ralph Waldo Emerson Make a positive difference. Live well. Live with passion. Make today great!

If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it. - Mary Engelbreit You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you. Positive thoughts can energize your day and the perfect way to start each morning! Our attitude is the environment we carry with us during the day. It proclaims to the world what we think of ourselves and indicates the sort of person we have made up our minds to be. It is the person we will become. Learn to master change rather than allowing it to master you. How's your attitude today?

Whatever course you have chosen for yourself, it will not be a chore but an adventure if you bring to it a sense of the glory of striving, if your sights are set far above the merely secure and mediocre. - David Sarnoff

What happened even as recently as yesterday is no longer of any consequence, unless we choose to allow it to be. What is of great importance is who and what it is that leaves its mark today, and each day thereafter. What we have been is an established and unchangeable fact. What we can yet become is an unlimited, boundless opportunity. - Jim Rohn

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up - Thomas Edison Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength.

Write it on your heart that everyday is the best day in the year - Ralph Waldo Emerson Be thankful for all the things that are in your life.

It is important for us all to live our lives one day at a time, and realize that RIGHT NOW this is enough. Reflect on the past for what you have learned from it...but do not grieve over it for it is gone. Be careful not to let new opportunities pass you by while you sit idle thinking about the chances you may have lost. Look forward to what lies ahead of us in the future, but do not worry about it, for it has not yet arrived. Stop wondering about the future - create it. Life starts NOW, Live in the present, and make it so great it will be worth thinking about later. Utilize the power of NOW to make a difference in your life! Make it great!

Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Taking action is the part...most people don't do. Then we wonder why things don't change for the better. Don't spot believing. Don't fear. Don't wait. Don't give up. Don't give in. Don't settle for less! Happy and unhappy people tend to have very similar life experiences. The difference is what they focus on. It's your choice. Approach everything with an Attitude of Gratitude and focus on what you have instead of what you do not.

Each man must look to himself to teach him the meaning of life. It is not something discovered; it is something molded. - Antoine de Saint-Exupery  A good life is when you assume nothing, do more, need less, smile often, dream big, understand the gift of laughter and laugh a lot, believe in yourself, and realize how blessed you are. When you go to bed with a dream and wake up with a purpose. Being with people who know your worth and who appreciate you for who you are. 

The most important thing you can do to achieve your goals is to make sure that as soon as you set them, you immediately begin to create momentum.

Success is like anything worthwhile. It has a price. You have to pay the price to win and you have to pay the price to get to the point where success is possible.
