All Words are Mirror
Waiting for something to ‘be right’ is just an excuse to put off success.
Every excuse you can think of that keeps you from applying knowledge keeps you from succeeding, or achieving a goal.
Thoughts are reflections of how we see ourselves, how we see the world around us, and how others see us as well.
Especially be aware of the words that come from your heart, your stomach, and your soul. If you are going to make a change, you must be aware of the thoughts and words generated by your emotions.
If you cannot be aware of when your emotions are doing your thinking, you will never survive the journey.
All words are mirrors that provide opportunities for you to look into your soul.
We have direct control over what we think, feel, and believe. And that has direct influence over how we see reality.

Be Strong and Take Courage
If you look at anything good that’s ever happened to you in your life – anything that is sustainable and consistently good – it is because you made it happen.
Like all things in life, having a focus and a goal will help you to achieve what you want. But you have to be ready for it.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that people who are stuck in their ways are people who never advance. They never break new ground. They just keep getting the same results they’ve always gotten.
It’s the people who are willing to take risks, try something new, and do things everyone called them “crazy” for, who get the phenomenal results.

Setting Goals
The first key factor is knowing what you want.
The second key factor is knowing how to get it.
If you don’t know what you want, and don’t know how to get it, chances are you won’t achieve anything.
Write it down on a piece of paper and keep it within your sight to remind you.
You have to know what you want before you can achieve it, because different goals require different types of work in order to achieve them.
But more important than having an outcome is being able to VISUALIZE that outcome.
That is why you break your outcome up into a process. Processes are a series of mini-goals and actions that lead to your greater outcome.

Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstanceI have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
William Ernest Henley
