    One of my favorites:

    All things work together for the good of those that love the Lord and are called according to his purpose.

    It's a Bible quote that reminds me that no matter how bad things look, it will turn out to be for my good. I've been through some hard times, but God blessed me through those situations. Joseph's jealous brothers sold him into slavery, he was taken to Egypt where he became like a president of the nation and helped the nations of the world during a famine. He saw his brothers during this time and told them that what they did they meant for evil, but God meant it for good.

    Our Greatest Glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

    Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

    I'm not a nerd, I'm a jock who is too cool for sports.


    - I have 2/3 of these as tattoo's ... can you guess which ones. haha : )

    When I need that last pull on a bad day the great quote to me;
    Good; Better Best never let it rest until your Good is better; and your Better is your Best.
    I am unsure if it is really motivation to a lot of people but because when I repeat it I hear my mother’s voice.
