Chef Becca KY

"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." - www.successories.com

"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, "Mrs. Warren's Profession," 1893

"You are positive, creative, and happy to the degree to which you
eliminate negative emotions from your life."--Brian Tracy

"You can't give away something that you don't have; you can't make
others happy if you are unhappy."--Brian Tracy





Read this if you have Kids

Spend as much time as you can with your kids now. Or they will have grown up before you know what happened, and your relationship will be less than it could have been... Your fond memories, also.

"I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and gosh darn it, people like me!"
--Stuart Smalley

no really...
--Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal
and of course (and I believe this from training for the Chicago Marathon!)
--Success is a journey, not a destination

Okay. I don't know who said this, so I don't know if it qualifies as a quote, but my favorite saying right now is:

Be carefule whose feet you step on,
They might be attached to a BUTT you have to kiss later!

Jennie_becca

Mine, I got from my AD.

Opportunites are never lost; someone else will take the ones you miss.
I don't know who said it, but it was on a note pad I got as a gift.

I like the feet one though, it makes me laugh.

There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they're necessary to reach the places we've chosen to go.”

-- Richard Bach, The Bridge Across Forever

Great one I sent to my husband

kat29

I really liked that one. Have to remember it. I use to have this attached to my emails:

People may forget what you do,
People may forget what you say,
But they never forget how you make them feel.


And then my favorite is from my dad. He uses this all the time:

"I may not always be right, but I'm never wrong!"

Harrle

"What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?"

"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them"--Walt
Disney

Ooooh - I am a BIG inspirational quote person...my AOL profile is filled with the following quotes:


Right actions for the future
are the best apologies for wrong ones in the past.


STOP THE INSANITY!

I believe that you control your destiny, that you can be what you want to be....You can also stop and say, 'No, I won't do it, I won't behave this way anymore.'
--Leo Buscaglia--

If you always do what you've always done...
you will always get what you always got.

Be Brave!
Step Out of Your Comfort Zone!!
Try something new!!!

Children are not toys. They are not here to love you or give you something you think you are missing. If you want a toy, buy a doll.

**Choose to make a difference rather than a dollar**

If one dream dies...dream another dream.

A child who is allowed to be disrespectful to his parents will not have true respect for anyone.



Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow; it only saps today of its strength.

"Be kinder than necessary,
for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."
Unknown

You're braver than you believe. Stronger than you seem. And smarter than you think.
-A. A. Milne

There's a light at each end of this tunnel,
You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
If you only try turning around.
...
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them, however you want to.
-Anna Nalick

"Courage means flying in the face of criticism, relying on yourself, being willing to accept and learn from the consequences of all your choices. It means believing enough in yourself and in living your life as you choose so that you cut the strings whose ends other people hold and use to pull you in contrary directions."
~Wayne Dyer~

I will climb this mountain. They told me it is too high, too far, too steep and too difficult. But it is my mountain. I will climb it. You will see me waving from the top or dead on the side from trying.

God is in control!

“I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:11-13)

Short and sweet but I know HE has given me everything and I don't deserve anything!

My husband never worries about anything and he loves to say this quote:

"Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things"

chefjenibel

"To the world, you may only be one person;
But to one person, you just may be the world!"

I don't know the author, but I think it's a beautiful quote!

nikked

Too funny! My hubby is the first one I thought of when I heard this quote!

soonerchef

"Everyone rises to their level of incompetency!"

Molly Jo

My favorite quote is:
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but rather by the moments that take our breath away"

I don't know who said it, but I love it! We have a special needs 3 year old son and it makes me think about how precious his life is and even though he may not be with us a long time he has and will continue to enrich our lives.

mrssyvo

My favorite USED to be " Why put of till tomorrow what you can get out of all together" I am trying to be more responsible. Now it is "The right thing at the wrong time is the wrong thing." I keep reminding myself of this when I look at my rolling recruit list of all of my recruit leads that will do this when the time is right. I need to trust God that everything wil happen in HIS time

This one is important to me.

Writing is from Nazi victim Pastor Martin Niemoeller; THEY FIRST CAME FOR THE COMMUNISTS AND I DIDN’T SPEAK UP–BECAUSE I WASN’T A COMMUNIST. THEN THEY CAME FOR THE JEWS AND I DIDN’T SPEAK UP–BECAUSE I WASN’T A JEW. THEN THEY CAME FOR THE TRADE UNIONISTS AND I DIDN’T SPEAK UP–BECAUSE I WASN’T A TRADE UNIONIST. THEN THEY CAME FOR THE CATHOLICS AND I DIDN’T SPEAK UP–BECAUSE I WAS A PROTESTANT. THEN THEY CAME FOR ME–AND BY THAT TIME NO ONE WAS LEFT TO SPEAK UP.
