Over the years I've learned a thing or two in various ways and methods; the lessons haven't always been pleasant to acquire, but have also come in less difficult ways - in truth though, the best or most valuable lessons were gained from the most difficult times. 

Whether those lessons came in ways that were good, bad or indifferent what's been consistent throughout is that they all helped the next day, week, month, year and decade be better, easier or more productive (and made me better equipped for the future) and that's what has led me to this point in time at which I can say, *I've led a happy, enjoyable and meaningful life as I see it.* And all because I linked those lessons together one by one.

A lot of things have combined to teach me those lessons and there's many elements to the lessons themselves so narrowing down to just a few is difficult however there's a phrase I said a long while ago when I was addressing a group/unit of people I was leading at the time and I liked it so later wrote it down as best as I could remember. I felt it might be nice to share here in the hope someone might see and understand it then work out how the concept might apply to their own life so here it is, or at least a paraphrased version of it:

*"Find your focus, clarify and sharpen it, as through focused mind and actions you'll discover discipline. A strong sense of discipline will generate into habits and behaviours which will carry you forward more confidently. Habitual behaviours lead to consistency so make your habits good ones and those that move us towards set goals and outcomes. Through consistently applying those principles and the elements required for each, optimal results and an acceptable level of success will be unlocked. You are the key."*

Have you ever come across a phrase, *or come up with one yourself*,  or linked a series of concepts together to create a tangible and positive effect upon your life? If so, what is it, how did you come by it and how has it changed your life, or other's? Feel free to comment below.
