Inspirational words of wisdom

A friend of mine shared this with me this morning and I thought I would share with everyone.

The future is never what we once thought it would be, but we must dream in order to find direction. We must move in order to gain perspective, and we must learn in order to change our destination and our perspective.
When you make the same mistakes over and over, you truly have not learned from them. You can not blame others for your faults if you constantly refuse to make the changes required to improve your life.
Above all else, we must take responsibility for our actions and choices we have made in life...as well as the ones we will make in the future.
Win or lose, more people stand behind you when you are honest and take responsibility for your life.
Have a great day!!!

At any given moment you have the power to decide this is not how my story ends.

Always loved this poem.

Don't Quit

Don't Quit no matter what!

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won if he'd stuck it out.
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man;
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are -
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

I've given up on fighting with my avatar and signature... lol.

But this is by and far one of my favorite all time quotes.



~ Theodore Roosevelt

Oft quoted by Brenee Brown, a very talented writer and speaker who always knows how to hit in the feels and inspire us to be better.
