“People with goals succeed because they know where they are going.” ~ Earl Nightingale

Write the vision. Make it plain. And follow through.

Success is not an accident. It happens one step, one day, and one goal at a time.

“The language that you use to speak about yourself is as important as the food you put in your body.” ~ Anonymous

What we think about matters. What we speak matters even more.

Your words have power.

They build up. They tear down. They promote. They demote. They motivate. They deflate. They are the yang. They are also the yin.

Your words must be purposeful, intentional, and inspirational.

We are what we think. We are what we speak.

Challenges are not automatic failures. They are opportunities.

As you reflect on the this past year, remember the triumphs, remember the defeat. Embrace the journey and know that each moment, good or bad, has shaped you, prepared you, and equipped you for today and many tomorrows.

“Keep going, even when you feel like you can’t take another step.“ ~ Anonymous

Don’t worry about tomorrow’s challenges. You have enough strength for today.

You just need to tap into it.

“Sometimes when things are falling apart, they may actually be falling into place.” ~ Anonymous

The race is hardest in the final stretch. The mountain is steepest as you climb higher. The load is heaviest the closer you are to your destination. The journey is most difficult as you near the end of it.

Trust the process.

“Be anything but predictable.” ~ Anonymous

It takes courage and determination to stand up, stand tall, and stand out.

Be a difference maker.

“Eliminate the mindset of can’t —because you can do anything.” – Toni Horton

Everything begins in the mind.

Success begins in the mind. Defeat begins in the mind. Change begins in the mind. Staying the same begins in the mind. Hope begins in the mind. Despair begins in the mind. Faith begins in the mind. Doubt begins in the mind.

A better present, and an even better future, begins in the mind. You can either think for a change or think for the same.

Nothing is impossible to those who believes (Mark 9:23).

“The task ahead of you is never greater than the strength within you. “ ~ Anonymous

You are never ill-equipped for the challenges in life. As you clear the hurdles in your path, remind yourself that you are moving from strength to strength.

“I am the greatest. I said that even before I knew I was. “ ~ Muhammad Ali

If you don’t build yourself up, who will? If you don’t speak positivity and life to your dreams, who will?

Your words have power.

Speak them wisely.

“Pull over to the side of your journey and look how far you’ve come. “ ~ Anonymous

We are often too consumed with how far we have to go, instead of focusing on how far we’ve come.

Celebrate your success. No matter how small. Celebrate each step. Every. Tiny. Victory.
