What you become

“What you GET by achieving your goals is not as important as what you BECOME by achieving them.” – Henry David Thoreau

 

Think about that.

 

Instead of thinking of what you will GET when you achieve your goal, just imagine what you will BECOME.

 

I never really thought of it like that before.

 

I saw this saying and I do not think that there is a Henry David Thoreau saying that I do not love and this one is simply awesome.

 

When I really think of the person who I have become through all of my failures, struggles and defeats, I am actually happier that I went through all of that.

 

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t feel like going through all of those struggles again, but in the end, they have made me the person I am today and I would not trade them for anything.

 

Every single person reading this post has a story.

 

Every single person reading this post has had and currently has struggles.

 

But we all also have futures and opportunities and chances to become things which we have always dreamed of.

 

Be thankful for this day, be grateful for the opportunity to go out and achieve great things today and make a difference in this world or in one person’s world and let’s get up and get going because it’s go time people!!

 

Have a great day my friends!!

It goes back to what you choose to learn  from your experiences...and often the "do overs"; in life are the best teachers.

Morning Khash.

Failures, are just a part of growing you knowledge of what not to do again.  I look at them as a learning process
