I BELIEVE I CAN FLY

Sometimes success is found through the things that you don’t do. Here are some

ideas for what we shouldn’t do:

DON’T SAY I CAN’T:

There are two words that I don’t allow in my household – I can’t. The fact is

that most of what we say that we can’t do can actually be done, if only we put

our mind to it. My mother taught me from an early age that if something else

had already done it, I could too. And if no one else had already done it, I

could certainly be the first. Good advice!

DON’T GIVE UP:

If you are going to achieve anything in life, you are going to get knocked down

along the way. Those who succeed are those who get back up and forge ahead. My

eldest child is in gymnastics and I am convinced that more often than not,

success lies on the other side of the river hardship. Determination, and a

don’t give up attitude will see us through the hard times and on to victory!

DON’T GET DISCOURAGED:

Discouragement is an attitude. Instead of going to the depths of the dumps, tell

your self you are going to do great. Choose to be courageous. One of the

greatest powers we have been given as humans is the ability to choose our

attitude. All people experience hard circumstances. Yet some say to themselves

that they will learn from them and forge ahead a better person.

DON’T BE A LONE RANGER:

Anybody who has achieved greatness has done it with the help of many others who

bought into the vision and pushed the cart. The most famous and accomplished

achievers in the world all had a cast of others who helped them along. If the

great need others, then so do we. The sooner we realize that we need others,

the quicker we will achieve our dreams.

DON’T ACCEPT ANYTHING LESS THAN EXCELLENCE:

Good gets along, excellence succeeds. Have you ever heard anyone say of the

greats ‘Yeah, they were pretty good.’ They were excellent! We should never,

under any circumstances, accept less than excellence. We should constantly be

striving to better ourselves, our situations, our relationship, and the people

around us, helping them to become excellent.

TAMASO MA JYOTIRGAMAYA…..

The way to God is the way to surrender. It is the way of leaving everything to

Lord. It is the way of letting go, letting God! Then you are anxious about

nothing… not even your spiritual progress. You are naught. God alone is!

The all-new My – What will yours do?
