It is nearly impossible to remain discouraged for long when your goal is compelling enough. If you're discouraged, the answer is not to scale back your dreams, but rather to expand them to the point where you cannot help but be pushed forward by them. The challenges, the obstacles, the difficulties are going to be there, no matter where you're headed. So you might as well head toward where you truly want to go. You won't always be able to control which challenges come your way, yet you can control what rewards are on the other side of those challenges. Make those goals, those dreams so big and so meaningful that the challenges will seem trivial by comparison. Your expectations will determine your attitude, and your attitude will determine your actions. Your actions, in turn, will determine the results you achieve. Your future is yours to create, regardless of what has happened in the past. Imagine the best, expect the best and you'll know that you have what it takes to get there. |

Give |

When you give more than you expect to receive, you'll end up receiving more than you ever expected. That which you give, comes back to you many times over, while that which you withhold never goes anywhere or accomplishes anything. Nothing makes you feel more positive about yourself than giving of yourself to others. And when you truly, sincerely feel positive about yourself, you can achieve magnificent things. If all you're ever concerned with is what's in it for you, there will never be very much in it for you. Yet when you expand your focus and give the best you have, in return you'll experience the best there is. If you wait to receive something first before you ever begin to give, you'll miss out on ninety percent of life's best opportunities. Unfortunately, that's an approach that all too many people adopt. But there's no need to be held back by the shortsightedness of others. Take the first step, give of yourself, with enthusiasm, with positive energy, and with the best of expectations. Keep it up, and you'll find that those expectations, high as they may be, will always, in time, be greatly exceeded by the positive and valuable difference you make. |

Make it happen |

You can do more than just think about what you would like to achieve. You can take the focused, persistent actions that will make those achievements happen. You can do more than just wish for a better life. You can decide precisely what would define a better life for you and then work your way steadily toward it. You can do more than just wait for your problems to go away. You can have the courage to look straight into those problems, and find a way to transform them into opportunities. You can do so much more than simply waiting and hoping, wishing and wondering. You can gather whatever resources you may have, combine them with your time, your energy, your commitment, and make things happen. Ever since you were a child, you have been making things happen. It's an ability that everyone has, yet far too many people make too little use of it. If you just wait for life to happen to you, you're probably not going to be very pleased with what comes your way. So get up, get going, take control of the great and wonderful possibilities that are indeed yours, and make the most of every moment. Remember the three types of people: 1. Those that wait for it to happen. Denny Kessler |

Great thoughts! Giving is sooo important and it brings joy to one's heart. And the whole part about making it happen is very true. I find I get "stuck" at times and nothing is getting done. I'm always working at that part of my life. Thanks for sharing.[SMILE]
