Different is always linked to effort.
I can become who I want to be if I’m willing to do the work.
I can change my situation.
I choose my reaction.
I choose to be happy and keep on working toward my dream.

I have to take responsibility for my life.
No matter what happened, I’m in charge of my response. I’m in charge of what I do or do not.
I will stop whining about the past. It’s done, I can’t change the past. I need to move on and do what I want to change the present.
I take responsibility for my present.
I can if I Believe.
I need the power of my belief to push me foward.

“Don’t worry, be happy.” – Bobby McFerrin
Life can be hard.
I also know and understand that I can choose how I will respond.
Yes, we all have to take a moment to face the reality. But we don’t have to stay idle in despair.
Things can be better if we do our best on a daily basis.
Smile.

Why do we think that there’s always an easy way?
Why do we look for the easy way?
Because someone else has build that idea in us.
When I face the difficult time with a smile on my face, that’s when I know that I’m doing my best.
My best always needs some effort. I can’t be at my best when I’m going for the easy way.
I choose to smile because I know that my effort will pay.
I know that I’m doing my best.
I smile to life because I’m happy to get up and do the best I can.
Everyone deserves good fortune. But a lot of us just don’t let it comes into their lives because they don’t think they deserved it.
“The less we deserve good fortune, the more we hope for it.”
– Lucius Annaeus Seneca
On the other side, people who are experiencing good fortune have to share it with others.
“I believe that we all have a responsibility to give back. No one becomes successful without lots of hard work, support from others, and a little luck. Giving back creates a virtuous cycle that makes everyone more successful.”
– Ron Conway
Be happy for the good fortune that comes to others. As we are all connected, it’s coming to you also.
We should not hope or expect good fortune. It’s a part of life and shall come to you in some way.
The fountain of youth is in continuing to learn. Without other purposes than to grow and do better things.
“Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.”
– Henry Ford
You are as old as you choose to be. Choose to be young.
A mind with an interest in knowledge is a mind that stays young.
“Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and diligence.”
– Abigail Adams
Choose to stay young. Develop your interest in learning.
There’s never too late to be kind.
Kindness cost nothing.
If someone is hard with you, be kind.
If someone is lying to you, be kind.
If someone has gossiped about you, be kind.
Kindness will always come on top.
Don’t be blind and stupid. When you know someone is bad for you, stop moving toward them.
Kindness is not a passive action. It’s an active energy that is working toward building a better world.
People who can appreciate your kindness will come to you.
We all want to be happy.
We have been misled to believe that things are linked to happiness.
Things cannot make you happy. It’s an illusion.
« The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things. »
– Henry Ward Beecher
Happiness is a choice. The simple choice of choosing to be happy.
Nothing outside of you can make you really happy.
You are the only one that has the power over your happiness.
Who are we to judge?
Why do we think that we have the right to judge?
“Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers.”
– Voltaire
We don’t have the right to judge someone else. We do it anyway.
Even if we have a lot of details about what happened, we still don’t have the right to judge.
When you judge, it implies that you place yourself higher than that person.
We’re living in a world of “How to”.
People are looking for fast way to solve their problem. Thinking that reading a 10 step is enough to solve anything.
Reading about how to solve a problem is good. But it’s only a step in the right direction, you’ll still need to do lots of work about it.
Stop expecting someone else to solve your problem.
“We always hope for the easy fix: the one simple change that will erase a problem in a stroke. But few things in life work this way. Instead, success requires making a hundred small steps go right – one after the other, no slipups, no goofs, everyone pitching in.”
– Atul Gawande
Problem are created by us. We create them to face the need for change.
“You don’t have a problem; you only think you do.”
– Dr. Wayne Dyer
If you focus on solving the problem, there will be options offered to you. It’s up to you to choose what you want to do. And take action about it.
“I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail.”
– Abraham H. Maslow
If you only have a hammer and it doesn’t work, this would be a great time to find new tools.
This one of my favorite quote by Albert Einstein.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them”
– Albert Einstein
