"After all the hard work...even if you fail, remember that there was a little girl inside...live your life for her."
Written in 2005 by Cindy L. --- North Carolina
I was inspired to write this quote when I thought about all the people in the world who have worked and worked for something but they might've failed in the end. I know it's hard but I think that they should still go on with their life.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself! Surrender to GOD and take one day at a time. I will also try to do the same.
"Pain is a personal invitation from a loving God for you to get to know Him more."

I just let go of someone I've loved for years. He was the first guy I've ever been in love with but things just didn't work the way I envisioned it to be. The pain is real... something that I don't think anybody would understand unless they have loved somebody the way I loved him. At times I find myself begging God to just ease me of the pain inside... but then I realize that growing involves a lot of pain. I don't want to stop growing... I want to be the best that I can be in my lifetime. And so to God (my Daddy-up-there) I say, "Bring it on... it's okay to let 'hurts' come my way... as long as You are there holding my hand and leading the way." And He has... He's great!!!
"Every little thing that happens in our life is an opportunity to grow towards something greater. We shall not fear evil, weakness or loneliness, because even in the worse times God is there with us, telling our hearts to find the way. Nothing is really bad; it's just a bridge to see the wonderful opportunities you get when you learn that you are a beautiful creature and that the universe is there for you to take the best out of everything."

"Fear knocked at my door and faith answered...and when I went to open the door, there was no one there. Fears, like babies, grow larger by nursing them. We should act in spite of fear and not because of fear."

"Shall you succeed in life and achieve ambitions, do for others what others did not do for you and rest assured life will be as meaningful and divine as GOD thought it to be."

My own thought after going through the pages of your site and after submitting my previous quote. I really like that the citizens of our planet are helping each other to feel good. So shall I also contribute a drop.

This is a quote I thought of a few days ago, just a different way of thinking about adversity. Hope it helps someone out there.

Greet it with laughter
What fate sends to you
If clouds, then right after
Are the skies clear and blue.
It's all in a lifetime -
Joy, sorrow and pain;
There never is a rainbow till after the rain.

"I believe that there is a light that burns within each of us. We each have the power within ourselves to choose to use the positive energy, which surrounds us daily, to keep our fires burning brightly! This positive energy will always be the fuel that drives us and others, through the storms of life, onto our ultimate desired destiny!"

I was inspired to write this one, during the 'Winter Olympics' in 2002. It was so inspirational, seeing the 'torch' being 'passed' on the relay, then going right to the stadium to see the flame burning! There was a real powerful, positive energy surrounding it.... people were quiet around it, like they respected and just enjoyed it's beauty and what it represented!
"Memento Mori."
Author Unknown --- Submitted by Simon Heighwaya --- United Kingdom
These Latin words mean "Remember that one day you will die" or "Remember that you are mortal". To me, this also translates as "Remember to Live", now. If not now, when??? If you look at the palms of your hands you will see that God has given you a 'natural tattoo'. There is an 'M' on the palm of each hand...'Memento Mori'... and this is God's way of saying, "Don't wait, don't put it off, don't be afraid... Do it now!! Carpe Diem!!" The only way to transcend any fear of death is to live fully and completely.
