The Morning Ascent

Life caught you on the blind side and knocked you off your feet.

You expected something, but it didn't happen. You didn't expect this challenge, however, it came into your life. You worked hard and didn't get the outcome you wanted. No matter what your situation may be, know this…the floor is no place for a winner.

Get up. Crawl if you must. Cry, scream or shout. But get up! Lying down won't change a thing. Talking about how close you were, won't bring it about. Complaining won't put any money in the bank. Shake it off, throw away the Kleenex and get your head right! We all get the wind knocked out of us from time to time by life.

Don't let it get the best of you! You're stronger than you think you are. You have the right stuff. Don't take it personally. It's called life.

Get up, get busy and work your business. It's not over until you win!

Believe in yourself. You are the only person who has the ability to radically change your life. Focus your time and energy on increasing your belief in what is possible for you, building your skills and creating a network of achievement focused relationships.

Choose to be a powerful force in your own life and in the world. Make choices on a daily basis that will move you in the direction of what you want to create for yourself. Summon up the courage, the resourcefulness and the motivation to create a life that you can be proud of. Use your imagination, talents and abilities to live a life of purpose and make a greater impact. Live your legacy now.
