" count him braver who conquers his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is the victory over self."

- Aristotle

Go

" for singles rather than home runs. They're a lot easier to hit. Besides, every four singles equals a run...and the bases are still loaded!"

- Eric Harvey


I really like this one. I think a lot of us, including myself, only keep the end in sight and what we are trying to accomplish. Along the path we get frustrated at the "steps back" so to speak that we take and forget to give credit to all that we have already accomplished towards achieving the main goal. Without the small steps the end goal would not be possible.

" the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the truth. Do the right thing because it is right. These are the magic keys to living your life with integrity."

Consider.....

" how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others."

- Jacob M. Braude

Our deepest fear.....

“ is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

Marianne Williamson /Nelson Mandela

This quote is my favorite. I have a lot of personal attachment towards it. This is the quote that I posted on my blog that Elisa left her first comment on.

Welcome

I have decided to start this blog to keep track of all thoughts that I find inpiring, uplifting, motivating, etc; this way they are all in the same spot and I can find it when I need it. I always remember a thought and can't remember who said it, where it came from or what piece of scratch paper I wrote it on. Hope they are inpiring for you.
