Quote of the Day.

One that would have the fruit must climb the tree.

-Thomas Fuller

Mistake

These are words that a wise elder once shared with me. It summed up, in few words, an answer to a question I once had about mistakes I once made.

Everything, absolutely every mistake we experience has a purpose, a lesson embedded into it that we can learn from.

If we are willing to learn from it and let it go, we not only feel that much freer, we grow that much wiser.

Quote of the Day.

Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today.

-James Dean

For those..

For those who wish to see you fall... be there to catch others who do. For those who try to bring you down... do what you can to lift others up. For those who are waiting for you to fail... cheer others on toward their success.

For those who gossip about you behind your back... to others always be up front. For those who hate on you, remain loving. For those who deceive you, remain honest...

Transform

Transform fear into courage, failure into success, hurt into passion and anger into fuel for positive action.

Remember. Life isn’t meant to be easy. It’s meant to be lived. Sometimes happy. Sometimes tough. But with life’s ups and downs you only grow wiser and that much stronger!

Smile... life’s too short. ☺️

Hold your head high. Rise up and stand strong!

Strength and courage

Yes there will be times when it seems like life is falling apart but if you believe in yourself, you’ll have the strength and courage to put it all back together. Always remember, you have what it takes to face whatever life presents you with. Though it may be tough today, time will bring better tomorrows.

Just stay strong and be confident!

Quote of the Day.

We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.

-Khalil Gibran

Be

Be compassionate with those who are homeless... it may be for reasons you can't relate to.

Be tolerant with those who err... they may lack the understanding you have to not make the same mistake.

Be patient with those who are insecure... it's not something that changes overnight.

Be forgiving of those who once hurt you... they may have only repeated the same hurt once brought ...

Quote of the Day.

Think in the morning. Act in the noon. Eat in the evening. Sleep in the night.

-William Blake

Change takes courage

We all reach those points in our lives when we'll outgrow certain people, places and things. 

As much as we try to hold on, we'll eventually have to accept what is meant to be. 

There’s an old saying that states “stagnant waters grow murky”and we all know murky waters grow thick. Thick waters become deep and deep waters can cause us to get stuck. 

So if we...

Quote of the Day.

The undertaking of a new action brings new strength.

-Richard L. Evans

Remember

Remember, the only person who can stop you from living the life you want to is YOU! So don't let others negativity bring you down. Let them motivate you. Let them drive you. Let them inspire, ignite and light that fire inside you! Whatever you do, don't let them hold you back from doing what you want to in life.

Quote of the Day.

Excellence is not a skill, it's an attitude.

-Ralph Marston

Rise up!

Rise up! Stand up! Walk tall and hold your head up! YOU are the one in control of YOU and YOU have what it takes to succeed!!

Quote of the day

“Bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid. Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. Motivation is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it.”

In Flanders Fields

BY JOHN MCCRAE

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw su...
