Any change, any loss, does not make us victims. Others can shake you, surprise you or disappoint you.
But they can’t prevent you from moving on.
No matter where you are in life, no matter what your situation, you can always do something. On every turn of life, you will always have a choice. And that choice can be your power.

Choices in Life

No One Teaches
No one was ever really taught by another. Each of us has to teach himself. The external teacher offers only the suggestion which rouses the internal teacher to work to understand things. Then things will be made clearer to us by our own power of perception and thought, and we shall realize them in our own souls. That realization will grow into the intense power of will.

Effort is a blessing
Difficult is nothing more than an arbitrary judgment. Effort is effort, and you can do it if you choose.
A great achievement requires much effort. Yet that effort is difficult only when you see it as such.
Instead of obsessing over how difficult or easy it is, just do it. Focus on the result and, what's even more important, your reason for making it happen.
Every effort is a blessing. For effort enables you to live the life you choose to live.
You have the priceless opportunity of being able to do what it takes. Put joy in the effort, whatever it may be, and reap the rewards of making a difference.
Welcome the effort and all the value it gives you the opportunity to create.
Not being able to do everything is no excuse for not doing everything you can.

Challenge Life
Life is largely a matter of expectation. If you want to succeed, you must expect to succeed. Expectation energizes your goals and gives them momentum. When you believe something good can happen, it will happen
Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prays for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?
Look people in the eye, don’t stare, don’t be so intense, laugh more, smile more, if you smile too much people won’t take you seriously.“You have a good word for everybody”.
There are no problems, only solutions, no obstacles only challenges. Try, try again, keep trying, if you had any talent at all you would have made it by now, why don’t you find something else to do. Rise above it all, take a breather, be realistic, pay attention, heal yourself. See, the problem with you is. . .

Happiness is reachable, no matter how long it lasts .
We should stop making our lives complicated.
Life is short
Break the rules
Forgive quickly
Laugh constantly
And never stop smiling,
no matter how strange life is.
Life is not always the party we expected to be ,
but as long as we are here, we should smile and be grateful.
Life always gives u the best

Confident expectation
In ways you can clearly see and in ways you'll never understand, your expectations become your reality. What you expect most sincerely and persistently, you experience.
All that is within you constantly works to meet the expectations you set for yourself and for your world. You will see, and hear, and touch, and taste, and learn, and achieve whatever you expect.
When those around you are filled with dismay, it is easy to expect the worst. Yet surprisingly, it is just as easy to expect the best when you simply choose to do so, and a whole lot more beneficial.
Begin each day with the confident expectation of specific achievements. At the end of the day, most of those expectations will have been met.
Expectation compels you to find a way. Expectation taps into the large and rich store of resources in your life.
Expect the best of yourself and of those around you. For you truly have the power to make those expectations real.

Turnaround
Can you imagine transforming your greatest frustrations into valuable and lasting accomplishments? When you can imagine it, you have what's necessary to begin to do it.
Some of life's greatest achievements come from understanding what's holding you back and acting to turn it around. There is great transforming energy in frustration, and that power is just waiting to be put to good and positive use.
Each weakness is an opportunity to develop new strength. Every disappointment can help build your desire and commitment to success.
Many great fortunes have been created by those who were able to turn around difficult and challenging situations. What valuable opportunities for turnaround exist in your own life right now?
There is always much room for improvement. The frustrations, shortcomings, pains and annoyances clearly point the way for improving your life and your world.
Instead of regretting or complaining about what's wrong, choose to make positive use of what is. And transform life into the best you can imagine.

In good time
Life always comes to you in good time. There's no need to rush it, and nothing to be gained by attempting to hold it back.
Some things will take longer than you thought they would. Go ahead and get them completed anyway.
Some things will arrive sooner than you anticipated. Go ahead and deal with them when they do.
Make good and thoughtful use of every moment that comes your way. Peacefully let go of any anxiety or resentment about how little time you have or how much time it takes, and simply give your best as time continues to flow.
In good time, you'll get it done. In good time, you'll look back and know without a doubt that you have indeed been moving forward.
The day ahead is filled with opportunities for joy and fulfillment. Give yourself completely to each moment as it comes, and in good time you'll fill your world with richness.

