Ability, motivation, attitude

Ability is what you’re capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.

Your choice

Attitude is a choice. Happiness is a choice. Optimism is a choice. Kindness is a choice. Giving is a choice. Respect is a choice. Whatever choice you make makes you. Choose wisely.

Dealing with obstacles

It’s not the load that breaks you down, it’s the way you carry it.

Today we hear the question “Did you win?”

I say the real question is “Did you give it all you had?”

To me, that is the only criterion that makes you a winner.
