As individuals think and believe, so they are.

It's the constant and determined effort that breaks down all resistance, sweeps away all obstacles.

To win you've got to stay in the game.

........................

Every person is the creation of himself, the image of his own thinking and believing. As individuals think and believe, so they are.

~Claude Bristol

Curiosity is not just for humans...

The first and the simplest emotion 

which we discover 

in the human mind

is Curiosity.

Day By Day!

"He who is silent is forgotten; he who abstains is taken at his word; he who does not advance, falls back; he who stops is overwhelmed, distanced, crushed; he who ceases to grow greater becomes smaller; he who leaves off, gives up; the stationary condition is the beginning of the end—it is the terrible symptom which precedes death. To live, is to achieve a perpetual triumph: it is to assert one's self against destruction, against sickness, against the annulling and dispersion of one's physical and moral being. It is to will without ceasing, or rather to refresh one's will day by day."

~Henri-Frédéric Amiel

Challenge the Opposition!

The difference between success and failure isn't the absence of fear but the determination to pursue your heart's desires no matter how scared you are.

Pain is an Opportunity to Learn!

There is Wisdom and Power in Pain

Pain teaches you many things about yourself.  

It shows you just what you are made of and how to overcome obstacles.  

It becomes an opportunity to view the world and other people through a completely new set of eyes.

  Pain allows us to grow, to reach, and to achieve a higher awareness of self.

Pain is an opportunity to learn.

Just ASK for What You Want!

If you don't go after what you want, 

you'll never have it. 

If you don't ask, 

the answer is always no. 

If you don't step forward, 

you're always in the same place. 

~ Nora Roberts

Become Your Dream(s)!

and there are some who face reality; 

and then there are those 

who turn one into the other. 

-Douglas H. Everett

into flames of achievement.” 

~Golda Meir

Meir was elected Prime Minister of Israel on March 17, 1969,^[2] after serving as Minister of Labour and Foreign Minister. Israel's first and the world's third woman to hold such an office, she was described as the "Iron Lady" of Israeli politics years before the epithet became associated with British prime minister Margaret Thatcher.^[3] Former prime minister David Ben-Gurion used to call Meir "the best man in the government"; she was often portrayed as the "strong-willed, straight-talking, grey-bunned grandmother of the Jewish people."^[4]

In 1974, after the conclusion of the Yom Kippur War, Meir resigned as prime minister. She died in 1978.

~Dr. Seuss

Theodor Seuss Geisel ( /ˈɡaɪzəl/; March 2, 1904 – September 24, 1991) was an American writer, poet, and cartoonist most widely known for his children's books written under the pen names Dr. Seuss, Theo LeSieg and, in one case, Rosetta Stone.^[2]

He published 46 children's books, which were often characterized by imaginative characters, rhyme, and frequent use of trisyllabic meter. His most celebrated books include the bestselling Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, Horton Hatches the Egg, Horton Hears a Who!, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas!. Numerous adaptations of his work have been created, including 11 television specials, four feature films, a Broadway musical and four television series. He won the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award in 1958 for Horton Hatches the Egg and again in 1961 for And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street.

Geisel also worked as an illustrator for advertising campaigns, most notably for Flit and Standard Oil, and as a political cartoonist for PM, a New York City newspaper. During World War II, he worked in an animation department of the U.S Army, where he wrote Design for Death, a film that later won the 1947 Academy Award for Documentary Feature.

Geisel's birthday, March 2, has been adopted as the annual date for National Read Across America Day, an initiative on reading created by the National Education Association.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Seuss
