If you have never failed at anything, then you have never reached for a big enough goal. If you only choose goals that are safe, familiar and right, you will never stretch far enough to know who you really can become or what you are capable of doing.

To do something different, you will need to be someone different. Decide to leave your safety zone. Move beyond fear of failure to the possibility of authentically and consistently living your truth and creating a bigger life. You have something special. You have GREATNESS within you!

You are in the middle of a miracle. Stand still. Do not panic. Keep the faith. Continue to work your plan. Stay focused with a determined vision. Dig in and resolve to yourself...It is not over...until I win!!!

Count your blessings. Gratitude is the fuel of resiliency. Train your mind to think of at least one thing for which you are thankful everyday. It is often easy to overlook the small but significant blessings in your life. Look for positive things outside of yourself, because sometimes you can not trust your mind.

When you choose to look at the positives instead of focusing on the negatives, you strengthen your courage and your internal capacity to take on life. Look yourself in the eye and realize that you are ultimately responsible for working your way out of this situation. Give up the desire for things to be easy and deal with circumstances such as you find them. Know that you have the power to live a meaningful and happy life. You have GREATNESS within you!

Commit to be a powerful force for good and a positive agent of change in the world. Nurture your life with beauty, pleasure, enjoyment and inspiration. Explore new interests and ways to become a more interesting person. Expand your capacity to dream, believe, create.

Learn to say no, no way, and no thank-you to requests which rob you of your time, and the ability to choose a more expansive future for yourself. Live fully from the center of your own life. Get out of your own way by refusing to replay a past that you can not relive or change, or a future that you can not see or control. Stay present. Decide to create a life that you love! You deserve to be happy and enjoy your life. You have something special. You have GREATNESS within you

Live life as a giver ~ not a taker. Serve the needs of others by giving of your time, energy, resources and skills to encourage, enrich, educate, or enlighten their path. Step outside yourself and your own circle of comfort.

Actively look for ways to reach out and meet the needs of others. Your own life force and abilities will enlarge when you serve. Service opens your heart, deepens your feelings of compassion and connectedness, increases your ability to love generously and strengthens your resolve to live from a place of GREATNESS!!

Love. It is crucial. If you are fortunate, you get to do what you love for a living. If this is not the case for you right now, find a few moments in your day to do what you love. Too often we prioritize money above all else. We spend countless hours in unfulfilling positions, fortify relationships with folks we would never have as friends, and neglect ourselves, our families and friends to make the almighty dollar.

While supporting oneself is a reality of life, do your best to maintain your authenticity. Be proud of your work. Take part in projects that provide value to others as well as yourself. Remember that you are not defined by your spending ability. Life is more than big homes, fast cars, expensive clothes. Those who truly love you will not care if you have five million or five hundred dollars. They want you to be happy - and you will be, if you make time for who and what you love.
