Each setback provides an opportunity to recover. And each
time you recover, you grow stronger.
The route to your goal is not a straight line. There will be
many times along the way when you find yourself off course.
When that happens, it can seem like your destination is
unreachable. Doubt, fear and apathy will take hold if you
let them.
The key is not to let them. For as hopeless as the situation
may feel, there are actions you can take that will enable
you to quickly get back on track.
Much of the substance of achievement is in becoming skilled
at making a quick and solid recovery. Each setback gives you
the chance to practice and strengthen and refine that
valuable skill.
Know that whatever has slowed you down can provide you with
a way to move more effectively forward. Quickly get back up,
and feel the new strength you've gained.

Control of You
What upsets you is not what happens. What upsets you is your
response to what happens.
Just as easily as you respond in a negative way, you can
easily and naturally respond in a positive, empowering,
uplifting way.
The biggest problems are often caused by what you choose to
do about the smallest problems. Most of those big, painful
problems are so unnecessary.
Keep reminding yourself that you are in control of you. You
are in control and you can decide exactly how you wish to
feel at any point.
Imagine the power of remaining calm and focused and
resourceful when some totally unexpected, disappointing
development interrupts your day. Truly, you can make the
disappointments not disappointing at all.
Respond on purpose, with purpose. Feel the power and the joy
as every moment gives you a way to move forward.

Consequences of making that choice
Discipline is easier than it sounds. Discipline is nothing
more than choosing, with intention and positive purpose,
while considering all the consequences of making that
choice.
Discipline is a matter of controlling the person over whom
you already have the most control. That person is you.
When you focus on the consequences of each action you take,
on the short term and long term consequences, discipline
comes easily and naturally. Discipline is the recognition
and celebration of the fact that your actions have
influence.
By choosing your actions you can choose your results. By
choosing your actions you can choose the life you create for
yourself.
Discipline is not a punishment or a burden when you choose
it for yourself. Discipline is one of life's greatest
opportunities.
Choose in each moment to exercise the control that you
already have. Live and act with discipline, and create a
life of true fulfillment.

Life, Can Be Amazing ...
Life is all in how you look at it. Through the way you choose
to look at it, you can make your life into anything you
wish.
What if you could transform your resentment for having to do
something into enthusiasm for getting it done? The powerful
and amazing thing is, you can.
Instead of being angry about something that's happened, you
can be determined to make it right. Instead of being
disappointed by the setbacks, you can be motivated by the
new possibilities they've created.
What are you looking at, that looks difficult or painful or
annoying or just plain impossible? What if you looked at it
differently?
You can choose your perspective, you can choose your
feelings, you can choose your thoughts, your words and your
actions. No matter what life sends your way, you can choose
how to look at it and what to do with it.
Get in the habit of looking at life with love and gratitude,
and with enthusiasm for the positive possibilities. When you
look, see the life you wish to live, for you have what it
takes to make it be.
