Struggles

( Struggles )
In every man the memory of the struggles and the heroes of the past is alive. But these memories are not incompatible with the desire for peace in the future.
Obstacles are necessary for success because in selling, as in all careers of importance, victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats.
The difficulties and struggles of today are but the price we must pay for the accomplishments and victories of tomorrow.
Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle...
There will always be men struggling to change, and there will always be those who are controlled by the past.”
Comimg together during struggles, becoming stronger in tough times,
“The struggle we undergo to remain faithful to one we love is little better than infidelity.”
“Education comes from within; you get it by struggle and effort and thought.”
“Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.”
If there is no struggle there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation...want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightening. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters.... Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.
Do not fear the challenges of life, but approach them patiently, with faith in God. He will reward your faith with power not only to endure, but also to prevail over hardships, disappointments, trials, and struggles of daily living. Through diligently striving to live the law of God and with faith in Him, we will not be diverted from our eternal course.

( Path way to happiness )
Enjoying freedom, releasing the past.
Just as you have the ability to change your mind, you also have the ability to change the state of your mind. Happiness and joy are states of mind to be enjoyed any time you want.
The first step in changing your state of mind is to visualize yourself in that happy state, even if you are feeling sad. Keep seeing yourself laughing, enjoying yourself and having fun, blocking any negative thoughts from entering--Corey Winters.
All the happiness you could ever want is already within you and costs nothing. By digging through the noise and minutia of everyday life, you will see tiny glimpses of the spiritual God-source from which all happiness emanates--the very joy of being.
Happiness is a choice to be made in advance or no later than the present moment. Negativity, once experienced can never be reversed, but if you are not careful, it can be lived again and again and again.
Hard times allow us to really dive deep into ourselves and figure out who we truly are and what we want out of life. They make us desire happiness more than we ever have and they can lead you to discovering your passions and what truly makes you happy. They can help you develop gratitude and appreciation for the little things we gloss over. No matter what happens to us in life, it is always up to us to determine how we will handle it.
Focusing on the things that bring happiness to daily living is a worthwhile exercise. It is easy to focus on the negative, especially when there are reminders everywhere. But choosing to seek ways to incorporate happy thoughts can make a tremendous difference in daily living. As the following quotes illustrate, happiness is largely a matter of choice.
