A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results. -Anon. "All your life you are told the things you cannot do. All your life they will say you're not good enough or strong enough or talented enough; they will say you're the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or be this or achieve this. THEY WILL TELL YOU NO, a thousand times no, until all the no's become meaningless. All your life they will tell you no, quite firmly and very quickly. AND YOU WILL TELL THEM YES." - Nike ad "We don't become what we want, we become what we believe." - Oprah There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when it's convenient. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses; only results.� ~Kenneth Blanchard "Most of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up." Life is meant to be lived, not merely survived! ~ Fellow sparker Lisa This week is gonna come and go regardless if we do anything with it or not. Time passes. You can choose today, to be one week closer to your goal by next week, or one week farther from it. Choose Today. Then be Diligent. Honest. Patient." SS "Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever." Lance Armstrong 'Never allow someone to be your Priority while allowing yourself to be their Option' --Author Unknown "There are only two options regarding commitment. You're either IN or you're OUT. There's no such thing as life in-between." - Pat Riley, basketball coach The question isn't who is going to let me, it's who is going to stop me?" - Ayn Rand Last is just the slowest winner."-C Hunter Boyd **************************************** Chilly Chili 5k Race 2/08/09 44:23 14:27 pace
