Change is the Law of Life

“Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future” by John F. Kennedy. 

If you concentrate on your past, you will get stuck. If you think only about present, you will be going in circles, because after the day is over you have new present. Life is never on the same spot. It keeps on moving just like time. You have to be changing, adapting and moving forward too. When you find things that do not work in your life you need to continue searching what new things you have to change the old ones with. Just do not stop and do not get stuck. Keep on looking forward!

Failure Is the Source of Success

“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm” by Winston Churchill. 

I remember reading a book that was called “Failure – the womb of success”. Most of us are not geniuses who can achieve things easily. It takes pain and a lot of failed projects before we create something really valuable. The person who created a light bulb failed around ten thousand times before he got it. However, he did not look at the thing as failure, but he took it as a lesson how not to do something. So, you may miss thousands of time in life, but if you don’t give up you are going to succeed in the end.

Gratitude Creates Abundance

“Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough” by Oprah Winfrey. 

There is a tremendous spiritual law. It might be described in these words: whatever you concentrate on, that thing increases. If that is some failure you always think on, there will be more of that. If that is a disease, you will feel more symptoms and pain. On the other hand, you can concentrate on something positive. Think about good things you have experienced in your life and be grateful to God for those. You will see multiplication of that. Then keep on being grateful. Abundance will be result of such kind of focus and gratitude.

Design Your Own Life

“If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much” by Jim Rohn. 

If you have no plans for your life, do not wander that you are flowing with the crowd or following somebody else’s plan for you. I think we go nowhere, because we do not know who we are and what we want. You need to find out who you are before you can develop some strategy for your life. Ask this question and find an honest answer. Then, you can move where you want, not where others direct you. You will also find out that this kind of lifestyle satisfies you more than being manipulated by somebody else.

Being Miserable or Motivated

“Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice” by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer. 

A lot of circumstances can make you upset. When you find yourself in the midst of them you have two choices: stay unhappy or inspire yourself to go forward. It is your choice! A lot of people find themselves in very similar situations, yet some choose to complain, feel sorry for themselves and be angry against God and others decide to find something positive about those situations and encourage themselves to move forward, because they believe that any cloud has a silver lining.

True Source of Strength

„Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength“ by Arnold Schwarzenegger. 

Do you become strong when you win or you win when you become strong? It’s like, which was first, the egg or the hen. Well, winning might increase your inner power and reestablish your self confidence and self esteem, but before you succeed you need to make a decision not to surrender in difficult times. Who is not struggling or suffering these days? Everybody does to some extent. It is your decision and attitude towards hardships that makes you strong or weak!
