You were born with potential.
You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness.

You have wings.
Learn to use them and fly.
― Jalaluddin Rumi
I truly believe each of us has a purpose in this life. And each of us has the potential to do good in this world and make a difference. Whether or not you realize that potential is completely dependent upon the choices you make. You must find the courage and inner strength to take that leap of faith when the time comes. And never forget that in order to fly, you must be courageous enough to let go of the branch.

“There comes a time in your life when you have to choose to turn the page, write another book or simply close it.”
― Shannon L. Alder
In life, sometimes you have to let go of friendships, relationships and jobs in order to move forward along your path. It is important to continually evaluate where you are in your life journey and acknowledge what’s holding you back. Let go of negativity and toxicity in your life. Remember that there will always come a time in your life when you must let go and turn the page in the story of your life.
“When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal.”
― Napoleon Hill
Defeat does not mean game over. It doesn’t mean it’s time to throw in the towel and give up your dream. Defeat only means that your plans weren’t sound and so you need to go back to the drawing board, regroup and rebuild those plans. And then go after your goals once more with a firmer set of plans meant to survive the roughest weather.
“Do not lose hope — what you seek will be found. Trust ghosts. Trust those that you have helped to help you in their turn. Trust dreams. Trust your heart, and trust your story.”
― Neil Gaiman
To lose hope is to cease really living. You must never give in, never stop dreaming and never stop believing in infinite possibilities. And at the end of the day, trust in yourself and live your story.
“You’re not obligated to win. You’re obligated to keep trying. To the best you can do everyday.”
― Jason Mraz
There will be many times in life when you come up short. You will inevitably lose more battles than you will win. That’s just life. But the key is no matter how many times you fall, you must get back up and try, try, try again. Because life isn’t about how many times you fall; rather, life is about how many times you find the strength to stand back up and continue to fight for what sets your soul on fire.
“Life gives us choices. You either grab on with both hands and just go for it, or you sit on the sidelines.”
― Christine Feehan
Life is an all or nothing kind of thing. It’s not something you can do halfway. Either commit fully, which means accepting the highs with the lows, or let life pass you by. The choice is yours.
