Goal for the Day: Think Triumphantly

King George VI, circa 1940
The Royal Collection

Like King George VI and his speech impediment, each of us has some characteristic that we feel slows us down. Every individual has aspects about his or her life which they feel want changing. However, very often, we feel as though we’re powerless to do anything about it. That’s simply not true.


There’s very little in life which cannot be overcome. Consider all of the energy we put into being resigned about our circumstances. Image if we were to harness that energy into making a change. While there are certain part of life which can’t be erased, we can work to affect change in them. We can improve ourselves, we can triumph over the circumstances which challenge us. It may not happen quickly, but it can happen. And, at the end of it, at least you’ve fought for what you want.

So, today, consider those things which you wish to change. Don’t fear them, but rather, face them head-on. Even if you only make a small dent in the problem, that’s one step closer to living by your own rules and terms.
