Jump in
The things you do not attempt, you will surely not achieve. Though you may have great excuses and justifications for not taking action, those excuses will bring no value to your life or to the world around you.

You know from experience that life can be a joy when you're moving steadily toward a positive purpose. Hiding behind excuses simply does not bring that joy or sense of fulfillment.

Undertaking an ambitious project is rarely easy. It can often be uncomfortable and challenging. And there is no guarantee of success. Yet the alternative is far worse. Never attempting anything is indeed a guarantee -- a guarantee of failure.

Be bold. Get in the game. Jump in and make a difference. Set your goals high, and then commit to reaching them through your actions. It won't be easy. It will be great.

Amazing post to reflect my upcoming challenges~

Your good fortune
Consider how supremely fortunate you are. You're alive, you're able to think, to act, to make decisions, to make a difference. There are those whom you care about. There are those who care about you. You're experienced, knowledgeable, skilled, curious and resourceful.

With all that going for you, there's no need to be stopped by fear. There's no need to be the least bit insecure. There's no need to be angry, arrogant or deceitful. There's every reason to be confident. There's every reason to move forward.

Sure your life has its shortcomings. Yet those are far outweighed by your blessings and your possibilities. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by stepping confidently forward. You are blessed, you are worthy and you deserve to have the best that life can offer. Use every moment to make that happen.

Who you are
Who do you think you are? Your perception of yourself becomes reality through the thoughts, decisions and actions of every moment. Are you kind? Are you loving? Are you honest? Are you successful? Are you wealthy? You are when you truly think you are.

Every day a thousand decisions greet you. They overflow with opportunity. They can take you to any place imaginable. How do you choose? How do you decide? You do so based on who you think you are.

What do others think of you? It depends on who you think you are. What will you become? That depends entirely on who you think you will become.

Who do you think you are? It is revealed in every moment, in every action, in every decision, in every thought and opinion. The great thing is that you can be whomever you decide you will be. It is your choice. It is your life. So who do you think you are?

Rise to the challenges
You can rise to the challenges or you can let them push you down. You can make the best of them, or you can let them get the best of you. It all depends on how you respond. It all depends on how you see yourself.

If you see yourself as a victim, you will be. Life's difficulties will quickly overpower you if you let them. When you see yourself as a participant in life, as an effective and positively focused force, not only will the challenges yield to your involvement, they will serve to make you stronger.

Look at each challenge as an opportunity. What can you learn from it? What can you do with it? How can you bring about something positive because of it?

When faced with a challenge, ask yourself this question. How can I respond to this challenge so that a year from now, looking back at the experience, I'll be overwhelmingly thankful that it came along?

The challenges are there and they will keep on coming. Rise to the challenges. It's a great way to powerfully lift yourself up.

You have what it takes
You have what it takes to be a leader. You have what it takes to be a winner. You have what it takes to be successful. The question is, will you use it? Will you fulfill the enormous potential that is your life, or will you just sit back and watch others doing it?

Will you be the unique, creative, productive person you were meant to be? You already have what it takes. You have the desire. Look deeply enough and you'll find plenty of it. The resources you need are there. Work diligently enough and they will be available to you in abundance. You have the time -- the same 24 hours in each day as everyone else.

You have knowledge, and the ability to learn. You have skills, and the ability to adapt. Yes, you have what it takes, right now, right here, today. If you're looking for opportunity, stop looking. You are the opportunity. You can truly make a difference in your own special way. You have what it takes. Make it count.

Value in the effort
To desire something without also desiring the effort necessary to create or obtain it is indeed a wasted desire. To get something for nothing is to have nothing but an empty trinket.

The value of anything worth having is in the effort needed to obtain it. The thing itself can be eventually taken away, or it can be depleted, it can break or it can turn to rust. Yet the strength, the experience, the confidence, the wisdom you gain from the effort will always be with you.

When you sincerely look at the things you desire, you'll see that you don't desire those things at all. You desire to be the person who can obtain and maintain those things. As such, it is best to focus not only on the objectives you desire, but also on the efforts which will make them a reality. That's where the real value is.

