Stay True

Stay true to yourself, yet always be open to learn. Work hard, and never give up on your dreams, even when nobody else believes they can come true but you. These are not cliches but real tools you need no matter what you do in life to stay focused on your path.

– Phillip Sweet

         No matter what you may face in this life, you must always remain true to yourself. Have faith that your path will lead you to achieving your dreams. But as you travel along your path, you must be open to learn and willing to work hard to tackle whatever awaits around the corner.

 

Believe in Yourself

“Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.”

Norman Vincent Peale

          If you don’t have faith in yourself, then who will? So, no matter what you choose to do in this life, you must have confidence in yourself and your abilities. Believe that you are capable of achieving your goals and making your dreams a reality.

Life’s Balancing Act

“The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.”

—Doctor Who

         Life is a balance. We all know it has its ups and downs, but you must remember that all the good doesn’t outweigh all the bad things and the bad things shouldn’t overshadow the good aspects of life. For life is all about perspective and how you choose to react to what is before you. So, appreciate the good times when they come and don’t give up or lose faith during a stormy night.

Patience

“When you have a dream that you can’t let go of, trust your instincts and pursue it. But remember: Real dreams take work, They take patience, and sometimes they require you to dig down very deep. Be sure you’re willing to do that.”

– Harvey Mackay

         Rome wasn’t built overnight. So, it goes without saying that your dreams won’t be achieved overnight. No, it takes time, patience, and perseverance to achieve your goals and dreams. Whether it be personal or professional. You must, therefore, work even harder to not get frustrated, disappointed, or discouraged along the way. Have faith that things will work out in the end.

Stand Tall

“Even after the stormiest weather, a true warrior will still reflect the brilliant rays of the magnificent sun through both his or her eyes. You may get hit by sudden lighting or take severe beatings from the cruel wind, but you will always get back up and stand strong on your feet again, soak in the sunlight, and be prepared to get hit by even the most merciless hail – time and time again.”

― Suzy Kassem

         Stay strong and resilient no matter how stormy the night. If you get knocked down, it’s okay so long as you get back up to face another day. For life is about weathering its many storms to emerge on the other side to see the Sun rise…and to experience renewed hope.

See With Your Heart

“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”

― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

           It’s important to think things through and plan ahead, but you must not forget how to simply listen to your heart. Learn to trust your intuition and heart just as much as you do your head. Never forget that your mind is your logical guide to life; whereas your heart is your moral compass and most important part of you.

Choose to Act

“The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward.”

– Amelia Earhart

        Sometimes in life you have to take a leap of faith into the unknown without knowing what awaits you on the other side. You have to take chances in order to move forward to create the life you desire. So, don’t be afraid to take the untrodden path and don’t look back from whence you came, for you aren’t going in that direction any longer.

Work Hard

“If you really believe in what you’re doing, work hard, take nothing personally and if something blocks one route, find another. Never give up.”

― Laurie Notaro

          There is always more than one path to a destination. And in life, you will learn that you may have to change directions several times before reaching your destination. Sometimes the path you travel may be smooth, while at other times it may be extremely rough. The key is to never give up. Just work hard and try a new direction when one route is blocked. And most importantly, have faith for you will find your way.

Follow Your Vision

“Don’t be discouraged if people don’t see your vision, your harvest. All they see from their perspective is that you’re watering a whole lot of dirt. They don’t SEE what seeds you’ve been planting with blood, sweat, tears and lack of sleep. Make sure you don’t abandon or neglect it because “they” don’t see it. You have to KNOW and believe for yourself. They don’t see the roots and what’s budding under the dirt. But it’s okay, because it’s NOT meant for them to see it. While you wait, MASTER it. You continue to do YOUR work and have unwavering faith! Remember why you started planting in the first place. Your harvest WILL come!”

― Yvonne Pierre, The Day My Soul Cried: A Memoir

           Remember to always follow your path and chase your dreams. No two paths are the same, and you must have faith and conviction that you are going in the right direction. Don’t let others lack of vision detour or sidetrack you from continuing along the road that you, and you alone, are meant to travel. Be your own support and follow your own compass.

Never Stop Dreaming

“Some choose to dream with a safety net. I dream with nothing to catch me, that way if I fall nothing can stop me from rising back up.”

― Evelyn Shepherd

        Never stop dreaming and believing you can accomplish the impossible. Sometimes you will succeed along the journey and sometimes you may stumble. The key is to keep standing back up each time you fall. And no matter what, never give up.
