You can't connect the dots looking forward
You can only connect them looking
backwards
So you have to trust that the dots will
somehow connect in your future
You have to trust in something
your gut, destiny, life, karma whatever
because believing that the dots will
connect down the road
will give you the confidence to follow
your heart
even when it leads you off
the well-worn path
and that will make
all the difference.
Your time is limited. So don't
waste it living someone else's life
don't be trapped by dogma
Which is living with the results of other people's thinking,
Don't let the noise of others opinions
drown out your own inner voice
you've got to find what you love.
and that is as true for work as it is for your lovers.
your work is gonna fill a large part of your life
and the only way to be truly satisfied
is to do what you believe is great work
And the only way to do great work
is to love what you do.
If you haven't found it yet
keep looking
and don't settle.
Have the courage to follow your heart
and intuition
They somehow already know
what you truly want to become.
that you're gonna to have some ups and
you're gonna have some downs.
Most people give up on themselves easily
You know the human spirit is powerful?
There's nothing as powerful -
it's hard to kill the human spirit!
Anybody can feel good when they have
their heath, their bills are paid.
they have happy relationships
Anybody could be positive then
Anybody can have a large vision then
Anybody can have faith under those
kinds of circumstances.
The real challenge of growth
mentally, emotionally, and spiritually
comes when you get knocked down.
It takes courage to act.
Part of being hungry
when you have been defeated.
It takes courage...
to start over again.
Fear kills dreams.
Fear kills hope.
Fear... put people in the hospital.
Fear can age you
can hold you back from doing something
that you know within yourself
that you are capable of doing,
but it will paralyze you.
At the end of your feelings
is nothing,
but at the end of every principle is a promise.
Behind your little feelings,
it might not be absolutely nothing
at the end of your little feelings
but behind every principle is a promise
and some of you in your life
the reason why you are not at your goal right now
because you're just all about your feelings
all on your feelings
you don't feel like you are waking up so
who does?
everyday you say no to your dreams
you might be pushing your dreams back a whole six months
a whole year, that one single day,
that one day you didn't get up
could've pushed your stuff back, I don't know how long
don't allow your emotions to control you
we are emotional,
but you wanna begin
to discipline your emotion
if you don't discipline and contain your emotions
they will use you
YOU WANT IT
and you're gonna go all out to have it
it's not going to be easy when you want to change
it's not easy, but if it were infact easy everybody would do it
but if you're serious, you'll go all out
I'm in control here
I'm not gonna let this get me down
I'm not gonna let this destroy me
I'm coming back
and I'll be stronger and better because of it
you have got to make a declaration
that this is what you stand for
you're standing up for your dreams
you're standing up for peace of mind
you're standing up for health
take full responsibility for your life
accept where you are
and the responsibility that you're
going to take yourself
where you want to go
you can decide that I'm going to live
each day as if it were my last
live your life with passion,
with some drive
decide that you're going to push yourself
the last chapter to your life
has not been written yet
and it doesn't matter about what happened yesterday
doesn't matter about what happens to you
what matters is
what are you going to do about it
this year I will make this goal become a reality
I won't talk about it anymore
I CAN
I CAN
I CAN
to persevere
I think it's important for everybody
DON'T GIVE UP, DON'T GIVE IN
there's always an answer to everything.