Your greatest possibilities
What you need, others need as well. What you desire, so do others desire too. Following your dreams is not greedy. Pursuing your most deeply held desires is not selfish, for in so doing you also serve to fulfill the dreams and desires of those around you.

What you do to make yourself the best you can be will benefit others, most likely even more than it benefits you. What you do to serve others will likewise benefit you as well.

When you sincerely examine your desires, you'll find that you have at least as much, and probably even more desire to give of yourself as to receive. Surely you have yearned to be of use, to make a difference, to express yourself. And how would these be possible if not in the service of others?

Be the best you can be and you make your world the best it can be. Truly make a positive difference and you'll fulfill your greatest possibilities.

A positive start
Energize your life by starting each day with gratitude. When you wake up, before you do anything else, stop and count your blessings. Then find something special about each day for which you can be thankful.

It's a great way to get each day started on a positive note, and it can make a major difference throughout the day. Actively practicing gratitude on a regular basis will keep you in touch with the very best of your possibilities. It will enable you to see opportunities and utilize resources which may otherwise have remained hidden or forgotten.

Maintaining an attitude of gratitude will keep you connected to the things of value in your life. So in a very real sense it will add value to each moment of the day.

There are many good things in your life. It makes sense to fully appreciate and enjoy them. When you do, those positive things will grow even stronger. Begin each day by counting your many blessings. By so doing you'll attract many more.

Obtaining value
For anything worth having, anything of value, there is a price to pay. If there were no price, there would be no value. The price is not arbitrarily imposed on the thing of value. The price is in fact a big part of what gives it the value.

If diamonds were scattered around on the ground everywhere, they would be worth no more than pieces of gravel. The rarity of diamonds, and the resulting price that must be paid to obtain them, are what make them so valuable.

Trying to obtain something of value without paying the price will only lead to frustration and disappointment. Much of the misery in the world today is the result of such misguided quests.

For anything of value, be willing to pay the price. Be grateful and enthusiastic about paying the price. Because without the price to pay, there is nothing of value.

[Artemis00]

Great post^^^

You get a sense of accomplishment when you put in the effort to obtain something of value versus having it given to you.

Shame though regarding how some people place more value on quantity rather than quality.

Choose your consequences
The answers you find will come from the questions you ask. The things you accomplish will result from the efforts you mount. The places you go will depend on the journeys you undertake. The rewards you enjoy flow from the risks you are willing to accept.

When you control the causes, the effects will be to your liking. What you get from any experience or situation depends primarily on what you put into it. Those who are wise, have made the effort to learn. Those who are wealthy, have made the effort to earn.

Output depends on input. Input depends on you. What you are giving will determine how you are living. You can get whatever you desire by taking the steps that will cause it to happen. Everything you do has a consequence. Use that reality to your advantage. Choose your ideal consequences by carefully choosing your actions.

Is it really so bad?
Is there anything you need to do, but don't really want to do? Is there something that could bring success and accomplishment, but you just can't bring yourself to do it?

Why not? Is it really so bad? Or have you just become so accustomed to avoiding it, that you've created a block against it? Habits and attitudes perpetuate themselves. And often we find it necessary to break free.

Chances are, whatever you're avoiding, you've probably done many other things that are just as risky or unpleasant or difficult. It's not the thing itself that's stopping you -- it's you. In fact, some of the actions you take to avoid it, are probably just as uncomfortable as doing it in the first place.

Whatever needs to be done -- do it! Break free of your own limiting attitude. You can handle whatever challenges come your way. Stop holding yourself back, and learn to enjoy the actions that lead to success.

Flow and focus
To accomplish anything requires focus. The more highly focused, the more spectacular the accomplishment. Yet we must be careful not to confuse focus with narrow mindedness. We must indeed stay focused, and we must also be aware of, open to, and accepting of the opportunities that come our way.

Opportunity rarely comes in the form we expect and plan for. The challenge of successful living is to gather the many and varied opportunities which come to us on a daily basis, and direct them toward the objectives we have defined. To do that requires discipline, confidence, belief and commitment.

