Often, achieving what you set out to do is not the most important thing.

A goal causes us to move in the direction that we have chosen. But not every goal will be fully achieved. Not every job end successfully. Not every relationship will endure. Not every hope will come to pass. Not every love will last. Not every endeavor will be completed. Not every dream will be realized.

Life has its up and downs, its peaks and its valleys. No one is up all the time, nor are they down all the time. The tough people who survive the tough time do sobecause they have chosen to react positively to their predicanment. Tough times never last, but tough people do. Tough people stick it out. History teaches us that every problem has a lifespan. No problem is perment. Storms always give way to the sun. Winter always thaws into springtime. Your problem will be solved.

You may not have started out life in the best circumstance. But if you find a mission in your life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you from acheving success.

If you want to be happy, set yourself a goal that commands your thoughs, liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes. Happiness is within you. It comes from doing some certain thing into which you can put all your thonght and energy. If you want to be happy, get enthusiastic about something.

It is in the things we do that life is lived. And it's the joy in the journey, in the end, that turn matters.
