This is a really good one and thought provoking......

You arrive at the airline ticket counter with your bags packed and ready. You pull out a billfold full of cash, and say to the ticket agent, “I’d like a ticket, please."

"Certainly,” says the agent. “Where would you like to go?"
"Someplace nice. Where I can have a good job, make plenty of money, drive a new car, live in a big house, and have a lot of friends,” you answer.
"And exactly where would that be?” asks the agent.
"I’m not sure just yet,” you reply. “But once I get going, I should have a better idea."
"I’m sorry,” says the agent. “You obviously have enough money for a ticket to anywhere you wish to travel. However, in order to issue a ticket, I’ll need to know exactly where you intend to go. If you don’t know that, I’ll have to ask you to step aside. Next, please."
The person behind you steps up to the counter. “I’d like a ticket to Paris,” he announces.
"Certainly,” says the agent. “And how will you be paying for this?"
"I’m not sure just yet,” he answers. “But once I get going I should be able think of a way."
"I’m sorry,” replies the agent. “But I cannot issue a ticket without your payment. Next, please."

A successful journey has two essential requirements: a clear destination, and the means to get there. Your goals and dreams are the destination of your life journey. Your discipline and effort are the means of travel. Without one, the other is wasted. With both, you can go wherever you want to be.

I like this one.....................

There are many things that can hold you back. Yet there’s always a way to turn them around, into forces that move you forward.

If you ever find yourself feeling envious, take that envy and turn it into inspiration. The envy will do nothing for you, but the inspiration can make an enormous positive difference.

When despair comes upon you, transform it into strength. When you’ve experienced a defeat, redirect its energy into commitment.

Take the pain of humiliation and let it spur you to build a real, lasting confidence. When you’ve experienced disappointment, turn it into wisdom.

Transform your most irritating frustrations into rock solid discipline. Change your negative anger into positive determination.

There’s never any need to be tossed around by the fickle winds of fate. For you can take what life gives you, and turn it in your favor.

— Ralph Marston
