Whether you realize it or not, every day brings you closer to your goals and dreams. You may feel like you have a long way to go, but you're closer than you think. Avoid giving up or getting discouraged. Keep moving forward. Every setback is a learning experience that can bring you closer to your goal.
 
When people tell you all the reasons you'll fail, or when you try to do something but receive a less than perfect outcome, avoid taking to heart. People always have opinions, and they can be - and usually are - wrong. Each failure can be a stepping-stone if you turn it into one. Even professional athletes and actors make mistakes. It's okay, you are human!
 
Be prepared, your successful outcome may arrive next month, next week, or even today. When you stop and give up before you complete your goal or dream, you lose the chance to see yourself completely fulfilled and reach the destiny that you were created for. You never know, you just might be hours away from your goals!

I absolutely LOVE this quote.  It sums up the way we should live life.  So many people silently suffer from procrastination, giving themselves 1001 reasons why they can't.  Whether it is due to feelings of self-doubt, a lack of confidence, or fear of failure. Their hesitation prevents them from making any move at all.

But the question I have for you today, is who does that serve?  We often make the assumption in our mind that there will be a next time.  There will be a tomorrow, that will afford us the same opportunity as today, but let me remind you of the reality...no one is promised tomorrow.  We can't move through life, assuming there will be a "next time".  Instead, we need to challenge ourselves to give it all we've got today.  

Remember, yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not promised, but today is a gift, and you have an opportunity to make a decision to rePRESENT.

I'm amazed at how often we can look to external people and things to build our confidence.  Whether it is our friend group, the number of followers on social media or our financial status. The reality is none of those things alone can give a person true genuine confidence.  They can bring you temporary satisfaction that will at some point fade.

The challenge with placing our confidence in external things is they are often things that are fluid, and that can be snatched away in an instance.  

Placing our confidence in the hands of our friend group can cause heartache when and if circumstances change.

When we place our confidence in the number of friends and followers on social media, we know how that goes. The trends change and who and what is hot today, finds it's self on the "not" list later.

Lastly, when we place our confidence in things like our financial status, our titles, and our assets, the reality is all of those things can be lost in an instance.
