A motivational quote that changed my thinking and my life...

This has helped me though some really hard times, I hope it helps you too::flowerforyou:

There comes a time in your life when you realize that if you stand still, you will remain at this point forever. You realize that if you fall and stay down, life will pass you by...

Life's circumstances are not always what you might wish them to be. The pattern of life may not necessarily go as you plan. Beyond any understanding, you may at times be led in a different direction that you never imagined, dreamed, or designed. Yet if you had never put any effort into choosing a path, or tried to carry out your dreams, then perhaps you would have no direction at all.

Rather than wondering about or questioning the direction your life has taken, accept the facts that there is a path before you now. Shake off the “why’s” and “what if’s” and rid yourself of confusion. Whatever was- is the past. Whatever is- is what’s important. The past is a brief reflection. The future is yet to be realized. Today is here.

Walk your path one step at a time with courage, faith, and determination. Keep your head up, and cast your dreams to the stars. Soon your steps will become firm, and your footing will be solid again. A path that you never imagined will become the most comfortable direction you could have ever hoped to follow.
