Choose to be Happy

“Success and happiness are not matters of chance but choice.” – Zig Ziglar

Want to Change Your Life?

“Don’t be upset by the results you didn’t get from the work you didn’t do.” – Joel Runyon

One of my favorite things to read is the ImpossibleHQ Blog. The writer, Joel Runyon, is one of those guys with an outstanding perspective. One of his mantras is that “if you want to change your life, you have to change your life.” Do you want to lose weight? There is no magic pill. Would you like to visit another country? There is no Star Trek transporter beam. Feel a desire to be better at your job or get promoted? There’s not a shot that will do that for you.

You and you alone have to make the decisions and sacrifices and effort to make these things happen.

Take control of your own destiny.

“If you want to change your life, you have to change your life.”

Have a great day!
