I am not a victim. People are always blaming their

circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances.

The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they

want, and, if they can't find them,

make them.

~ George Bernard Shaw

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fears, our presence automatically liberates others.

~ Marianne Williamson

We are what we repeatedly do.

Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

~ Aristotle

Can you imagine what I could do if I would do all I can?Start where you are.

Use what you have.

Do what you can. ~ Arthur Ashe
