Sometimes You Have to Encourage Yourself!


Reflecting today on my goals and ambitions.  Taking inventory on the relationships in my life that feed me and those that drain and deplete me.  I'm taking a moment this morning and focusing on what it is that drives me.  Focusing on my strengths and celebrating my accomplishments.  I'm so grateful for vision in my life.  I'm grateful for that inner voice that won't let me quit.  You can't stop my "Go!"  All things are possible.  Les Brown sums it up best here:

“If you want a thing bad enough to go out and fight for it, 
to work day and night for it, 
to give up your time, your peace and your sleep for it…

if all that you dream and scheme is about it, 
and life seems useless and worthless without it…

if you gladly sweat for it and fret for it and plan for it 
and lose all your terror of the opposition for it…

if you simply go after that thing you want 
with all of your capacity, strength and sagacity, 
faith, hope and confidence and stern pertinacity…

if neither cold, poverty, famine, nor gout,
sickness nor pain, of body and brain, 
can keep you away from the thing that you want…

if dogged and grim you beseech and beset it, 
with the help of God, you will get it!” 
---Les Brown
