HOPE THAT CHANGES LIFE

Hope that changes life You are here - there is a reason. You are here - you want something better. You are here - you have a chance. Take it - grasp it and hold on with all your might. There will be reasons why you can't - but for every one there is a reason why you will. Move forward. Be better today. More active, eat smarter, be proud of yourself. One hour at a time adds up to a day, days at a time will equal a week - the weeks will blend - good habits take hold - results will show - it is hard to see 12 weeks from now - but I am here to tell you it's worth it - so are many others. There are ups and downs, plateaus and set backs - these come with change. Life without making change for the better is a dead-life at all. In order for change to make it happen in life is, like President Obama said, we have to believe it possible and get it done. But watch out ! You gotta go step by step, right? Why post this here? Hope. We, Chins are good at talking ( mouth-services ) but very lazy to do practically that's what most matters to every single of us and is assumed a big threatening challenge as well. Imagine You are facing a tough challenge often times- but tough is very different than impossible. You will face difficulties, uncooperative family members, time issues, self doubt, years of bad habits - but look to those here who are winning the battle - they faced down those difficulties and often use them as motivation and turn them into their tool of success. Need help -ask for it. Want to succeed - find your motivation - write it down - think of it every time you are tempted. This is about a better lifestyle not a day matter.Struggle does work - but a better approach to soaring high combined with constantly strive  can change your life. The resources are here, the support is here. It's only up to your decision- bad makes it bad, good makes it better. Lastly don't be afraid - anything you do is likely better than what you have been doing - be a little better every day - fear will defeat the process.Try to find motivation every day as much as possible. You can do this - and no one can do it for you. Grab the hope - hold on tight. Start your improvements and then reach out and help someone else. This is dedicated to those are of struggling for English proficiency and letting them of they are worth to be !! --- This small material is taken from YCCF Forum on 14 JAN 2010 sent by Sang Hre (tikirsanghre@gmail.com). ------------------------------ "Serve with gladness"
