    I have so many, but off the top of my head and without the help of any morning coffee yet, here it goes:

    From Disney's Ratatouille
    "Change is nature.... The part that we can influence. And it starts when we decide."

    From Disney's Meet the Robinsons
    "Keep moving forward."

    Unknown but said to me from a friend
    "When you know better, you do better."

    Unknown but said to me from a friend
    "Words are just words, our actions define us."

    From Jeremiah 29:11
    “I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

    From Psalm 19:14
    "May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer."

    Purposeful
    When things become difficult, remember why you started in the first
    place. Even if there's nothing else to sustain your efforts a
    compelling reason can keep you going.

    In dealing with the challenges that come your way, it can be easy to
    lose sight of the purpose behind your efforts. take the time to
    reaffirm your commitment to that purpose and you gain renewed
    strength to meet the many challenges

    The energy needed for discipline, for commitment, for effectiveness,
    for creativity comes from following a meaningful compelling purpose.
    remember why, for it helps you to determine how and to put that
    strategy into action.

    Remember why and you can find the strength to persist. Remember why
    and you'll figure out a way to get the resources that you need.

    You are at your best when following a noble and meanful purpose.
    all that you are, can be brought to bear when the reason is solidly
    connected to who you are.

    Remember why and you'll have what it takes to get it done.

    Your mission

    Discipline is the fuel of achievement. Creativity sparks the flame,
    passion fans the fire and discipline keeps it going for as long as it
    takes.

    Disciplining yourself can be tedious, annoying, inconvenient and even
    agonizing. and yet, the results brought about by self discipline
    cannot be reached in any other way. Discipline puts your most
    incredible dreams within reach. with self discipline, you can make
    the best of your possibilities come to life.

    but how to you bring yourself to that level of discipline. you get
    there by knowing what you absolutely must do, and knowing that
    through self discipline you can make it happen. what do you know in
    your heart that you are truly meant to accomplish? when you
    experience life as a mission, the discipline you need will be there.

    Discipline and focus applied consistently over time can take you to
    truly amazing places. where is it that you are uniquely situated to
    go?

    Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't.

    Friendship with oneself is all-important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

    I think that somehow, we learn who we really are and then live with that decision.

    If someone betrays you once, it’s their fault; if they betray you twice, it’s your fault.

    It is not fair to ask of others what you are unwilling to do yourself.

    No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. I :heart: this one!! oh so true!!!!

    these are all by Eleanor Roosevelt
  • Two of my faves:

    "Although no one can go back and make a brand new start,
    anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending."
    -Roberta Brenick

    "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."
    -Martin Luther King, Jr.

    I was reading through her quotes and I just looked up to my hubby and said I just love Eleanor Roosevelt. She has said some amazing things. I look up to her and try to live by most of these quotes.

  • These are my current favorites - they change depending on the challenges I'm facing.

    "Don't quit, dammit!" Mary Liquouri
