What are you scared of? Are you scared of other people’s opinions of you? Are you scared of life? No, you should be scared of life. Why is that? Because life is full of issues. Life is full of opportunities. Do not be scared of life. Life is for you to live. And to live it well, you must believe in your life. Life is hell when you do not believe in your life, when you do not know what you are doing, when you are just going with the flow, when you are confused.

“Life is hell when you do not believe in yourself.”

The only thing you can do about what you cannot control is to accept it.

You are unique. But just know that you cannot control everything . Just control what you can control. And do not let what you cannot control stop you from challenging life. If you are to succeed in your life, you will never stop fighting life. Because life is all about fight. You must fight for whatever you want. And there is nothing you cannot get if you are willing and ready to fight. If you are willing to fight, you will succeed. And success is not an event. Sucess is a process. Success takes time to achieve. If you want to succeed, you must cultivate the courage to walk alone.

“Success is not an event.”

Terence once said, “I am the most concerned in my own interests.” Yes, you are you. And you are here to make your life a masterpiece. If you cannot do it right now, do not give up. Keep going. Keep fighting. Keep living. And keep loving!

“Success is a journey.”

You Get What You Plant

Charles Reade once said, “Sow an act and you reap a habit. Sow a habit and you reap a character. Sow a character and you reap a destiny.” You can do whatever you set out to do in your life. But it begins with a single seed. You must plant your own seed in the ground. Do not just plant any seed, plant your own seed. If you plant love. you will reap love. If you plant happiness, you will reap happiness. If you plant hate, you will reap hate. Remember that we are what we plant. If you don’t like something, don’t plant it, don’t nurture it.

Do what you feel good about doing. Do what feels really good in your heart. Follow it with all your might. Don’t waste your time on doing things that are not nurturing your life. Don’t waste your time on people who don’t appreciate what you bring to the table. If they don’t appreciate you, don’t worry yourself about it, there are others who will never let you down. Don’t nurture a terrible relationship. It is not good for you.

If you nurture a terrible relationship, you will get a terrible relationship. According to Zig Ziglar, “What you see in others, exists in you.” If you see love in others, don’t hold yourself back, embrace it. If you see life in others, don’t hold yourself back, enjoy it, live it. We are one. We live separately, but together. We are all connected. So connect yourself with love, with happiness, with forgiveness. Don’t be afraid to let go of what you don’t like in your life. When something doesn’t fit you anymore, let it go. Do not sow the seed of attachment. Because life is not about attachment, but about letting go. It is not easy to let go, to forget things, to live without them. But if you can let things go, you will really feel good about yourself, because it allows you to live your real life. So if you want to live a peaceful life, you must learn how to let things go.
