Just think how different life could be if we would view failure as a badge of honor. What goals have you abandoned due to your fear of failure? Tackle your fear and undertake one of those goals. The only real failure in life is not trying.
So what if you were born that way? God gives each of us weaknesses and imperfections, not to use as an excuse for our less than noble behavior, but as a challenge to grow. Our negative habits are our chin up bar to greatness.
This is the flip side of the previous quote. So what if you were born good-looking and smart. What matters is how much you strive to utilize your strengths to bring out your inner potential and attain greatness. Your raw talent is a freebie. Now earn it.
We all have dreams of achieving greatness, and we wish we can get there overnight without having to lift a finger. Don’t confuse comfort with pleasure. Comfort is an escape from pain, feet up on the desk, sleep. Real pleasure and meaning require effort and struggle. No pain, no gain.
As the Mishna says, “Who is the rich person? The one who is happy with his lot” (Ethics of the Fathers, 4:1). Happiness is an attitude. Being ingrateful is toxic. Appreciating what you have is the key to living with happiness.

A new old saying!
Well, after all these years and all my years of education as both a philosopher and psychologist, there's only one thing I think I know for certain ... life's a mystery and then I'm history! GD

words for the wise and for those who listen. If people listen to this and put it into practice, Africa would be different. Wish they could understand and there could be no corruption in the system.

What the world needs now! A sheynem dank.
These are truly rules to live by, and I'm glad I asked how to say "Thank you", but instead, I learned to say "Thank you so much."
