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."
Dale Carnegie
"I have searched for many years for the definition of Success, in the context of leading a successful life. It turns out that there are as many definitions as there are seekers and that success lies as much in the attempt as in the achievement." ~ Anonymous
Attitude makes the difference. The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think, say or do. It is more important than appearance, gifted ability, or skill. It will make or break a company, church or home.
The remarkable thing is, we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace from that day. We cannot change our past, we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing that we can do is play on the one string that we have and this string is attitude. I am convinced that life is ten percent what happens to me and ninety percent how I react to it. And so it is with you. WE ARE IN CHARGE OF OUR ATTITUDES!
-- Charles Swindoll
"Desire is the key to motivation, but it's the determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek." ~ Mario Andretti
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that frightens us. Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
- Nelson Mandela, inaugural address, written by Marianne Williamson
