Fantasy like thought that no man could rainJust let her reignRun wild with her unafraidOf any rain stormsThey only wash the mud away and make wayFor double rainbows and sunny days

All systems of the society are meant to serve the mind, not the mind to serve the systems.

We draw into our life those who will help us to grow. Naturally, we tend to have mixed feelings about those very people but they are marked for us. We have forgotten that we wrote them an invitation some time ago. We look at them as if they are intruders when all along they are our guests.
~ Donna Goddard
Regardless of where you started, there is always the next level. You need to keep leveling up your skills.

A comfortable and easy life leaves no room for growth. We must therefore embrace our hardships and the lessons they bring.
~ Peprah Boasiako
Ultimately, it’s about determining what matters most to you; what’s important; what it will take to achieve your intended goal. And once you’ve identified these key components to growth, shed the excess; do away with the unnecessary.
~ Carlos Wallace
Don’t feel bad about feeling bad. Don’t be frightened of feeling afraid. Don’t be angry about getting angry. There is no need to give up when we are feeling depressed. Nor should we be dismayed at the grief which often accompanies the outgrowing of anything which needs outgrowing. We can be glad that our soul is speaking to us and pushing us onwards. We frequently need to persevere with a period of inner turmoil before the dust can settle and be swept out the door.
Affirm yourself every day (especially after every setback) because no one else will do it for you.
Develop a vocabulary of uplifting and empowering words for times of uncertainty and upheaval.
Focus on the future and the outcomes you want, not your present setbacks or failures.
Loosing is part of winning. You will have to walk through the shadow of failure to get to he winning side.
Your beliefs frame your thoughts and actions. If you change your beliefs, you change your reality.
You can change your perspective on any experience by given it a positive and empowering meaning.
Through reframing, you can eliminate all limiting experiences from your life.
The outcomes in your life will depend on the quality of the frames you use to evaluate the events, the choices you make, and your decision not to be affected negatively by any events that occur.
It’s not what happens, it’s what you do that makes the difference to how things turn out. Change your perspective in the way that serves you best.
Focus is central to everything you do, and where your focus goes, energy flows
Focus means exercising the self-discipline required to keep your time, energy and attention directed towards the outcomes you have chosen whilst avoiding all distractions – good or bad.
The path to success lies in finding something you have a passion for, care deeply about, and are willing to apply all of your energy and focus to.
Success rarely occurs until a desire is turned into a passion and all focus and energy is channelled in its path.
There are many good things in the world, but not all of them benefit you. Focus keeps you on the path of what is right and away from other options.
To succeed, you have to say ‘no’ more often than you say ‘yes’. This is easier when you have a definite purpose or clarity on the desired outcome.
All worthwhile endeavours begin in your thoughts, and focusing your thoughts appropriately will increase your chances of success.
If you can stay focused on your most important goal, you can become incredibly successful, but to stay focused you must intentionally create and maintain an environment, atmosphere, and culture that keeps you focused.
When we think of success, we often associate those who are successful with the things they do rather than the things they don’t, and focus is found in the latter.
To develop stronger focus, develop a greater reason or meaning for your goal.
You will fall short of achieving your goals if your focus is fragmented and your attention, energy, and concentration diversified.
Every day comes with a host of opportunities but also distractions. You need to develop good judgement in the decisions and choices you make.
Focus comes from a promise of the future, and therefore the strength and longevity of your focus will seldom exceed the strength of your purpose, vision, dreams or goal.
Failure results from broken focus, and an average person with complete unwavering focus can achieve more than a team of geniuses with broken focus.
What you see and what you focus on has a profound impact on your behaviour.
Focus determines your feelings, which in turn influence your behaviour, actions and your destiny.
Focus is where you fail or succeed.
