“Difficulties mastered are opportunities won.” – Winston Churchill
Right now, I’m avoiding a couple of situations because they are so difficult for me. But once I face them, if I face them, then they will become opportunities (or situations) won.
“There are two ways to face the future. One way is with apprehension; the other is with anticipation.” – Jim Rohn
You can either face the future with fear or confidence. I do my best to have confidence, but my anxiety often takes over causing apprehension. All that matters is that I keep trying and don’t give up. The confidence will come in time.
“Every accomplishment begins with a decision to try.” – Edward T. Kelly
Nothing can be accomplished until you try; put in a little effort and then you can see what you have created.
“Acknowledging a mistake just means that you are wiser today than you were yesterday.” – Kelly Ann Rothaus
If that’s true, than I must be brilliant 😉 I do my best to acknowledge my mistakes when I see them. I think that’s one of the best ways to learn.
“We’re not meant to fit in. We’re mean to stand out.” – Sarah Ban Breathnach
As a child, all I wanted to do was fit in, but it seemed like I was trying to put a square peg in a round hole. It’s better to be yourself. My bipolar disorder is one thing that may make me stand out, but that’s a good thing. It’s good that every person is unique.
