Hope is to our spirits what oxygen is to our lungs. Lose hope and you die. They may not bury you for awhile, but without hope you are dead inside. The only way to face the future is to fly straight into it on the wings of hope....hope is the energy of the soul. Hope is the power of tomorrow.
Lewis Smedes
Being defeated is a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.
Marlene vos Savant
"Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."
Romans 15:13
The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.
~C. S. Lewis
Anyone can fight the battle of just one day at a time. It is only when we add the burden of yesterdays and tomorrows that contentment and peace of mind elude us. Therefore, we have to acquire knowledge, develop skills, and foster a positive attitude to deal with today better.
~J. A. Romas & M. Sharma
We may pass violets looking for roses. We may pass contentment looking for victory.
~Bern Williams
Life is a great and wondrous mystery, and the only thing we know that we have for sure is what is right here right now. Don't miss it.
~Leo Buscaglia
Living in the moment means letting go of the past and not waiting for the future. It means living your life consciously, aware that each moment you breathe is a gift.
-- Oprah Winfrey
When I am anxious it is because I am living in the future. When I am depressed it is because I am living in the past.
-- Author Unknown
"....you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious--the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse."
Philippians 4:8
The Message
If you need to win then you will lose because you will be focused on what is at stake and not on the objective.
~David J. Lieberman
"Get Anyone to Do Anything"
Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure. The way you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because you think you are."
~Norman Vincent Peale
There is wisdom in looking at a plant that has many
thorns and only one flower and calling it a rosebush rather than a thornbush. (I can focus on beauty rather than pain.)
~G.B.E. Publishers (I Can)
I can't keep the sparrows from flying around my head, but I can keep them from making a nest in my hair. ~ Martin Luther
The true nature of a thing is the highest it can become.
~Aristotle
Restlessness and discontent are the first necessities of progress.
~Thomas A. Edison
While we are free to choose our actions, we are not free to choose the consequences of those actions. ~Stephen Covey
One of the best things about feeling discomfort is that it signals, before things get really bad, that something needs to change.
~Susan Campbell, Ph.D.
"Getting Real"
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full
of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
~Calvin Coolidge
If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps life moving, you lose the courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all. And so today I still have a dream.
Martin Luther King Jr.
A bend in the road is not the end of the road unless you fail to make the turn.
~Author Unknown
Success is going from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.
~Winston Churchill
That which doesn't destroy me makes me stronger.
~Friedrich Nietzsche
Don't Quit
When things go wrong as they sometimes will, when the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
when you're feeling low and the stress is high, and you to smile but you have to sigh,
when worries are getting you down a bit by all means pray and don't you quit.
Success is failure turned inside out, God's hidden gift in the clouds of doubt.
You never can tell how close you are it may be near when it seems so far.
So trust in the Lord when you're hardest hit. It's when things go wrong that you must not quit!

With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.
~Eleanor Roosevelt
This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind... let it be something good. ~Author Unknown
Light is sweet; how pleasant to see a new day dawning. ~Ecclesiastes
This bright, new day... complete with 24 hours of opportunities, choices, and attitudes… a perfectly matched set of 1440 minutes.This unique gift, this one day, cannot be exchanged, replaced or refunded. Handle with care. Make the most of it. There is only one to a customer.
~Author Unknown
Every morning is a fresh beginning. Every day is the world made new. Today is a new day. Today is my world made new. I have lived all my life up to this moment, to come to this day. This moment--this day--is as good as any moment in all eternity. I shall make of this day--each moment of this day--a heaven on earth. This is my day of opportunity.
~Dan Custer
Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday. Be a self-starter. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo
through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don't waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail. ~Og Mandino
Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This day is all that is good and fair. It is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on yesterdays. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet
This is the beginning of a new day.
God has given me this day to use as I will.
I can waste it or use it for good.
What I do today is important, because
I am exchanging a day of my life for it.
When tomorrow comes,
this day will be gone forever,
leaving in its place something
that I have traded for it.
I want it to be gain, not loss;
good not evil; success not failure;
in order that I shall not regret
the price I paid for it.
~Author Unknown
I'ts not what happens to you that determines how far you will go in life; it is how you handle what happens to you.
