Today's Quote: “Setbacks are inevitable but requisite in bringing about the desired change."

Victor Lee


EVEN A BRICK HAS AMBITION

It is imperative for any who aspires to excellence to not dwell in disappointment and discouragement. Setbacks are inevitable but requisite in bringing about the desired change. They are often the pivot points for the sharp turns we encounter as we choose our way. Launching our expectations does not guarantee the outcome we expect. However, not pursuing our dreams may lead to a lifetime of what might have been. Never believe you have no burning desire to participate in something you have not yet achieved. We are all born to contribute that which only we can bring. The moment you believe you have no purpose, consider this. Even a brick has ambition. It wants to become a part of something bigger!

WE ARE ALREADY ENOUGH!

 Quote for the week:

"What we settle for will never reach beyond itself."

 We have all imagined ourselves living and playing in the excellence of the life we choose. When we dare to dream beyond where we are, there is an immediate euphoria rush, which takes us to heights for some unimagined.

This moment is a spark sufficient to ignite any vision. Though it may not yet appear possible, "we can only reap if we faint not." No matter what, we must hold fast to rise to the level of our dreams. You and I are more than capable of finishing any course we set to "belief." What we settle for will never reach beyond itself. Each of us must stride confidently towards what only we can walk out. Everything which happens next is up to us. For whatever our journey, we are already enough.

A LESSON ON COMMITMENT

Quote for the week:

"Nothing could be more perverse than to stand idle believing change is just going to come."

 

As we look beyond COVID, we are ushering in a new dawn of humanity. Our success as a society, as we determine to bring about radical transformation, will come at a price. Many of us have been through such courses. We know that passive participation does not produce this level of change. If we don't soon find a way to hang together, we can only hang separately. A breakfast of bacon and eggs holds a lesson from which we all could learn. The chicken that laid the eggs was involved, but the pig was committed. Nothing could be more perverse than to stand idle believing change is just going to come. We should position ourselves to rise like the phoenix because a new day has already come. When we become committed, that is the moment we become unstoppable. Some gave it all so that we could see this day. What will be your contribution to all that they have given? They were committed to being the bacon on your plate.

SECOND CHANCES

“Our gratitude for second chances will never speak any louder than when we love others as ourselves.” Victor Lee

In a world that does not always seem fair second chances are still in abundance. There is not one person who has not benefited from the blessings of a free pass in a time of need. Not one can recount the times in which grace saved us from ourselves. In the words of Dr. Clifford Ashe III, “None of us has gotten into as much trouble as we tried. Yet, somehow we often live as though we are the exception. We judge others as though they are somehow different when we are all human beings having a human experience. The importance of understanding second chances is they are given and not earned. They are unmerited gifts given out of the abundance of one who has it to give. We should not take these blessings lightly. Each has fallen short. Our gratitude for second chances will never speak any louder than when we love others as ourselves.

EVEN A BRICK HAS AMBITIONS

“Setbacks are not only inevitable but requisite in bringing about unbridled and unflappable change.” Victor Lee

It is imperative for any who aspires to excellence to not dwell in disappointment and discouragement. Setbacks are not only inevitable but requisite in bringing about unbridled and unflappable change. They are the pivot point for the sharp turns we will encounter as we choose to become unstoppable in pursuit of our dreams. Launching our imaginings does not guarantee the outcome we expect. However, not pursuing our dream may beget a lifetime of what might have been. Never believe that you have no burning desire to participate in something not yet achieved. We are all born to contribute what only we can bring. Should you entertain the thought that you have no purpose or dream, consider this: Even a brick has ambition. It wants to be part of something great!

YOUR FUTURE IS SPOTLESS

Have you ever dreaded a decision due to a previous outcome? Dependent upon the level of risk our next move is often dictated by overwhelming reminders of past failures. In a matter of moments, we may be overcome with fear feeling there is no way we can win. What I have learned is our perceptions are mostly given by the filter through which we view life. As though automatic we see our realities from the vantage of past experiences. In the work I do, it is common to hear "things never seem to work out for me" or "I just can't catch a break." This view more often leaves one time and again with what appears to be, no open door. At the moment we may not recognize this as a pattern. Yet, undetected, it may now be a predator robbing you of your birthright, goals, dreams, and the passion to stride confidently towards everything which matters. Now that you are inspired, I implore you to newly look at your challenge and embrace these words: Though in your past you may have encountered enormous difficulty, Your Future Is Spotless.
