“Every day is a new adventure so embrace it fully with your whole heart and soul.”- Crystal Tyler

“Never apologize for being alone, find your purpose and embrace life.”-Gift Gugu Mona

Happiness comes from embracing your life. It doesn’t come from hiding yourself, your life. Don’t hide yourself from success. Open yourself to it. If you want good things, you must stay where good things are happening. If not, you will miss them.

If you want light, don’t stay in the dark. You must get out of where you are hiding. Go out there and meet positive people. Go out there and meet happy people. Happy people will not come to you; you must go out and meet them. They are waiting for you. On the contrary, unhappy people are waiting for you to come and make them happy.

If you isolate yourself, you are isolating your growth. You are isolating your life. You are isolating your progress. And most importantly, you are hurting yourself. You are hurting people, because you have missed the opportunity to increase your happiness.

Happiness is everywhere. Every minute is an opportunity for you to connect with positive people. Every day is an opportunity for you to share your love, your happiness. Every day is an opportunity for you to make a difference in your life. Now is an opportunity to change the world. You can! You have what it takes to do it. So don’t waste it.

In order to be happy, you must go out and search for your spot. Position yourself where happy people can see you. Sell yourself to the right people. Work on the right project. Don’t sell yourself short. You are better than you think. Pursue your greatness, not your weakness. According to Robert Fulghum, “Don’t sell yourself short. You may never have proof of your importance, but you are more important than you think.” In other words, if you want to achieve greatness in your life, you must NOT settle for less. Never!

“If you’re waiting until you feel talented enough to make it, you’ll never make it.”- Criss Jami

“To keep life moving forward, hope for the best, take action, and be persistent.”- Debasish Mridha, MD

Happiness comes from your ability to take action. Unhappiness comes from your inability to take action. If you want to be happy, learn how to take action. If you want to be unhappy, learn how to procrastinate. You must act to make things happen for you. You know, if you don’t change yourself, your situation won’t change. Change starts with you, because you are in charge of your life.

Starting something of value is hard and scary. But if you have the courage to start something, your life will never be the same again. Once you have the courage to act, you must keep acting. It is easier to start something than it is to keep it going. Keeping it going is more important than starting it. If you can’t keep something going, why start it? And if you have the courage to start, to act, to change your life, don’t postpone it. The next day is busy, so do it now!

Whatever you have in mind that you want to do, start it before the fire is extinguished. Learn how to cook your food when the fire is really hot. Start your project before the enthusiasm fades away. You cannot achieve anything of value without enthusiasm. According to Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your personality. Be active, be energetic, be enthusiastic and faithful, and you will accomplish your object. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.”

Don’t look for a perfect place to start. Start where you are. Don’t look for new materials to start with, start with what you have.

Right now is the best time to start anything. Udai Yadla said, “When you wait for the right time, you’ll never know when it’s already too late.” So if you want to start something, start it today, not tomorrow.
