Inspiration

“When things go wrong, as they sometimes will; When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill; When the funds are low and the debts are high; And you want to smile but you have to sigh. When all is pressing you down a bit- Rest if you must, but don’t you quit; Success is failure turned inside out; The silver tint on the clouds of doubt; And you can never tell how close you are; It may be near when it seems far. So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit – It’s when things go wrong that you must not quit.”

– John Greenleaf Whittier

“You fall, you rise, you make mistakes, you live and learn. You’re human, not perfect. You’ve been hurt but, you’re alive – to breath to think, to enjoy, and chase the things you love. Sometimes there is sadness in our journey but, there is also lots of joy. We must keep putting one foot in front of the other even when we hurt. For we will never know what is waiting for us around the bend.”

“Strength doesn’t come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t”

“Telling an athlete, student, employee, what they are doing wrong is a huge mental error in performance. The power of thinking about what NOT to do pollutes the brain with the picture and idea of missing, not completing, and filling it with what you want to avoid. Language is powerful that even a hint of what you are trying to avoid can be fateful.”

“Golf is a compromise between what your ego wants you to do, what experience tells you to do, and what your nerves let you do.”

– Bruce Crampton

“Your journey is not the same as mine and my journey is not yours, but if you meet me on a certain path may we encourage each other.”

“You can change another person’s life just by the belief that you have in them and by caring enough to take a moment to verbalize is to them.”

“We talk about how to have success, how to prepare properly and what it takes to win but something I wish I would have learned sooner in life was hot to process failure. How to handle it when it happens. How to use it as a learning moment. For quicker long term success, FAIL UP!”

– Baseball Dudes (twitter)

“There’s always stuff to learn. There’s stuff I didn’t hear until I was 40 that I wish I had hear when I was 20. There’s stuff I hear now that I’ve never heard before.”

– Gregg Maddux
