"You're a lifetime of experiences, happiness and heartbreaks.... You've been through all the good and the bad to arrive at this very moment right now... And from this moment on, take all you know and live life to the fullest... Go for your dreams right now by doing the best you can with what you have... You already have what you think you need to succeed, deep within you... Now, go on... You can do it." -Me-

Fear less, hope more,

Whine less, breathe more,

Talk less, say more,

Hate less, love more and

All good things are yours...

My favorite inspiration is still Kipling's "If"...



"If" by Rudyard Kipling.

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

I have followed my dream... I have bled, sweated and cried, literally the blood, sweat and tears... I have been helped and betrayed by those close to me... I have both surprised and disappointed myself... I've done right and I've done wrong by some... I have laughed and cried... But... Given up I have not, for this is simply, my dream... I am on my way still... Thank you for the love and thank you even for the hate... I have followed my dream...

I have been critized for starting this thread by some.

Why bother posting kind words?

Why?

If it did soothe an aching heart, ease a difficult journey, embrace a lonely soul, even if just a bit... Then it was worth posting. It may not mean much to some, but it means a lot to those in need of it and that means the world to me. - Me -

1) "Every choice you make has an end result."

2) "Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. We all have twenty-four hour days."

4) "People don't buy for logical reasons. They buy for emotional reasons."

5) "A goal properly set is halfway reached."

6) "If you want to reach a goal, you must 'see the reaching' in your own mind before you actually arrive at your goal."

7) "Remember that failure is an event, not a person. Yesterday ended last night."

8) "If you learn from defeat, you haven't really lost."

12) "When obstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your goal; you do not change your decision to get there."

13) "You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want."

16) "For every sale you miss because you’re too enthusiastic, you will miss a hundred because you’re not enthusiastic enough."

Live in the moment. Yesterday is no more. Tomorrow has yet to arrive. There is only today. There is only now really. Life is a gift.

That's why it's called the present.

When life throws lemons at you, make lemonade...

When the power is out, the electricity breaks down, have a candle light dinner...

Life's pleasures are a matter of perspective really.

Some see the rain as a sign that we have to be cooped up, some just dance in it...
