We Can't Change...

We can't change the past but we can learn from it.  We can't predict the future but can plan for it. We can live in the present and we should embrace it! Just keep on lookin' ahead even if things are hard and stressful right now and not everything is going exactly your way, it will soon enough. Never accept unacceptable behavior, or you make it acceptable. Some people succeed because they are destined to, but most people succeed because they are determined to. Always be prepared, always be yourself, and always be honest. That is a good recipe for self respect, self love and self worth. GOD puts the people you need in your life, not the people you want. They can't pull you down if they can't reach you. When you allow things to bother you, you are giving them power over you. Keep your positive attitude, and keep moving forward- that's where the real power is! What motivates me? The simple fact that GOD believes in me. Life is hard and sometimes kicks our asses, but it's how we react to it when it kicks us that makes us who we are in the end. Life is a struggle but the things that are worth keeping are worth fighting for! I would rather struggle to get everything I have than to let someone give it to me. I never want to hear the words "You wouldn't have that if it wasn't for me!" Right now life seems to be kicking me down and stomping the shit out of my mental, emotional and physical reserves. But giving up now is not an option. The depth of your struggles, will determine the height of your success. The struggle ends when the gratitude begins. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.
