growth

When a Wanderess has been caged, or perched with her wings clipped, She lives like a Stoic, She lives most heroic, smiling with ruby, moistened lips once her cup of Death is welcome sipped.

She was like the sun, She knew her place in the world - She would shine again regardless of all the storms and changeable weather She wouldn't adjust her purpose for things that pass.

Well, I always know what I want. And when you know what you want--you go toward it. Sometimes you go very fast, and sometimes only an inch a year. Perhaps you feel happier when you go fast. I don't know. I've forgotten the difference long ago, because it really doesn't matter, so long as you move.

There is no beauty in sadness. No honor in suffering. No growth in fear. No relief in hate. It__ just a waste of perfectly good happiness.

Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing it.

The worst enemy of our humanity is our self-doubt.

When we allow negative messages to fester in our head, they take on a life of their own.

Don__ let any situation intimidate you, defeat you, or conquer you. you are stronger and smarter than anything that challenges you.

Don__ set your own goals by what other people make important.

Self-assurance reassures others and reassures yourself.

Greatness means setting out to make some difference somewhere to someone in someplace.

Focus on how far you have come in liferather than looking at the accomplishments of others.

Many people spend more time looking at their failures than focusing on their successes.

Don__ blame others. it won__ make you a better person.

Stop looking for that person you were in the past. She has changed. Look for the person she has grown into. She is wiser and stronger than than ever before. Don't go back to who you were. Cherish who you are." --Without a Voice by Chris Pepple

Becoming a great leader doesn__ mean being perfect. it means living with your imperfections.

Do not allow your inner doubts to keep you from achieving what you can do.

Intuition is a sense of knowing how to act decisively without needing to know why.
