due to the simple fact that
he or she expects it to come true. I
n other words,
an expectation about a subject,
such as a person or event,
can affect our behavior towards that subject,
which causes the expectation to be realized...................

You may feel very secure in the pond that you are in,

You fight for it,

you must never become lax about maintaining it.
You must make a mighty effort
to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever,

Determination its the key to all human success.
But by definition –
being determined in the face of struggle is difficult.
Sometimes we need support and encouragement,
sometimes we need to figure out what went wrong,
and sometimes we just need to grit our teeth,
pull ourselves up by the bootstraps,
and soldier onward.
At the end of the day,
life is hard for all of us (though to varying degrees),
and there will be many obstacles to what we want from life.
You might look at successful people and from the outside – it looks easy.
You might think you’re putting in as much effort as anyone else.
But the truth is that as humans,
we often overestimate our own determination
and underestimate the determination of those around us.
Keep walking !!

(I love the attached pic quote because like it says
IT TAKES YEARS TO HONE YOUR CRAFT....
PATIENCE IN PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE – SUCCESS...
to many “WANT IT NOW,
WANT IT INSTANTANEOUSLY,
WITHOUT PUTTING IN THE TIME, BLOOD, SWEAT, TEARS, SUFFERING....
like they say ROME WAS NOT BUILT IN A DAY...
how do you expect instant success
without paying the price necessary for it?
think about it.... )
The price of success is hard work,
dedication to the job at hand,
and the determination that whether we win or lose,
we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand. .
We all have dreams.
But in order to make dreams come into reality,
it takes an awful lot of determination,
dedication, self-discipline, and effort.

they spend preparing for it.
The victorious performance itself is merely the demonstration
of their championship character.”
“When opportunity comes,
it’s too late to prepare.”
“Most people fail in life because
they were not prepared for the opportunities

“Discipline is critical to proper preparation.”

If not,
how can you dare to live a better tomorrow?”

Life is a game,
play it;
Life is a challenge,
Meet it;
Life is an opportunity,
Capture it.
All life is an experiment.
The more experiments you make the better.
Enjoy the little things in life,
for one day you may look back
and realize they were the big things.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do
than by the things you did.

The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows.
It's a very mean and nasty place
and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees
and keep you there permanently if you let it.
You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.

How much you can take

Every single second is an opportunity to change your life,
because in any moment you can change the way you feel.
You create your own universe as you go along.
See the things that you want as already yours.
Know that they will come to you at need.
Then let them come.
Don’t fret and worry about them.
Don’t think about your lack of them.
Think of them as yours,
as belonging to you,
as already in your possession.
What things soever ye desire,
when ye pray,
believe that ye receive them,
and ye shall have them.
All that we are is a result of what we have thought.
Imagination is everything.
It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.
Whatever the mind can conceive it can achieve.
