Take the Setbacks in Stride!

Life is full of setbacks, some major and some small, but when we’re faced with these setbacks our attitude and the choices we make are important. We can choose to feel discouraged or be grateful for the opportunity to learn from the setbacks. Regardless of your accomplishments, be proud of your efforts, take the setbacks in stride and be grateful for the experience. According to Henry Ford, “Life is a series of experiences, each of which makes us bigger, even though it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward.”  Allowing your character to develop through setbacks will ensure your personal growth. Staying focus will enable you to move closer towards accomplishing the success you’re destined for!

The Value of Commitment!

Commitment requires that you give priority to a lot of things other than yourself. It doesn’t require that you lose yourself entirely, only that you temper your more selfish and petty urges and challenge yourself to rise above them. Commitment has the power to help you grow and be a better person. Sometimes an opportunity is handed to you and you lose out when you focus on yourself and not on the commitment. What are you committed to?
