Success is no longer measured in dollars earned, the square footage of your house, or the money you have spent on possessions. We have evolved to understand that success is measured in the happiness you gain from the experiences in your life, the love that you share, and the good that you pass along to others during your life.
Not everyone has a rock-solid foundation to build their life on. But if you can imagine the future that you want, you can achieve it no matter what your foundation looks like. Think of your future as a home, or a place that you will reside at some point in time. Some homes are built on concrete, while others are made to float on the water. And yet others are constructed in trees that sway…
I’m not God. You’re not God. Neither one of us is in control of anything. So you might as well just chill out and relax. Sure, I wake up every day with these ideas about what I want to do, but more times than not, things will not go the way I am hoping it will. I could get all out of sorts, but why? What is the point?

We each have a past that has contributed to the person that we are today. But those events and experiences do not define who you are or limit your future. It was only a starting point.

Don’t view a change of direction as a failure. Choose to see it as a new beginning filled with unlimited potential.
It doesn’t matter where you live, what you do for a living, or how much money you have in the bank. All that really matters is what is in your heart. That is what defines you and how you will be remembered. Everything else is just the wrapping for the real gift, that is you.
Not all closed doors are locked. But until you try to open the door, you will never know. And sometimes, the key to a locked door is hidden nearby. But you would never find it if you don’t take a moment to look for it. And some doors are just not meant to be opened at the precise moment when you arrive.

I may have learning disabilities but I’m not stupid. I may learn things differently but I’m just like you. I have feelings. I hurt, too. God may have made me different but that doesn’t mean I’m not just as special. I’m going to make a good life for myself. I’m going to accomplish what I wish. Am I going to allow anything to stop me?
