My very favourite....
"Adversity causes some men to break - And others to break records."
A couple of other faves...
"We'd never see the rainbow, if it wasn't for the rain"
"Dream, Believe, Achieve..."
"Life's not about how many breaths we take, it's about the moments that take your breath away"
"Life's not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain."
Aaaah I love inspirational quotes!!
Frankly, if the truth be known, I think God has singled me out for a special treatment. I think God meant for me to build a thirst for a child so strong and so deep that when that baby is finally placed in my arms, it will be the longest, coolest, most refreshing drink I've ever known.
Beautiful rach xx
just a few more i really love
Nothing happens by pure chance or accident, and what appears to be merely fortunate or unfortunate circumstance is really the outworking of God's plans.
"And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow." ~ G. K. Chesterton
If you look at what you have in life, You'll always have more. If you look at what you don't have in life, You'll never have enough.
Do you mind if I use the first quote as the little line below my username? I'm thinking I need to have this tattooed somewhere on my body that I look at every day...best spot right now would be my breast I think lol.:
If not, no biggie - I promise!

Of course you can babe xx I put it on here to help hun

"When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place"
My favourite is a quote by Pearl Jam's lead singer Eddie Vedder.
"Those who dance are called insane by those who don't hear the music".
Oooh I love this thread! I'm going to pull a heap off from my FB page...
"Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand" - makes me think of being upset and getting the girls round and cheering up
"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear"
"Imagine what you could do if you knew you couldn't fail" - I think so many of us don't attempt things because we think we won't be able to do it.
"Follow every rainbow, till you find your dream" - never give up and stop trying to actively seek out what you want in life
"When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained" - don't try and over-analys things because we can never be sure what others are thinking
"Remember to be gentle with yourself and others. We are all children of chance and none can say why some fields will blossom while others lay brown beneath the August sun. Care for those around you. Look past your differences. Their dreams are no less than yours, their choices no more easily made. And give, give in any way you can, of whatever you posses. To give is to love. To withhold is to wither. Care less for your harvest than for how it is shared and your life will have meaning and your heart will have peace.”
"Honor isn't about making the right choices. It's about dealing with the consequences" - always take responsibility for your actions
My absolute fave is...
"Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss passionately, love truly, laugh constantly and never stop smiling no matter how strange life is" - whenever i'm upset I use this
And finally (sung in Glee style)
"DON'T STOP BELIEVING"!!!!!
Wow that a lot!
Dedication ultimately proves better than ability. Ray Wheatley
Move out of your comfirt zone. You can only grow if you are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new. Brian Tracy
A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future and accepts you just the way you are.
The greatest thing in life is doing what people say you cannot do
You are the handicap you must face.
You are the one who must choose your place.
You are never a loser until you quit trying.
If you can't accept losing, you can't win.
The future influences the present just as much as the past does. Frederich Nietzsche
Brave isn't about not being afraid, it's about being scared to death and still not giving in
He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life. Muhammad Ali
It is our choices...that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.
These are all quotes I love. I use most of them for my training but some apply to everything in life really...
Oh, goosebumps material that one.:
My all time fave is "Don't take life to seriously, it isn't permanent...." reminds me to, well... not take things to seriously when I start getting all panic attackish over bills and whatever.
I have seen some pretty inspiring ones in people sigs too around here ;)
"Worry does not empty tomorrow of sorrow - it empties today of strength."
Happiness is a journey, not a destination. So, love like you have never been hurt, work like you dont need the money, and dance like there's no tomorrow :)
And, of course - If you hate something, don't you do it too
This is an old song from savage garden- affirmations and these are some lyrics that just hit the spot for me and give me shivers
I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye
I believe forgiveness is the key to your unhappiness..
I live by "everything happens for a reason"... its sometimes the only thing that gets me through hard times.
I also like "yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift, thats why its called the pressent"
I've come accross so many lately. I love this one
You are here to enable the divine purpose of the universe to unfold.
That's how important you are!
I love collecting quotes and poems!!
I like the poem "If" by Kipling.
I also love the poem Don't Quit. It is by that great author Anon!!
Some sayings are:
In three words I can sum up everything I know about life: It goes on.
When you are going through hell, keep going. (Winston Churchill)
Never ever ever give up (Winston Churchill)
And the serenity prayer
Also finally 1 Corinthians 13:4,13 from the bible
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
mine is next to my name...
when life throws you a curve, tuck in, hold on and ride it.
basically to me it means you can get through anything if you are determined.
wheneevr thinsg go wrong i think just hold on it will all be ok soon
and i love, "life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what ya gonna get "
I saw this on my friends FB.
- Whoever said happiness needs sunshine has never gone dancing in the rain :) just loved it.
- Never frown,even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile :)
I just read this in a new book i've started...about how anything can be accomplished if you take it a little at a time;
By the mile it's a pile, by the yard it's hard, by the inch it's a cinch!
I love it!
"Looking forward, not behind; everybody’s got to cross that line." - Three Doors Down.
"...but it's better you be the writer yourself than some b*$tard who only ever writes bad parts for you." - Richard Flanagan, 'The Sound of One Hand Clapping'.
"Hedhiu ew hedhiu buz ma liaz avorrow." - A modern Cornish translation of "today is today but there are many tomorrows".
"Life sucks, but the alternative is unacceptable". Dude from Deadliest Catch.
In March 1918 Bethune, then commanding No. 1 section, 3rd Machine Gun Company, was ordered to defend an exposed position at Passchendaele. His group of seven men became isolated, but held the position for eighteen days. Bethune issued the following orders, later described by The Times as 'inspiring and famous':
1.This position will be held and the section will remain here until relieved.
2.The enemy cannot be allowed to interfere with this programme.
3.If the section cannot remain here alive, it will remain here dead, but in any case it will remain here.
4.Should any man, through shell shock or other cause, attempt to surrender, he will remain here dead.
5.Should all guns be blown out, the section will use Mills grenades, and other novelties.
6.Finally, the position, as stated, will be held.
The above inspires me and reminds me that my problems are nought.
Nothing is predestined: The obstacles of your past can become the gateways that lead to new beginnings
theres truth behind every 'just kidding', curiosity behind every 'just wondering', knowledge behind every 'i dont know' and emotion behind every ' i dont care'
knows there's no dawn without a night, no rainbow without the rain, no victory without a fight, no happiness without pain...somehow we will all find love again!
My house is clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy. My Mum has a sign up in her house for this one.
Another one my Mum always says is "It's ok to spoil your children, just don't ruin them"
Bump :)

