You have a choice when you wake up each morning you can choose to be happy or you can choose to not be happy. Too often, we think this choice is out of our hands, that because of outside influences, we can't possibly be as happy as we want to be.

All of your life you've been questioning yourself - don't worry, that's normal. We question who we are and who we could become. We ponder our meaning and our ability to do something important with our lives.

If you want to get that advanced degree or a promotion at work, there are certain things you need to do. Whether your motivation comes out of success or from the final destination you will reach, it's a personal choice to motivate yourself.

Very often, you might find yourself thinking that you would do A and B, if only you were given the opportunity. But in reality, opportunity is all around you - if only you'd look and find it.

Even if we've done everything right in our lives, at some point, we are going to feel like a failure.
