The victories bring joy, and new opportunities. The defeats bring wisdom, strength, determination... and new opportunities. In this way, life moves continually forward. In each moment, you can build upon whatever has come before.
Sometimes things happen just as you expected they would. And then there are times when nothing goes the way you had it planned. In any event, there is a way to respond triumphantly. There is a way to gain value from it all.
Learn to see the value no matter what outer conditions and circumstances may be concealing it. Know that there is value, and you will find it.
Right now, you are where you are supposed to be. For right now, you are where you can truly make a difference. The ups and downs and ins and outs of life have brought you to this day. And on this day, you can make something beautiful out of it all.

Courage
Where does courage come from? What brings courage to life? Courage is the commitment to do what you know is right. Courage arises when your integrity will not allow any other choice. Courage comes from following a purpose that goes beyond your petty concerns. Because of that, courage gives far-reaching power and consequence to your actions. In the short term, courage can often appear foolish.
In the long run, courage has the power to move the whole world in a positive direction. Courage asks much of you, yet it is not complicated and is always within your reach. Courage is truth put into action. In every moment, courage is there for you to choose. In every moment, courage is the choice that will fulfill the best of who you are.
Listen to your critics and learn what you can from them. But don't let them dissuade you from what you know is best. A bright and shining vision has value only when you have the courage to follow it. When you know that it is the thing to do, then step up and do it. Pay attention to what others have to say, without becoming a slave to their opinions of you. Consider differing and diverse perspectives, while keeping the substance of your most deeply held values intact.
Much of the effort of achievement is in keeping yourself focused. Choose to intentionally make that effort, to maintain that focus, and all the rest will more readily fall into place. Though the world may seem to be against you at times, keep in mind that you are working to make that world a better place. Start to show some progress, and others will soon be buying into your vision. Remember who you are, where you've come from, and the real value of what you have to offer. Then step forward, with renewed courage and commitment, and make it real.

Untapped Value - Ralph Marston
Go a little bit beyond what you know you can do, and you'll discover you can do more. Go a little bit beyond what is comfortable for you, and your horizons will begin to expand.
Get away from the routine, and you'll start to see the world more clearly. Give more than what's expected, and you'll find you can expect more from yourself.
Stretch yourself, and feel yourself becoming more flexible, more capable, more confident and effective. Question yourself, challenge yourself, and become more aware of who you truly are.
Life can move quickly ahead when you decide to move ahead with it. Yet if you persist in standing still, you'll end up falling behind.
There is immense untapped value in your life that is eager to be unleashed. Give a little more, go a little beyond, rise to greater and greater challenges, and you'll bring that untapped value to the surface.
There is far more to you than you know. Let it all come to life
