drive

If life throws you a few bad notes or vibrations, don't let them interrupt or alter your song.

I don__ understand hospital chaplains that try to rob my patients of their anger. Sometimes anger is a key motivator that gets people to take action. Anger can push a cancer patient to jump out of his hospital bed, walk down to the nurses station and scream, __ am getting the hell out of here!_. There is a misconception that God is simply sweet and passive. Actually, God can be quite cunning, manipulative and relentless with his children. What we consider as negative traits are actually helpful in molding us. He will use a negative emotion if needed to push people to do things that will change them for the better. He will allow people or situations to derail us if there is a chance that those interactions will push us forward. Personally, I don__ want a God that is going to send some church member to my deathbed with a plate of cookies and tell me to have faith. Actually, I rather have a God that screams, __et the hell off your ass, stop feeling sorry for yourself. Walk down the hall with that Physical Therapist so you can get on with your life!" A little anger in a person can push them to do amazing things.

The drive to know fuels the desire to seek.

The pressure of adversity is the most powerful sustainer of accountability. It's as though everything you do is multiplied by 50 in order to surpass those with a head-start. I was never capable of slacking when at the threshold of failure.

It's better to move on now and feel a pinch, than hold on and later treat a wound

Everyone has their own calling, but not everyone is looking for the phone, or either they missed the call, or just not answered it.

God can communicate to us through powerful feelings. They have an energy that impels us to action. They grip our mind and will not let us go. What is calling you? What has the voice of God been whispering to you through the desires of your heart? To what are you drawn and constantly compelled to do? It could be that God is opening the eyes of your heart to see something that no one else is seeing, and to do something that others aren__ doing. If that is true, then move forward and let God worry about the how.

Goals are my north star. _My compass. _The map that guides me along the road I wish to travel. _Goals are motivations with wind in their sails__hey carry me forward despite the storms.

Inspiration may come from many places but motivation - the love of life, daily drive and the will to thrive - that must come from you from within

Keep your standards even when everyone around you is losing theirs.

The denial of assistance is sometimes the greatest assistance. The trick is recognizing when this is the case.

Who told you that your journey was a thousand miles

The key to success__eep swimming. Even when they tap you on the shoulder to say the pool has been drained, just keep swimming.

Something that is set can be broken, so are society standards and limits.

Who told you that your journey is a thousand miles?

Having this, we want that.Owning some, we want more.Standing here, we wish to be there.If it's impossible, we struggle to make it happen.Why are we like this? Why not be content with some, here, and now? Why is enough not enough? Because humans are ambitious creatures not meant to be idle or fruitless. We strive to learn, to grow, to achieve, to amass; therefore, we will never be content.

Dreams are like holding on to a good book in your hands; you have the full story in your palms, but no matter how much you want to get to the end of the story, you have to go through all the pages first; and you are the writer.

What matters most with any regimen, whether it's to lose weight or stop drinking or smoking, is your willingness to seek help and your desire to say 'no more.
