Growing Up Hurts

2 Comments 23 June 2011

Trying to grow up is hurting, you know. You make mistakes. You try to learn from them, and when you don’t, it hurts even more. ~ Aretha Franklin

It’s what you learn after you know it all that counts. Learning from mistakes is what defines our character. Sticking to our values that make each of us amazing and unique will be what helps us learn from our mistakes – in our own way.

Get busy living or get busy dying. The one absolute in life is that we will all die at some point. It’s what we choose to do with our time on this earth that will determine what legacy we leave behind, who we touched, who will remember us and what impact we left on the world. I like to think that even if I inspired one person to be better, then my life will have been worth it. But why stop there? Why not inspired hundreds, thousands, or even millions? That ability exists in each and every one of us.

Will you choose to define your life or let your life define you?

Why I Succeed – by Michael Jordan

No Comments 12 May 2011

I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career.
I’ve lost almost 300 games.
26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed.
I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life.
And that is why I succeed.
