We can’t understand today if we don’t have the courage to look at where we are coming from. Whether we want to know or not, we are coming from somewhere.

We have done positive and negative things in the past. We like to think about the positive things that we have done. We don’t like to think about the negative things that we have done in the past. Why is that? Positive things make us feel good, and negative things, on the other hand, make us feel bad about ourselves.

We can’t learn from our mistakes if all we do is to focus on the positive things. It is good to focus on the positive side of things, but it is dangerous to ignore our mistakes. We learn more from mistake than success. ‘We learn more from failure than success.’

But if we really want to know what we have done wrong, why they were wrong, and how to prevent them from happening again, we MUST face our failures. Without that, we can’t have the full picture of our past.

Pearl S. Buck said, “One faces the future with one’s past.” You cannot separate yourself from your past. It is a part of your life. Now, what does it mean to learn from the past?

Learning from the past will prepare you to handle tomorrow’s problems. By understanding your past, you will learn more about your mistakes, your failures, your successes, and you will learn how to prevent your past mistakes from happening again.

You can’t move forward if you don’t know where you are coming from. So to move forward, you must study your past.

“If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday.”– Pearl S. Buck, writer

Whatever You Want In Life Is Within Your Reach. Go For It.

Janis Joplin said, “You got to get it while you can.“

Before you start your journey to success, you must first define what you are chasing. When you define your purpose, it makes the journey a lot more easier to travel.

There is nothing in life you cannot achieve if you want it badly. You are the only one who can get it.

I don’t know what you want. But whatever it is that you want to achieve in your life, you have got to go get it.

If you want to be successful, think differently, do things differently, pursue the right vocation, hang out with the right people- people who are committed to life, respect the process, and help other people get what they want.

You can get what you want if you plant the right seed. Plant the seed of happiness. Plant the seed of love. Plant the seed of great relationships. Plant the seed of service. Plant the seed of optimism.

“You find what you seek.” “You reap what you sow.”

Mencius said, “What proceeds from you will return to you.”

You can do it.

“The only person stopping you from reaching your goals is YOU.” Everything is out there for you get if you have the guts to pursue it. You are the only one stopping yourself.

In order to free yourself from the prison that you put yourself, you have to start by believing in yourself again. Stop thinking about what you cannot do, and start thinking of what you can do to change your life.

Always see yourself as a warrior. Face your fears with courage. People who are successful do just that. If you want to be successful, if you want to get what you want, if you want to change your situation, you must face your biggest demon- FEAR.

To face your biggest demon-fear, believe in yourself. Don’t jump into what you don’t know how to do. If you do, you have just increased your fear. Start small, but think big.

Starting small is the best way to build self-confidence. It is important because if you try and succeed, you will want to try again, and again, and again. In doing so, you are building your self-confidence.

Remember that the only thing that can destroy fear is ACTION.

“Inaction increases your fear.” “Action decreases your fear.”

“The biggest failure in life is not to start small; it is not to start something at all.”

Whatever you want to start, to do, to begin, to chase, to grow, start it now. The right time is now! Not tomorrow. Not nest week. Now!

Are you ready to go for what you want?
