Have you honestly pondered your individual worth? Consider every lower life form in the world__he animals, plants, fouls and fishes. Consider the land forms and numerous earthly wonders. Consider the countless worlds beyond this planet as well as their stars and galaxies. And then consider yourself. Of all God__ creations, you were formed in His image, resembling the likeness of a God. That__ something to think about.

This is me today, but take heed; it is not the same me as yesterday, and it will not be the same me tomorrow.

How frustrating to think you can be lost to yourself. And yet how often it is that a stranger stares back at you from the mirror. Maybe in truth we never see ourselves as clearly as the thousands of eyes that daily take us in.

Life is a valuable and unique opportunityto discover who you are.But it seems as soon as you nearanswering that age-old question,something unexpected always happensto alter your course.And who it is you thought you weresuddenly changes.Then comes the frustrating realizationthat no matter how long life endures,no matter how many experiencesare muddled through in this existence,you may never really be ableto answer the question....Who am I? Because the answer, like the seasons,constantly, subtly, inevitably changes.And who it is you are today,is not the same person you will be tomorrow.

Maybe there is no such thing as success__ final destination where you arrive once and for all. Maybe existence is a never-ending journey of peaks and valleys and forever chasing dreams.

Goals are my north star. _My compass. _The map that guides me along the road I wish to travel. _Goals are motivations with wind in their sails__hey carry me forward despite the storms.

Between here and there is a journey illuminated by the rising and setting of a radiant sun. Don't miss its splendor in your all-fired hurry to cross the finish line.

It has never been my goal to impress anyone but myself. That has proven challenging enough.

The funny thing about an impossibility is that it tends to be a magnet for those who would prove it otherwise.

The real achievers are those who, in the dreary pit of sacrifice, still smile up at the goal.

The reason people fail to reach their goals is because they give up too early. They don't understand that most successes are built upon foundations of multiple attempts.

Knowing the path to follow doesn't make it a breeze to step along. If every desire were only a skip, hop, and a jump away, we'd all have arrived.

My spirit mirrors the radiance of a clear, blue sky. With closed eyes I lift my face and smile, warmed from the core and from above. All hopes and dreams compete with this endless expanse of heaven, desiring the clock of eternity. I reach with my hands__renziedly achieving__ttempting to learn and do all. Yet I understand the humble truth; a drop of rain shall amount to my contribution among all the droplets in the vast ocean of human history. It is a pure and precious tear that seeps from my efforts....my exist

Remember this__he journey is part of the dream. _Whatever it is you're chasing, so long as you are actively moving in the right direction, the_dream is coming true.

Dreams aren't finish lines to be reached at the close of a race. They don't suddenly materialize, fulfilled, where the road ends. The entire journey is included in the dream__ll of it from beginning to forevermore. You're on that journey right now; hence, you're living the dream. Enjoy it.

In constant view keeps mightily true an honest resolve to do.

Maybe not here and now, but somewhere, someday.

Through sheer volume of passing days you will travel a great distance in your lifetime. Imagine where you might stand if your footsteps steered toward a single goal.
