There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it.
― George Bernard Shaw
These are powerful words! One would think that gaining your heart's desire would bring satisfaction and fulfillment, however, many times once we attain what we sought, we find that we lose something of value along the way.
Take time to self-reflect to ensure that you are going in the direction that will bring not only success but joy and satisfaction to your life.
For me, when I take time to self-reflect, I try and remember the times that life took a down-turn and got tough. Then my thoughts turn towards how I can improve and make a positive impact. I think about how I can adapt and change my behavior in the way in which I approach life and situations. Positive... and beneficial to living life well...
These thoughts and actions teach me that peace exists alongside ambition and success. And always... there is hope; hope that life and circumstances will improve.🕊️
