INSPIRATION

Every Winner has Scars...

Your life is a series of experiences, some good, some bad.

Each experience makes you bigger and stronger, even though it's often hard for you to realize it.

Learn quickly that the setbacks and grief which you endure actually help you in your march forward.

This world was built to develop your character.

Stay in the midst of activity and life. Don't isolate yourself.

Be among people and things, among troubles, difficulties and obstacles.

Your character develops itself in the stream of life.

Your life is a classroom where you're continuously tested, tried, and passed.

You're expected to make measurable progress in reasonable amounts of time.

That's why those third grade chairs were made so small.

Today...

I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the clock strikes midnight. I have responsibilities to fulfill today. I am important. My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have.

Today, I can complain because the weather is rainy or I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free.

Today, I can feel sad that I don't have more money, or I can be glad that my finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away from waste.

Today, I can grumble about my health, or I can rejoice that I am alive.

Today, I can lament over all that my parents didn't give me when I was growing up, or I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born.

Today, I can cry because roses have thorns, or I can celebrate that thorns have roses.

Today, I can mourn my lack of friends, or I can excitedly embark upon a quest to discover new relationships.

Today, I can whine because I have to go to work, or I can shout for joy because I have a job to do.

Today, I can complain because I have to go to school, or eagerly open my mind and fill it with rich new tidbits of knowledge.

Today, I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do housework or I can feel honored because I've been provided shelter for my mind and body.

Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped. And here I am, the sculptor who gets to do the shaping.

What today will be like is up to me. I get to choose what kind of day I will have.

Have a great day...unless you have other plans...
