2. When faced with unexpected
obstacles it’s easy to shut
down or fall into the trap of
negativity; preventing you
from moving forward and
blinding you to opportunities
for growth.
The perspective of those who
have had similar experiences
can help awaken you to
possibilities, replace
negativity and lift the spirit
just when you need it most.

3. When you can acknowledge the less than perfect parts of
yourself, something MAGICAL begins to happen. Along
with the negative, you’ll also begin to notice the
POSITIVE, the wonderful aspects that you may not have
given yourself credit for, or perhaps even been aware of.

4. You are here for a purpose and that purpose
is to grow into a MOUNTAIN, not to
shrink to a grain of sand. To become the
person you are meant to be commit now to
apply ALL your efforts to become the
highest mountain of all and strain your
POTENTIAL until it cries for mercy!

5. Of course you
always have a choice.
You can accept an
attitude of helplessness and
fear or one of courage and
determination …
be the victim or the victor.
You can choose to accept
whatever fate allows or you
can stand up to life on
your own terms!
Choices Create
Ripple Effects

6. Whatever your philosophy may be it will not be reflected
in your words but rather expressed in the choices you make.
In the long run we shape our own lives and the choices we
make each day are responsible for the
length and quality of that journey.

7. You will encounter obstacles
along the way, but you
must not be defeated. In
fact, it may be necessary to
encounter obstacles so you
can begin to fully appreciate
who you are, find courage
in the knowledge of what you
can rise above, and gain
strength from your ability to
overcome defeat.

8. Regardless of where
your journey has led you
up to this point, in order
to live your best life you
will have to let go of
what might have been
and accept that you can’t
change the past. When
you recognize that reality
then you will understand
the true meaning of
letting go
and you will finally
be free.

9. Change will always been
a fearful thing for most
people. But if you can
open yourself to the
opportunities, there will
come a day when you realize
that turning the page is the
best feeling in the world,
because you’ll discover there
is so much more to the book
than the page you were
stuck on.
Learn to Embrace
Change as Renewal

10. DON’T STOP!
You never know what will
be around the next corner. It
could be everything. Or it
could be nothing. Keep
putting one foot in front of
the other, and then one day
you will look back
and discover you've
climbed a mountain!

11. The marvelous richness of human experience would lose
something of the JOY if there were no limitations
to overcome. The view from the mountain top would not be
half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse.

12. Take the power to choose
what your want to do and
do it well. Take the power
to love what you want in
life and love it honestly.
Take the power to walk
in the forest and be a part
of nature. Take the power
to control your own life. No
one else can do it for you.
Take the power to
make your life happy.
This Life is Yours
