PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE ANY THOUGHTS ON WHAT THESE QUOTES MAY MEAN TO YOU.

Be careful of your words, for words become thoughts.

Be careful of your thoughts, for thoughts become actions.

Be careful of your actions, for actions become habits.

Be careful of your habits, for habits become character.

Be careful of your character, for character determines destiny.

"End your day by privately looking directly into your eyes in the mirror and saying, 'I love you!' Do this for thirty days and watch how you transform." -- Mark Victor Hansen

"It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something." -- Franklin D. Roosevelt

"Some people say I have attitude - maybe I do...but I think you have to. You have to believe in yourself when no one else does - that makes you a winner right there." -- Venus Williams

"Forget past mistakes. Forget failures. Forget everything except what you're going to do now and do it." -- William Durant

Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams.Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do." -- Pope John XXIII

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your oldnonsense." --Ralph Waldo Emerson

"The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one." -- Elbert Hubbard, 1856-1915"

What you did in the past, though it might have made you the person you are today, has absolutely no bearing on what you do in the future."

"You didn't get out of shape and unhealthy overnight, and you won't get fit and healthy overnight - despite what the infomercials tell you"

"A real transformation begins on the inside, not in a bottle or a package. The magic is sitting inside you, just waiting to be let out. The transformation is a learning process, one that comes from realizing you control your destiny, and that you can accomplish whatever you decide you're going to accomplish."

"Make the decision, then do something - no matter how small - toward accomplishing what you want."
