Take control of your destiny. Believe in yourself. Ignore those who try to discourage you. Avoid negative sources, people, places, things and habits. Don't give up and don't give in.   

- Wanda Carter

A habit cannot be tossed out the window; it must be coaxed down the stairs a step at a time.  

 –Mark Twain

If I had to select one quality, one personal characteristic that I regard as being most highly correlated with success, whatever the field, I would pick the trait of persistence. Determination. The will to endure to the end, to get knocked down seventy times and get up off the floor saying, "Here comes number seventy-one!"

The achievement of your goal is assured the moment you commit yourself to it.  - Mack R.
Douglas

The love of the Father who made me,
The love of the Son who died for me,
The love of the Spirit who dwells within me,
Bless me and keep me. Amen.

To accomplish great things, we must not only act but also dream. Not only plan but also believe.  - Anatole France

When you follow your bliss, doors will open where you would not have thought there would be doors; and where there wouldn't be a door for anyone else.
