There are many situations in life when we feel quitting is the only option left for us. However, if you look around for a moment, your perception might change. There are people who have nothing, but still happy with what they have. There are people who struggle every day, but never complain. How to keep the courage and face every situation? How to stay on track with your goals?
In 2016, for my 25th wedding anniversary, my husband and I took 60 days off of work to bike across the country. It was no ordinary bike ride. It was the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route from Banff, Canada to Antelope Wells, New Mexico, on the Mexican border. It crossed the Continental Divide 32 times, had almost 200,000 vertical feet of climbing; and, we went on this journey unsupported.
Trying to change a behavior that gets in your way rarely succeeds unless you understand the beliefs that inform it. Beliefs create the framework that shapes your actions. They provide rationales for how you behave and present logical reasons for why you need not change.
In high school I looked up to my classmate Rick Brown, the quintessential cool guy. He was the good-looking captain of the football team and president of the student council.

Being successful and achieving goals is what keeps us going in life; empowering us to live up to our potential. Most of us have aspirations we are working towards, often from school or university. We think we know what we have to do to be successful and we know we have achieved it when we attain that sought-after position, or when we reach that certain income level.
Do you find this to be true: when you feel organized at home, it's much easier to head into work with a clear head and with the right frame of mind. Here are some ways to foster a more organized, clutter free environment -- both at home and at work.
But our ancient ancestors faced threats and challenges very different from those we confront in today's modern society, with its layers of social restrictions and nuanced meanings adding to the intricacies of our interpersonal dealings. This is especially true in workplace settings, where each corporate culture adds it own complexities and guidelines for correct behavior.
Few things stir the emotions of sports fans like a great comeback. When virtually all rational hope has evaporated, something truly remarkable begins to emerge from the ethos. Storybook comebacks don’t happen all that often in the sports world, but when they do, it becomes the stuff of legend that gets passed down from generation to generation. As the momentum shifts, what was seemingly impossible becomes plausible, and what was plausible becomes undeniable truth.
Having a successful life is a function of having a series of successful years, which come from having twelve successful months that are produced by having four successful weeks, which are each made up of seven successful days. While this might seem overly simplistic, it’s a concept that very few people master, and those who do master it seem to be ultra-successful. It’s often difficult to quantify a successful day because there are so many intangibles.
