Although there is no progress without change, not all change is progress.
Without proper self-evaluation, failure is inevitable.
Pray for guidance and give thanks for your blessings everyday.
Make each day a masterpiece. Don't think your best days are out there somewhere. Why not today? Why can't today be a great day? It can if you believe it will.
As long as you try your best, you are never a failure. That is, unless you blame others.
Consider the rights of others before your own feelings, and the feelings of others before your own rights.
