Words I Live By

Imagine success
If you're going to dream, dream big. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't or won't or shouldn't. Picture the you that you want to become. Envision the world that you wish to live in. Talent and drive will get you nowhere if you have not mentally rehearsed your success.

Persist
Think about what you want out of this life- give up your time and your peace and your sleep for it. Do not allow anything to hinder you.

Recognize your potential
There is stunning clarity in realizing the vastness of your potential. Every individual has the potential to manifest brilliance; to make a mark that is anything but disputable on the world.

Be your own best friend
Wherever life brings you, you will have the comfort and company of the person you know best. Get to know yourself; becoming certain of who you are only makes you stronger.

Read
Reading makes you smart. I'm not joking. Not only will you gain a vocabulary, you will open your imagination to a place where things are infinitely possible. "If you believe what you read in literature, you can…believe anything."

Change is not a choice
It is inevitable.

Tomorrow is another day
Tomorrow is always a new beginning. It is a fresh start, another chance. New mornings, new ideas, another sunrise.

Think
Isn't the point of an education to learn to think for yourself? Do not believe everything you see, do not listen to everything you hear. Form your own ideas and your own opinions. Use the organ between your ears to decide things for yourself. "Rule your mind or it will rule you."

Be courageous
Courage=freedom. If you are courageous, brave enough to believe completely in yourself, nothing can break you. And you will find yourself free to be you and to do you however you choose.

Living for the moment might be the meaning of life
Every day that you take for granted, you are losing something you can never get back. Who knows what that day could have given you? Who knows what you could have given that day?
