The result will come when we put our energy and effort into "what we are doing" and not "what we want to do". Take care of what you have control of RIGHT NOW and the result will follow. And if not, it is all part of the process. "Hold the Vision. Drop the excuses. Remember your why. Swerve around obstacles. Trust the process. Happiness and success will find you." - Karen Salmansohn

"Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting."
We focus too much on results. Results are good and they often motivate us but when we only focus only on the outcome, it loses it's motivative ability. Working hard and the feeling we get from working hard should be motivating. Remaining dedicated should be motivating. Learning more and getting better should be motivating. Our goals should be these things and not what comes from these things. I have no idols. I admire work, dedication and competence. Ayrton Senna
We have all made choices that we wish we could have a "do over". Those choices have been made. They are in the past. More choices face us today and tomorrow. We have the opportunity to make better choices moving forward. "Your life is a result of the choices you have made. If you don't like your life, start making better choices." Zig Ziglar
What is your Return On Investment when it pertains to how you live each day. When you seek comfort, the return will be temporary comfort but long term discomfort. When we seek discomfort, that discomfort may hurt for a short period of time, but will be paid off with comfort by achieving our goals and the benefits that come with that success. "The more you seek the uncomfortable, the more you will become comfortable." Conor McGregor
"Failure should be synonymous with learning; it is a beginning not an end" Peggy Sullivan. When we fail, it should be a moment in time that causes us to stop and rethink what and how and why we are doing something so that we increase the probability for success the next time. "The only way to truly succeed is to embrace failure."
"The greatest predictor of success is grit." Angela Duckworth Life is hard. Life is not easy. We make life harder on ourselves when we think that life is easy. When we wake up every day with an attitude of "attacking the day", we are more likely going to push against the challenges that face us instead of being smothered by them as they pile up on our heads. "We need to stop telling people that they're special and start encouraging them to work harder." Angela Duckworth
Anxiety is defined as a "perceived threat" or a "sense of unease that MAY occur. Anxiety and worry are thoughts but not actually real incidents. We are anxious and worry because we THINK something may happen that we do not want to happen. It ISN'T something that has already happened and it isn't something happening to us now. We can choose to control our anxiety and focus on the HERE AND NOW and then the future will be positively impacted by our current actions.
“I’ve had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened.” Mark Twain
We are not victims but victors. We are not pawns in a game of chess. We are not characters in a video game being controlled by someone with a joystick. We can't control everything but we can control how we respond to anything that happens to us. That response is often with action, but that response ALWAYS starts with our mind and the attitude and choice to respond. "When you can't control what's happening, challenge yourself to control the way you respond to what's happening. That's where your power is." Unknown
