Life Happens
Failure isn’t fatal or final and “failing” at something doesn’t make you a failure… not getting back up, or not trying at all is. “The only real failure in life is the failure to try.” Failure is not defeat until you stop trying. Never confuse one loss or defeat to a total loss or a […]

Positivity
Happiness is a choice. People are as happy as they allow themselves to be. Your happiness, or lack thereof, is not a reflection of how other people around you treat you; your happiness is a direct result of the choices you make… you alone choose the actions that bring those feelings.

The Best is Yet to Come
Envy is a waste of your time; look around- you already have everything you need. Don’t compare your life to someone else’s. You probably wouldn’t walk a mile in their shoes if they’d let you. And hate? That’s an even bigger waste of time. Life is too short to spend hating anyone. Regret. Regret is […]
