Philosopher and writer Alain de Botton wrote,
''I think where people tend to end up results
from a combination of encouragement, accident,
and lucky break, etc. etc.'
Encouragement brings out the best in people.
But to be successful, to grow, encouragement
alone is not enough. You need more than that.
You need you to succeed. You need a healthy inner life
to succeed.
And you have got to be willing to face your music.
To get what you want, according to Dr. Henry Cloud,
'...you have to go through a moment of pain to get
to the place you want to be.' If you are willing to do it,
to face your pain, to face your journey, you can do it.
But you are going to be very patient with yourself.
Because great things take time.
Where are you now?
What are you doing right now?
Are you developing yourself?
Or, are you waiting for your future to
happen by itself?
Do not wait. Make it happen.
It won't happen by itself.
Because you are your future.
Whatever you are doing now,
today, this moment, is making your future.
To have a better future, you must
develop a better you.
When you accept yourself,
when you embrace your life,
when you do what you are doing
with love, with passion, with care,
then your future self is possible.