Love it Epacris!
DP always says ''be nicest to those who deserve it least'' it always reminds me to strive to be a better person.
As a child i was always told ''what doesnt kill you, makes you stronger'' and DP always says ''everything happens for a reason'' and they always remind me to just trust that things will work out if i just hold on.
also the saying in my sig ''spend less time making a living and mre time making a life'' is there to remind me that money doesnt make a happy family, i tend to get so stressed when we have nothing to fall back on money wise but i have to remember that you dont need $$$$ to have a beautiful family!
"Take it in. Take it all in. Now is a time that will not not come again. " The Waifs
"Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming swimming"....Dory
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
It's a cliche these days really but boy when times have been so tough I felt like I almsot was killed it has rung so true and those times really have made me stronger and been worth it for showing me what a strong person I am.
There is absolutely no evidence for the idea that life is serious
Love this one! Reminds me to chill out :)
Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.
This has also helped me through hard times and reminded me that struggle is a choice I make, not something imposed on me.
When life rains on your parade bring out the slip n slide :D
I like those Heather!!
What is the future? The future is a blank sheet of paper and we draw lines on it, but sometimes the lines we draw aren't the ones we necessarily wanted.
That's sort of how it goes, it's from Tomorrow, When The War Began, by John Marsden. I remember reading it and it stuck with me because even though the lines we draw aren't necessarily the ones we intended to, they sometimes come out better.

"There comes a point in life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore, and who always will. So don't worry about the people from your past there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future."- this is my fb status atm thought id share as i love it!! :)
"According to the laws of aerodynamics, the bumble bee cannot fly. I guess no-one bothered to tell the bee"
Illegitimi non carborundum (DOn't let the bastards grind you down)
so so true i agree i say that.:
also say suck it up self growth will come as a result of doing it
always trust and rely in a aself then you can never feel disapointed in others:)
i also say you allways need to live with your actions and desition's so make them right.
Don't give up on the goal, just change the due date :)
Remember happiness doesn't depend on who you are or what you have. It depends solely on what you think..... Buddha
A person needs just 3 things to be truly happy in this world....
someone to Love
something to do
And Something to hope for
Buddha also but I've been saying it forever :)
"If you keep doing what you've always done, you'll keep getting what you've always got"
Life only demands from you the strength you posses x
"Brave isn't about not being afraid, it's about being scared to death and still not giving in"
even though in context it is about war, and actually fighting. It applies to things on other levels too. as simply as don't give up. which is something i have stood by for a long time, you might feel nervous or unsure, but all that just gets in your way and stops you getting what you want, so you have to ignore it and just keep going.
You are braver then you believe...Stronger then you seem...And Smarter then you think
You never know how strong you are, until being strong is the only choice you have
Change is never easy, You fight to hold on and you fight to let go
There is nothing more healing then the expectation of tomorrow
Good judgment comes from experience, and often experience comes from bad judgment.
