" All your life you are told the things you cannot do.
All your life they will say you're not good enough
Or strong enough or talented enough.
They'll say you're the wrong height or the wrong weight
Or the wrong type to play this or be this or achieve this.
THEY WILL TELL YOU NO, a thousand times no
Until all the no's become meaningless.
All your life they will tell you no, quite firmly and very quickly.
They will tell you no
AND YOU WILL TELL THEM YES."

DESCRIPTIVE LOVE

" When love enters a room
She is dressed in comfortable garments
Her garments shine with understanding
Her heart reaches out to anyone in need
Love is wrap in commitment
Love will always be your friend
Mercy is in her hands
Truth is on her lips
A word of kindness on her tongue
Love will not be out done
The story of love may be told like this
In the mist of betrayal, despair, heartache,
Failure and success love was there
Moreover love will conquer all
Remember love will not leave you in despair
In times when you are not treated fair love will be there
Love is dress for success and will pass each test
Hardship will come your way
Dress yourself in love today"

" There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life."

" Life is a journey, not a single destination
We are all searching for happiness.

It's ok to feel 'lost' sometimes,
As it is in these lost times that we go inside ourselves
And find more of our hidden potential.

The next time you feel like life is going nowhere,
Take some quiet time to listen to the awesome power inside you.

It's there, just waiting to come out."

Learn to say no, so your yes has some oomph. Spend time with the friends who lift you up, and cut loose the ones who bring you down. Stop giving your power away. Be more concerned with being interested than being interesting. Be old enough to appreciate your freedom, and young enough to enjoy it. Finally know who you are."

I have begun everything with the idea that I could succeed, and I
never had much patience with the multitudes of people who are always
ready to explain why one cannot succeed. I have always had a high
regard for the man who could tell me how to succeed.

" There can be no growth without a change. There is equally no sustainable change without a growth. This implies growth and change are intermingling. But a change is never easy initially. It often comes with anxiety, loss and sometimes pains. Nevertheless, when a change is given a chance, its end result is most times worth the pains that come with it. So pave way for a positive change. Better still, an attitudinal change because a change that begins with ones attitude is always effectual and perpetual too. Therefore, this is a call to imbibe an attitudinal change spirit, whoever you are and wherever you are."

When things are roughest
When that voice inside of you is saying...
"Just Give Up"
Don't l isten
Don't quit
Never settle for mediocrity

Don't give up
Just because your critics don't think you're qualified
Because if you are healthy, you are qualified
Even if you aren't, you must persist
Because you are a champion

You were made an over comer
Nothing can stop you
Program it into your mind
That you are the best, not arrogant

Help others
Love everyone
These are the qualities of a winner

Be strong
Be the champion god made you

" Your success is not defined against another, nor is it defined by another's idea of success, but by what YOU aspire to be, by what YOU achieve and by getting to where YOU want to be. Do not measure yourself against another. Focus on what it is that YOU alone want to do, where YOU want to go, and what YOU want from life. For if you don't follow your own heart, dreams and goals, you'll always feel as though you fall short. The only person that YOU should aspire to be better than is yourself. That is what drives you as an individual to achieve what you define as success."

" Why do we have friends, why do we have a family, why do we need festivals? It's because we know how much we fear loneliness. It's hard to stay alone, be alone and live alone. That's why we need that group of people who make us feel wanted because we are God's greatest, favorite and special creation."

" You can't base your life on other people's expectations."
Stevie Wonder --- Submitted by George Wachirah



" Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent. Remember to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak, and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind. AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."

--- Mother Theresa --- Submitted by Samantha S. --- Texas


" Disappointment and trouble are often the way (instruments) in which we are fashioned for better and bigger things to come. You must never give up. Life never takes away from us without giving something better in its place. Life is not a straight and easy corridor; the road is not always smooth and unhampered. Many times our paths are like a maze of passages through which we must seek, search, and find our way.
At times we find our way and then are confused - at one time we find ourselves on a freeway and then again in a blind alley. But always, if we have faith, God will open another door. Perhaps not the door we thought was the best but another door, which HE knows is the best, that will take us to a greater and more useful destination.
Out of my deepest hurts have come my greatest strengths. If the door you hoped for has closed, try the other one -- it just could be the pathway that could lead to the greatest fulfillment of your dreams."

" Let the trials of life and the hardships of your past be your motivation. Let the hot summery days and the cold winter knights bring you hope that there will be better days. Be motivated for the unborn child; be motivated for the child that you gave life. Find motivation in knowing that consistency is important. Find motivation in knowing that you never gave in and you never gave up. The motivation that lingers over your head like a Halo, and aches your stomach to the core as it dwells in a place where there is no room to breathe. Be motivated by the ancestors that paved the way for you. Find motivation in the things that you have done and once thought you could not do. Be motivated to see every day without fear, with your sword and shield. Being motivated is something that is really hard to do. However, once you have mastered this area in your life... Motivation will come with ease."

" I believe life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment, and life's greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate a never-ending commitment to act until they achieve. This level of resolve can move mountains, but it must be constant and consistent. As simplistic as this may sound, it is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret."
Anthony Robbins