Life will flow your way if you let it. This is not a magical, mystical notion, but rather a very practical concept. The "raw material" for success comes in each moment of living. Spend those moments, and their accompanying opportunities, toward some definite purpose, and you'll accomplish it. Life is always flowing. Jump in and swim along

Know it is possible
Knowing that something is possible is a significant step toward achieving it. As soon as you know, without a doubt, that you can achieve it, in many ways you immediately begin to benefit from it.

Of course achievement requires more than just knowing you can do it. You must actually take the steps which will make it happen. However, those efforts come much more readily when you know that they will surely lead where you desire to go.

Look at all the things others have achieved. Consider everything you have already accomplished. Know that what you desire is possible. Convince yourself of it. See yourself living it in every detail. Fully and sincerely expect it, and you're well on the way to having it.

Your masterpiece
Today is your next masterpiece, waiting to be created. It is the culmination of all you have ever been, of your knowledge, your experience, your skills and your resources. It all comes together today, right now. It is yours to use in the creation of a truly unique and valuable masterpiece.

Paint the masterpiece of today with wide and brilliant strokes. Make every moment count. Treat this day as the priceless opportunity that it is, so that when tomorrow comes, you can look back with satisfaction as you continue to look forward with eager anticipation.

You've spent your life preparing for today. Now has come your chance to live it. You're better than you've ever been. Though the challenges you face are formidable, so too are the opportunities to make a real and lasting positive difference.

You can truly see and understand that life is beautiful even in the difficult moments. Today is indeed your next masterpiece, taking shape even now. Make it better than you can imagine.

Today has a reason
Today is as it should be. Today is the result of reasonable, visible and even predictable influences. Though many of today's circumstances may seem unfair, unjust or cruelly random, to throw up your hands and curse them as such will only blind you to the positive possibilities.

Instead, accept that there's a reason for today. Look thoughtfully at how you arrived at this point. Those same influences which combined to make this day what it is can be harnessed to bring you to wherever you wish to go.

Today has a reason, and today has a purpose. Today has a cause and today has an effect. Today you can plainly see what has already happened and you can directly affect what is to be.

Today is not just another day. It is clearly special, is yours for a reason and for a purpose. Put everything you have today into advancing and fulfilling those positive possibilities which are uniquely embodied in this irreplaceable moment.

Unconditional living
Does what you're doing need to play any role in how you feel? What if you could be filled with joy no matter what the situation, no matter what you were doing? Is that really possible?

Of course it is. Your capacity for joy is not dependent on any particular situation, activity or outcome. Certainly there are conditions and results which you desire. Yet they do not make you or break you as a person.

The essential joy of your living existence is unconditional and all encompassing. You can rise above the fray, you can detach yourself from mere circumstances. And when you do there is a blessed freedom which gives power, focus and effectiveness to all you do.

Don't ignore reality or run away from it. Simply transcend it. You are more than your circumstances. You are more than your problems, more than your possessions, more than your burdens. To the extent that you allow your spirit to rise above your circumstances, you're able to make the very best of them no matter what they may be.

Simple or easy?
There's a big difference between simple answers and easy answers. Simple answers are usually powerful and effective, yet challenging. Easy answers are usually appealing, but not very effective, and can even be dangerous.

Let's say you need to lose weight. The simple answer is -- get more regular exercise and eat a more nutritionally balanced diet. That's simple enough, and though often difficult to follow, usually effective. The easy answer is -- take this pill and eat anything you want. Very appealing, but it probably won't work.

You can spot an easy answer because it is something you want to hear. Even though it may not make much sense, if you want to hear it badly enough you can make yourself believe it. You can spot simple answers because they seem so obvious, even though they may be a bit challenging.

When there's a simple answer and an easy answer, the best choice is almost always the simple answer. It may not be what you want to hear, but it is probably what you need to do.

Make it so
You know what it is you wish to accomplish. Today is the time to make it so. The moment you hold in your hands right now is the link between intention and reality. This day is the arena in which life can be lived and dreams fulfilled.

How long have you wished, how intently have you imagined what the world could be? Here is your opportunity to make it so. The past has already faded into memory. It cannot stop you nor can it push you. This moment right now is yours to live, free of any that have come before.

