It's not how much you accomplish in life that really counts, but how much you give to other.
It's not how high you build your dreams that makes a difference, but how high your faith can climb.
It's not how many goals you reach, but how many lives you touch.
It's not who you know that matters, but who you are inside.
Believe in the impossible, hold tight to the incredible, and live each day to its fullest potential.
You can make a difference in your world.

Within You Is The Strength To Meet Life's Challenges
You are stronger than you think,remember to stand tall.
Every challenge in your life helps you to grow.
Every problem you encounter strengthens your mind and your soul.
Every trouble you overcome increases your understanding of life.
When all your troubles weigh heavily on your shoulders,
remember that beneath the burden you can stand tall,
because you are never given more than you can handle...
and you are stronger than you think.

A Creed To Live By
Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.
It is because we are different that each of us is special.
Don't set your goals by what other people
deem important.
Only you know what is best for you.
Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart.
Cling to them as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless.
Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future.
By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.
Don't give up when you still have something to give.
Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect.
It is this fragile thread that binds us to each other.
Don't be afraid to encounter risks.
It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive love is to give love.
The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly;
and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Don't dismiss your dreams.
To be without dreams is to be without hope;
to be without hope is to be without purpose.
Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you're going.
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

Take These Thoughts With You On Your Journey To Your Dreams
Don't ever forget that you are unique. Be your best self and not an imitation of someone else.
Find your strength and use them in a positive way. Don't listen to those who ridicule the choices you make.
Travel the road that you have chosen and don't look back with regret. You have to take chances to make your dreams happen.
Remember that there is plenty of time to travel another road - and still another - in your journey through life.
Take the time to find the route that is right for you. You will learn something valuable from every trip you take, so don't be afraid to make mistakes.
Tell yourself that you're okay just the way you are. Make friends who respect your true self.
Take the time to be alone, too, so you can know just how terrific your own company can be.
Remember that being alone doesn't always mean being lonely; it can be a beautiful experience of finding your creativity, your heartfelt feelings, and the calm and quiet peace deep inside you.
Don't ever forget that you are special and you have within you the ability to make your dreams come true.

A New Strength
There are times in every life when we feel hurt or alone...
But I believe that these time when we feel lost and all around us seems
to be falling apart are really bridges of growth.
We struggle and try to recapture the security of what was,
but almost in spite of ourselves, we emerge on the other side
with a new understanding a new awareness, a new strength.
It is almost as though we must go through the pain and the struggle in order to grow and reach new heights

Reaching Your Dream Takes Courage
Courage is admitting that you're afraid and facing that fear directly. It's being strong enough to ask for help and humble enough to accept it.
Courage is standing up for what you believe in without worrying about the opinions of others. It's following your own heart, living your own life, and settling for nothing less than the best for yourself.
Courage is daring to take a first step, a big leap, or a different path. It's attempting to do something that no one has done before and all others thought impossible.
Courage is keeping heart in the face of disappointment and looking at defeat not as an end but as a new beginning. It's believing that things will ultimately get better even as they get worse.
Courage is being responsible for your own actions and admitting your own mistakes without placing blame on others. It's relying not on others for your success, but on your own skills and efforts.
Courage is refusing to quit even when you're intimidated by impossibility. It's choosing a goal, sticking with it, and finding solutions to the problems.
Courage is thinking big, aiming high, and shooting far. It's taking a dream and doing anything, risking everything, and stopping at nothing to it make it a reality.

This Can Be A Time Of Growth
As difficult as this time in your life may be, you will become stronger
If you face each day with patience and hope;
If you accept your weaknesses but concentrate on your strengths;
If you love and care for yourself even when you are angry and confused;
If you can look at doubt and fear but keep your mind on the fact that the struggle is helping you to grow in faith and confidence.
If you gently pick yourself up when you fall and continue walking;
If you keep thinking about all the things you can do well, all the things that bring you joy, and all the people you love who also love you;
If you hold on to your goals even though the way to reach them may be unclear, then…
You can see the troubling times almost as friends who have come to help you grow further then you thought you could;
Friends who are showing you the way to a more courageous heart;
Friends who help you to see that you are more powerful than you ever thought you were;
Friends who help you to see that the hard times are making you more open to accepting life as it comes, and realizing that you have the inner strength and loving nature to deal successfully with any difficult moment.
