A Boat Only Sinks When The Situation On The Outside Gets On The Inside

A Boat Only Sinks When The Situation On The Outside Gets On The Inside

We have control over our thoughts and it is our thoughts that create our reality. Therefore, we have control over our reality. What we believe into existence is who we become. So why do we back away from challenges that help us to grow when we know that it’s best for us? When we speak…

My deepest fear is not that I’m incapable – my deepest fear is that I may never reach the potential of my capabilities. I’m afraid that I may let time pass by and make no real progress because I’m too lazy or holding on to some egotistical view of the world. What I do know…
