Problems

I just saw this on my friend Shelly's FB page and INSTANTLY LOVED IT! "Problems are not stop signs." Simple. True. Brilliant.

Power within

“ The only lifelong, reliable motivations are those that come from within, and one of the strongest of those is the joy and pride that grow from knowing that you've just done something as well as you can do it. ” Lloyd Dobens

Motivation

When you face your fear, most of the time you will discover that it was not really such a big threat after all. We all need some form of deeply rooted, powerful motivation - it empowers us to overcome obstacles so we can live our dreams. Les Brown

Fitness

I've never regretted doing a workout but have often regretted skipping them.

It seems like oftentimes it is a matter of choice.

“What running teaches is that we can get from where we are to where we want to be, but we have to get there a day at a time.” John Bingham .

Decide

"You are the person who has to decide. Whether you'll do it or toss it aside; you are the person who makes up your mind. Whether you'll lead or will linger behind. Whether you'll try for the goal that's afar. Or just be contented to stay where you are." ~ Edgar A. Guest

cool frank lloyd wright quotes

"The Thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a Thing makes it happen." “I believe in God, only I spell it Nature.” *Thanks Stacey for sharing!

That's what it's all about!

"My wife and I have an agreement in our marriage, and part of that contract is that we are going to shine our lights on each other.” Ashton Kutcher on his marriage to Demi Moore.

Focus

Whatever we focus on is bound to expand. Where we see the negative, we call forth more negative. And where we see the positive, we call forth more positive. Having loved and lost, I now love more passionately. Having won and lost, I now win more soberly. Having tasted the bitter, I now savor the sweet. -Marianne Williamson

Sentimental

"There's this place in me where your fingerprints still rest, your kisses still linger, and your whispers softly echo. It's the place where a part of you will forever be a part of me." - Gretchen Kemp

Discovery

"You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself." —Alan Alda

It all happened for a reason.

"What you thought before has led to every choice you have made, and this adds up to you at this moment. If you want to change who you are physically, mentally, a spiritually, you will have to change what you think." -Dr. Patrick Gentempo

Why I haven't read his books is beyond me.

“That fundamentally undermines your ability to access the best part of your instincts. So my advice to those people would be stop thinking and introspecting so much and do a little more acting.” Malcolm Gladwell (emphasis is allllllllllll mine).

This is a good reminder for me these days.

Worrying about something that may never happen is like paying interest on money you may never borrow. ~Unknown

Watchful

"Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny." —Laozi (Lao-tzu)

Impressions

"Live so that when your children think of fairness, caring and integrity, they think of you." -H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

The pursuit of happiness

"Some pursue happiness, others create it. " -Anonymous

Stuck in my head.

"Buy the ticket, take the ride."

Easier said than done.

"The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing in the right place, but to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment." — Lady Dorothy Nevi

That Gilda was a wise woman.

“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what is going to happen next.” -Gilda Radner
