Life does not always give you what you want, but if you look closely you will see that it gives what you need for growth.

Yesterday ended last night. Every day is a new beginning. Learn the skill of forgetting. And move on.
Today I begin a new life. Today I shed my old skin which hath, too long, suffered the bruises of failure and the wounds of mediocrity. Today I am born anew and my birthplace is a vineyard where there is fruit for all.
Just keep going – no feeling is final.
Tough times are inevitable in life and in business. But how you compose yourself during those times defines your spirit and will define your future.
