“One who limits himself to his chosen mode of ignorance.” — Elbert Hubbard

As nice as we would like to be to people, sometimes it’s best to just walk away from them.  If a person is not on your level, but you want to bring them up, and they are committed to staying right where they are, then you may just have to say “farewell” to them.

People don’t really want to change.  If they did, then…

“There is no such thing as a mistake; just a growth experience.” — Penna

Every day of our lives we will face experiences to help us grow.  Even if we are having a wonderful day, there still will be experiences- within that day- to grow.  There is no such thing as a mistake.  Why?  Because there are no coincidences in life.  As, everything happens as it should.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. As, I never took the time to…

If you are willing to change your life, you have to be willing to accept and change every aspect of yourself. Just changing the things about you that are most comfortable to change isn’t really doing the whole job. The traits that are the most difficult to change are the ones that need the most healing.

Today, do your heavy lifting. Just lifting a small 3 pound dumbbell doesn’t do as much work as lifting a 20…

“That’s the risk you take if you change: that people you’ve been involved with won’t like the new you. But other people who do will come along.” — Lisa Alther

At some point in our lives we are going to want to change.  Change who we are as a person, change our circumstances around us, change our occupations, change our friends, and even change our wardrobes.   Life is about constant change.

But, the hardest part about changing…
