Carl Jung "We cannot change anything until we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses." Steve Jobs "You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life." St. Jerome "Good, better, best. Never let it rest. 'Til your good is better and your better is best." Simone de Beauvoir "One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, indignation and compassion." Gail Devers "Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe." |
