“If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.”

– Gospel of Thomas,  Verse 70

 If there was one thing you could do every day that would change your life for the better…what would it be?

Dreams

To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.

Anatole France

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.

Walt Disney

We Make Our Own Circumstances

“People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can’t find them, they make them” 

George Bernard Shaw

Memorial Day Thanks

And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I won’t forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

“I have one theory in life.  I never want to say the word I should have.  If I do it and I fail, I tried.  If I do it and I succeed, better for me.  I tell my children the same thing.  Never go through life saying you should have.  If you want to do something you do it”

“I believe that everybody has a little hero in them.  You gotta look in and it is there…it will come out”

Circumstances

“People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can’t find them, they make them.” 

George Bernard Shaw

Consistently…

“If we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions.  It’s not what we do once in awhile that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently”  Tony Robbins
