Inspirational Quote Post

Feel free to grab quotes from anywhere on the net. All you need is to copy the quote and who said it.

I personally read 3-5 quotes every 2 hours during the business day to remind myself to reach for greatness, and I look forward to turning this discussion into a section of the network that will inspire us all.

"Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get."

Sit up straight. Lift your head up. Lift your eyes. Take a long, deep breath, and smile. Though things may be far from perfect for you, act like it's a great day to be alive.
Because it is.
Keep a smile on your face and in your voice. Put a spring in your step. Act like you would act if you were the most confident, successful, joyful person in your town. Speak toothers in kind and positive terms. Think and speak to yourself the same way.
Embrace the challenges and see their positive possibilities.
There is no need to delay, even for another moment, the fulfillment that life can bring. See the world around you for what it is, and know that it cannot bring you down. Live
today as if it is the best day you could possibly imagine. And in doing that you make it so.

or whining self-pity, but as a remedy, a miracle drug, that
will ease your pain, cure your depression, and help you to
put in perspective that seemingly terrible defeat and worry
with laughter at your predicaments, thus freeing your mind to
think clearly toward the solution that is certain to come."

hand, my importance to myself is tremendous. I am all I have
to work with, to play with, to suffer and to enjoy. It is not
the eyes of others that I am wary of, but of my own. I do not
intend to let myself down more than I can possibly help, and
I find that the fewer illusions I have about myself or the
world around me, the better company I am for myself."

imaginations, they think ahead and create their mental
picture, and then go to work materializing that picture
in all its details, filling in here, adding a little
there, altering this a bit and that a bit, but steadily
building -- steadily building."

expressing, then we truly live life."
