Be better
When you are treated rudely, it is tempting to offer rudeness in return. But all that does is add more discord to your life.
It is difficult to show genuine consideration toward someone who has been inconsiderate or disrespectful toward you. And yet, that is precisely the response that most powerfully advances your life.
When you get yourself mired in fighting back against every...

Make your luck
Wish for good luck, and you’ll likely end up disappointed. Make your own luck, and you’ll make it as good as you can imagine.
Fulfillment does not just come to you out of nowhere. The fulfillment you experience in your life is the fulfillment you choose to create.
It might be comforting to chalk up your failures to bad luck. However, it is much more empowering to quickly and...

The power to do it
You can do it, when you have a good and meaningful reason. You can do it, if you commit to it and act on it and persist until the goal is reached.
You can start with what is, and make it into whatever you would like it to be. You can begin from where you are, and get to where you want to be.
Instead if idly letting the moments pass by, you can make full use of each one....

Create your experience
You’ve made plenty of mistakes. Now is when you can positively apply the lessons you’ve learned from those mistakes.
You’ve made lots of excuses, and found that those excuses have not brought any value to your life. Now you’re in a position to leave the excuses behind and to take the actions that create real value.
You’ve fantasized about getting something for nothing....

Everything can move you forward
Failure is a result of what has already been done, not an indication of what you can now move forward and do. Each failure, in fact, can move you closer to success.
Don’t let disappointing results reduce your confidence. It’s more realistic, and much more effective, to let each failure strengthen your confidence.
The more experience you have with what...

You are not here to live out someone else’s idea of a satisfying life. You have your very own unique perspective on what is important and meaningful.
