"'No' is a word on your path to 'yes'. Don't give up too soon; not even if well-meaning parents, relatives, friends, and colleagues tell you to get 'a real job'. Your dreams are your real job."

"I was nervous and confident at the same time, nervous about going out there in front of all those people, with so much at stake, and confident that I was going to go out there and win."
Althea Gibson

"One of the greatest handicaps is to fear a mistake. You have stopped yourself. You have to move freely into the arena, not just to wait for the perfect situation, the perfect moment. If you have to make a mistake, it's better to make a mistake of action than one of inaction. If I had the opportunity again, I would take chances."
Federico Fellini

"Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance toward the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point. Climb slowly, steadily, enjoying each passing moment; and the view from the summit will serve as a fitting climax for the journey."
Harold Melchert

"Today, on this beautiful day in which I was born 42 years ago, let the sunshine shine bright within your soul. Get out there and dust off the cobwebs of your inner most places that have not seen the light of day for many years. Polish your spirit with the best of cleaners and watch your spirit soar freely like never before. Enter those specific doorways that you have been reluctant to open, or share with someone else and walk into them with the strength and courage you have, deep within. Reach out to another human and ask if they need assistance, and in turn, let go of your pride and accept assistance with humility. Do everything in your power to make to make your day 5% better than yesterday. Life brings us many, many surprises and your life can be changed in a split second... in an instant!! Make sure you do everything possible so you have no regrets and can never say to yourself, "I wish I..." if that time does comes. Now after you read this, go to your mirror and declare to yourself that today will be your best day ever."

Happy St Patrick's Day To Everyone and keep on smiling.

"As you begin to take action toward the fulfillment of your goals and dreams, you must realize that not every action will be perfect. Not every action will produce the desired result. Not every action will work. Making mistakes, getting it almost right, and experimenting to see what happens are all part of the process of eventually getting it right."
Jack Canfield --- Submitted by Lauren C. --- New Jersey

"Believe in magic, for its as real as you and me; for it lives not in the slight of hand, but in the souls of every man, woman and child. We were born to create; from nothing we can build vast fortunes, empires and misery. The real magic is awareness of our real power and having the courage to use it. Have faith in your own abilities for they will astound you and others. Be at one with the universe, look inside yourself for answers, trust your feeling and most importantly take action, huge mind blowing action and trust that the universe has your back. Look around, nearly everything that surrounds you started as an idea in mind of a magical person; they exercised their power and created its very existence. Then you are truly magical"
Warren Giffin --- Submitted by Ann Lockhart --- England
Taken from a new publication - Warren Giffin - "I'm for Mankind". I think we all need to believe in magic at some point and it's a great empowering quote to make us all feel capable of 'magic'.

"Champions know that their success is inevitable and that the best way to forecast the future is not to follow the benchmark but to create it."

"Enthusiasm is greatest asset in the world; it is the difference between nonexistence and excellence."

"Thought leads to action, which leads to intent. Intent is the key. If it's helpful and represents your truth, it will allow your light to shine. Dust this intent on every decision you make and the path will be well lit. You must believe in your purpose with no doubts of self. Doubts will keep the cover over your light. If you choose to remove them, the possibilities are limitless by all measures and standards. If you want to share this truth, you must simply live it. All else will take care of itself. Do not be afraid. This is not something that requires the understanding and affirmation of others. It is truth."

"If I have to swim across the sea to get what I want, I will learn how to swim, then I'll swim it. If I have to climb the highest mountain to get what I want, I will learn how to climb, then I'll climb it. If I have to dive the deepest ocean to get what I want, I will learn how to dive, then I'll dive it. If I get disappointed because things did not appear as I wanted, I will learn how to accept it, then I'll try to accept it. At least now I have experienced how to swim, to climb and to dive and also how to accept everything that came from my effort. Then, I will try again to do better."

"I stand here empty, waiting to be filled. I stand here weary of days bombarded with sorrows & ill. Yet, I STAND. For I know it is not of my strength; I know it is not my will. So with my eyes fixed on the prize and a rejoicing soul, I stand with a prayerful heart, waiting for my blessing. I stand, knowing my blessing will come."
Copyright © 2009 Shane Smith
I continue to write motivational quotes... not just to inspire and encourage my friends, but to also keep myself reminded of the countless blessings in my life; that despite my challenges, I will make it. That despite my troubles, I will stand.

"Wherever you are is always the right place. There is never a need to fix anything, to hitch up the bootstraps of the soul and start at some higher place. Start right where you are."
Julia Cameron --- Submitted by George Wachira --- Kenya

"Unexpected hits may force you to your knees, or worse, knock you on your face; but if you have the courage to get back up & walk around with that 'bruise' visible for all to see, the next time it happens, people won't notice the bruise...just your dignity while you 'recover'!"
Written in 2010 by M. Goerz --- Washington

"Don't ask yourself, 'Can I?' but 'Am I willing to do what it takes?'... because yes! You can!"
Copyright © 2010 Salomon A. Quijada
I know for a fact that we are capable of reaching goals far beyond our current expectation. It does take hard work but history and personal experience has taught me that those who find the results worthwhile, have done, are doing it, and will continue to do it.

"If you can move a grain of sand a day, eventually you will move a mountain."

"Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, let them complain over what might have been, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, let them be discouraged, let them be revengeful and vindictive, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, let them become materialistic and empty, but not you. Let others become ungrateful and stop praying, but not you! Let others give up, but not you! For you know in whom you believe and you know that He is always able. Now, that's you!"
Written in 2010 by Shane Smith --- Adopted from Jim Rohn

"In life, we face difficulties and hardship because life is about striving. The people who are going to succeed are those who are able to push that extra mile, despite knowing that every sinew is at its limits. Are you willing to push that extra mile starting today?"
