Listen to Others... Sometimes when someone else says what we are thinking it seems to make more sense! Below are some favorite quotes....  LIFE
"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself."
— George Bernard Shaw, playwright, critic "What if the Hokey-Pokey is really what it’s all about?"~ Unknown Semper Ubi Sub Ubi - Always wear underwear. "...what matters most is that we learn from living."
Doris Lessing
"You have to have confidence in your ability, and then to be tough enough to follow through." Rosalynn Carter
"Begin somewhere; you cannot build a reputation on what you intend to do."
Liz Smith "Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me."
-Carol Burnett
"It is never too late to be what you might have been."
-George Eliot
"Be bold and courageous. When you look back on your life, you’ll regret the things you didn’t do more than the ones you did." ~unknown~
Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime; therefore, we must be saved by hope." Reinhold Niebuhr American Theologian (1882 – 1971)
Life is full of indecision. "I should’ve" - "I would’ve" - "I wish I had"....It’s time to change "I should’ve" to "I’m so happy I did" ~unknown~
Success
"Yes We Can!", President Barack Obama....and thousands of his supporters! Woody Allen quote that often comes to mind: "The only thing standing between me and success is me." "If all the gold in the world were melted down into a solid cube it would be about the size of an eight-room house. If a man got possession of all that gold - billions of dollars worth, he could not buy a friend, character, peace of mind, clear conscience or a sense of eternity."
Charles F. Banning
Work/Career
 "Anyone who sees in his own occupation merely a means of earning money degrades it; but he that sees in it a service to mankind enables both his labor and himself." A. Lawrence Lowell "You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand."
Woodrow T. Wilson "If you have a talent, use it in every which way possible. Don't hoard it. Don't dole it out like a miser. Spend it lavishly like a millionaire intent on going broke." Courage
"There are people who put their dreams in a little box and say, “Yes, I’ve got dreams, of course, I’ve got dreams.” Then they put the box away and bring it out once in awhile to look in it, and yep, they’re still there. These are great dreams, but they never even get out of the box. It takes an uncommon amount of guts to put your dreams on the line, to hold them up and say, “How good or how bad am I?" That’s where courage comes in."
Erma Bombeck Tami's Favorites
"When I walk out the door each day, I am not walking out the door as that little girl who used to be tormented. I walk out the door as a person whose spirit is full of life, full of confidence."
"If someone came to me today and said, 'Here's a pill you can take to be supermodel gorgeous,' I'd say no thank you. I have a spirit that tells me every day that I am beautiful not only from the inside but from the outside as well."
 LIFE IS NOT MEASURED BY THE NUMBER OF BREATHS WE TAKE, BUT BY THE MOMENTS THAT TAKE OUR BREATH AWAY
