I love quotations! I have quotes from my favorite books and authors and bible verses all over my room and written on my mirror. I use quotations to help keep my motivated and to remind me where my focus should be. So I want to share a few of my favorites with you...
"What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us." -Ralph Waldo Emerson
"He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think." Ephesians 3:20
"Only you can decide to choose success and accept the challenge to be proactive in pursuit of your goal." -Pretty Smart
"If someone prays for courage, does God give him courage, or does He give him opportunities to be courageous?"-Evan Almighty
"I don't scratch my head unless it itches and I don't dance unless I hear some music. I will not be intimidated. That's just the way it is. " -Coach Boone, Remember the Titans
"The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning." -Tuesdays With Morrie
And finally...
"Yes, I have a dream. It is a great dream, and I will never apologize for it. Neither will I ever let it go, for if I did, my life would be finished. My hopes, my passions, my vision for the future are my very existence. A person without a dream never had a dream come true. I have a decided heart. I will not wait."
