I thought it would be fun if we put up some positive quotes, as a way of encouraging each other. Here are a couple to get us off to a start,

"Forget about the consequences of failure.Failure is only a temporary change of direction to set you straight for your next success"
                                                      Dennis Waitley , American productivity consultant

"Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish"
                                                      John Quincy Adams

and one I can't resist-

"Don't be afraid to go out on a limb. That is where the fruit is"

                                                      H.Jackson Browne Jr.
                                                      American marketer & author

I have 24 hours in each of my days
Just like everyone else.
It's how I choose to use those hours that
will make a difference in my days.

The most Important Promises for me to keep
are The ones I made to myself.

I will always focus on
How far I have come
rather than
How far I have to go.

From  The Book of Hope  by Richard Simmons

Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

As Long As There Are Tests, There Will Be Prayer In Public Schools.

Anyone who uses the phrase "easy as taking candy from a baby" has never tried taking candy from a baby.

Confessions may be good for the soul, but they are bad for the reputation.

If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip.

In order to keep a true perspective of one's importance, everyone should have a dog that will worship him and a cat that will ignore him.

And last but not least:

When you are asked if you can do a job, tell 'em, 'Certainly I can!' Then get busy and find out how to do it.
Theodore Roosevelt

Peace is possible for me ONLY when I LET GO of EXPECTATIONS. When I am trapped in thoughts about what I want and what should be coming to me, I'm in a state of fear or anxious anticipation. And that is not conductive to emotional health. I must surrender over and over to the Reality of my dependence on GOD. For then and ONLY then can I find peace , gratitude and spiritual security!

Trust in the Lord with all you heart
and don't lean on your own understanding;
In all you ways acknowledge Him,
and He will direct you paths.
