A man who meets a guru on the road asks, "Which way is success?" The guru points to a place off in the distance. The man, thrilled by the prospect of quick and easy success, rushed off in the appropriate direction.

SPLAT! He limps back, bruised and stunned, assuming he must have misinterpreted the message. He repeats his question to the guru, who again points silently in the same direction. He obediently walks off once more. This time the splat is deafening, and when he crawls back, he is bloody, broken and irate. "I asked you which way is success!" he screams at the guru. "I followed the direction you indicated! And all I got was splattered! No more of this pointing! Talk!" Only then does the guru speak: "Success is that way. Just a little after the splat." It's what we do after the splat that makes all the difference. Whatever you want to accomplish in life will require persistence. (source unknown)

A young man once asked a great and famous older man, "How can I make a name for myself in the world and become successful?" The great and famous man replied: "You have only to decide upon what it is you want and then stay with it, never deviating from your course no matter how long it takes, or how rough the road, until you have accomplished it." Success if found by holding on long after others have let go. (source unknown)

These are wonderful and inspirational!! Keep adding, Members! They are so powerful and such great reminders of our strengths. This is one of my many favorite quotations:

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us.
Marianne Williamson

Good morning Juanita: Thanks for sharing that story. It does bring home the important things in life. We can get so busy or preoccupied we forget sometimes until something changes and brings it into focus again.

Have a great day everyone,

Your friend, Sunny

Juanita,

That is a touching story and it puts our own problems in perspective. Sometimes it seems the people with the most obstacles to overcome have the most positive attitudes. We should learn from them. I believe in miracles also.

I found a quote that reminds me of my dragon slayer analogy. "The worst liars in the world are your own fears (dragons): Worry is the traitor in our camp that dampens our powder and weakens our aim." William Jorden

Hi !

This is not an inspirational quote...its a story...I will warn everyone.... its sad, but at the same time so inspirational...its been on my mind since I read it last week, and I want to share it with you all.

The front page story in our local paper was about a young mother of a 2 year old , with terminal cancer. She's only 31. She has already had a really rough time with surgeries and chemotherapy....but now there's nothing left that the doctor's can do for her. Thats the sad part...

Onto the Inspirational part....in the article she is quoted as saying..."I could lay around all day crying , but I'm choosing to enjoy ever minute I have left...none of us know how long we have, and I believe in miracles"...

Now Im wiping the tears....but not because I'm sad, although I am sad for her, but at the same time so uplifted.

How remarkable and strong she is! Since reading her story, along with sending out "prayers " for her every day ...I am more appreciative and grateful for all t he love in my own life.... my family and friends, and I'm letting them know how much I appreciate them so much more often...

So my friends, thanks for being here for me, and I will be here for you.

This one just came on my FB today

"I release all feelings of worry and guilt. Throughout life,the two most futile emotions are guilt for what has been done, and worry about what might be done." Dr. Wayne Dyer

I love collecting quotes that resonate with me as I come across them. Here are two I've added recently:

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

“If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.” – Abraham Maslow

Member,

A few lines can make us smile, think and dream. Quotes are little gems of wisdom passed along to others. What is your favorite quote? What quotes do you value. Think about it ,look around and share a quote that has meaning to you.

I’ll start:
“Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.” -Joshua J. Marine
