Whatever you have to do, today is the best time to start it. Do not let fear keep you where you are. Follow your passion. Do it. Pursue your passion with all you have. If you do not know what you are passionate about, listen to yourself. Pay attention to what makes you really happy. Be honest with yourself. Do not rush yourself into something. Take your time. But do not quit. Ausonius Said, “Begin whatever you have to do; the beginning of a work stands for the whole.” Yes, to start is to win. If you don’t start something, if you don’t add value to yourself, then how are you going to attract love, happiness into your life?

Every Winner Has Scars

Do not hide your scars. Because where you are going in your life is more important than your scars. Do not wear anything to cover your scars. Let them out. Reveal them to the world. Be proud of your life. Be proud of your journey.

It is through our scars that we learn humility. It is through our scars that we learn more about ourselves. And it is through humility that we endure our scars.

Your life is more important than your scars. Instead of hiding your defeats, your failures, your disappointments, why not celebrate them? Don’t say, “Why me?” Say to yourself, “Thank you, Lord.” Whatever you are going through in your life, do not give up. Do not see it as a problem. See challenges as opportunities to grow yourself, your life, your career.

Do not be afraid to try something new. If you fail at first, try again. Be passionate about your life. The problem is to stay passionate about your life. There are always going to be problems, challenges. You can’t live a problem-free life. It is how you handle your problems that will make all the difference. Herbert N. Casson said, “There are always obstacles and competitors. There is never an open road, except the wide road that leads to failure. Every great success has always been achieved by fight. Every winners has scars. The men who succeed are the efficient few. They are the few who have the ambition and will power to develop themselves.” If you want to succeed, you must face your inner demons.
