Are you willing to change?
Your life right now is the result of the things you have done up until this point in time. If you want your life to be different, you will need to make changes. Wishing for a better life won't make it so. In order for "things" to change, you must be willing to change. That means getting out of your comfort zone. It means facing your fears. It m... more...

Hope
Hope is a good breakfast, but it is a bad supper. -- Francis Bacon We must live WITH hope, yet we cannot live BY hope. It is fine to hope for the best. That, however, is not enough. We cannot merely hope, we must take action. It is sad how many things are tolerated in the hope that they will improve. Hoping for the best won't do anything. W... more...

Failure
The surest recipe for failure, is to avoid failure. If you cannot accept the prospect that you might fail, then you will most certainly fail. To avoid failure, is to avoid even the possibility of success. Accomplishment requires effort and commitment. And it requires risk. Accomplishment requires that you make decisions, set priorities, make ch... more...

Learn and grow
We've all made mistakes. We've all done things that we've been ashamed of. Life is a learning experience, and mistakes are the most effective teachers. Living successfully is not about avoiding mistakes, it is about learning from them. Making a mistake once is, in the long run, a blessing for what it teaches. Making the same mistake again and a... more...

Never stop growing
When you think you know it all, then you deny yourself the opportunity to learn anything new. When you decide that you've seen it all, you cut yourself off from new and enlightening experiences.Every day is an opportunity to grow. Always take advantage of that opportunity, for it is a big part of what makes you alive.No matter how much you've alrea... more...

The secret to wealth
Did you know that you can be as wealthy as the richest person alive? Right now, if you choose. Wealth is more than money and property. Wealth is what you don't need. The less you need, the wealthier you are. The opposite of wealthy is what? Needy! So there are two ways to be wealthy. One is to accumulate more and more, to meet your ever inc... more...
