What I do to make myself feel better.


Only because I'm not able to sleep at the moment, and because I always feel better when I read them. Quotes have had a huge impact on my confidence and on the way I look at life.

"To get the full value of joy you must have somebody to divide it with."

"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a battle."

"I don't want to be a passenger in my own life."

"It takes less time to do a thing right than it does to explain why you did it wrong."

"None will improve your lot if you yourself do not."

"You can have anything you want if you wan it badly enough. You can be anything you want to be, do anything you set out to accomplish if you hold to that desire with singleness of purpose."
Yeah, I wish I had that desire and purpose.

"It is a glorious achievement to master one's own temper." Working on it.

"Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself, never pity yourself. Be a hard master to yourself and be lenient to everybody else."

"The important thing is this; to be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become."

" "I can't do it" never yet accomplished anything; "I will try" has accomplished wonders."

"The entire sum of existence is the magic of being needed by just one person."

"As long as a person doesn't admit he is defeated, he is not defeated; he is just a little behind and isn't through fighting."

"The person that says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it."

"The reward of a thing well done is to have it done it."

"One of the secrets of life is to be honestly who you are. Who others want you to be, who you used to be, and who you may someday become... these are fantasies. To be honestly who you are is to give up your illusions and face today with courage."

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."

"Let the world know you as you are, not as you think you should be."

"Men and women are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds."

"Do not attempt to do a thing unless you are sure of yourself; but do not relinquish it simply because someone else is not sure of you."

"When you are looking in the mirror, you are looking at the problem; but, remember you are also looking at the solution."

"Many of life's failures are experience by people who did not realize how close they were to succeed when they gave up."

"Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home ad think about it. Go out and get busy."
