Attitude is everything…

Embrace change. All change comes with a certain level of loss. But change is a must for evolution to take place. And loss is necessary to make room for growth.  “Broken Lion” curse Pain is mandatory, suffering is optional

We have a choice in how we interpret our experiences in life. We can be the optimist or the pessimist. But we must acknowledge that it IS a choice! Sister’s situation “Healing doesn’t mean the damage never existed. It

means the damage no longer controls our lives.”

The Lessons… Choice:

“It isn't what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about it.”

Commitment: Chasing Dreams “The grass isn't always greener on the other side....it's

green where you water it.”

Teamwork: No such thing as individual success. Enroll others! "In sport and in life, we all have the same goal...to be

part of a winning team.”

The Lessons con’t…

My “memory” disability and ADD Good for living free of regret Bad for public speaking (hence the PPT!)

Have faith in yourself:Finding the “key’s”

Develop a personal motto: “Know No Limits”

Know No Limits…

“The choices we make, not the chances we take, determine our destiny.”

“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.”

“Life’s battles don’t always go to the stronger or faster person. Sooner or later, the one who wins is the one who thinks he

can.”

“Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people

who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.”

“The difference between the

impossible and the possible lies

in a person's determination.”

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a

habit.”

The future you See, defines the person you will

need to Be…

Know No

Limits!
