    Shoot for the moon, even if you fall short you'll still land among the stars.

    FALSE.

    The moon is 384,000 km from the Earth; the closest star to us is Proxima Centauri, which is over 4.24 light-years away, or 4.01 x 10^13 km. Therefore:

    1. If you "shoot for the moon" and fall short, you are likely to be pulled back into Earth's gravity and burn up upon re-entry into our atmosphere.

    2. In the unlikely event that your trajectory and velocity would end your journey at one of the Lagrange points between the Earth and the moon, you would remain in orbit and die of suffocation in the blackness of space.

    3. If you were to be shot at the moon with such velocity that you *would* end up amongst the stars if you missed, then you would be travelling far too fast to safely touch down on the moon, and would have be killed on impact with the moon.

    "I believe every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don't intend to waste any of mine."

    I know what is within me, even if I can’t see it yet.
    I have something more important than courage; I have patience.
    I will become what I know I am.

    LOVE THIS! Crushed a marathon while training in March listening to this song at the 26.2 mile finish mark--excerpted from "Anything is Possible" by Journey:

    "Up against the world, you face your destiny,
    Don't let today's regrets affect tomorrow's dreams.
    When you shoot for the moon and you miss your mark,
    Baby you'll still end up so high among the stars...
    It's the choice you make, it's the time you take
    It's the risk you take, you know that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE."

    “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” - Marianne Williamson

    Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you're hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that! - Rocky Balboa, "Balboa"

    Do not reward yourself with food. You are not a dog.

    You can feel SORE tomorrow, or SORRY tomorrow.

    A man’s health can be judged by which he takes two at a time – pills or stairs.

    Thanks for posting this. For years this has been one of my all time favorite quotes, but I'd always thought It was from Nelson Mandela. I looked it up and sure enough, Marianne Williamson not only said it, but said she has no idea how her quote got mixed up with Nelson Mandela, but she's honored that it has meant so much to peaople :)

    It's not how good you are, it's how good you want to be.

    The time will pass, no matter how you use it.

    A year from now, you'll wish you'd have started today.

    One healthy choice at a time.

    You are what you eat, so don't be fake, easy, fast, or cheap.

    Suck it up, and one day you won't have to suck it in.

    Thank you for these words. We all need to know that we are important to our Lord, and He only wants the best for us.
