Be True to Yourself

This above all: to thine own self be true.
William Shakespeare

You are the only one who can judge yourself.  Be true to yourself.  Have the courage to stand up for your dreams and your beliefs.  In the end, when you stand, you leave this world alone and you alone will be the judge of your legacy.

The Measure of a Man

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
Martin Luther King Jr.


It's easy to go with the flow and float along with the crowd.  This doesn't take courage.  Courage is the ability to stand up in the face of fear for your beliefs.  

Take a leap of Faith

You can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.
Christopher Columbus


You can play it safe and stay along the beaten path.  If you do so, you will achieve all the foreseeable goals.  But you will never push the envelop of your dreams.  This takes courage.  You need to close your eyes and step off that ledge.  


Then jump to the other side and see where your dreams take you.

If you can imagine it, you can create it. If you dream it, you can become it.

If you can imagine it, you can create it. If you dream it, you can become it.
William Arthur Ward


Such a simple statement.  Yet it epitomizes the power of the mind.  in order to achieve something, you must first believe.


Do you have goals?  What are your dreams?  If you are going to achieve great things, then you must stretch your imagination.  You must first dream big.
