Persistence, Patience, and Truth

Persistence

 All things are difficult before they are easy.  It’s not about falling, it’s about getting back up.  Success is not a skill, it is a persistent attitude.  

  

Patience 

Using time, pressure and patience, the universe gradually changes caterpillars into butterflies, sand into pearls, and coal into diamonds.  You’re being worked on too, so hang in there.  Just because something isn’t happening for you right now, doesn’t mean it will never happen.

  

Truth 

Tell the truth, or eventually someone will tell it for you.  Living a life of honesty creates peace of mind, and peace of mind is priceless.  Period.  Don’t be dishonest and don’t put up with people who are.

What You Focus On Grows

“There’s so much that could go wrong.” – Stop being afraid of what could go wrong, and start thinking of what could go right.  Better yet, think of everything that already is right.  Be thankful for nights that turned into mornings, friends that turned into family, and past dreams and goals that turned into realities.  Use these positive points to fuel an even brighter tomorrow"

Lifting Upward

 

"Those who are lifting the world upward and onward are those who encourage more than criticize." Elizabeth Harrison

Picking yourself back up

Where you are in life is temporary; where you end up in life is permanent; how you get from here to there is entirely up to you.  So don’t give up.  Sometimes when things go wrong it’s because they would have turned out worse if they had gone right.
