"Where Does Motivation Start?"

"Recipe for greatness - To bear up under loss, to fight the bitterness of defeat and the weakness of grief, to be victor over anger, to smile when tears are close, to resist evil men and base instincts, to hate hate and to love love, to go on when it would seem good to die, to seek ever after the glory and the dream, to look up with unquenchable faith in something evermore about to be, that is what any man can do, and so be great."
Zane Grey

"I understand all too well about just not feeling good enough, not feeling your best and I know there are people out there who know just what I mean - having that one thing on your mind that holds you back. Now don't see this as a ball and chain or an anchor holding you in place, see this as an old, fraying length of string that can be snapped with the right strength and frame of mind - that will and determination to break through that barrier and keep yourself on a mental high. Once you get on that high, you'll always have something to keep you from feeling your worst, that knowledge that you, yourself have the power to make yourself feel invincible again. You've proved it before so you can prove it again!"

"Like GOLD which becomes purer when passed through FIRE, like the pure form of CARBON when polished and cut, turns into beautiful DIAMOND, like a tiny SEED which faces the harsh elements to become a huge TREE, like LEARNING to swim you need to immerse yourself in WATER, Human Beings have to face CHALLENGES & COMPETITION in order to make a DIFFERENCE in others & their LIFE. So don't wait, take a plunge."

"You have two choices in this life for everything thing you confront, give up and quit or press on with enthusiasm."
Copyright © 1997 Holli Noel
When my husband died in 1997 and at the lowest point in my life, I realized I had to make only one choice, quit or press on. If I was going to press forward, I knew it had to be with enthusiasm or it would be like quitting. The thought has stayed with me, I wrote it down in a journal and read it everyday along with many other affirmations.
