I think we all could use positive motivation.

Post a quote, image or video that inspires you and hopefully inspires others!

Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.

"Trying is the first step toward failure."
- Homer Simpson




Okay, seriously...

"...Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."
- Tennyson

Thank you...I kind of needed to see that today. Tonight me eat cookie. Tomorrow me post motivation.

Be joyful, your victory is now!

Other Yogi-isms I'm quite fond of:

- When you come to a fork in the road, take it.
- It ain't over till it's over.
- You can observe a lot just by watching.
- Always go to other people's funerals. Otherwise they won't go to yours.
- It's deja vu all over again.
- 90% of life is half mental.

"Work well and harder, or I will bring everything you've ever cared about before you and destroy it. If it is a person, I will make the destruction long and painful and also as close to fatally embarrassing as I can. If it is a thing, I will completely twist its purpose into a sick parody of your intentions. Now, WORK."

Seems like it would motivate, but it isn't in keeping with the rest here, somehow.

 

[Karzak]

"The appearance of things change according to the emotions, and thus we see magic and beauty in them, while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves."

"And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare
feet and the winds long to play with your hair."

Who said that?
