All suffering can have proven helpful meaning. Don’t seek unnecessary suffering, but embrace it when it comes. To grow we have to suffer, choose that kind of suffering. Internal suffering is a choice, external suffering is a challenge.    

Most (maybe all) emotions are not logical. But logic can be used to adjust or stimulate our emotions.

A calm mind enables the strength of character. Moral strength helps us make the right decisions. When we are strong in the face of pain, grief, and temptation, we develop and show courage. 

When you truly love yourself,

the events of the outside world matter less,

and the opinions of others don’t matter at all. 

Anxiety is choosing to suffer before the pain is real, thus exponentially increasing the amount of pain and suffering we feel. 

A positive mind is a strong and courageous mind.

It is easy and weak to be negative, fearful, and find excuses. 

The courageous mind is hopeful, full of faith, and takes responsibility. 

The best leaders create the best teams, organizations, and companies.

The best leaders always deliver the best results. 

The more you are committed to your duty, the more your feelings matter less.

 

 

Happy Birthday, MOM! Thank you for your love, dedication, and commitment. 

The most educated, the most morally sound, the most ethically aligned, the most emotionally intelligent, the most faithful, and the most compassionate people all have one thing in common… the more they advance, the less they blame others. 

Decide what you want and who you want to be. 

Determine what it takes to get and be what you want. 

Do those things.
