Emotional strength is simple: it is getting beat and trying again. 

The best way to improve your life is to help improve the lives of those around you, of those who depend on you, and of those who trust you. 

 

Wounds are not weakness. 

Wounds are not a sign of weakness. 

Wounds are evidence of strength and healing. 

If you resist the bad, 

then you must do good,

or the resistance is in vain. 

The more prepared you are, the less you will panic. 

Preparation builds confidence. 

Doing builds confidence. 

Panic is when you feel things are out of you control. 

Preparation brings feelings of accountability and control. 

A life must be filled. 

Without purpose, something else will replace it to fill our lives. 

Without purpose, the replacement is usually entertainment, distraction, and pleasure. 

Purpose can be anything we choose, while entertainment is often chosen by others. 

Your purpose is what makes you feel full. 

 

 

Happy Birthday, EVA! Love you! 

Playing and feeling like a victim allows you to proclaim evil in others while preserving your ego.

People claim hostility when they don’t achieve what others do.

People claim discrimination when others do better than them.

Those claims are false,

yet they are believed.

The truth is found in responsibility, mindset, and love for others.

Some people do what they are supposed to do based on how they feel, 

others just do what they are supposed to do. 

If you are willing to do all the work. 

If you are consistently focused. 

If you are truly committed. 

You will find success where others have failed. 

You will be great around everyone else who is mediocre.

If the only thing we ever do, is the best we can, then that is enough.
