Tony Robbins on Decision

A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided.

Cultivate the emotions of appreciation and gratitude. These are among the most spiritual emotions we can have, and they enhance our lives more than almost anything I know. Live with an attitude of gratitude!

Dr. Seuss on Imagination

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.

Anne Lamott on Life Experience

You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should’ve behaved better.

Mandy Hale on Repartee

Don't waste words on people who deserve your silence. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can say is nothing at all.

Respond. Don't React.

Alfred Tennyson on Resolve

Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.


Alfred Tennyson
From Ulysses

Robert Frost on Free Will

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth:
 
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

We Are The Champions

I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand
Kicked in my face
But I've come through

And we mean to go on and on and on and on

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting
Till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the World


I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune
And everything that goes with it
I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before
The whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose

And we mean to go on and on and on and on

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting
Till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the World

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting
Till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions

Follow your passion and know your purpose.  Never settle and always be a student.  Keep your ego in check and leave folks better than you found them.
