Beautiful souls are shaped by ugly experiences

Life always gives us another change: It's called "To Move On. Small stars still light up big skies. Life is a series of waves to be embraced and overcome. You have power over your mind--not outside events. Successful people strive no mater what they feel by applying their will to overcome apathy, doubt or fear. Every calamity is to be overcome by endurance. Love and peace of mind allow us to overcome the problems that life hands us. They teach us to survive, to live for the moment and to have courage to move on each day. When the goal seems difficult to reach, take a break but never give up. Never give in to the obstacles that lie in your path towards the achievement of your dreams. Don't settle for your human capacity. Live up to your God-given potential. Don't run from your weakness, you will only give it strength. Always follow your dreams, even if they lead you down a few dark alleys. Today is a new day. Yesterday's mistakes cannot affect today's possibilities unless you dwell on them.   You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water. Choose rather to be strong of soul than strong of body. You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." . . . You must do the thing you think you cannot do.   A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination, and hard work. Life’s challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they’re supposed to help you discover who you are. You can't attack the giants in your life, if you are not aiming to strike and hit the target. You can't run a race in vain, if you have no plans to win or finish it. Start, strive and aim high...never give up. Your best is yet to come!
