            “Beginning today, I will create a new future by creating a new me.  No longer will I dwell in a pit of despair, moaning over squandered time and lost opportunity.  I can do nothing about the past.  My future is immediate.  I will grasp it in both hands and carry it with running feet.  When I am faced with the choice of doing nothing or doing something, I will always choose to act!  I seize this moment.  I choose now.” ~ Andy Andrews

                “Seek wisdom.  Wisdom waits to be gathered.  She cannot be bartered or sold.  She is a fight for the diligent.  And only the diligent will find her.  The lazy man – the stupid man – never even looks.  Though wisdom is available to many, she is found by few.  Seek wisdom.  Find her, and you will find success and contentment.” ~ Andy Andrews, The Traveler’s Gift

                  “There are moments in our lives when we summon the courage to make choices that go against reason, against common sense and the wise counsel of people we trust.

We refuse to be bystanders, even if we do not know exactly where our actions will lead.” – Howard Schultz, CEO of Starbucks

                      “There’s no difference between a pessimist who says, ‘Oh, it’s hopeless, so don’t bother doing anything,’ and an optimist who says, ‘Don’t bother doing anything, it’s going to turn out fine anyway.’  Either way, nothing happens.” ~ Yvon Chouinard

Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday. Be a self-starter.

You were not born to fail.” ~ Og Mandino
