It Begins with YOU

When you pass away, an autopsy will never reveal your attitudes. They are human qualities that are very personal, very subjective, and controlled entirely by you. Attitude not only determines your final destiny in life, it also determines what kind of journey it will be. The bottom line is that you are where you are in life because of the choices you made. Your job, your income, and your spouse are all a result of your choices. The only things you can't change are your parents, siblings, taxes, and death. Take ownership of yourself and start living life to its fullest. We need to stop rehearsing our excuses and accept total responsibility for ourselves. Life sometimes resembles an iceberg: We only realize maybe 20% of our potential and we shortchange ourselves by 80% of a great life. Our life is so abundant with opportunity, we just don't realize it. When we nurture these attitudes within ourselves we naturally increase our capacity for meeting just about any challenge with energy, optimism, and a positive outlook.

It's sad to see the number of people who surrender their lives to mediocrity. I recently read on a flower shop sign, "Treat each day like a gift, that's why it's called the present." It all begins and ends with YOU: Your Opportunities are Unlimited.
