"I spent a long time trying to find my center until I looked closely one night & found it had wheels & moved easily in the slightest breeze, so now I spend less time sitting and more time sailing." ~ Brian Andreas, "Storypeople"

"Why did I ride when I had cancer? Cycling is so hard, the suffering is so intense, that it’s absolutely cleansing. You can go out there with the weight of the world on your shoulders, and after a six hour ride at a high pain threshold, you feel at peace. The pain is so deep and strong that a curtain descends over your brain. At least for a while you have a kind of hall pass, and don't have to brood on your problems; you can shut everything else out, because the effort and subsequent fatigue are absolute." - Lance Armstrong
"Sticking with the 'unwritten plan' when the dark realization dawns that you've bitten off much more than you can chew, is the true test of one's resolve." - Rob Fusco "To keep from decaying, to be a winner, the athlete must accept pain - not only accept it, but look for it, live with it, learn not to fear it" - Dr George Skeehan "The real tragedy is the tragedy of the man who never in his life braces himself for his one supreme effort, who never stretches to his full capacity, never stands up to his full stature" - Arnold Bennett "All your life you are told the things you cannot do. All your life they will say you're not good enough or strong enough or talented enough; they will say you're the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or be this or achieve this. They will tell you no, a thousand times no, until all the no's become meaningless. All your life they will tell you no, quite firmly and very quickly.....and you will tell them yes." - Nike ad "The nation that makes a great distinction between its scholars and its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting done by fools." –Thucydides Just saw this posted on another forum and found it motivating. |

Let No Charitable Hope - Elinor Wylie
Now let no charitable hope Confuse my mind with images Of eagle and of antelope I am in nature none of these. I was, being human, born alone; I am, being woman, hard beset; I live by squeezing from a stone The little nourishment I get. In masks outrageous and austere The years go by in single file; But none has merited my fear, And none has quite escaped my smile. |
"Hope is an orientation of the spirit, an orientation of the heart...it is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out." ~Vaclev Havel

"A really hard laugh is like sex—one of the ultimate diversions of existence." ~ Jerry Seinfeld

“While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.”
-Angela Schwindt |
"I'm not buying your lunch because this never happened."
--> John Hamm as Don Draper |
All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.

"Some people come into our lives, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never the same."
- Unknown |
“There comes a time when you have to stand up and shout: This is me damn it! I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me... or leave me. Accept me - or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don't fit your idea of who I should be and don't try to change me to fit your mold. If I need to change, I alone will make that decision. When you are strong enough to love yourself 100%, good and bad - you will be amazed at the opportunities that life presents you.” - Stacey Charter |
“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. but the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. i'll always be with you.” - Winnie the Pooh |
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” - Theodore Roosevelt |
"Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude." ~ Denis Waitley
|
Self-love has very little to do with how you feel about your outer self. It's about accepting all of yourself. You've got to learn to accept the fool in you as well as the part that's got it goin' on.
-Tyra Banks |
It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived. - Helen Walton
|
"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather is one of those things that give value to survival."
- C. S. Lewis "I can trust my friends. These people force me to examine, encourage me to grow." -Cher "Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of joy you must have somebody to divide it with." - Mark Twain |
“I see my path, but I don't know where it leads. Not knowing where I'm going is what inspires me to travel it.” ~ Rosalia de Castro
