Words of Wisdom...for the Soul of course

SKILLS: Don't wish it were easier; wish you were better. Don't wish for less problems; wish for more skills. Don't wish for less challenges; wish for more wisdom.

GROWTH: Don't join an easy crowd. You won't grow. go where the expectations and the demands to perform and achieve are high.

CHANGE: We generally change ourselves for two reasons: inspiration or desperation.

ACTIVITY: The few who do are the envy of the many who watch.

SUCCESS: Success is what you attract by the person you become.

By: Jim Rohn

Moving Forward

"I've made mistakes in my life.
I've let people take advantage of me,
and I accepted way less than i deserve.
But, I've learned alot from my choices and
even though there are some things I can never
get back, and people who will never be sorry,
I'll know better next time and
I won't settle for anything less than i deserve."
