to Do It

I am in a difficult situation where there seems to be no way out, I think about
all the times I have been in such situations and say to myself, "I did it
before, so I can do it again.”

“Before
success comes in any man’s life, he is sure to meet with much temporary defeat,
and, perhaps, some failure. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and most
logical thing to do is to quit. That is exactly what the majority of men do.
More than five hundred of the most successful men this country has ever known
told the author their greatest success came just one step beyond the point at
which defeat had overtaken them.”

“It's
a funny thing about life, once you begin to take note of the things you are
grateful for, you begin to lose sight of the things that you lack.”

up.”

their self-confidence, make them work harder, lift their spirits and make them
successful in their endeavors. Encouragement goes straight to the heart and is
always available. Be an encourager. Always.”

“There
is great change to be experienced once you learn the power of letting go. Stop

being your true self! Today is YOURS to shape - own it - break free from people
and things that poison or dilute your spirit.”

through.”
