QUOTES


I have always been a huge fan of quotes.

I have been known to sit in front of the computer for hours looking for new ones.

On Facebook this month I have been doing a Quote of the Day

In my notes section and I also write that quote on the white board in my apartment.

I have even started something that I call The Bad Day Book. Lame, I know.

I put a bunch of quotes in it that for some reason make me feel better.

I also put in pictures of my friends and family

And lyrics to music

And just some old inside jokes

And stories about things that I've done that show either accomplishment

Or gratitude

Or just how blonde I really am.

This bad day book has brought me a  lot of joy

And I would like to share a few of the quotes with you.

“Our lives are not determined by what happens to us, but how we react to what happens; not by what life brings to us, but by what we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results.”

~Anonymous

“Any change, any loss, does not make us victims. Others can shake you, surprise you, disappoint you, but they can’t prevent you from acting, from taking the situation you’re presented with and moving on. No matter where you are in life, no matter what your situation you can always do something. You always have a choice and the choice can be power.”

~Blaine Lee

“You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”

~Eleanor Roosevelt

“There comes that mysterious meeting in life when someone acknowledges who we are and what we can be, igniting the circuits of our highest potential.”

~Rusty Berkus

Title match game. Final set. Down by two. Dig deep.

The surest way not to fail is to determine to succeed.
~Richard B. Sheridan

As long as there is breath in me, that long I will persist. For now I know one of the greatest principles of success; if I persist long enough I will win.

~Og Mandino

Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.

~Og Mandino

These next couple are a couple that I've made into a full page. I guess you could say that they are a few of my favorites.

If I feel depressed I will sing.

If I feel sad I will laugh.

If I feel ill I will DOUBLE my labor.

If I feel fear I will plunge ahead.

If I feel inferior I will wear new garments.

If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice.

If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come.

If I feel incompetent I will think of past success.

If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals.

Today I will be the master of my emotions.

~Og Mandino

All your life you are told the things you cannot do.

All your life they will say you’re not good enough

or strong enough

         or talented enough;

 They will say you’re the wrong height

or the wrong weight

or the wrong type to

            play this or

         be this or

                 achieve this.

                  THEY WILL TELL YOU NO,

                     a thousand times no,

             until all the no’s become meaningless.

All your life they will tell you no, quite firmly and        very quickly, AND YOU WILL TELL THEM

                         YES!
