Getting what we want and desire often requires total adjustment in mindset and behavior.

Our biggest enemy is not always an outside force, a demon, or someone out to get us, rather our biggest enemy is often just the consequences of the choices we have made. 

If you care, you do. 

Actions prove intent, heart, desire, and focus. 

Always.

Friends do not create artificial constraints. 

Friendships do not have time limits or schedules. 

The secret to finding success lies in our ability to exert tremendous effort with enduring patience combined with acting on true principles. 

 

 

There is and will always be doubt. 

The trick is not lot let doubt take control. 

Once that doubt is allowed to affect follow through on decision-making, then that doubt has won control. 

The freedom to choose is what enables us to create contentment. 

Choices are the evidence of freedom. 

A peaceful mind and calm heart are evidence of good choices. 

 

 

Once a path is known to be right,

and a decision has been made,

the unwavering soul,

will accomplish the goal. 

Personal independence is taking the courageous actions of fulfilling your responsibilities. 

Personal independence is anti-excuse, anti-blame, and anti-victimhood. 

True independence has nothing to do with being alone, but rather, it is the process of freeing yourself from control and allowing others to be free around you. 

Self-respect is the action of treating yourself with dignity and honor. It is understanding your self-worth and having the integrity and fortitude to act accordingly.
