"Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them -- every day begin the task anew."

~Saint Francis de Sales

"I believe every person in our life, 

every relationship, everything is

there for a reason and when you

really pay attention there are certain

little clues we get. It's so crystal

clear what the next step is, it's just

this puzzle and everything is in its

right place and as we grow we take

the next step, the dots get

connected and we eventually

become what we are supposed to be."

~Beyonce, Life Is But A Dream

Go For It

River Seine by Jon Arnold

"Decide that you want it more than you are afraid of it."

~Bill Cosby

Me Too!!!

"I'm not sure what I'll do, but - well, I want to go places and see people. I want my mind to grow. I want to live where things happen on a big scale."

Courage

via KaJ Design

“The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people.” 

― Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture

Be Great

"Forget about good.

Good is a known quantity.

Good is what we all agree on.

As long as you stick to good,

you'll never have real growth."

~Bruce Mau, designer

Dream

Delight by Theresa Durant

"Always dream and 

shoot higher than 

you know you can do.

Don't bother to 

just be better than your 

contemporaries or predecessors. 

Try to be better than 

yourself."

~William Faulkner

Once upon a time the building above was the American Radiator building. In 2001 it was converted into The Bryant Park Hotel. Somehow I've never seen this when visiting NYC. Clearly, I need to schedule a trip ASAP!

Hope

"Hope is both the earliest and the most indispensable virtue inherent in the state of being alive. If life is to be sustained hope must remain, even where confidence is wounded, trust impaired."

~Erik H. Erikson

"It will hurt. 

It will take time. 

It will require dedication. 

It will require willpower. 

You will need to make healthy decisions. 

It requires sacrifice.

You will need to push your body to its max.

There will be temptation.

But, I promise you, when

you reach your goal, it's

WORTH IT!"

pulling it backward. So when life is dragging

you back with difficulties,

it means that it's going to launch

into something great. So just

focus, and keep aiming."

Excuses

"In any given area of life, we have one of two things: reasons or results, excuses or experiences, stories or successes, justifications or justice. We either have what we want, or we have ironclad, airtight, impenetrable reasons why it was not even marginally possible to get it."

~John Rogers/Peter McWilliams

Goals

"A goal is what we want. Methods are the ways of getting it. A goal is our heart's desire. Methods are the actions, information, things and behaviors we use to get it."

Happiness

Aren't they precious? via Here

“Happiness consists more in small conveniences or pleasures that occur every day, than in great pieces of good fortune that happen but seldom.”

~Benjamin Franklin
