Inspiration to make your dreams come true
"You can't win if you don't play the game." H. Jackson Brown
Life is too short to passively wait for circumstances to take their course. You have to be proactive and take positive action in order to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Playing it safe bores any sense of exploration out of life; therefore, live a life full of curiosity and wonderment by making a change in your routine today. When you finally find what you were looking for, it will seem so much more fulfilling than if you had never left the comfort zone in the first place!
"Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family." Kofi Annan
Education should be the greatest gift you can give to your children for it will prepare them for life's challenges. No one knows what the future holds, but you can always bet that it will require both knowledge and information to get through any situation. When you educate yourself, you become powerful enough to strive against circumstances and make a change.
"Those who have learned to think by themselves stand alone." Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
It takes a lot of courage to make your own choices in life instead of following the opinions of others. You will be a lonely person if you do not stand up for yourself and make a solid opinion about any issue. While it is important to take in the opinions of others, you also need to learn to think for yourself so that you can make decisions based on logic and reason instead of just by following the crowd.
"An eye for an eye only makes the whole world blind." Mahatma Gandhi
As long as there is anger and hatred in the world, violence will continue to spread like a contagious disease. It would be much more productive if we could all learn to forgive people for their wrongdoings instead of punishing them. If we could begin to practice compassion and forgiveness with each other, we can begin to build a more peaceful world where everyone is free from fear and oppression.
"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit." Aristotle
The real value in life comes from what you do repeatedly over time rather than from the big accomplishments that sometimes get us noticed by our peers. Most of us have heard of the phrase "practice makes perfect," but do not apply that same logic to our daily lives. Most people only remember the spectacular actions in their lives as opposed to all of the "small everyday things" that go into building a happy and prosperous life.
"Be strong. Everything is fine at the end. If it's not fine, then it's not the end." Michael Jackson
It is best to approach life with a positive attitude about its obstacles instead of focusing on all of the bad things that might happen in your life. Just because something did not play out as you had hoped does not mean it is automatically the end of the world; things could still work out for you in a positive manner if you just give them time to resolve themselves.
"The success of any story depends on how well it's told. It's all up to the speech." Paul Newman
The real test of your life is how you tell your life story. The people around you will listen to every word that you say; therefore, in order to be successful in your chosen profession, it is important to learn how to tell a great story. Great speakers always leave an impression on their listeners and become remembered for their words instead of their actions.
"No matter what happens, just make sure that you leave no regrets because regrets are for people who live in the past." Michael Jackson
There are plenty of opportunities in this world where someone has made a mistake and could learn from it. Instead of dwelling on the past, it would be better to let go of any regrets and make a change so that you can enjoy the future. If you continue to dwell on your past mistakes for the rest of your life, you will never be able to experience the true benefits of living in the present.
"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." Wayne Gretzky
When an opportunity comes along in your life, do not think about all of your reasons why it is not worth pursuing; just make sure that you are giving it every chance to succeed. Even if you already know that it is not the best choice, you need to try it and see where it leads in order to make a more educated decision in the future. With practice and experience, you will be able to gain the skills necessary to make better choices in the future.
"Success doesn't always come to the Most Brilliant, or even to the Most Skilled. Success often goes to people that want something so bad, that they are willing to do whatever it takes to get it." Anonymous
It is easy for people with a high level of talent or skill set to become complacent with their abilities because they have already accomplished so much without trying very hard. They have not experienced the hardships that go along with the pursuit of success, so it is easy for them to become overconfident about their abilities. In order for most people to be successful, they need to learn how to be humble and stay motivated throughout long periods of time in order to make progress. Only then will they be able to reach their full potential and achieve real world success.
"A great opportunity may slip away from you; but there are always other ones knocking on your door." Carlos Castenada
When you do not try new things in life, the opportunities that come your way may seem insignificant when compared with what could have been accomplished. The more opportunities you miss out on, the more impotent you will become. Every experience has the potential to be a valuable lesson that can help you in your next endeavor. It is important to never forget how important life is, no matter what setbacks you may face along the way. From this perspective, it becomes much easier to make changes and do things that might not have seemed possible before.
"Life begins when your mind begins to work." Marcus Aurelius
The purpose of education is not just to acquire knowledge; it is also designed to shape the future of each person who uses it. The more you use your mind, the more you improve your ability to be a better problem solver. The skills that you learn in life are important, but being able to think on your feet is equally as important. In order to make the most out of life, everyone needs to learn how to solve problems with their own mind.
"God doesn't require us to succeed; he only requires that you try." Anonymous
In most situations in life, success is not guaranteed. Unfortunately, some people see this as an excuse to not try and accomplish their goals because they know that they are unlikely to achieve them.
Conclusion
The world has become a much different place from where it was when that first man lived on earth. Now, pretty much everyone is trying to achieve the same goals in their lives and many are willing to do whatever it takes to get there. However, not everyone has received proper education in life and therefore they have no idea how to pursue their dreams or how to make the most out of life. There are plenty of people who are willing to help guide others along the way, but sometimes they do not have the means to do so.
