Never forget that failure isn't bad. Failure isn't final. Don't let the fear of failure stop you from achieving the success you deserve. If you're struggling, keep hustling. Keep taking at least one big action step each day.

THANKS to Brenda Dixon for sharing the following with us:

If you find someone who makes you smile, who checks up on you often to see if you're okay, who watches out for you and wants the very best for you, don't let them go. Keep them close and don't take them for granted. People like that are hard to find.

Celestine Chua

I believe life is a series of near misses. A lot of what we ascribe to luck is not luck at all. It's seizing the day and accepting responsibility for your future. It's seeing what other people don't see. And pursuing that vision.

The "One yard-line" is littered with delayed hopes, forgotten dreams, and the excuses of those who stopped just short of their goals.  REMEMBER THE PASSION that brought you this far.  Dig in, raise your head to the hills from whence cometh your help, try again; and soon you will be standing upright between the Uprights!

Henry Ford - Author, Speaker, Consultant

There's one sad truth in life I've found while journeying east and west. The only folks we really wound are those we love the best. We flatter those we scarcely know. We please the fleeting guest. And deal full many a thoughtless blow to those who love us best.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox
1850-1919, Author and Poet
