-
If you are always willing to make one more attempt, you can reach whatever goal you choose. No matter what results you get, the only real failure is when you stop making the effort.
When you are mistaken, you can learn. When you are knocked down, you can get back up.
When you find that you've veered off track, you can correct your direction. When you discover that circumstances have changed, you can make adjustments accordingly.
Eventually, you'll reach the point at which the next attempt you make is the one that will complete the desired accomplishment. What a shame it would be to stop just one effort short of success.
For that next effort will make all the others pay off. Commit yourself to making one more effort, one more attempt, as often as necessary, and anything is within your reach.
Keep making that one more attempt, keep getting back up, and keep moving forward in the direction of your goal, one step after another. And you will surely get there.

Feel whatever you choose
Stop working so diligently to make your feelings match your circumstances. Realize instead that you can select and direct your feelings to create much more favorable circumstances of your own choosing.
There's no law that says you must harbor feelings of disappointment, dismay, anger and futility when events don't go your way. You can just as easily feel amused, enlightened and more positively inspired than ever before.
You could use your feelings to prolong a difficult situation. Or you can choose other feelings that will enable you to transcend your greatest difficulties and move forward.
How do you feel positive when the world around you is so negative? Just ask yourself whether you would rather be imprisoned by your feelings or empowered by them.
From moment to moment, you are constantly choosing which feelings to hold on to and which ones to discard. Be ever mindful of this power that is yours, for by improving the way you feel you can improve anything in your life to whatever degree you decide.
Your feelings are powerful forces, and by taking control of them you can move your life in any direction. Feel whatever you choose, and you are choosing to make it so.

Make this the day you come fully to life. Make this the day you take real, meaningful steps toward fulfilling the best of your possibilities.
Make this the day you experience, more completely than ever before, how great it feels to create a positive difference. Make this the day you commit to using your extensive skills, interests and resources to produce a real and lasting contribution to life.
Make this the day you hit upon a unique and valuable way to express the beautiful, authentic person you are. Make this the day you truly see the profound beauty that is in every little detail of life.
Make this the day you let go of the useless and destructive negative attitudes you thought for so long that you needed. Make this the day you connect with the power of sincere and positive intention.
Make this the day you rise above the pettiness and triviality that seek to drown you in a sea of futility. Make this the day you open your eyes to the grand and brilliant possibilities that are your life.
Everything up to this point has served as perfect preparation for the day that is now in your grasp. Make this the day you make it all count for something truly great.

Do you realize?
Do you understand where you are right now? You are in a place, a time, and a set of circumstances toward which you've been moving your entire life.
Do you realize the enormous opportunity that now exists? You are more experienced and better prepared than ever before.
Each past failure is now a positive and valuable lesson that you've learned about what works and what doesn't. All the disappointments you've ever known have now combined together to create a powerful and meaningful determination that permeates your life.
By this point in your life, your dreams and desires are more in line with who you truly are than they've ever been before. And now you're perfectly positioned to actually achieve them.
Do you realize how truly unique and powerful this very moment is? This is the moment when you can begin to fulfill your greatest possibilities.
This is the moment you've been working your way toward for a long time. You are here at last, so fill your world with the lifetime of richness that you're able to give.
