We all live in glass houses


So when you throw that stone—and you will, don't be surprised when you are picking up the pieces of your own house as it shatters around you.

Build something


You'll be happier, healthier and wiser if at the end of the day, month or year if you've built something of value. If it helps others to be better—bonus.

Don't give up


Even when you really, really want to throw in the towel. Fight as if you're fighting for your life. Maybe in some ways, you really are.

Hit it hard


If you're going to do something, go at it with everything you've got.

Fail


Words such as these won't stop you from failing and falling short on a daily basis. If you aren't, then you're not really living.

Thank you for this post. As a struggling writer, I needed to read those words. Though I have been trained as a counselor and said those words to others myself, I needed them said to me. Thanks for working so hard to create such a distinctive blog. Check mine out if you have the time : www.rolandyeomans.blogspot.com.
