Living your life is just like writing a book…you need to focus on the page that is in front of you. The ink has already dried on the pages in the past and cannot be changed. And the future pages are blank, and you can only fill them in once you get there. The only challenge that you are facing, and the only page that you can complete is the one that you are staring…
Humans are not solitary creatures. So imagine how lonely it would be to reach “the top” only to discover that you are all alone. Life is about sharing both good and bad moments, highs and lows, and victories as well as defeats with those who care about us. So as you are making your climb to the pinnacle of your life, always be ready to lend a hand to a friend, coworker, family member, or…
Your road to success could be someone else’s road to failure and vice versa. Always believe in yourself and your abilities. Your heart will guide you in the right direction, and your gut will double-check your heart’s navigational skills.
Dreams are like a movie trailer. You are getting a glimpse of what could be your future if you are willing to pay the price. But unlike getting into a movie, the cost is more than just the price of admission. You must pay with dedication, drive, and faith in your dream if you want the epic to come to life.
Everyone has various talents. But even if you don’t have a great deal of skill at something that you want to do or achieve, you can do it. But you need to make up for the “missing” talent with hard work, dedication, and desire. The world is full of gifted people who waste their talent because they don’t have the heart, drive, and desire to use their ability to its fullest potential. And the truth…
Every day we wake up is another chance to start our lives over again. We get a second shot at living our lives. We can put behind the events of the past and keep pressing forward to the life we were meant to live. Let us be wise to be grateful for this gift each and every single day. See The Good would like to thank Amy for her guest post. Amy is a…
When you are looking for a best friend, all you need to do is look in a mirror. Until you can feel good about who you are, be comfortable just spending time on your own, and know that you can always count on yourself to get by, you are not ready to be a best friend. And if you can’t offer that to another, then you are not likely to receive it either. Once you…
In real life, practice is not about repeating a task until you have achieved perfection. Practice is the art of working at something until you are happy or satisfied with the result. If we were to only accept perfection in our daily lives, we would be very disappointed, bitter, and for most of us, exhausted by the trial and error mentality. Instead, put your best work into everything that you do and then enjoy each…
Your journey is as personal and individual as your fingerprint. It has been created only for you. And its purpose is to help you learn, grow, and be the best person that you can possibly be. At times you will face enormous challenges, and other times you will enjoy equally great successes. But each will bring you knowledge, strength, and vision that is meant only for your eyes, heart, and mind. Focus on your own…
Sometimes we forget that life is about the simplest things. Today I was reminded of this when I visited my son’s new home. He was finally settled in, had gotten some boxes emptied, and had art on the walls. These were his first steps in turning an empty, blank apartment into his home. The place that he will relax, feel safe, and begin to build a new life. And as a mom, nothing could have…
