“Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees all others.”
–Winston Churchill

“A great leader’s courage to fulfill his vision comes from passion, not position.” –John C. Maxwell

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matter compared to what lies within us.
–Oliver Wendell Holmes

“Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be.”   –George Sheehan

When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage
and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in
pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not
ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is
more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our
destiny.”    --Paulo Coelho 

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” — Steve Jobs

The fact is, that to do anything in the world worth doing, we must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in and scramble through as well as we can.

Robert Cushing -

Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway.

John Wayne -

Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

A Creed to Live By

January 22nd, 2008 · No Comments

Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others, It is because we are different that each of us is special.

Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important, Only you know what is best for you.

Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart Cling to that as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless.

Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.

Don’t give up when you still have something to give Nothing is really over … until the moment you stop trying.

Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect, It is the fragile thread that binds us to each other.

Don’t be afraid to encounter risks, It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give love.

The fastest way to lose love is to hold on too tightly, And the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

Don’t dismiss your Dreams. To be without dreams is to be without hope. To be without hope is to be without purpose.

Don’t run through life so fast that you forget where you’ve been, But also know where you’re going.

Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored every step of the way.
