“The only one who can tell you ‘you can’t’ is you. And you don’t have to listen.” – Nike

“All your life you are told the things you cannot do. All your life they will say you’re not good enough or strong enough or talented enough; they will say you’re the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or be this or achieve this. THEY WILL TELL YOU NO, a thousand times no, until all the no’s become meaningless. All your life they will tell you no, quite firmly and very quickly. AND YOU WILL TELL THEM YES.”

 “Too often we are scared. Scared of what we might not be able to do. Scared of what people might think if we tried. We let our fears stand in the way of our hopes.

We say no when we want to say yes. We sit quietly when we want to scream. And we shout with the others, when we should keep our mouths shut. Why? After all, we do only go around once. There’s really no time to be afraid.

So stop. Try something you’ve never tried. Risk it. Enter a triathlon. Write a letter to the editor. Demand a raise. Call winners at the toughest court. Throw away your television. Bicycle across the United States. Try bobsledding. Try anything. Speak out against the designated hitter. Travel to a country where you don’t speak the language. Patent something. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. JUST DO IT.”
Barry Sanders (1992):

" No matter how hard life treats you as it should, no matter how dark the road ahead would seem as it would, always keep your head above the skies because that's where your dreams and aspirations lie!"
Written in 2012 by Oscar Alva


" Life is filled with conundrums. It was designed to be a part of our living to shape our sense of being. It is meant to teach us to track the road of life with courage and faith despite the perils in all the dark corners of life. It is an element that God made to make us understand His wonderful presence and sculpt our human spirit."
Written in 2012 by Rodyssa Estabillo


" Even when it's hard to move, take small steps forward; especially in trying times, it's important to continuously push yourself forward because momentum is everything! As long as you keep the momentum positive - even if you're moving at a snail's pace - you'll eventually get to the finish line. So celebrate every step you take today, no matter how small because every step will lead you farther away from where you were yesterday and closer to where you want to be tomorrow. Be it for a better life or a dream we long to realize, we reach "OUR" destinations by taking many, many small steps in the same direction, one at a time...one day at a time...."

" I will grow. I will become something new and grand, but no grander than I now am. Just as the sky will be different in a few hours, its present perfection and completeness is not deficient, so am I presently perfect and not deficient because I will be different tomorrow. I will grow and I am not deficient."
Dr. Wayne Dyer --- submitted by Lauren Covington


" I discovered, from my own little research, that most people give up waiting on God's promises or look for other alternative just at the exact time their much expected breakthrough was to emerge. My little advice: before you decide to quit waiting on God or throw in the towel, ask yourself this little question - what if my breakthrough is to come in the next minute? By so doing, a little strength will spring out of you and you'll see reasons why you ought to wait."

" Behind every successful person, is a dream.... behind those dreams is reality... never stop dreaming of success."
Written in 2012 by Doughlas Taylor



" Your life, with all its ups and downs, has molded you for the greater good. Your life has been exactly what it needed to be. Don't think you've lost time. It took each and every situation you have encountered to bring you to the current moment. And every moment of your life, including this one right now, is a fresh start. If you have the courage to admit when you're scared, the ability to laugh even as you cry, the nerve to speak up even if your voice is shaking, the confidence to ask for help when you need it, and the wisdom to take it when it's offered, then you have everything you need to get yourself to a better place. ..."

" Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters."
