“You are now at a crossroads. This is your opportunity to make the most important decision you will ever make. Forget your past. Who are you now? Who have you decided you really are now? Don't think about who you have been. Who are you now? Who have you decided to become? Make this decision consciously. Make it carefully. Make it powerfully." 

-A. Robbins

“Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.” - R.W. Emerson ♥

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense." R.W. Emerson

‎"At the end of the day, it comes down to this. The way we choose to see ourselves, it limits who we can be. Step outside the box, and you might learn something. Because we are more capable then we imagine. Because we all have it in us to do things we've never done before. Because sometimes we can surprise even ourselves."

When an American says that he loves his country, he means not only that he loves the New England hills, the prairies glistening in the sun, the wide and rising plains, the great mountains, and the sea. He means that he loves an inner air, an inner light in which freedom lives and in which a man can draw the breath of self-respect. ~Adlai Stevenson

“The keys to patience are acceptance and faith. Accept things as they are, and look realistically at the world around you. Have faith in yourself and in the direction you have chosen.” -Ralph Marston

"So be sure when you step, Step with care and great tact. And remember that life’s A Great Balancing Act." -Dr. Seuss

‎"It isn’t what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about." – Dale Carnegie ♥

‎"Our days are happier when we give people a bit of our heart rather than a piece of our mind." :)

"To change your life, you need to change your priorities." -John C. Maxwell

"Open your heart - open it wide; someone is standing outside." Mary Engelbreit
Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight.  Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward.  Your life will never be the same again.  ~Og Mandino
Sometimes someone says something really small, and it just fits right into this empty place in your heart. 
"Our thoughts and words are like the rudder of a ship—they may seem small, but they affect the very direction of our lives."
Love someone who doesn't deserve it.
The only people with whom you should try to get even are those who have helped you.  ~John E. Southard

“Don't let yesterday use up too much of today.”

 Will Rogers 
Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there. 
Will Rogers
It’s true we don’t know what we’ve got until its gone, but we don’t know what we’ve been missing until it arrives.
All alone! Whether you like it or not, alone is something you’ll be quite a lot.
Dr. Seuss
