“Doing nothing for others is the undoing of ourselves.”
“To ease another’s heartache is to forget one’s own.”
“The purpose of life is not to be happy.
It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate,
to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”
“I don't want to live in the kind of world where we don't look out for each other.
Not just the people that are close to us,
but anybody who needs a helping hand.
I cant change the way anybody else thinks,
or what they choose to do,
but I can do my bit.”

==================================

this is awesome please read the below.....

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another.

Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough, and we'll be more content when they are.

After that, we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with.

We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage.

We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our partner gets his or her act together

when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice holiday, when we retire.

The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when?

Your life will always be filled with challenges.

It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway.

A quote comes from Alfred D. Souza. He said,

"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life.

But there was always some obstacle in the way,

something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business,

time still to be served, or a debt to be paid.

Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."

This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.

So, treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special,

special enough to spend your time...and remember that time waits for no one.

So, stop waiting until you lose ten pounds, until you gain ten pounds,

until you have kids, until your kids leave the house, until you start work, until you retire,

until you get married, until you get divorced, until Friday night, until Sunday morning,

until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is paid off,

until spring, until summer, until winter, until your song comes on, until you've had a drink....

there is no better time than right now to be happy.

Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

Work like you don't need money,

Love like you've never been hurt,

And dance like no one's watching

“Give freely to the world these gifts of love and compassion.
Do not concern yourself with how much you receive in return,
just know in your heart it will be returned.

“It's not enough to have lived.
We should be determined to live for something.
May I suggest that it be creating joy for others,
sharing what we have for the betterment of personkind,
bringing hope to the lost and love to the lonely.”

What you focus on expands,
and when you focus on the goodness in your life,
you create more of it.
Be thankful for what you have;
you’ll end up having more.
If you concentrate on what you don’t have,
you will never, ever have enough.
What you focus on expands.
If you focus on the good, you will get more of it.
If you focus on lack and poverty, you will get more of that as well.
Learn to recognize the good in your life
and be grateful for it everyday.
Soon your focus will change
and so will your life.

Goals are my north star.
My compass.
The map that guides me along the road I wish to travel.
Goals are motivations with wind in their sails
they carry me forward despite the storms.

“People who lack the clarity, courage, or determination
to follow their own dreams
will often find ways to discourage yours.
When you change for the better,
the people around you will be inspired to change also....
but only after doing their best to make you stop.
Live your truth and don't EVER stop.”
The difference between the impossible and the possible
lies in a man's determination.
Champions aren't made in the gyms.
Champions are made from something they have deep inside them
a desire, a dream, a vision.
Sports do not build character.
They reveal it

“Strength doesn't come from what you can do.
It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn't.”
Strength doesn’t come from winning.
Your struggles develop your strength.
When you go through hardship
and decide not to surrender,
that is strength.

“In the storm, our only anchor is hope.”
“You can only have the courage and strength
to do what you think is right.
It may turn out to be wrong,
but you will at least have done it,
and that is the important thing.
We must act according to the best dictates of our reason,
and then leave God to judge its ultimate value.”
“Courage provides you with two qualities;
the capability to begin something
and the ability to endure it to the end!
Let no one stop you from sparking your life with courage!”

You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated.
“It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.”
“Many of life's failures are people who did not realize
how close they were to success when they gave up.”
“The difference between a successful person and others
is not a lack of strength,
not a lack of knowledge,
but rather a lack in will.”

“Pain is temporary.
It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year,
but eventually it will subside
and something else will take its place.
If I quit, however,
it lasts forever.
That surrender,
even the smallest act of giving up,
stays with me.
So when I feel like quitting,
I ask myself,
which would I rather live with?”
