It's faith in something and enthusiasm for something that makes a life worth living.- Oliver Wendell Holmes  A thousand dreams die unborn every day because the dreamer lacks the courage to take the FIRST STEP, in faith, with no guarantees of success. There are no guarantees in life, and we know that if every question must be answered, if every obstacle must first be overcome—then NOTHING will ever get done. Decide what you want, write it down, make a plan, and then — take action. "Leap and the net will appear!"

The person who sends out positive thoughts activates the world around him positively and draws back to him positive results - Norman Vincent Peale Life ends when you stop dreaming, hope ends when you stop believing, love ends when you stop caring, friendship ends when you stop sharing ... so share something with a friend.

See it & feel it. Believe it. Positive thoughts bring positive results. Start now, make today great!

The experienced mountain climber is not intimidated by a mountain -- he is inspired by it. The persistent winner is not discouraged by a problem -- he is challenged by it.

Happy and unhappy people tend to have very similar life experiences. The difference is what they focus on. It's your choice.
