Keep moving

When your efforts bring the results you seek and also when they don't, keep moving. Welcome the achievements with humility, welcome the setbacks with confidence, and keep moving.

Don't use success as an excuse to rest on your accomplishments. Don't use failure as an excuse to give up.

Whatever has happened before, your best choice now is to keep moving, keep learning, keep making the effort, and keep improving. Build new value with what does work, and accumulate valuable experience from what doesn't work.

When you realize you've been distracted and wandered off course, don't let it get you down. Just accept where you are, figure out the best way forward, and quickly get going again.

When you're standing still or being pushed backward, you have no control over what happens to you. Keep moving, because the way to control your direction is to have some direction, and the more assertively you move, the more control you have.

Life's abundance is all around you, and each day brings new opportunities for fulfillment. Use every day to keep moving, and bring your best possibilities to life.
