"Personal Development Quotes"
"It's important to know what you believe. It's more important to know why you believe it."
Written in 2007 by Tommy Taylor --- Mississippi
This is something we all must come to grips with.
What do you live for?
Life is not how you live, but what you live for
Things that we seek, things that we reap
Love we live for or the hate we die in
Providing love or being provided with it
Accepting defeats or celebrating victories
Masking sadness or happiness
Understanding or knowing
Detached or attached
Pondering upon or carefree
Taking in or giving away
Insatiably as a warrior for peace
In reality or in fantasy
To touch the rainbow or own the pot of gold
Celebrating each breath or just letting it pass by
Ultimately, it's your take on life.

"There is no such thing as failure; only experience."
Written in 2006 by Julie Jordan --- Utah
I made this thought up (as far as I know). After years and years of struggle with a variety of family issues, I realized that there was no failure in what I have done. I experienced these things that I went through and learned from them. What we do is only a learning experience. To remain positive, I had to basically re-think my attitude on things and this really helped me. I hope it helps someone else.
