Everybody needs to realize a couple of things:

1. Every day is another opportunity to learn.

2. You are in control of your life.

I don’t care if you’re short, tall, fat, skinny, or purple with yellow polka dots — these statements apply to you.

A lot of us take life for granted. We see life as something that happens to us — not for us, or because of us. We accept life as is — take it or leave it.

A lot of us have dreams. These too, we take for granted. We see them for what they are — dreams. At some point, we give a slight effort to make them reality, but when we fall short, we turn back to the institution we call “normal life.”

This way of thinking needs to stop.

We all have the ability to reach our full potential.

Nobody wants to be worse off than they are now — we all want to better ourselves in some way, shape or form.

But self-improvement is a long, taxing journey that requires will, discipline and commitment. It’s a slow, constantly changing, process with a purpose that might not always be clear. Yet, personal growth is something we should all strive for to maximize our time on Earth.
