Do you know those people that just seem to be stuck in life? I'm sure you do. They're stuck working at a job that they hate because they're afraid of the risk that comes with change. Maybe they're stuck in a relationship that is only tolerable, not exceptional. Perhaps these people have been meaning to change but they don't. They refuse to grow, they don't mature, and their lives are colorless. They are so afraid of being lonely or rejected that they refuse to raise the bar. Well, I refuse to be that person.
I want to be better, do better, know more, and be more.
I am going to stop letting other people's actions and words control my emotions.
I will not be driven by my desires, but driven by personal growth.
Every day that I wake, I plan to be a better me than yesterday.
One of my father's co-workers once told him a simple rule to his life's success.
He said, "Every morning when I wake up, I tell myself:
"The first thing I am going to do today is the last thing I want to do."
My life will not be about finding temporary moments of happiness.
Instead, it will be about making relationships that last, surrounding myself with people I can trust, learning new things, and smiling often.
