Inspiration

“Self-control is strength. Calmness is mastery. You have to get to a point where your mood doesn’t shift based on the insignificant actions of someone else. Don’t allow other to control the directions of your life. Don’t allow your emotions to overpower your intelligence.”

– Morgan Freeman

“Grit? What is it? I believe it’s driven by love. Inspired by vision and purpose. Fuelled by optimism and belief. Powered by faith and hope. Revived by resilience. Kept alive by stubbornness. And if we’re honest includes some fear of failure and desire to prove oneself”

– Jon Gordon (twitter)

“A word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than an hour of praise after success.”

“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

“Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.”

– Arthur Asher

“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.”

“You can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore before you decide to be content.”

– Shawn Humphries (Elite Performance Systems)

“When we have a clear sense of where we’re going, we can be more flexible in how we get there.”

– Simon Sinek

“Your mind is an instrument, learn to be it’s master, not it’s slave.”

“We’re often so hard on ourselves. But remember, everybody has a chapter they don’t read out loud. Take a moment. Sit back. Marvel at your life; at the mistakes that gave you wisdom, at the suffering that gave you strength. Despite everything, youstill move forward, be proud of this. Continue to endure. Continue to persevere. And remember, no matter how dark it gets, the sun will rise again.”

“To build a strong team you must see someone else’s strength as a complement to your weakness not a threat to your position or authority.”

– Christine Caine

“Too many people think the grass is greener somewhere else, but the grass is green where you water it. Remember that.”
