I Believe in you

Do you ever wonder what your life is going to be like in 1 year; 5 years; 10 years; 20 years; longer? Of course you do. Everyone does.
Let me clue you into a secret that will impact your entire life if you'll let it. Your life will be whatever you decide to make it.
You've got a choice to make. Today. And every other day of your life.
Let me clue you into another secret of life. Where you are in your life today is a direct consequence of every decision you have ever made.
Ouch. I know. It was pretty tough on me when I had to face this truth. I didn't like some of what I saw - other things I felt pretty good about. I figure we might as well get this out of the way right at the beginning. I have discovered it is best to face the reality of where you are starting from before you begin a journey. It's the only way you can know how far you have to go - or how far you have come.
So go ahead. take a few minutes (or longer) to think about these two secrets. You may discover the same kind of freedom I did. While it was tough to accept that I am ultimately responsible for whatever the condition of my life is right now - there is also incredible freedom in knowing I have the power to make it anything I want it to be. Wow!
I get so tired of people complaining about their lives. Complaining they can't do certain things because they're just not smart enough. Complaining they will never excel in anything because they just don't have the talent others do. Complaining they will never make much money because no one else they know does. It goes on and on.
I hear it all the time. People selling themselves short because they simply don't believe life will be exciting for them - they don't believe their dreams will ever come true. As long as they believe that - it will be true for them.
Okay. did you hear that? This is another secret of life. If they believe it, it will be true for them. I didn't say it was true. I simply said it was true for them because they have decided to believe it. That MAKES it true for them. Too bad!
Especially because the opposite is equally true. If you choose to believe in your ability to excel; to succeed; to make your dreams come true - then you will. Your decision to believe it makes it TRUE FOR YOU!
I realize you probably are thinking I'm a little wacko right now. That's okay.
Today is a day you can use to change your life. Change the way you think about things.
Decide to believe your entire life is going to be an exciting adventure. Decide to believe you will be a success. Decide to believe today is going to be better than yesterday.
Decide and it will be TRUE FOR YOU
