"A Positive Thought For Today"
"To all people of the world who like to run, I have something to tell you! When the road stares at you - Be Bold and stare back. When the hills hit you - Fight back. When the pain tries to stop you - Fight back. When the miles become long - Hold on. When the heat becomes unbearable - Hold on. Focus and remember: You are a runner and you are a warrior - Always Fight back."

"There may be a thousand reasons not to do it, but if there is one reason in your heart to do that something you only dream about, that others may laugh at or tell you it is impossible, then make the decision to do it. That one decision...that one idea, that you never thought possible, is planted inside of you for a reason. Go beyond yourself and make the invisible...visible. Believe in yourself and what is in your heart. Once you do that, anything you believe in will become a reality."

"Have you ever been intimidated by someone? They don't have to be doing anything intimidating... just someone whom you envy? You find yourself secretly wanting to be like them? STOP IT!

Life is a string of moments
Millions upon millions
Not one less precious than the other
Each significant in their own way
Some...more significant than others

"Remember... nothing is final. Every day that you wake up is a new opportunity to paint something new on the "canvas of your life". If you do not care much for the picture you started yesterday, start a new one; it is yours to paint. Just remember that when it is all said and done, and you are "done" with your picture, make sure it is pleasing to the eye and you are smiling because that is how people are going to remember you for eternity."
Written in 2010 by Becky Ritz --- Florida
