The full distance
What a shame it would be if the results you have worked to achieve required
just a little longer to arrive than you were willing to wait. How sad it
would be for your ship to finally come in just a few minutes after you had
given up and left the dock.
Success is built upon effort and commitment. Success also requires
persistence and patience.
It is of little use to work for years toward a goal if you give up just a
few days before the goal is reached. There is no point in working through
hundreds of obstacles if you allow the very last obstacle to stop you.
Go ahead, close the deal, finish the work and get yourself all the way to
the goal you've chosen. Take those last remaining steps so that you'll hold
the prize firmly in your hands.
Rest when you are weary but do not quit. Achievement belongs to those who
can go the full distance.
It it's important enough to start, it's important enough to finish. Be sure
to always take the next step, for it could very well be the one that finally
gets you there.

Love is like a butterfly: It goes where it pleases and it pleases

Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your

~Nathaniel Hawthorne
There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a
butterfly.
~Richard Buckminster Fuller
"Just living is not enough," said the butterfly, "one must have
sunshine, freedom and a little flower."

Winners
Winners take chances like everyone else,
They fear failing, but they refuse to let fear control them.
Winners don’t give up,
When life gets tough, they hang in until the going gets better
Winners are flexible.
They realise there is more than one way and they are willing to try others.
Winners know they are not perfect.
They respect their weaknesses while making the most of their strengths.
Winners fall, but they don’t stay down.
They stubbornly refuse to let a fall keep them from climbing.
Winners don’t blame fate for their failures,
Nor luck for their successes.
Winners accept responsibility for their lives.
Winners are positive thinkers who see good in all things.
From the ordinary, they make the extraordinary.
Winners believe in the path they have chosen even when it’s hard,
Even when others can’t see where they are going.
Winners are patient.
They know a goal is only as worthy as the effort that’s required to achieve it.
Winners are people like you.
They make this world a better place to be.

Think
If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don't;
If you'd like to win but you think you can't,
You can almost be certain you won't.
If you think that you'll lose, you are lost,
For out in the world you will find
Success begins with a person's will;
It's all in the state of the mind.
If you think you're outclassed you are;
You've got to think high to rise.
You've just got to be sure of yourself
Before you can win the prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To a stronger or faster man;
But sooner or later the person who wins
Is the person that THINKS they ca0 -

Just for Today
I will live through the next 12 hours and try not to tackle all of life's problems at once.
I will improve my mind, I will learn something that requires effort and concentration.
I will be agreeable. I will look my best, speak in a well modulated voice, and be courteous and considerate.
I will not find fault with a friend, relative or colleague. I will not try to change or improve anyone but myself.
I will have a programme. I might not follow it exactly, but I will have it. I will save myself from two enemies:
hurry and indecision.
I will do a good turn and keep it a secret. If anyone finds out, it will not count.
I will do two things I don't want to do, just for the exercise.
I will believe in myself. I will give my best to the world and feel confident that the world will give it's best to me.0 -

It's not who or what you were, nor who or what you are that matters-- it's who or what you are becoming.
The ultimate joy of living is sacrifice--
Both by Marla's hubby--
Always be sure to entertain strangers, for by so doing men have entertained angels without knowing-- I think somewhere in Hebrews-- a favorite verse of mine.
Hugs, friends!!0 -
Sometimes when we are generous in small, barely
detectable ways it can change someone else's life
forever. ~ Margaret Cho0
