A PERSON'S GREATEST WEAKNESS IS....NOT BELIEVING! You must ALWAYS believe that you can do anything that you set your mind to. Each person has the capacity to follow a dream or to recognize that within each of us is a place of refuge. BELIEVE that you can run a marathon, BELIEVE that you can lose weight, BELIEVE that you can overcome an injury, BELIEVE that you can BE THE BEST!
"Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities!
-Norman Vincent Peale
"The purpose of life is to believe, to hope, and to strive.
-Indira Gandhi
Be patient and take one step at a time...OPPORTUNITY will soon reveal itself! Each of us has the OPPORTUNITY to experience and to live in each moment.
"Every step is an end, and every step is a fresh beginning."
-JoHann Wolfgang Von Goethe
"The lure of the distant and difficult is deceptive. The great opportunity is where you are.
-John Burroughs
