There's nothing that says you have to succeed in the same way as someone else. In fact, there's nothing that says you must define success in the same way as someone else.

If you so choose, even the unexpected setbacks can bring new and positive possibilities. If you so choose, you can find value and fulfillment in every circumstance.

You become what you think about most. When you continually focus on the fear of failure, failure will become real for you. Look instead at the possibilities. Look at what could happen if only you would attempt it. Sure, it might not succeed completely. Yet even then you will learn something.

Make the decision to love this day, this place, this moment, this special experience of life with the people around you. And there will be so very much to love.

Be thankful for it all. And beyond your many blessings, will be many, many more.

Success in any endeavor depends on the degree to which it is an expression of your true self.

Accomplishment comes from making positive efforts, even in the face of negative circumstances.
