Q & A with Dawn Alison

I do not ask to walk smooth paths nor bear an easy load.
I pray for strength and fortitude to climb the rock strewn road.
Give me such courage and I can scale the hardest peaks alone,
And transform every stumbling block into a stepping stone

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.

Like gaining confidence, finding one's courage is gradual rather than all at once.

It takes a deep commitment to change and an even deeper commitment to grow.

Until one is committed, there is hesitancy,
the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness.
The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.
All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred.
A whole stream of events issues from the decision,
raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance,
which no man could have dreamed would have come his way

"It is never too late to be who you might have been."

Above all, challenge yourself.
You may well surprise yourself at what strengths you have,
what you can accomplish.

Commitment leads to action. Action brings your dream closer.

The galleries are full of critics.
They play no ball, they fight no fights.
They make no mistakes because they attempt nothing.
Down in the arena are the doers.
They make mistakes because they try many things.
The man who makes no mistakes lacks boldness and the spirit of adventure.
He is the one who never tries anything.
His is the brake on the wheel of progress.
And yet it cannot be truly said he makes no mistakes,
because his biggest mistake is the very fact that he tries nothing, does nothing, except criticize those who do things

Growth means change and change involves risk,
stepping from the known to the unknown.

It's better to be a lion for a day than a sheep all your life

Each day the world is born anew for him who takes it rightly.

Every morning is a fresh beginning.
Every day is the world made new.
Today is a new day.
Today is my world made new.
I have lived all my life up to this moment,
to come to this day.
This moment--this day--is as good as any moment in all eternity.
I shall make of this day
each moment of this day
a heaven on earth.
This is my day of opportunity

I don't believe you have to be better than everybody else.
I believe you have to be better than you ever thought you could be.

It is not the critic that counts;
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles
or the doer of deeds could have them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the Arena,
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly;
who errs and comes short again and again,
because there is no effort without error and shortcoming;
but he who does actually strive to do the deed;
who knows the great devotion;
who spends himself in a worthy cause,
who at the best,
knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
and who at the worst,
if he fails while daring greatly,
knows that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls,
who know neither victory nor defeat.

Strength does not come from physical capacity.
It comes from an indomitable will

Strength does not come from winning.
Your struggles develop your strengths.
When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength

Choice of attention
to pay attention to this and ignore that
is to the inner life what choice of action is to the outer.
In both choices man is responsible for his choice
and must accept the consequences

Every choice carries a consequence.
For better or worse,
each choice is the unavoidable consequence of its predecessor.
There are not exceptions.
If you can accept that a bad choice carries the seed of its own punishment,
why not accept the fact that a good choice yields desirable fruit?

“The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire;
the size of your dream;
and how you handle disappointment along the way.”

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed
is more important than any other thing
