6 things my dad taught me that I need to remember

  1. There is a hidden treasure inside every problem.  It’s your job to find it.
  2. Nothing is impossible. The word itself says “I’m Possible.”
  3. If you want to get over a problem, stop mulling it over and talking about it.  Your mind affects your mouth, and your mouth affects your mind.  It’s nearly impossible to move beyond something when you’re obsessing over it.
  4. Worrying is like a rocking in a chair: it keeps you busy, but doesn’t get you anywhere.
  5. Being defeated is often a temporary condition.  Giving up is what makes it permenant.  
  6. The one who wins the race in the long run is usually not the strongest or the fastest, but the one who has tried the hardest.
