Feelin a little discouraged has been a reoccuring theme over the past few days. Every now and again I like to read inspirational quotes and poetry to give me a lift and motivation, or just to realise that someone else has been there before...
"Success is usually earned by persevering and not becoming discouraged when we encounter challenges. Paul Harvey, the famous news analyst and author, once said: 'Someday I hope to enjoy enough of what the world calls success so that someone will ask me, "What's the secret of it?" I shall say simply this: "I get up when I fall down" ' (quoted in Marvin J. Ashton, Conference Report, Oct. 1981, 126)."
"If I were asked to give what I consider the single most useful bit of advice for all humanity, it would be this: Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life, and when it comes, hold your head high. Look it squarely in the eye, and say, "I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me." ~ Ann Landers
"It's not whether you get knocked down. It's whether you get up again." ~ Vince Lombardi
"Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no help at all." ~ Dale Carnegie
"I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much." ~ Mother Teresa
"The true measure of a man is not how he behaves in moments of comfort and convenience but how he stands at times of controversy and challenges." ~ Martin Luther King Jr.
May peace and love be with you...
