YOU HAVE TO CONQUER YOUR EMOTIONS
TO HAVE A STRONG MIND.
YOU CAN ONLY CHANGE WITH A STRONG MIND.
WITH A STRONG MIND, YOU CAN HAVE FAITH WHICH IS COURAGE.
COURAGE IS THE ARMOUR YOU WEAR TO KEEP WALKING… EVEN WHEN YOU CANNOT YET SEE WHERE THE PATH WILL LEAD YOU.

WHAT DOES NOT LIFT YOU UP, DRAGS YOU DOWN.
FIND THE COURAGE
TO LET GO WHAT YOU CANNOT CHANGE.

NEVER ACCEPT THE DEFINITION OF LIFE FROM OTHERS, NOT EVEN FROM ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (A.I.).
IT’S YOUR LIFE, DEFINE IT YOURSELF.
YOU MAY MAKE MISTAKES WHILE CHARTING
YOUR LIFE’S COURSE.
IT DOES TAKE GUTS AND HUMILITY TO
ADMIT MISTAKES.
ADMITTING WHEN WE ARE WRONG IS COURAGE,
NOT A WEAKNESS.

ALWAYS BELIEVE YOU ARE BRAVER THAN YOU BELIEVE.
THAT YOU ARE STRONGER THAN YOU SEEM. AND THAT YOU DO HAVE THE COURAGE TO SEE THINGS THROUGH.
ADD PURPOSE TO THAT COMBINATION, YOU THEN HAVE THE ULTIMATE GLUE THAT CAN HELP YOU STICK TO THE PATH YOU’VE SET.

FUNNY THING IS THAT WHEN YOU CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE, YOU WILL FIND THAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES AROUND YOU OFTEN CHANGE.
BE COURAGEOUS. BE WHO YOU ARE MEANT TO BE.
COURAGE DOESN’T MEAN YOU DON’T GET AFRAID. COURAGE MEANS THAT YOU DON’T LET FEAR STOP YOU FROM FULFILLING YOUR GOALS, YOUR DREAMS, YOUR ASPIRATIONS.

I CAN ACCEPT FAILURE. SURE, EVERYONE FAILS AT SOMETHING.
WHAT I CANNOT ACCEPT IS NOT TRYING.
COURAGE IS IN THE TRYING.
FORTUNE FAVOURS THE BRAVE. ALWAYS.

I am keeping to a promise I made to my daughter, Laura; a few years ago.
I’ve chosen the image below.
Will keep you all posted with pictures in my next post.
SUPPORT YOUR DREAMS UNTIL YOUR DREAMS SUPPORT YOU.
YOU CAN.
YOU HAVE.
YOU WILL.
IT TAKES UNWAVERING COURAGE.
IT TAKES GRIT.
JUST BELIEVE IN YOUSELF.

IT IS NOT THE CRITIC WHO COUNTS, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end of the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
~ THEODORE ROOSEVELT
