“Life is very simple, but keeping it that way is very difficult.”- John C. Maxwell

Life is simple. How are you living your own life? Are you focusing on things you cannot do or on things you can do? To enjoy, grow, and be happy in your life, do not take on what you cannot do. If you do, it is a ticket to an unsuccessful life.

“Planning your life is about finding yourself, knowing who you are, and then customizing a design for your growth.”- John C. Maxwell

Do you have a plan for your life? Do you have a plan for your growth and development? Before you draw or write your plan, make sure you know what you want in your life. Make sure you know who you are. If you do not know who you are, you cannot write out a clean plan for your life. Do not copy people’s plan, write your own plan, and follow through.

“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.“- Albert Einstein

You cannot grow in your life if you stand still. You must keep moving. You must keeping trying new things. You must keep taking risks. You must embrace your dreams with courage. If you fall, get up, and keep going.

“Life seems to love it when you stop resisting and starts coming your way more.”- John C. Parkin

If you want to live a beautiful life, stop resisting nature. Do not resist change. Change is inevitable. Your pain goes up when you resist natural things- change. Change what you can change, go with the ones you cannot change.

“Life is pain and pleasure in equal measure.”- John C. Parkin

Pain is not something you ignore, it is something you pay a close attention to. It is your messenger. If you ignore your pain, it will only get worse, and it will steal your happiness away.

Happiness is not without pain. Happiness is when you understand and accept your pain. Happiness is your ability to cope and live with pain without losing your life.

“Pain is the way to success. Pain is the way to happiness. Pain is life. You cannot live your life without pain.”

Master your pain, or it will master you.

Do you want your pain to master and control your life? Or,

Do you want to master your pain?

“The Time Is Now, The Place Is Here.”

There is no perfect time to start something. The right time to start anything is now. If not now, when?

If you want to start something, don’t wait for the perfect time to come. There is no perfect time to do anything. The perfect time is now, not tomorrow, not next week, not next month, not next year. If you don’t do it now, when are you going to do it.

If you don’t take action to change your life, if you don’t take action to change your situation, your life will never change. You are the only person who can change your life. Dan Millman said, “The time is now, the place is here. Stay in the moment. You can do nothing to change the past, and the future will never come exactly as you plan or hope for.”

Yes, you can’t change the past, but you can do a lot of things to shape your future. You can shape your future if you want to. You can do it by taking the right actions today. You can change your future by paying attention to the things that you are doing now. Don’t waste your time with negative, unproductive people. They will ruin your life for you.

If you don’t plan for tomorrow, you will not have tomorrow. If you don’t plant the right seeds today, you will not reap the right fruits tomorrow.

You can do it. You are the only one who can make your life better. Start small. Take baby steps. Do one thing at a time. Meet with the people who can change your life, and stay away from those who can’t.

Don’t wait for the perfect time. According to Arthur Ashe, “Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.”
