in Motivation and Support
So this morning I was feeling pretty down....I'm unemployed in Michigan, waiting almost 3 months for unemployment compensation......So I wanted to just stay in my jammies and cry all day.

I felt like I needed something to get me going and I'm short on cash, which has tankfully led to an absence of comfort food. I knew that some sort of exercize would help, but I just didn't feel like getting dressed.

Anyway the point is, I went online and searched for Les Brown....My all time FAVORITE speaker in the whole wide world! His story is more than motivating and his voice reminds me that I AM TOO.

These are the two quotes that got me going this morning:

~Life has no limitations, except the ones you make.

~If you fall, fall on your back. If you can look up, you can get up.

Got any motivating quotes to share????

    I don't know if it is motivating, but it is a quote I like

    "Worrying is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but doesn't get you anywhere"

    and some good quotes:
    Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life. - Dr David M Burns

    This has gotta be the one that's driving me since I started up again :

    "Whether you think you can or can't, You're right" - Henry Ford I believe. That, and my sig below "Unyielding Resolve has no Conqueror"

    Also, basically ANY quote about honor, glory or guts from the movie 300! Yup!
