“Every next level of your life will demand a different you.”
In life, change tends to be the only constant. No two years are exactly the same. Neither are two months, weeks, or days the same. So, that means no two chapters of our life are the same. Life is constantly evolving, while forcing us to evolve as well. This anonymous…

“Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time.”
It’s our tendency to assume that a person is successful because they rarely make mistakes. We may think, they never mess up in any major way, which is precisely why they’re successful. However, we’d be surprised to find that many successful people not only make mistakes, but they’ve made quite…

“Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.”
Given a choice, most people would rather have only success and no failure. However, this quote, by the writer Truman Capote, reminds us that failure is what makes success more sweet. This makes sense. Without failure, success is taken for granted. In fact, the idea of success loses much of…

“Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.”
No matter who you are, there’s a lot of things you cannot do–and that’s okay! We all have different talents, strengths, and weaknesses. Imagine if everyone was equally talented in the same things. It would make for a very boring world with little progress or innovation. So instead of beating…

“Life is like a camera. Focus on what’s important. Capture the good times. And if things don’t work out, just take another shot.”
This quote, by Ziad K. Abdelnour, presents a great analogy for life. Some versions (Anonymous) of the quote read “Life is like a camera. Focus on what’s important. Capture the good times. Develop from the negatives. And if things don’t work out, just take another shot.” In life, our camera…

“Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.”
In agriculture, not everyday is a harvest. In fact, for most crops, harvesting everyday is not a good idea. First of all, there needs to be adequate time given for plants to grow and mature in accordance to the season, which will yield a more fruitful harvest. Second, only harvesting…

“Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.”
Monkey bars are a staple on a lot of playgrounds. This playground equipment is typically a row of equidistant bars, rings, or triangles elevated high enough that you have to reach, jump, or climb to grab them. The goal is to get from one end to the other without touching…

“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”
This quote, by the inventor Thomas Edison, gives us another perspective of failure. Yes, failure means not succeeding at something. However, a deeper and more consequential deffiniton is that of not yet succeeding and giving up. Moreover, giving up when you’re close to success and not knowing it. This is…
