Physical strength, speed, and endurance only can take you so far. “Natural ability” and “good genes” are not the traits that make someone a champion. If you truly want to stand out, make a difference, and be remembered, your purpose has to be clear and present in your mind.
Miracles are around us all the time but it seems to be a human tendency to try to look for what we don’t have versus what we do. When we start training ourselves to see all the wonder that exists in the tiniest details in our lives, we very quickly discover a life full of magic and miracles.
When we make comparisons about ourselves to other people, whether they be negative or positive, we are missing out on the most important point. Life is not about being, “as good as,” someone else or looking just like someone else looks. Life is all about the journey each individual takes towards becoming the best person they can be.
Think about all the things you wish you hadn’t put off in the past, then realize today is a day to make your future brighter, more exciting, and better than ever. Every day is a new opportunity to shape a new destiny and a new future.
We all have said that line at one point or another in our life, “I’ll do it tomorrow.” Often times tomorrow becomes the next day, and the next day, and the next day, then never.

Every day is a new opportunity to wake up and decide that today is going to be phenomenal, life changing, or the best day of your life. Far to often people will refer to a time in the past as “the best _____ of my life” thinking that they can never experience something as wonderful ever again.
Nothing in life is a failure as long as you allow the lesson it is meant to teach you to shine through. Each challenge, obstacle, road block, and “failure” is just a lesson in disguise; an opportunity to grow. Don’t ever let your fears keep you from trying something; only through trying and learning from our mistakes will we ever be able to experience the uninhibited joy brought on by true success that is earned and not given.

Many times in our lives it seems like every step we take is met with another road block, another challenge, another set back.