You have more knowledge, more experience, and more wisdom today than you've ever had before. Make use of it all. Make it count. Make it happen. Make it so.

Being creative
We often think of creativity as producing works of art or literature, as the act of expressing things in a profound and different way. Yet creativity can be a part of every moment.

Thoughtfully responding to situations, rather than mindlessly reacting, is a powerful form of creativity. Seeing the beauty in every detail of every day is a completely creative way to live. Recognizing the opportunities which are hidden in the obstacles is also a way of living creatively. Moving forward instead of fighting back is extremely creative.

Every moment is an opportunity to create. To create what? Not merely amazing inventions, magnificent images or profound strings of words, but a life of fulfillment and purpose. At any time and in any place, be creative. Escape the limiting patterns which hold you back and create a life of greatness. Express the beauty that is your life in a new and different way with each passing moment. That is being creative. That is being truly alive.

Another Approach
When one approach is not working to reach the desired goal, that's not a reason to abandon the goal. Instead, it is time to devise another approach. Sometimes the objective and the means to that objective become so intertwined that it is difficult to imagine one without the other. Yet there are many different ways to reach any particular goal, given enough persistence and creativity.

That's why, for those who are able to consistently get things done, there is no such thing as failure. There are only approaches which have been proven ineffective.

There is a way to achieve whatever you desire, even when you've already fallen short of the mark. There is a way to do it. That way may not be obvious. It may well require some skillful, creative thinking. It's there, though. Learn from each attempt, learn from each approach and you'll surely discover one that works spectacularly.

The direction of strength
It's helpful to visualize strength as something that flows only in a positive, creative direction. When you go along in the same direction, your strength increases. When you move in the other direction, whatever strength you have will quickly disappear.

Apply your strength toward positive and productive ends, and that strength grows. Use your strength for destructive purposes, and you'll see that strength drained away.

Are you going in a direction that's making you stronger? Or are you struggling against the current of your own positive possibilities? When you feel yourself losing strength, it's time to reconsider your direction.

Turn toward excellence. Turn toward goodness, integrity, and accomplishment. Turn toward being the best you can be, and feel your strength grow with each passing day.

A decided advantage
Working every moment toward an objective is far more productive than waiting until the last moment to get started. Progressing steadily gives you a decided advantage over catching up frantically.

The farther in advance you begin to make a difference, the more you're able to leverage your time and effort. Over time, modest efforts can add together to bring big results. Start early, remain steady, and you can do amazing things. Take the opportunity of each day as it comes, and those opportunities seized will pile on top of one another into something grand.

Right now you are working steadily toward a future that you choose by virtue of the actions you take on the way there. Each moment is precious in its own sake, and even more valuable because it contains the seed of greater moments become. Enjoy each moment, nurture the seeds of possibility, and you'll reap a bountiful harvest.

Now you are ready
Stop for just a moment and think a pleasant thought. Relax your mind, your body and your spirit. Find a moment of joy in the beauty of being, right here, right now. Put aside your concerns for a little bit. Experience the depth and wonder of your own existence.

Realize that in this very moment you have everything you could possibly need or want for right now. Settle your spirit into the confidence and assurance which that thought engenders.

Now you are ready for any challenge the world can throw at you. Now you are able to build on the abundance which is already yours. Now you can see your concerns not as problems but as opportunities.

You are alive. You are capable. You are worthy and able. You have at your command a powerful, undeniable force -- the strength to live, to think and to act. Every great achievement is built through thought, action and the passion of being alive. You have everything it takes. Now go forward and make your own special greatness.

The joy of effort
Nothing can match the joy and satisfaction which come from sustained and effective effort. Every person, at some level, has a desire to make a difference. Getting things done, making things happen, creating positive value though effort is a powerful and proven way to make that difference.

Yet all too often we go out of our way to seek comfort and convenience while avoiding as much effort as possible. We make the tragic assumption that "the good life" is defined by an absence of effort, when in fact the opposite is true. There's nothing more empty than a life devoted to leisure.

Fill your days with honest and effective effort. Make a difference in a positive way and your rewards will be great. Experience the abundance of joy which comes from making things happen and getting things done.
