The Past Does Not Equal The Future.

One Of The Finest Beliefs I Developed Years Ago That Helped Me To Enjoy All Of My Life Experience Was The Idea That There Are No Bad Experiences, That No Matter What I Go Through In Life - Whether It's A Challenging Experience Or A Pleasurable One - Every Experience Provides Me Something Of Value If I Look For It.

If You Change Nothing, Nothing Will Change.

There Are Many People Who Live In What I Call 'no-man's Land,' A Place Where You're Not Really Happy, But You're Not Unhappy Enough To Do Anything About It. That's A Dangerous Place. It's A Place Where People Numb Themselves To Their Dreams. It's Where They Dismiss Hope And Accept What's In Front Of Them Instead Of Driving Toward What They Really Want In Life.

Do Something Physical Every Day, Even If It's Just Five Or Ten Minutes Of Fast Walking A Couple Times A Day. That Tends To Replace Fear And Anger With Determination And Courage. It Can Change Your Identity, Your Momentum.

Take The Opportunity To Learn From Your Mistakes: Find The Cause Of Your Problem And Eliminate It. Don't Try To Be Perfect; Just Be An Excellent Example Of Being Human.
