My vision need not be bigger than the obstacles. It just needs to be more determined.

I would wonder if the essence of strength lays in the power of passion.

It’s not the length of my stride. It’s the fact that I’m walking.

I wonder how often it’s less about getting out of where we’re at, and more about giving ourselves the illusion that we’re trying to get out of where we’re at. And in the scandalous action of trading the fear of what ‘could be’ for the pain of ‘what is,’ we have traded away the whole of our lives.

Tomorrow’s successes are evidence of yesterday’s dreams that have been wrestled alive by today’s sacrifices.

Someone once said that we should ‘shoot for the moon’. I would whole-heartedly concur for this simple reason; once we get to the moon we are now in a position to ‘shoot for the stars’.

No, I don’t want to live a fairy-tale life fashioned of pixie-dust and enchanted forests. I would much rather forge a life out of the dust and grime of this soiled existence, for to fashion a life out of materials such as these is truly magic.

The most critical time in any battle is not when I’m fatigued, it’s when I no longer care.

If I could understand that every ‘reality’ was once a ‘wish’, and that it moved from the latter to the former because someone was committed enough to make it so, I’d be the person that I want verses the person I’ve become.
