Follow your dreams...

Follow your dreams and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls.

Have some fire

Have some fire. Be unstoppable. Be a force of nature.
Be better than anyone here, and don’t give a damn what anyone thinks.
There are no teams here, no buddies. You’re on your own. Be on your own.

A successful woman

A successful woman is one who can build a firm foundation
with the bricks others have thrown at her.

Education

Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.

 - Jim Rohn

Where do you want to go?

 One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree.
“Which road do I take?” she asked.
“Where do you want to go?” was his response.
“I don’t know,” Alice answered.
“Then,” said the cat, “it doesn't matter.”
-  Lewis Carroll

To love is to be vulnerable.

Love anything and your heart will certainly be wrung. And possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries. Avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket - safe, dark motionless, airless – it will change. It will not be broken. It will become unbreakable, impenetrable… irredeemable. “To love is to be vulnerable.” – CS Lewis

It’s really not that difficult.

It’s really not that difficult to overcome these seemingly ghastly problems…
What’s hard is to decide.

Pursue it.

If it’s both terrifying and amazing then you should definitely pursue it.

That’s how I’ve done it.

 

     You just do it. You force yourself to get up. You force yourself to put one foot before the other, and God damn it, you refuse to let it get to you. You fight. You cry. You curse. Then you go about your business of living. That’s how I’ve done it.
There’s no other way.  

- Elisabeth Taylor

To turn over a new page.

"When you feel that you have reached the end and that you cannot go one step further, when life seems to be drained of all purpose: what a wonderful opportunity to start all over again, to turn over a new page."
