NL # 26 – Build the Life You Want. Take Care of Your Own Stuff First. Paradox of Life.

Thought #1 – Build the Life You Want.

You have the power to control your life. Set aside time to think about ways you can build a life full of joy, strength, and peace.

Thought #2 – Take Care of Your Own Stuff First.

Before you attempt to help someone else, make sure all your “ducks are in a row”.

Thought #3 – Paradox of Life

The best things in life are not free. They come at a cost—challenges, pain, sorrow, and trials.

But the paradox is that after you experience all the bad, you gain the strength and courage to direct your life toward experiencing love, joy, peace, and happiness.

Quote for the Week

When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change.

-Paulo Coelho
