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…

- Nike

Try to be reasonable in the way you grow,
and don’t ever think it is too late.
It is never too late.
Even if you are going to die tomorrow,
keep yourself straight and clear and be a happy human being today.
If you keep your situation happy day by day,
you will eventually reach the greatest happiness of enlightenment.- Lama Thubten Yeshe

If you think you are too small to be effective,
you have never been in the dark with a mosquito.

Courage is not the absence of fear,
but rather the judgment that something else i
is more important than fear.

- Ambrose Redmoon

Through every trial we grow.
All suffering we experience has a meaning.
Though it seems very cruel, it is like the fire that smelts the iron ore:
The steel that emerges from that furnace is beautifully strong,
Useful for many purposes.

- Paramhansa Yogananda

Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers,
but to be fearless in facing them.
Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain,
but for the heart to conquer it
