Actually, if you focus on just one or two of these words at a time, you can change your life for the better.  Don’t try to do them all at once.  Enjoy the video.

So many people just plod through life, never taking a risk.

Others take risks and fail. But taking risks can mean great successes, as well.  Most of us have more failure than success, but when success finds us, it’s great! The video below is a reminder to wade through the failures till you find your success.

Don’t forget to comment!  I love hearing about your successes!

“The important thing is not being afraid to take a chance. Remember, the greatest failure is to not try. Once you find something you love to do, be the best at doing it.”

I was nervous, so I read the New Testament. I read the verse about no fear, and I felt relaxed. Then I jumped farther than I ever jumped before in my life.

An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life.

“A fight is going on inside me,” he says to the boy.  “It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.

One is evil – he is anger, envy sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.

The other is good – he is gratitude, joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy ,generosity, truth, compassion and faith.

This same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.”

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather which wolf would win.

The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”
