Everyone gets discourages...The question is: Are you going to give up or get up? It's a choice.

The key to encouragement is in knowing what gives people courage; what spurs them on to action.

Disappointment is the gap that exists between expectation and reality.

Dreams require down payments. Dreams are free, but the journey isn't. There is a price to pay. First, you must pay the price of dealing with criticism from people who matter. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, 'Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong.' Second, you must pay the price of overcoming your fears. Failure, rejection, and looking foolish are common fears - but they are just feelings that can be conquered and removed from your thoughts. Finally, you must be willing to pay the price of hard work in order to realize your dream.

To achieve all that is possible, we must attempt the impossible. To be all we can be, we must dream of being more.

True success comes only when every generation continues to develop the next generation.

Make personal growth a daily priority.
