Don't Worry About the People in Your Past There's a Reason They Didn't Make It to Your Future...

Find something you're passionate about and keep tremendouslyinterested in it. Julia Child

Happy he who learns to bear what he cannot change. Johann Friedrich Von Schiller

We learn from failure much more than from success; we oftendiscover what we will do by finding our what we will not do; and probablyhe who never made a mistake never made a discovery. Samuel Smiles(1812-1904, Scottish author)

The only people who never fail are those who never try. Ilka Chase

Focus more on your desire than on your doubt, and the dream willtake care of itself. You may be surprised at how easily this happens. Yourdoubts are not as powerful as your desires, unless you make them so. Marcia Wieder(American speaker, trainer, author)

Learning is finding out what you already know. Doing isdemonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that theyknow it just as well as you. You are all learners, doers, teachers. Richard Bach(1936-, American author)

Buttprints

Buttprints in the Sand

One night I had a wondrous dream,
One set of footprints there was seen,
The footprints of my precious Lord,
But mine were not along the shore.

But then some strange prints appeared,
And I asked the Lord, "What have we here?"
Those prints are large and round and neat,
"But Lord, they are too big for feet."

"My child," He said in somber tones,
"For miles I carried you along.
I challenged you to walk in faith,
But you refused and made me wait."

"You disobeyed, you would not grow,
The walk of faith, you would not know,
So I got tired, I got fed up,
And there I dropped you on your butt."

"Because in life, there comes a time,
When one must fight, and one must climb,
When one must rise and take a stand,
Or leave their butt prints in the sand."
