Everything happens for a reason right? Certainly does!!

Look at truly successful people. Most of them have overcome some sort of hardship, the kind of hardship that would make most people give up. Why is that?

The responsibility to succeed rests solely on you. You can either rise and shine or fall. You and only you are responsible for creating the outcome from life’s disappointments.

You write the words to your story. Does your life happen to you or because of you?

It’s because of you and your prior actionsWe don’t own events or their reasons.

We own what we do with them and how we respond to them

Most of you are so afraid of failure that you spend most of your lives avoiding or running from it. We should be welcoming and embracing it! You will never learn from success. You will never improve when handed everything We grow in times of hardship and in learning from failure and turning it into growth.

Where on the path are you? Where did your journey begin? What decisions were made to land you where you are now? What shortcuts did you take? Did you miss something perhaps? Overlook a crucial part of the process?

Have you looked back and studied your past decisions and how you reacted during tough times and growth or good times?

If you are on top, how did you pave the road to success? What obstacles did you have to overcome? What did it look like during that long journey?

Ultimately, you need to understand that not everything is in your control, nor should it be. You simply can’t control everything that happens to you in life. But you can control how you respond.

There’s an old quote that says life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.

The definition of Luck is where preparation and opportunity meet. You create your own luck. Don’t forget to look for the opportunities.

It’s all about progress and not perfection. Imagine being able to improve any area of your life by just one percent every day. That one percent compounds on itself over time.

This is where you start to take action on writing a new chapter of your own book. Lots of successful people have big goals. These goals can seem overwhelming and you can take small actionable steps each day to reach that goal.

I have a few quotes for you I pulled from online:

“Eventually all things fall into place. Until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moments, and know EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON.”– Albert Schweitzer

Miracles happen every day, change your perception of what a miracle is and you’ll see them all around you. -Jon Bon Jovi

Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen. -Michael Jordan

All powerful statementsCome back to these quotes when you need some inspiration to writing your new chapter

Famous philosopher Aristotle explains it perfectly. In his lifelong journey to know the true meaning of life, he has managed to impart one of the most valuable pieces of wisdom.

For him, there are two constants in life.

One, that the universe is constantly changing. It is always evolving. What it is today is never the same tomorrow.

And second, a thing he calls “entelechy.” (ənˈteləkē) It means, “that which turns potential into reality.”

Aristotle believed that things happen today because they have a purpose later on.

Every choice we make, every outcome that happens from these choices, every person who comes into our lives, and every person who leaves — all of these elements have a reason.

They make us who we are today.

Moving forward, take a step back and think about the message of the situation at hand. Good things may lay ahead for you. It all depends on your outlook, perception and in the end your reaction to what is happening in the moment.
