I needed some inspiration today!

  I love quotes and inspirationals and when I'm having a blah day I often pull some of my favorites.  Some remind me how amazingly blessed I am.  Some encourage me to push a little harder.  And some make me think of some of my foundest memories.  So I thought I'd just throw a bunch up here. Hoping to brighten my day!

*Courage is being scared to death - but saddling up anyway.                         

*Aging may be inevitable, but giving into it is the fastest way to grow old.

*Live simply and frugally by mastering desire.

*Put your faith, and not your fears, in charge. Courage isn't the absence of fears but how you wrestle with them.

*Being broke is not the same as being broken, losing money is not the same as being lost, and finding your balance is not something you can do on a balance sheet.

*The brick walls are not there to keep us out; the brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something.

*It is a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it.

*A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.

*God doesn't give you the people you want, He gives you the people you NEED. To help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you into the person you were meant to be.

*When you come to the end of all the light you know and you are about to step into the darkness of the unknown..... having faith is knowing that that there will be solid ground beneath you or you will be taught how to fly.... Have Faith.

*4 things you can never recover! 1. The stone...after the throw! 2. The word...after it's said. 3. The occassion...after it's loss! 4.  The time....after it's gone!

*To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did. When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better.

*Life is too short to wake up with regrets. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.

*I am only as strong as the coffee I drink, the hairspray I use and the friends I have.

*I believe-That you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

*I believe-That no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn't stop for your grief.

*May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, Enough trials to make you strong, Enough sorrow to keep you human and Enough hope to make you happy.

*Every woman should know...when to try harder...and when to just walk away.

*Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

*Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.

*Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

*Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.

*God determines who walks into your life...it's up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go.

*People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered-- Love them anyway. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives--Do good anyway.  If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enimes--Succeed anyway.  The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow--Do good anyway.  Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable--Be honest and frank anyway.  The biggest people with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest people with the smallest minds--Think big anyway.  People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs--Fight for a few underdogs anyway.  What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight--Build anyway.  Give the world the best you have and you'll eventually get kicked in the teeth--But always give it the best anyway!

*Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...It's about learning to dance in the rain!

*For attractive lips, always speak words of kindness.

*The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

*Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

*Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

*Courage is moving forward even through the path of most resistance.

*To the world you may just be one person but to one person you may be the world.
