DECIDE TO NEVER LET ANYTHING TURN YOU AROUND
It is time to believe in yourself and your dreams. It is time to take the risk of living your true life. It is time to hold your head up and decide to never let anything turn you around.
Stay connected with people who inspire, nourish and bring out the best in you. It takes time to pull yourself together and to heal if you have been hurt, humiliated, or become emotionally broken because of what you have gone through. You can become disconnected with the real you and forget who you really are. It is necessary to read, listen and focus on positive things. Things that strengthen your mind, develop your confidence and fortify your spirit. Create a strategy that will allow you to rid your life of people whose only intention is to strip, destroy, or take you down.
Be aware that there are certain situations that are just not good for you. Make a conscious, deliberate effort to focus your mind exclusively on things that will build you up, give you hope and expand the possibilities in all dimensions of your life. You have the capacity and the ability to rebuild your life. What you have gone through can be used to develop another part of yourself. Stay connected with positive people with the knowledge that you will get through this. You have something special. You have GREATNESS within you!

EVERYWHERE AND NOWHERE
Everywhere and Nowhere
Nowhere is not a bad place.
It’s just the place you come to
when you no longer have “somewhere else” to go.
It’s just the place you come to
when you stop avoiding this moment
and realize that the journey
doesn’t have to do with anyone but you.
You are the subject: your thoughts,
your feelings, your words, and your actions.
Turn your attention here
and you stop running around like Don Quixote
fighting windmills.
You can be where you are
and address the origin of joy and suffering
inside yourself.
Enlightenment doesn’t involve
getting something you do not have.
It involves relinquishing a barrier you have placed
between yourself and truth.
It is not so much a finding of truth,
but a giving up of illusion.
ABLE TO GIVE
Able To Give
If you don’t give value in return for value, your life gets out of balance. If all you do is take, that takes a big toll on you.
Getting something for nothing is not something you want. It may seem good on the outside, but it will tear you up on the inside.
Tokens of achievement are a poor substitute for being a person who does the achieving. The goodies alone will not fulfill your deep-seated desire to make a difference.
Take a continuing, active role in your own fulfillment. Anything less is not true fulfillment at all.
Jump at the opportunities to create value. Get away from people who promise or who seek something for nothing.
Your heart wants to be able to give. Do yourself a favor, and let it.

STEP FORWARD WITH POWER AND FIERCENESS
Do not accept life the way it is. Step forward and take life on. Look for a way to win, because you can! If life has hit you below the belt...so what? You are still in the game. It will take far more than that to take you out!!
Step forward with the power and fierceness that you have used in the past to get through what appeared to be a hopeless situation. You still have the power, the drive and the ability to take your life in another direction. You were born to win! Step forward! Success is in your DNA. Giving up is not an option. Because you have GREATNESS within you!
