Life is about growth. If you are not growing, then what are you doing?

Do This One Thing That Counts Every Day

Are you enjoying what you have? Are you listening to the voice of your heart? If you are not, why are you not doing it? Are you scared? If you are scared, why?

“The purpose of life is living. Men and women should get the most they can out of their lives.”- Clarence Darrow

If you want to be successful, you must listen to your own heart. You must follow your heart. Do not go with the crowd. Yes, new things are scary. If you can do them, you will grow.

Wilheim Reich said, “Follow the voice of your heart, even if it leads off the path of timid souls. Do not become hard and embittered, even if life tortures you at times. There is only one thing that counts: to live one’s life well and happily…” It is never too late to live your life on your own terms.

“It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.”- Charles Spurgeon

Even if life is not giving you what you want, do what Friedrich Schiller said. He said, “Keep true to the dreams of thy youth.” This is why you shouldn’t follow the crowd. There is nothing there. If you follow the crowd, you are not going to be happy with yourself.

Whether you know what is going to happen or not, whether it will work or not, it is better to follow your heart, your dreams, your passion. Listen to what your soul is telling you. Do not ignore your soul. Your soul is your partner. If you want to succeed in life, listen to your trusted partner- your soul.

And to satisfy your soul, you must not follow the crowd. You must follow your own path. You must dream your own dreams. Remember, everything starts with a dream. If you want to make your soul happy, you must dream your own dreams. Henry J. Kaiser said, “I always have to dream up against the stars. If I don’t dream I will make it, I won’t even get close.” He knows that everything starts with a dream.

Remember, it is not enough to have a dream. If you want your dream to come true, you must have a plan. And you must be willing and ready to put your plan to work. Are you willing to put your plan to work?

This Is The Only Thing That Matters Right Now

“Seize the moments of happiness, love and be loved! That is the only reality in the world, all else is folly. It is the one thing we are interested in here.”- Leo Tolstoy

There is no ordinary time. There is no ordinary day. And there is no ordinary life.

If you know what you want, every moment is a special moment. If you are doing the right thing, every moment is a special moment.

If you are living rightly, every where you go is a special place. Do not take anything for granted. Because you are here to enjoy your life, to live your life, to make things happen.

Leo Tolstoy said, “Love is life.” When you are in love with yourself, nothing can stop you from getting to where you want to be. Because love is happiness. Love is strength. Love is energy. Love is peace.

When you are in love with yourself, you are in love with your life.

Richard Bach said, “The things we own, the places we live, the events of our lives: empty settings, and forget diamonds! The only thing that matters, at the end of a stay on earth, is how well did we love, what was the quality of our love?”

Love matters. If you don’t love yourself, you can’t touch other people. To touch other people, “love and be loved!”
