Blaming Circumstances

"People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are.

I don't believe in circumstances.

The people who get on in this world

are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want,

and, if they can't find them, make them."

George Bernard Shaw

Find A Way or An Excuse

Or you could find a reason to make the effort, to transcend the obstacles,

to deal with the challenges and to get where you truly want to go."

Great Desire

“If you greatly desire something, have the guts to stake everything on obtaining it.”

Brendan Francis

It's Up To You

"Frankly, it’s up to you to make your life what you want it to be.

You can have what you want delivered on a silver platter

but you’ll have to be deliberate with your focus -

what you think and what you do.

It’s not hard work.

It’s about having a deeper understanding of

how you manifest prosperity, health and awesome relationships.

Then you have to know the big and little ways you sabotage yourself.

Turning up your ability to create prosperity is not complicated."

Eva Gregory

Have You Noticed

"Have you noticed that when you are in the moment doing something the results take care of themselves?"

Hanneica's Treasury of Quotations

I had to do this!

Every day I see so many amazing quotations.

I write them down - in my diary - on little pieces of paper.

They get lost and forgotten.

Now I'll be able to find them again if I do this right.

All quotations will be tagged for subject or content and for author for easy of retrieval.

Enjoy.

Today is a blessing and a gift of new energy;

Invest it wisely.
