Rule #122 2/15/16 Giving Up Is Not An Option We just have to have faith when things appear like they will never yield our way, we must maintain an unshakable confidence and belief that in the end, all that falls apart will come together again stronger and full of more wisdom than before, every experience, every challenge, every time we fall flat on our faces, through ever disappointment, every heart ache, every loss, there was and is a deep meaning purpose behind it, so there is no need to ever feel discouraged, no need to ever give up; every moment in life has something beautiful to teach us, keep pushing forward, we only fail when we choose to give up! ~Will "Story" Rivera Did you know that Margaret Mitchell, author of “Gone With The Wind” was rejected by over 78 publishers before one publishing company accepted her book, Beethoven’s musical teacher growing up told him that he was a hopeless composer, Walt Disney was turned down by over 750 different banks when he was trying to get the loan to build Disneyland, he was also fired from his job, because he so called “lacked fresh ideas“ and had to file bankruptcy 6 times before his dream was fulfilled, Colonel Sanders (creator of Kentucky Fried Chicken) - was told "No" by over a thousand restaurants for more than a year while he lived in his car trying to sell his chicken recipe.
Michael Jordan was cut from the High School team and told he just didn’t have the skills to play basketball? Here are his thoughts on what we believe to be “so called failure” “If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it. I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and I missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is exactly why I succeed.”~Michael Jordan Everyday for the next year I will be posting a new Inspirational Rule to consider living by. I hope you enjoy. Rule #121 2/14/16 Never Dim Your Light. Life will throw at us all types of situations. We are going to lose our jobs, we will have fights, arguments, maybe even be witness to violence. we are exposed to the news everyday and it sometimes can feel like there is no more good left in this very world.
When we reach these emotions or feel ourselves coming close to breaking, to giving up, to losing the desire to be the light amongst the darkness, it is then we need to truly stand in faith of our being, recognize that even if we are the last spark of hope left to do something good or be the good in this world, then so be it. ~Will "Story" Rivera excerpt from the book - "In The End - What Matters Most" Everyday for the next year I will be posting a new Inspirational Rule to consider living by. I hope you enjoy. Rule #120 2/13/16 The Life You Have Is Precious. They really mean it when they say life is a gift, treasure it. That breath you just took is the most precious gift of the moment and the fact that you were blessed with another one has made you more lucky than most who did not get to live another day. No matter what you are going through - remember how the smallest blessings in your life. Choose to focus solely on the things you wish to see more and let go easily that which does not even deserve an ounce of your attention.
Just for today let go of the worry and embrace the joy. You deserve to be happy every moment of your life not just sometimes. Let your content be dependent on the inside and not the conditions of the outside. ~Will "Story" Rivera Everyday for the next year I will be posting a new Inspirational Rule to consider living by. I hope you enjoy. Rule #119 2/12/16 See the light in people. People may do things which frustrate, hurt or anger you, or they may have nothing in common with you at all -- but you can choose to see beyond these external factors and focus on the common humanity and mortality you both share. You are both souls in human bodies trying to navigate the world at this point in time in the best way you know how. Strive to accept and forgive other people whenever you can.
Focus more on the light they possess than the issues or traits you find fault in. |
