determination

F-E-A-R has two meanings: 'Forget Everything And Run' or 'Face Everything And Rise.' The choice is yours.

You are only a prisoner when you surrender.

Positive mindset, positive lifestyle.

Been living on this earth for so long now and still don't know what a happy life feels like. I'm ready for a change.

You get up, you dress up, you show up. And usually have a pretty good time by the end of it.

I know now, after fifty years, that the finding/losing, forgetting/remembering, leaving/returning, never stops. The whole of life is about another chance, and while we are alive, till the very end, there is always another chance.

T is not too late to seek a newer world.Push off, and sitting well in order smiteThe sounding furrows; for my purpose holdsTo sail beyond the sunset, and the bathsOf all the western stars, until I die. It may be that the gulfs will wash us down:It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.Tho_ much is taken, much abides; and tho__e are not now that strength which in old daysMov__ earth and heaven, that which we are, we are:One equal temper of heroic hearts,Made weak by time and fate, but strong in willTo strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Why are we worn out? Why do we, who start out so passionate, brave, noble, believing, become totally bankrupt by the age of thirty or thirty-five? Why is it that one is extinguished by consumption, another puts a bullet in his head, a third seeks oblivion in vodka, cards, a fourth, in order to stifle fear and anguish, cynically tramples underfoot the portrait of his pure, beautiful youth? Why is it that, once fallen, we do not try to rise, and, having lost one thing, we do not seek another? Why?

The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don__ wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope.

You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.

If you think training is hard...try losing.

You must dare, and dare again, and then dare a little bit more, and go on daring.

The whole purpose of the winepress is to preserve the grapes. Accept Pressing moments. What you accomplish in a moment of pressure will be used forever.

Everything comes down to attitude: You determine what yours is, and the external world will reflect it back.

If you stop focusing on all the reasons why you can__ do it, you just may surprise yourself to see what you can do.

All great people had experienced dark times and moments of doubt but they find inner strength to overcome these difficulties. Persistent determination and enthusiasm fuel the hope within their spirit to press forward for the ultimate aim of achieving the goals they have set for themselves.

Whatever your situation might be, set your mind to whatever you want to do and put a good attitude in it, and I believe that you can succeed.

Soft power is quiet persistence.
