A quote

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.
T.S. Elliot

Fight for your dreams - Lovely quote.

"Life is full of beauty. Notice it.
Notice the bumblebee, the small child, and the smiling faces.
Smell the rain and feel the wind.
Live your life to the fullest potential and fight for your dreams."

~ Ashley Smith

Know where you are going

I have this stuck on my wall in front of my desk - keeps me on point.
I believe it to be true.

Many years ago, the commencement speaker at a prestigious university asked all members of the graduating class who had a definite plan for their lives to hold up their hands. As he looked around the room, only three hands were raised.

Twenty-five years later, when the class held a reunion, the combined net worth of those three individuals exceeded that of the remainder of the class.

People who know where they are going always achieve far greater levels of success than those who merely drift through life, expecting circumstances to create opportunities for them. Successful people create their own opportunities by focusing on goals with an intensity that borders on obsession.

In this way, every action moves them toward their goal.

Quote of the week

I haven't added a quote for a while, so here's one I found tonight that talks about strength.
It made me think about why I am so strong in character, which made me reflect on the whopping heap of shit i've been through in my life so far...

I'm not depressed about it at all... Those be the cards that I was dealt.

It just occured to me, there really has been a lot of adversity and shit to overcome in my life and i have predominantly gone through it all alone...

That ultimately must make me what I am today.

So here it is, my quote of the week, short and to the point:

"We acquire the strength we have overcome."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Rem's Quote of the week

A really beautiful quote me thinks:

“See how nature - trees, flowers, grass - grows in silence;
see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence...
We need silence to be able to touch souls.”

Mother Teresa of Calcutta

My quote of the week

'Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word,
a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring,
all of which have the potential to turn a life around'.

-Leo Buscaglia, author (1924-1998)

A beautiful quote

"CHERISH YOUR VISION; CHERISH YOUR IDEALS;
CHERISH THE MUSIC THAT STIRS IN YOUR HEART,
THE BEAUTY THAT FORMS IN YOUR MIND,
THE LOVELINESS THAT DRAPES YOUR PUREST THOUGHTS,
IF YOU REMAIN TRUE TO THEM,
YOUR WORLD WILL AT LAST BE BUILT."

James Allen


I just thought this was a beautiful quote and was quite moved by it.
