"The butterfly does not look back at the caterpillar in shame, just as you should not look back at your past in shame. Your past was part of your own transformation".

One thing is certain you are not the same today as you were 10 years ago. You may inherently be the same person and stand for the same things but what is important to you now will certainly be different.

Know too that some of your changes will be orchestrated and decided by you. While others will happen because life happens, you cannot predict live altering events like falling in love or losing a loved one and these will change the way you view life. So embrace yourself at each stage and see it as a stepping stone to the next phase.

"Stop overthinking. You can't control everything. Just let it be."

There is no point in worrying yourself to death over something that you cannot change. If you can change it change it, if there is absolutely nothing that you can do then you need to let it go and get on with you life.

"I am in competition with no one. I have no desire to play the game of being better than anyone. I am simply trying to be better than the person I was yesterday".

If you improve by just 1% a day, so today you are better by 1% than yesterday, in just over 3 months you will be 100% improved!!

"At the end of you life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, winning one more verdict or not closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a child, a friend, or a parent". Barbra Bush

Live your life to its maximum. Once time is spent you can never get it back, so use it wisely.

"When you replace "why is this happening to me" with "what is he trying to teach me?" - everything shifts".

One door closes, another opens. Everything happens for a reason, embrace the change with a positive, can do attitude.

"Leadership is not about titles, positions or flowcharts. It is about one life influencing another."

Be the change! Be the bigger person, lead by example. leadership comes in many forms - its not about authority its about people wanting to follow your lead.

Being accountable to ourselves is what helps us achieve our goals. With out holding ourselves accountable we will never attain our goals.

Sometimes the hardest battle is against yourself.....

Decisions.

"We can think about things, turn them over in our minds a million times, play out possible scenarios, but really when it comes down to it, you have to go with your heart and move forward. maybe things will go well. Maybe they'll turn out poorly. Every decision brings with it some good, some bad, some lessons, and some luck. The only thing that's for sure is that indecision steals many years from many people who wind up wishing they'd just had the courage to leap."

"The tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goals to reach".

You cannot achieve a result if the result is not defined! Start with the biggest goal and break it into smaller goals.
