"MOTIVATION"



"Endurance is the spirit which can bear things, not simply with resignation, but with blazing hope. It is a quality which keeps a man on his feet with his face to the wind. It is the virtue which can transmute the hardest trial into glory because beyond the pain, it sees the goal."
Author Unknown --- Submitted by Renae H. --- Australia
Sometimes life can get you down but I've learnt that perspective is so important. Look at the big picture. Sure, things may be tough today, but you never know what tomorrow will bring.

"Lost game, not heart."
Written in 2008 by S. Lane --- Wisconsin
When you lose, you lost a game. Maybe it was a game that meant a whole lot to a whole lot of people, but you didn't lose something that was irreplaceable. I'd say that's a good thing, don't you think?

"Nothing great was ever achieved by being realistic!"
Tom Venuto --- Submitted by Brett J. --- Ohio

"Have courage to let the STAR inside of you SHINE! It can light the pathway of others in need of light!"
Copyright © 2008 Michelle W. Seamons
Too many times we hide our light under rocks, in the fear of rejection from others. It takes true courage to share and to let your light from inside shine. We all have one. Is someone else's light too dim for them to see their way? Are you willing to share yours?

"I've learned to love without being loved, I've sang without a voice, I've touched without hands, I've seen the light without eyes, I've smiled without lips, and I've smelled without a nose.

Choose based on your needs and not your wants."