Is It?
Watch out for "is." It can be very limiting. Thinking and saying that something "is" a certain way, puts you in danger of ignoring all the other possibilities.
When you make a statement like "this is impossible" it cuts off all your options. Many things which once were considered impossible have now become routine. Rather than concluding that "this is impossible" try asking "what would make this possible?"
The next time you find yourself saying "this is" or "they are" or "I am" consider that there may indeed be many other possibilities. Rephrase the statement into a question and observe how it opens your mind. Instead of saying "I am no good at selling" ask "How can I improve my selling skills?" Instead of thinking "I'm an expert at Java" ask "What more could I learn about Java?
In a world where change is one of the few certainties, don't let yourself be trapped by "is." Open yourself to the possibilities.
Life is a succession of moments, to live each one is to succeed.

A New Year from now....
Where will you be a year from now? Where would you most like to be? There is so much you've learned and experienced on your journey to this day. Imagine what you can now do with it all.
This new year is a grand opportunity, filled with promise and possibilities. Choose now the very best of those possibilities, and know that you have the power to bring them to life.
You will spend this coming year moving in one direction or another. Commit now to making that direction the one that will take you toward what you sincerely desire.
Life in each moment is influenced by your presence and participation. As this new year unfolds, continue to make that influence a positive and fulfilling one.
Consider today where you would like to be a year from now. For now is the beginning of the year in which you can truly make it happen.
To move ahead you need to believe in yourself...have conviction in your beliefs and the confidence to execute those beliefs.

Attitude
Attitude can turn the coldest, most dreary day into a joyful one, or it can make the most magnificent, sunny day a misery. Attitude has the power to turn almost any situation into an opportunity, or to make the most innocent act or remark into a tragedy of major proportions.
Attitude makes meaning out of whatever may be happening. It is our emotional interface with the world. Are you more troubled by your troubles, or by your attitude toward them? You control your attitude, and by so doing you determine the meaning and influence of your experiences.
Attitude can take a problem and make it so intense as to be completely overwhelming. Attitude can find a tiny kernel of goodness and magnify it to fill the whole day.
Your attitude is yours to control. Use it to make the most of your life.
"Where ever you are, be there totally"

Giving challenge
Few things provide as much satisfaction as being needed. We usually go to great lengths in seeking comfort and pleasure, and certainly do enjoy them. Yet even the most delightful pleasure seems a bit hollow if we're not doing something to make a difference.
And so it follows that one of the kindest things you can do for other people is to make it possible for them be needed. In your desire to help others, you naturally think of giving comfort and pleasure. Look for a way to also give challenge -- the challenge to make a difference.
Several years ago, certain residents of a nursing home were given the opportunity to make a difference when they were each permitted to select a houseplant and to make decisions related to its care. After a year and a half, the residents who were caring for houseplants were found to be more cheerful, active and alert, with less than half the death rate as a similar group of residents who were not caring for plants.
Even the most seemingly insignificant challenges can be truly life enhancing. Make a big difference by providing others with the opportunity to make a difference, too.

Accountable
Life holds us accountable whether we like it or not. Every action produces irrefutable consequences. And though we may try to hide from those consequences, in the end they always catch up to us.
What will you do today to uphold the responsibility you have to your own possibilities? What about in the next twenty minutes? What consequences will your actions produce?
Hold yourself accountable, and the consequences work in your favor. Accept the responsibility for your own life, and you gain control of your own destiny. It's easy, and often very reasonable, to blame your troubles on something or someone outside yourself. It's easy to expect other people, or changing conditions, to solve your problems for you. It's easy to expect dumb luck to bring fulfillment into your life. Easy, and yet sadly misguided.
Ultimately, only you can be accountable for you. It is a serious responsibility and a boundless opportunity.
" Affirm the positive, visualize the positive and expect the positive, and your life will change accordingly."

The Seed
We are full of energy and in need of direction. When that energy is guided toward creative achievement, the results can be spectacular. Plant the seed of encouragement in the fertile ground of a person's life, and it will grow into magnificent accomplishments.
Anyone has the capacity to do great things, yet far too few know it or believe it. No matter how fertile the ground may be, if no seed is planted, nothing will grow. How many lives have been wasted in misery and destruction because they never received even the smallest seed of positive encouragement?
A seed is tiny. Yet when it is planted in the right place and at the right time, and nurtured with care, that tiny seed can grow into a ceaselessly abundant harvest.
Think of the lives around you where the seed of encouragement can take root and grow. Think of the difference you can make when you encourage yourself and when you offer your encouragement to others. Think of the seeds that you have the opportunity to plant. Spread the seeds of encouragement far and wide, and delight in the bountiful harvest that they will surely bring.
" Realize that now, in this moment of time, you are creating. You are creating our next moment. That is what's real."

