Challenges lead to changes
Be creative in your life
stretch your limits - surprise yourself
Patience is bitter but its fruit is sweet
The scariest moment is just before you start
failure isn't in falling down, it's in staying down
Adopt the patient pace of nature
Perseverance is not a long race - it is many short races one after the other.
There is always something you can succeed at - Stephen Hawking
Never doubt you can fly!
Start where you are
Most of us have gears we never use.
Time doesn't change things - YOU change them
Continuous effort unlocks our potential
Limit your interests - limit your life
Create your future.
Think you can.
Either stay in the shallow end of the pool or go out into the ocean -Christopher Reeve
The future depends on what you do today
Find a way or make one
Aim above your mark to hit your mark.
It's not the load that breaks you, it's the way you carry it
Stay patient and trust your journey
You are braver, stronger and smarter than you think
Our choices show what we are - not our abilities
Go for it beyond your comfort zone!
Play the cards you hold well.
Climb your mountain to see the world
You can't cross the sea by merely looking at it.
Your only limit is YOU
Nothing Happens unless First we Dream
A path with no obstacles probably doesn't lead anywhere
Remember and Understand
Leave a trail where there is no path
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen - John F. Kennedy
Never look back unless you plan to go that way - Henry David Thoreau
It's not what you look at, it's what you see
Do the impossible
No use going back to yesterday - I was a different person then
Don't let yesterday use up too much of today
Laughter is Sunshine in the house
Let go of the life you planned and accept the one waiting for you
The things that make me different are the things that make me ME
Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it
Accomplish more - don't think of impossible
One must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower - Hans Christian Andersen
Keep your face to the sunshine and shadows will fall behind
Life is a journey to be experienced not a problem to be solved
Never doubt you can fly
Our greatest glory is in rising every time we fall - Confucius
There is always something you can do and succeed at - Stephen Hawking
The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today
When you can't change the situation, change yourself
Optimism leads to Achievement
We become what we think
Keep close to Nature
Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success
Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them.
Never ask for a lighter rain - pray for a better umbrella
What you get by achieving your goals isn't as important as what you become.
Ability - Motivation - Attitude
Ambition is a dream with a V-8 engine
Obstacles can become stepping stones
Balance - Peace - Joy - the fruit of a successful life
Be a lamp to yourself
Cheer yourself up by cheering somebody else up
Clear your mind of CAN'T
change is natural
Don't wait until you've reached your goal to be proud of yourself.
Conquer yourself
Unlock your potential with continuous effort not strength or intelligence
Courage is the triumph over fear
Some things cannot be changed but until you try, you never know!
Know where you want to go and how to get there and never never give up
Doing nothing is very hard to do
Don't give up on your dreams or your dreams will give up on you
Always do things you can't do - that's how you get to do them
You are never too old to set another goal or dream a new dream
Every day is a second chance
Find your own person and you will own independence
Focus on the journey, not the destination
Follow your heart but take your brain with you
The difference between impossible and possible lies in determination
It's not the mountain we conquer but ourselves
Face the sunshine and you won't see the shadows
Let go of what you are and become what you might be
Sometimes letting go makes you stronger than holding on
Life is about creating yourself
Life is like jazz - it's best when you improvise
Make your life an adventure - it doesn't have to be perfect
Do not be reduced by all the events that happen to you
Nothing is impossible, the word itself says I'm possible
You see obstacles when you take your eyes off the road
Great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance
Man never made any material as resilient as the human spirit
Astound yourself
Believe you can
Fun is good!
Optimism leads to achievement.
Set goals to turn the invisible into the visible
New action brings new strength
Adventures, good energy, connect, grow
Don't let what you Cannot Do interfere with what you Can Do
