battle is raging inside me ... it is a terrible fight between two wolves. One wolf

represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt,

resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego. The other stands for

joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence,

friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."

truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.´ ± Steve Jobs

The world ain¶t all sunshine and rainbows. It¶s a very mean and nasty place and I

don¶t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there

permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it

ain¶t about how hard ya hit. It¶s about how hard you can get it and keep moving

forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That¶s how winning is

done! Now if you know what you¶re worth then go out and get what you¶re worth.

But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain¶t

where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that

ain¶t you! You¶re better than that! ± Rocky Balboa

have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know
