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.  

Pride is manifested in ego. 

When the ego wins, learning stops. 

Truth is found with humility. 

Obstacles and challenges are overcome with truth. 

Pride and ego prevent us from fulfilling our potential. 

Life is full of lessons and humbling moments. 

The more discipline you show, 

the less you will disciplined by others. 

Don’t let the passion of others fool you into ignoring their ignorance. 

Nothing is more important than being grateful and enjoying the present moment, the here, the now, your life, your gift.

Worry never helps.

Preparation always does.

Anxiety and regret never help.

Hard work and effort always help. 

What is wrong for us, we will never be right. What is wrong for us, will never stay with us. We often get stuck chasing what is wrong, even though we deep down can only want what is right. Yet, the idea of something is so strong, that we ignore what we actually want. Choosing to accept what is right is the first step to getting what we really want. 

Peace of mind is only truly achieved through freedom. 

Freedom from oppression. 

Freedom from worry. 

Freedom from sin. 

Freedom is only gained by acting on truth with courage.
