Are there any benefits of bringing up the past? When we bring up our painful past into the present we stop living in the present and stop looking ahead towards the future.
Ambition, Persistence brings Success
Post Written By Eugene Morgan
Ambition is the path to success, persistence is the vehicle you arrive in.— William Eardley IV
If we’re not persistence, then there is no use to having ambition in our hearts. If we’re not ambitious, then being persistence in what we’re doing is just a waste of our time. We need them both for us to succeed in life; we can’t do without them. Ambition motivates us while persistence means not allowing failures and disappointments keep us from achieving our dream. We have to continue believing in ourselves when everyone has stopped believing in us. We set our path, and then we walk through at our individual pace. We can only encourage and support each other while we persist through our jungle of life.

Let us feel our emotions. In our daily lives, our unconscious minds tell us what we’re feeling.
Enjoying Life Through Independence
Post Written By Eugene Morgan
Don’t wait for everything to be perfect before you decide to enjoy your life. — Joyce Meyer
We need to stop waiting on the perfect set up before we can enjoy life. Preparation is one thing, but stalling for perfection is another. The only way we can enjoy life is if we experience things as is. Accepting things we don’t have control over is the first step. We do have control, for the most part, ourselves. Perfection is in the mind of the beholder. What seems perfect for one person may not be perfect for another. Perfection is just a fantasy world made up by our need for protection from hurts and disappointments. Enjoying our lives is how we express our independence and freedoms not through perfectionism.

Work Has Its Own Reward
Post Written By Eugene Morgan
Work is not man’s punishment. It is his reward and his strength and his pleasure. — George Sand
Work gives us a healthy dose of self-confidence each day. Work brings us out of ourselves. Although we may complain sometimes, we still get our pleasure out of work. We grow in strength when we have pulled through a stressful work day. We can stand proud of ourselves. We like it when we get things done. At times our job is overwhelming us with a lot to do in a short amount of time, but somehow we get things done, and we’re happy and relieved. All in all, no one can take away our experiences. The best reward is that we can take it with us where ever we go.

Chance to be Better
Post Written By Eugene Morgan
Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better. — Albert Camus
No one wants to be or feel restricted. It’s interesting that Albert Camus linked ‘freedom’ and ‘chance to be better,’ together. If we think about it, we do need room to improve ourselves. Freedom means going beyond our tethers. We don’t want to be locked into one place. We want to spread our wings so we can fly. Freedom creates a spacious environment, so we have a better chance for growth. Freedom is the foundation of responsibility. We are free to respond to the needs of others and the need of ourselves. We become better people when we’re released from our tethers. If we don’t know we’re freed, then how can we know we have a chance to be better.

When was the last time we had a good laugh? A good laugh is good for the mind, the body and the soul, because it’s better to let things go than to hold on to things.
Create Your Future Today
Post Written By Eugene Morgan
The best way to predict the future is to create it. — Peter Drucker
If we think we’re at a loss of what our future is going look like, then we create it today. Just yesterday, today was once a future. Two days from today, our day, today will be our yesterday. Just as two days ago is just a distant memory. If we want to alter our future, then today is a good day to start because tomorrow is not promised. We have this moment to spare to do our great work. We’re the pilot of our lives as long we have our faculties that govern our actions. We create the atmosphere in our lives. Since the future is not promised to us, we might as well enjoy the moments we do have today.

Impossible Until It’s Done
Post Written By Eugene Morgan
It always seems impossible until it’s done. — Nelson Mandela
Whenever we see another person do an extraordinary thing, we think it’s no way we can do something extraordinary like that. We forget that we’ve already done things we thought were impossible to do. When trying something new, we thought it was impossible to do but somehow after putting in a lot effort, we kept at it. We stayed at it long enough that we begin to see the progress that our confidence started to grow because the hard work began to pay off. So what was extraordinary is that we started to believe in ourselves that made it possible do.

Sometime we don’t have the answers we’re looking for within us; that’s because we haven’t experienced them yet.
Ambition Starts With Intelligence
Post Written By Eugene Morgan
Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings. — Salvador Dali
We have to use our intelligence to aid us to get ahead. Ambition cannot do without intelligence while intelligence cannot do without ambition. We need both of them to succeed in life. Just as the bird will indeed die without its wings, we will only be a vegetable without ambition. Dreams feed the mind with learning experiences. There is nothing wrong with ambition as long as we have a moral compass. Ambition is another way of saying we have a desire to meet our goals with determination. A bird needs its wings to find food, to find twigs to build a nest, to find a mate. A bird pretty much does everything with its wings. Therefore, everything we do requires us to complete tasks is also ambition.

The Point of All Achievement
Post Written By Eugene Morgan
The starting point of all achievement is desire. — Napoleon Hill
If we have the desire to start something, then let us do it. We satisfy a desire by doing it. And we will be most satisfied when we achieve what we set out to do. Our passion for the work will get us through the difficult times. We just continue listening to our hearts because our hearts will lead us where we wish. Our minds will make sure that the heart is staying on track. If we want something, it won’t be easy to get, but it is possible if we possess the laser sharp focus because that’s when will get many things accomplish.

Tomorrow Is Ours To Win or Lose
Post Written By Eugene Morgan
Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose. — Lyndon B. Johnson
We no longer can touch yesterday. Yesterday is just a slight or skewed distortion of our memory. We can’t always trust our minds implicitly because we have a tendency to fill in the gaps to complete a memory. Memories are like many pieces to a puzzle that has scattered; we have to find them to put back together again. It is not always easy to do. When tomorrow becomes today, we have another opportunity to get back in the battle of life to win some and to lose some. We won’t always be winners, and we won’t always be losers, but we can participate in life to learn our way around.

Know Better, Do Better
Post Written By Eugene Morgan
Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better. —Maya Angelou
In other words, do the best we can, learn from it and do it better when we get another opportunity. We grow and learn from doing our best. It is nice that we have the chance to improve on our best. The quality of our work is vital because it is the reflection on us. We want to be recommended by others because that tells us how well we’re doing. We want to be praised by how well we’re doing in our work. We’re our worse critic that we will always find how we can improve our tasks. It is better to do our best until be know better to do better in our work.
