There Are 2 Parts of Courage

"There are two parts of courage. The first is the courage to launch, to begin, to step out in faith with no guarantee of success. This is an essential part of courage that you can develop with practice. The second is the courage to endure, to persist in the face of disappointment and temporary failure."

-- Brian Tracy

Choose A Meaningful Goal

"Wherever possible, set goals that include doing something that is meaningful to you. It can be difficult to comprehend what your purpose is in life, but it’s certainly worth trying to work out sooner rather than later what this is and aligning yourself with it."

-- Alison Price

We Are Responsible For Our Choice

"Choice of attention—to pay attention to this and ignore that—is to the inner life what choice of action is to the outer. In both cases, a man is responsible for his choice and must accept the consequences, whatever they may be."

-— W. H. Auden

You Got To Make It Happen

"If you want to do it, you have to really want it and believe in it. You have to make it happen. You can’t sit back and hope that someone is going to help you along."

-- David Niven

Sense of Courage

"Your sense of courage exists in the understanding that nothing is as bad as you imagine it to be."

-- Dr. Aziz Gazipura

Went Ahead and Did It

"With confidence engendered by action, they drew on their own ability to do things others thought impossible. They did not know they could not do it, so they went ahead and did it."

-- Earl Prevette

At Least Plant The Seed

"Sometimes, it’s a good harvest, sometimes, it’s an okay harvest, but if you plant the seeds, at least you get something.  If you don’t plant the seeds or you plant the wrong seeds, you don’t end up with success."

-- Chris Widener

Continual Learning For Lifetime Growth

"Continual learning is essential for lifetime growth. You can have a great deal of experience and be no smarter for all the things you’ve done, seen, and heard. Experience alone is no guarantee of lifetime growth."

-- Dan Sullivan

Feelings of Competence First

"Don’t wait for your next evaluation to improve your judgment of yourself, because feelings are not dependent on facts—and feelings of competence actually start with the feelings and then produce the competence."

-- David Niven

Focus Energy on More Worthwhile Cause

"Choosing to forgive someone who has hurt you, either emotionally or physically, doesn’t mean you have to excuse the other person’s behavior, but letting go of your anger frees you to focus your energy on a more worthwhile cause."

-- Amy Morin
