I take things so personally...

I've always believed that you can think positive just as well as you can think negative.
- Sugar Ray Robinson


Our will is a postive force or negative depending on our powerful decision to go either way.
 
Which choice do I make - moment to moment?

You win only if you aren't afraid to lose.
- Rocky Aoki

This quote subtly references the importance of accepting failure.  This gifted athlete apparently worked 7 days a week to work through college and become a business success

A wish is a desire without an attempt.
- Farmer Digest


With spring around the corner, I've planned a cooking course.  Also, I've planned a nutrition course.
 
If you find a bottle with a genie, you still have to rub the bottle, to get that genie out...so take a little action, and with some more small actions, the genie in YOU will come out to turn that wish into whatever you want

We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible.
- Chretien Malesherbes


Nike shoes company has a similar motto "...nothing is impossible...." which is coupled with their playful commercials of athletes in sports.

 you set a goal for yourself and are able to achieve it, you have won your race. Your goal can be to come in first, to improve your performance, or just to finish the race -- it's up to you.
- Dave Scott
This is the first time i've read this quote and realizing that I'm collaborating all the time with others.  Others are helping me to reach my goal and be my best, since my goal is chosen by myself.
 
Unlike the idea of making winning absolute, this quote suggests that goals are independent of others, but others help as your "cheerleaders", not adversaries.
 
Getting to this point has been the real challenge, since it's been hard to judge myself.

The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.
- William James

My mind's capacity was so altered by a musical meditation this week, that it makes me wonder if that ingredient of music could help me regularly feel better.  By changing my focus to poetic lyrics and feeling my body resonate with like-minded people in a positive environment, it showed me how my change of attitude towards something life - giving, instead of worry, could alter my life for that evening

Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you; they're supposed to help you discover who you are.
- Bernice Johnson Reagon


Sometimes it just becomes too much, doesn't it.  The way I look at it, if it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger, as the saying goes.

Confidence doesn't come out of nowhere. It's a result of something... hours and days and weeks and years of constant work and dedication.
- Roger Staubach


I used to think that confidence mean arrogance, until I saw the latin language root.   It means to trust oneself, which would come from all the years of preparation which this great athlete named R. Staubach would have had.
 
All I used to see, of course, was the trophy, statistics and interviews and victory parade.  One has to walk before one can run.

There is no failure except in no longer trying. There is no defeat except from within, no insurmountable barrier except our own inherent weakness of purpose.
- Elbert Hubbard


It's like the mountaineers say - it's yourself you are challenging, not the mountain
