My brain was working in Overdrive and I was just thinking - on the old Transformation site I used to regularily post quotes and so did others. It has taken me ages to work out this new site! The dyslexic part of me coming out! But now I was thinking that a thread for quotes might be really uplifting - A place for everyone to share words that have inspired them or generated a thought that has instigated change.

So here is the first one from me - I've read it time and time again - but it always makes me think deeply.

If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it.
William Arthur Ward

"Take care of your body with steadfast fidelity. The soul must see through these eyes alone, and if they are dim, the whole world is clouded."

Vince Lombardi...
"The dictionary is the only place success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must all pay for success".

Fantastic quotes Linda and Clarissa

We do not stop playing because we grow old
We grow old because we stop playing

Quotes are like jokes to me, once I've heard them I forget and then i read yours and I remember. One of my favorites is:

DO IT!

Another that came from a great counselor: EACH ONE REACH ONE

The more we reach out to others the more we will be blessed so each day reach one person. Help one person get into traffic. Help one person get the BFL bug.

Jerome you are one of my heroes.

This one hangs in my workout room:

"The only opinion about your dream that really counts is yours. The negative comments of others merely relflect their limitations- Not yours." --Cynthia Kersey

In the Midst of Our Lives

We must find the Magic

To Make our

Souls Soar

Cool quotes! WOW!

I was watching a movie last night and one of the lines was "What you do in this life DOES MATTER"....I heard it and felt it in my heart. We have to make a difference in this life, in this world, we must focus on being the change and changing the world! Together we can do this.

Be yourself.

Those who matter, don't mind.

Those who mind, don't matter.

Mellie - I love that quote from the movie

Sally - I totally love that

Have a great day

Fall down seven times, get up eight. Japanese proverb

“Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime.”

Courage is very important
Like a muscle
it is
strengthened by use

My quotes for today

Things do not change
We change
Henry David Thoreau

We first make our Habits
and then
our habits make US
John Dryden

If you don't like something change it.
If you can't change it, change your attitude
Maya Angelou

"This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind ... let it be something good."



"I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time."

(Jack London)



"I will not die an unlived life.
I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance; to live so that which comes to me as seed goes to the next as blossom and that which comes to me as blossom, goes on as fruit."

(Dawna Markova)



"Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

(Howard Thurman)






Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.

Life is beauty, admire it.

Life is bliss, taste it.

Life is a dream, realize it.

Life is a challenge, meet it.

Life is a duty, complete it.

Life is a game, play it.

Life is a promise, fulfill it.

Life is sorrow, overcome it.

Life is a song, sing it.

Life is a struggle, accept it.

Life is a tragedy, confront it.

Life is an adventure, dare it.

Life is luck, make it.

Life is too precious, do not destroy it.

Life is life, fight for it.

(Mother Teresa)

"There is not enough darkness in all the world to put out the light of even one small candle."