Difficulties
Difficult challenges can come into your life when you least expect them, and when you can ill afford them. Yet there they are, bullying their way into your world. If you try to ignore them or deny them, they just get bigger and more problematic. The more you let them worry you and get you down, the more helpless they make you.
A life full of challenge is often stressful and uncomfortable, but it is vastly better than the alternative, which is a life full of nothing. Your own particular challenges may seem extremely unfair, and they probably are. But that doesn't make them any less real, nor does it make you any less obligated to confront and endure them.
Accept the challenges when they appear, and you're well on the way to overcoming them. Though they bring disruption and pain, they also bring growth and power. Sometimes what is best for us, is not what we would choose. Life is difficult and in it we find unimaginable joy. Accept it all and live it for all it's worth.
" From what we get, we can make a living; what we give, however, makes a life."

Reminders
Meaningful accomplishment requires sacrifice and constant discipline, qualities which are often sabotaged by the urges and desires of the moment. That's why it is so important to keep reminding yourself of the long-term goals you seek.
There was once a woman who went to work in a home-based direct selling business. Her husband told her she was crazy, and that she was wasting her time, but she didn't let his opinion dampen her enthusiasm. She taped a photograph of an expensive luxury car on her bathroom mirror, where she would see it every day and be motivated to succeed in her business. Her husband just laughed. Then one day she drove home in a brand new car, purchased with the income from her business. It was the same model and color as in the picture. The next morning, her husband had removed the picture from the bathroom mirror and taped up another one -- of a brand new ski boat. Though he had ridiculed the method, he could not deny the result.
When you're working to achieve something, it is vital to have a clear idea of what it is, and to keep that idea at the forefront of your attention. Otherwise, too many influences are ready and waiting to knock you off track. What reminders do you have to keep you focused on your success? Keep remembering where you're headed, and you'll have the strength to get there.

Turn Yourself Around
Fighting frustration with frustration, or fighting anger with anger, will only make matters worse. When events and circumstances have you frustrated, discouraged and too focused on what's wrong with life, it's time to change course.
Turn yourself around. Rather than escalating the negative, do something positive. Give of yourself, play a game with your children, find someone to whom you can say "thank you."
There are many beautiful and valuable aspects to your life -- the people you love, experiences you've had, your spiritual faith, things you treasure and enjoy, places you've been, and everything that brings a sense of pure joy to you.
Refuse to let the negative influences control you. Draw strength from the beauty and wonder that is your life. Take the high road, and transcend the negative. When you're heading down the road of negativity, turn yourself around.

A Special Day
Our lives are full of special days -- holidays, birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, days of celebration, days of remembrance, fellowship, and leisure. We treasure those special days when we take time to celebrate and enjoy life, when we get together with loved ones, when we give a little more of ourselves and find special pleasure in the simple joy of being alive.
And the most special day of all is... today! Because today is where we live. Today is full of possibility, ready and waiting to be filled with life and love. Today brings the opportunities and challenges which give meaning to life. In every moment of today, there is treasure.
Every day is special because we make it special. No matter what the calendar says, each and every day is full of opportunities for life, for love, for making dreams come true. The weeks, the months and the years come and go. Along the way we collect fond memories of the past and build hope for the future. Yet today is when we do our living, when we create the memories and fulfill the hopes.
Life is full of special days -- one right after the other. All the special days in the past have brought us here today. And all the special days to come, begin to take shape right now. Today is indeed a special day, a sacred gift that is ours to fulfill.

Go for it
Dream big dreams. Expect the very best from life. Set your standards high. Reach for the stars.
Success demands effort and sacrifice. Success demands your energy, your focus and your persistence. So make sure that the success you aim to achieve is worth the price you pay. Otherwise, you won't be willing to pay that price.
In the end, the low road is just as long and difficult as the high road. So go ahead and take the high road. Make the journey worth the effort. Life exacts a price, and you will surely pay it. So you might as well pay happily and reap the rewards.
Aim high, dream big, go for the best, and make your days count for all they're worth. Use your days to make a real difference. After all, what better use could they possibly have?
