If a man happens to find himself, he has a mansion which he can inhabit with dignity all the days of his life.

Choose to use it

Success is not a matter of whether or not you can. For there is no doubt, not even in your own mind, that you can.

Success is determined by whether or not you will. Achievement and fulfillment depend on what you choose to do with the opportunities and possibilities that are undeniably yours.

Will you decide to avoid the best of those possibilities by hiding behind well-constructed excuses? Or will you choose to accept, to make real, and to live the full value with which your life has been blessed?

It is great that you are in a position to achieve so much. Yet it is far, far better when you actually do it.

You have everything you need, right now, to make this very day a day in which your life moves positively and decidedly forward. You have the capacity to dream big, wonderful, meaningful dreams and to make them real.

There is no question that, one way or another, you have the ability. It’s up to you to choose to use it.
